Japan was always LGBT friendly. Yaoi manga are common there. Shoujo ai as well.

@luxie8097 Japanese don't object against it though. And it's not like Japan is some holy place. They have slang for elementary school girls and they have junior idols of 10 year olds. Do you have kids? Would you be happy if your 10 year old could find legal employment as an ero model for adult men?

Best is if Japan isolate. Go back to pre-Meiji.

@davidmrenton Not all Japanese. They are lazy. Wealth has made them lazy. There is saying that tough times create tough men but good times make weak men. Japan now has to compete with others and they're not able to. They have to go back to mediocrity status. It will do them well. They were artificially inflated as No 3-4 economy, they should be No 15 or so.

@arielwollinger It's Japanese themselves making a mess. Remember they got rich and lazy.

@retroman3252 Japan's economy is weakening. I know this place is full of weebs but Japan was built by the US and at a time CHina, India, and others were weak. Now as there is competition from them and US hegemony wanes, Japan will become mediocre. It will humble them and make them be better human beings to be a poorer country.

@cariopuppetmaster It's pertinent. if we told Japanese to f-off in the 19th century they'd not have given us grief in the 20th.

@Mayhzon To be fair, if the UK did not want Muslims maybe they should not have colonised middle east countries or Pakistan/Afghanistan. France did the same with Algeria/Morocco.

@DedAlexFive My advice to you would be to not get triggered so much.

The West made Japan. Before Meiji, what was Japan? It was feudal and medieval.

@kingmaafa120 LGBT Have been around since forever. Gay sex was unbanned in Europe after WW1 in many countries.

@MidlifeCrisisJoe It's better to not watch so much YT then mate. It's also not good to simp for Japan so much. Japan is the China of the 80s. So many people lost their jobs because Japanese were cheaper human robots.

Japan benefits from neocon policies.

Conservative values... how many conservative countries have a family friendly value of 10 year old junior idols?

@kingmaafa120 Since you are a Japan resident, and I don't want to ask this my Japanese friends, why do Japanese pass laws against copying games (eg creating pokemon) - where a Jpn guy got jail but allow softcore CP? I'm sure you know what "junior idols" are. If you look on Amazon Jp or other Jp shopping sites you will find such picture books and DVDs. So how come they allow that and they get buttsore over some noisy tourists in Kyoto? Do they think it's OK to lewd real children? This question fascinates me because we don't see this in any other country, nobody else sells swimsuit magazines of 10 year olds. But Japan does. And Japanese people seem to be OK with it.

You watch too much anime

@davidmrenton David, you're looking at past history here. Japan had a niche. Japan was a primitive society until they started to copy the West. They had nothing of value so they were not simply taken over. Then through luck they partially modernised and then did some stupid things invaded China and Korea. Look at Japanese culture - Nanking was Japanese culture. The Americans then occupied them and rewrote everything for them and repurposed their established state. But everyone else was weak. Half of the world was under communism. Much of the world was not. Look how Japan was made. Japan was protected by the US as a bulwark against the communists (PRC and USSR). Same as West Germany. Markets were opened up to Japan and Germany. Both were protected. Both were allowed to and were guided along the Western capitalist way. The Japanese could not do this alone as they had their war of genocide. Do you know that Japan caused the PRC? Japan weakened the KMT so much that the Reds won in China. We have Japan to blame for the PRC. Anyway PRC now beats Japan in most industries. Look at PRC 20 years ago. They were nothing. Now they are second power in the world, and soon will be No 1. And other nations are also rising. Now Vietnam makes electric cars. Malaysia. Etc. When Japan was rising they were competing against whom? US and West Europe. They were cheaper workers than Europeans but they are not cheaper and better than mainland Asia. Look at the best computer money can buy these days. It's not a Sony Vaio. It's a Macbook. It's assembled in China. Yes US design but assembly quality is superior to Japanese and maybe even European. Japan now has to contend with others catching up. Japan can't compete as how do they compete against India or Indonesia? It's good that China is communist because if China was capitalist it would rule the world. Japan is on its way out. They have to, there is no other way, because the INDUSTRIAL genie is out of the box. The UK is also out. UK still makes money on finacial services but is declining too. The UK heyday is over. It will NEVER be as good and important as it was in the 1800-1930s.

@davidmrenton Dude, how old are you? I'm in my 40s. In the 80s all our kit was Dutch, German or Japanese. Now all our kit is Korean and less so Chinese. I can't even buy Japanese products anymore. My LG microwave is just as good as my 1980s National. My parents remember the days when Made in Japan meant GARBAGE. Later it was made in Taiwan and HK was garbage. When Japan started out they were the ONLY ASIAN country and were protected and built by the West. London gets a cut of financial transactions but UK was built on manufacturing. That is GONE forever. Why do you think the white man had an advantage over the yellow and black people? BECAUSE we had industrialisation. But NOW EVERYONE Has that. That genie is out of the box. Nigeria will take time to catch up. But they will and in some decades will be a powerhouse. They just need more time. But Japan? How. What can they offer? Look how ancient Chinese culture is. Indian culture. India gave China Buddhism. China gave Japan almost everything. The West gave the modern things. Dude the heyday of Japan, UK, even the US is over. The big reason is that industrialisation and tech is now available to everyone. The white man thought the Chinese were stupid. But Chinese now do better tech than the whites (us). Dude, look how China went from poverty to No 2 economy, how quickly.

