Of course you haven't, and that's their exact intention.

    Europeans do not find out about the Ainu naturally. I legitimately did not discover them until Golden Kamuy included them and I'm a massive Japan nerd to the point of having been there a couple times.

        Oh? Are Ainu on reddit all the time? Where do they usually show up?

          No, I'm referring to the redditor behavior of:

          pretending to know about every ethnicity/tribe that ever existed, while actually knowing nothing about them at all other than the fact that they existed, resulting in a commidifying fetishization of their culture, while also spreading white wewuzzery myths about their origin.
