In the West, the harry potter girls get bigger boobs on posters thanks to photoshop. In japan, they get a cute dress with lace.

In the west, backstage dancers dress slutty, with clothing that try to be as short and tight as possible (especially in the rap scene and such) and dance in sexualized ways. While in Japan, they wear cute idol dresses and dance in a more energetic girlish style.

I have seen some western and japanese porn (vanilla, not fetish). And I can tell you, I prefer the japanese porn a lot more, even with their censor. The girls are more cute, act more cute and look clean while they dont act like a cheap crack whore like in western porn. Non-fetish japanese porn is a lot more tasteful then western porn. (I can't say anything about fetish porn however).
What in the fuck?

Why are people using Sankaku Complex as a reliable news source? They're the National Enquirer for weeaboos.

Because they were reading sankaku anyway. You go there to get information on Japanese games and on anime (such as "the latest episode of ___ is out, check your torrent sites!"), and for pornography. And while you're there, you get the latest news on why they hate Korea, China and actually, everywhere else that isn't Japan.

Why would a site allowing people to check Japanese games and Korean cartoons, love Japan but hate Korea?

Sankaku Complex is a weeaboo site. Most of them shouldn't be able to find either Korea on a map.
