No joke here. I just think stuff like this is interesting.

I think it's more in the delivery. Some things that might also sound sarcastic in English can also just sound insulting in Japanese so directly translating won't work like that. There's also the matter that, no matter which language, both parties are presumably non-native-level in opposite languages which makes processing information and delivery harder.

I've been in Japan almost a decade now.
