Why has the katana received so much criticism around here nowadays? Are Europeans jealous that Japan has a more refined history of sword making than Europe?

It's a brittle, useless piece of shit.

Shit steel
Shit blade geometry

It's all weeb's fault. Katana is too overrated by weebs, and it's annoying to see how weebs proudly compare it among all other weapons.
Jeremiah Turner
Well you might be right about that, but Japan has every right to be proud of its exquisite history of sword making.
John Murphy
It's an amazing design that compensates for Japan's shit steel in the pre-modern era quite nicely, but it's still no match for a European sword from a comparable era.

Because they're bought by autistics
Jacob Watson
Praised by weebs and fedoras which causes people to lash out.
Adam Perez
Sure, if you buy it from Walmart or Sears like most weebs do.

Thanks. But most of us don't even have any experience to touch Katana. It's like a lost technology.

Katana is the most glourious weapon because it was made in Nippon!

They're fucking shit, they're mostly for show.
Not even the samurai really used them, they used boss and spears mostly.

FFS what the fuck???? Its obvious that katana is inferior not becuase of the material, but for the lenght. Its like making a comparison between a beam and a thin blade.

The katana has a good design aesthetically; it is quite simple and sometimes can be even minimalist, which makes it quite appealing to a modern audience. It's depictions in the media that popularised it draw attention to the sword too. In comparison, western swords are usually tools for the heroes to use in their respective stories or whatever.
As a result, all the weebs fawn over katana and then believe that they can live up to what their fantasies.

Katana vs. Longsword is the Superman vs. Goku of historical weaponry.
They were both designed for fairly different combat scenarios and deciding which one is better can be dependent on the situation.
Two Samurai wearing minimal armor, one with a katana one with a longsword? Katana would probably be able to get the first kill swing.
Two knights wearing medium to heavy armour, one with a katana, one with a longsword. longsword wins as the katana is easily blocked.
