[OHayou]

It might be just my own distorted perception but it seems (to me at least) that the more skilled a person becomes in either learning the Japanese language or culture (or both) there exists a higher tendency for them to become condescending or outright rude based on that particular skill set. (At least online that is.)

I have my own thoughts on the possible reasons (one being that perhaps people who have lived in Japan for a few years have a knee-jerk reaction to any foreigners who even breathe words like anime, harajuku, samurai, etc..) but I'm just curious if this is a thing others have noticed and why you might think it exists (if it does at all)?
