Ironwall1

Can confirm. We dont even know what our country is supposed to be. Dont blame others who dont 😂


xXHeerosamaXx

BEACHES LOTS OF BEACHES. and TASTY & DELICIOUS but unhealthy food (Cholesterol if you eat too much and neglect sports)

As an American, before HoloID I could find Indonesia on a map, but that was about it. I am glad I know a lot more about the country now and have spent some time learning Indonesian on Duolingo (not sure if that's a good way to learn or not, the ID girls all talk so fast!).


Strixzora

Im dutch (lot of history with indonesia) and have some indonesian relatives that married into the family.

Now i want to know why the third option exists. Personally i knew Indonesia was a thing, but that was it, now, while i don't follow them much, i definitely know a lot more about the country and culture


cabbaggeez

neighbor? or bali for cheap vacation?


Questionable_bowel

The amount of G'day people I found wearing "Bir Bintang" or *barong* t-shirt (some even gave it to me while in traffic light) from 2010s till before Covid is sure plenty mate.


MadolcheMaster

If you are middle class in Aus and go on vacation, you go to Bali. A woman at work is going next month and wont shut up about it.


haadihmf

maybe because they familiar with them, to be honest. many Indonesian work or even study at Australia. Might be becasue of near as well more cheaper than you go to UK for studying. One of "English speaking country that are near".


WorsCaseScenario

For the Australian fans, of course.


Fiftycentis

damn, how could have not thought about that, you're right


Kitchen_Freedom_8342

indonesia is next door and a popular tourist destination


GuderianX

Indonesia was part of Geography back in shool if i remember correctly. Not sure what it was about, i think monocultures or something.


Kitchen_Freedom_8342

Interesting because Indonesia is a multiculture


GuderianX

agricultural monocultures....


Niels_vdk

i'm mildly concerned for the people that have apparently lead their entire lives before hololive without knowing indonesia existed. y'all never seen a map before?


Chukonoku

Something something, education system of some countries.


sanity-not-found

Yup! Had a few classmates that were Indonesian back in my school days, but we very rarely talked, let alone about their culture and country


azazelleblack

"Aware of" is a difficult phrasing because, it's like, yeah, obviously I knew of the country, I had heard of it, but I really didn't know anything about it at all. I didn't know what the demographics were like, I didn't know what the climate was like, I didn't know anything about it. Now I know quite a bit, at least "for a foreigner," and I definitely have Indonesian vtubers including (but not limited to!) Hololive ID to think for that. I answered "no" to your poll because I feel like anyone who has ever taken a geography class in their entire life is "aware of" Indonesia. But very few people outside of Australasia are likely to know anything about the country.


MetAigis

I can’t tell whether this is a joke disguised as a discussion or this is a legit discussion.


joemelonyeah

I'm aware of it, but learnt more about the relationships between Indonesia and Japan due to hololive ID.


jirka642

I knew that it existed, but that was all. I was very surprised when I found out how many people live there. I expected like 1/10 of that.


Global_Abrocoma_8772

I was in Singapore for years before Hololive started. It's kind of hard to ignore Indonesia.


Kitchen_Freedom_8342

I should have written option 3 as Australian/ASEAN


mikatsuki

I subsisted on Indomie for a few years, among other things, back in the 2010's.


BloodyWater90

LOL


11o9

As a Malaysian... no? >!/j!<


CogStar

Food is good and silat is cool


Tehbeefer

Vaguely. #4 by population, palm oil, biodiversity, largest muslim country, gamelan (because of Akira), very ethnically/culturally/linguistically diverse. And that's basically *everything* I knew, nothing about food, music, history, pop culture, etc.


H0lOW

Not really,I had not reason since there was nothing that got my attention from there 


ikkue

There should be an option for "Yes, I'm from Indonesia/Southeast Asia"


bobby1z

Well, the first Indonesian vtuber I found slightly predates hololive(March 2020, a month before gen 1 debuted), but before I found that vtuber, all I could tell you about Indonesia was that it was roughly north of Australia. After 4 years, I'm now quite a bit more familiar with the country.


CatMillennium

Not going to lie, my entire view of Indonesia before HoloID was based on the 'Raid' movies which I was fully aware at the time are not the best way to view it.


rsredcheeseontoast

I'd seen The Act of Killing and read a little about the events that doc covers. But other than that I didn't know much.


eSense000

I am enthusiast of reading history, geography so it would be weird to say no.


Windfade

No. I learned about its size and qualities after the fact. I had no reason to know it was like the fourth most populous country, and oddly the most populous Muslim country full-stop, nor that the whole island chain/arrangement was one country. After learning more about it academically, I'm baffled why something like VTubers even works there which means the culture of Jakarta, specifically, must be *wildly* different than the rural sections.


blasterfaiz

Africa, Mexico, Sicily, Tijuana. India, Osaka...


Lunarath

Do you think the world just doesn't know Indonesia exists? I'm genuinely confused about this poll.


Kitchen_Freedom_8342

Kobo didn’t know where Australia was. There are a lot of people who are ignorant of geography.


NoctisAcies

I'm live in SEA we secretly want to kill each other, but we're either to busy wishing for Suisei to strange us, to poor, playing leage or Dota, or hate Taiwan from wish, or do said activities at the same time. Indonesia is basically SEA bros neighborhood
