One assumes because they are common in Japan and they realize not thy aren't in other places when they're making shit about other cultures; this is super common. Every American film ever that will have a scene on location in another place will have numerous cultural gaffes. Judge Dredd was written by an Englishman but set in the U.S. and had multiple gaffes where the author forgot that in the U.S. they drive on the right side of the road.
I thought pic related was some kind of interesting inversion of gender roles actually when I first saw it; in most parts of Europe it's the gender norm for the female to lie on the male lap; in Japan it's apparently the reverse but the setting is Europe.

Head pats are a nice way you think that person is being cute and secretly show they're beneath you.

Yeah, the same thing happened in jojo part 5 (that is set in Italy) where a character doesn't like the number 4 because it's unlucky, even though the number 4 is unlucky only in Japan

Fair enough, but you should know that nothing beats the feeling of getting headpat from your mom or dad. ;_;

Headpats are common in my country and I think Europe as a whole.

Is Vindland Saga worth it? First episodes have a fuckawsome premise but quickly get tarnished by animu tropes.

If someone who isn't like blowjob level relationship tried to head pat a grown man can expect a fist to the face.
