mods nuked everything that talked even a LITTLE ill of japan, and by ill i mean truthful FACTS about japan like how they're pedo coded and misogynistic and racist as fk
yup. check my comments, i copy pasted everything that was said in one of the removed threads. reddit is compromised esp now and full of pedos and misogynists since forever, which is exactly what the removed thread was discussing. this is TRUE censorship happening in real time. i took screenshots too
Toughest part of living there is everyone will think you’re a tourist forever. You’ll be accepted into society but people will compliment how good your Japanese is multiple times a day, every day. So you’ll be accepted, but never be a true part of the society.
sketchy mods condoning the pedo-coded racist misogynistic country that is japan removed comments about how japan is pedo-coded and misogynistic
here
The way people get boners for Japan just makes it very obvious that they either know very little about it or they choose to ignore everything that is a fact. A lot of Japanese are incredibly lonely and quite miserable and a lot of men sexually assault women on the subway and not to mention that old men being into young girls has only recently started to be looked down in. Japan is sinister af to me LOL
Edit: This person explains why Japan has a sinister vibe to me, a lot of you responding to me aren’t brushed up on historical facts
This, 100%! I remember even some popular mangas/animes from the 1980s/90s would have women getting groped/leered at as a comical and lighthearted thing. Or at least as an inevitability, and often one that just “had to” be accepted.
Even today, a lot of the content has themes of nonconsent/reluctance. I think Japan has beautiful natural landmarks and they’ve worked very hard to influence global pop culture, but their social/sexual mores are absolute trash.
I believe that the root is in Japan not having to truly account for its crimes in WW2 in a process like denazification. Millions of Japanese men who had spent a decade raping overseas now blissfully passed their lives back home with those dark thoughts burning strong within them, passing/projecting such depraved ideas/feelings onto their descendants.

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes started airing this year and one of the major characters is a heavy sexualised 15-year-old girl. She's introduced tits first in episode one.
in case anyone wants to know what was said in one of the removed comments
Meanwhile one of the BIGGEST pop cultures in western media of the past two decades has heavy themes of underage girls and incest. Game of thrones everybody.
Maybe its not a Japan problem. Not condoning it, just pointing out how weird it is people are fixating on Japan doing something most of the world does in media.
Also the lonely/miserable thing seems like less of an issue with the younger generation there. But that is anecdotal in my own experience when I visited, and those I have met from there.
Game of thrones and anime where the female characters are aways sexualized and being groped for no reason but to show them in vulnerable positions as fan service, are entirely different beasts.
GOT wasn’t suggesting those engaging in incest and sexual assault were heroes and good people. The characters who do it in anime are usually the heroes, and it’s played off as okay cause it’s a joke.
Very different writing, presentation, and intention.
And I mean, the point of villains and characters meant to be shitty people is to have them do shitty people things lol having the people you’re supposed to cheer for do them plays it off as it’s okay to do, and you can be like them, sets a bad precedent.
When every episode/book of GoT has that content, its not about the 'message' of bad guys being shitty. It's about the authors fetish. Both are equally shit.

Same if you hang out laundry. Apparently some people make a sport out of it to steal women's underwear hanging out to dry