@davidmrenton Japan has NO WW2 guilt. Japanese have less holidays but you can't work your way out of this. Chinese also have no holidays. They also work long shifts in the factory. And they are cheaper and better than Japanese workers. I don't like IQ measurements, but average IQ is higher in China than Japan. Dude, if China was capitalist, Japan would be their factory. I know you're smitten by the white faced painted geishas and the faux politeness of the people but don't let that make you not assess the world correctly and objectively. Being a weeb is OK but don't let it cloud your judgement. By the way, Americans also work long hours. But guess what, Germans work less than Japanese and I think this year have beaten them as No 3 economy. Working hard doesn't help when your potential is limited because you can't make the Vietnamese and Koreans forget how to build ships or electric cars. If they caught up this fast, imagine the next 20 years.

@HackersSun They're kind, respectful and clean? How are they those things? Maybe parts of it are cleaner than parts of NY, but respectful and kind? How do you measure respect and kindness? What units do you use? What methods? This is pure simping. Come on. I wasn't born yesterday.

@starscream007 Where did you see that? They aren't going to import Nigerians. Nigeria is far away, they may import Chinese or Filipinos or Vietnamese.

Just wait till when China asks for war reparations.

@kynchan3332 Non religious are usually left and hate Christians. They usually pretend to hate Jewish people and they support other religions. Right atheist is a rare thing and is usually someone like Sargon of Akkad - or Mr Applebee's - look up Mr Metokur take down of him.

@RmnGnzlz My comment was deleted. A conservative society would not permit children to be used this way, eg in "junior idol" swimsuit photo spreads as sold on Amazon Japan and other sites. Laws would be passed banning that. I'm sorry but Japan is not conservative if people tolerate others exploiting minors this way.
1
@LW1Tok You don't speak for America. Stats show that most Americans are OK with LGBT.

@kagetsuki23 You need to realise that while Japan had gay people having sex, in the UK, you would go to prison for gay sex. That's what happened to Turing, the guy who helped invent the computer. So obviously Japanese attitudes were far more tolerant. Maybe they are not as celebratory and affirming, because some Westerners are puritan and push morality hard and overcompensate but Japan did not outlaw sex between men.

@jamiefroud633 Thanks for that. Japan banned kiddie porn in 1999 and banned onwership in 2014. Amazon Japan would sell movies which were banned in the US/Europe eg Maladosecenza. When you say teen idol industry has been left alone, if you search junior idols on Amazon it's not teens in these magazins, it's preteens. It's 10 year olds. Thanks for your explanation. Now I suppose bad things may happen in Japanese schools and probably way worse things happen all over the world, but the crux is that usually those bad things are in resource poor settings, Japan is the No 3 or 4 RICHEST country in the world. Japanese are filthy rich even though they don't know it. They are educated, they have top universities, academics, etc. They have money for jurists, judges, prosecutors, etc. People are well read. The thing is that despite that people seem to draw morality with legality. But let's face it, most of us, don't need to know that molesting children is illegal for us not to do it. We're inclined not to do it. We are sickened by it and we feel compassion for a child who would face abuse. We also can't stand idly by seeing kids being openly exploited. What I don't get is why Japanese don't seem to feel this. People I know from various cultures would not tolerate child abuse even if the kids were not their own. But so many Japanese simply tolerate it. Scandals in idol agencies are one thing but the usual junior idol swimsuit stuff and these are 10 year olds does not seem to draw scandals. And people seem to be proud of their country that yes, Japan is known for cool tech products and tolerance of pedophilia. Which other culture has euphemisms for pedophiles (lolicons)? I don't want to be nasty but I would not let my underage child out be of my sight if visiting Japan.

For us Non-Americans, that guy is a typical Yank. You all are like him. That's so typical of the average Yank for us. Remember also that Japanese like Disneyland and McDonalds. They like lefty Americans.

@BradleySherlock-n4x He can go to Akihabara to watch junior idol concerts then.

No they don't. Japan gets a total pass on everything. In Europe we are forced to take migrants but Japan doesn't have to take anyone. Japan has rampant sexism. In Europe we are forced to accept gay marriage and so on, Japan doesn't have to. Japan can produce movies which are not racially diverse. Their games don't have to be racially diverse. In Europe The Witcher which is Slavic (white) had to be made mixed. Japan is definitely not targeted. Japan as ALL NON WHITES are exempt from anti-RACISM and pro-LGBT and pro-abortion. So please don't say Japan is some country which is targeted. It's not. Japanese have actually said F-YOU to Koreans and Chinese. For example they attack cities which create Comfort Women memorials. Imagine Germans stopping doing business with cities which have Holocaust memorials. Japan is protected.

@GhostSal You do know that Japan was violent and dangerous until it was defeated by the Americans? Defitely pre-Meiji times were very violent. Meiji times were also violent with banditry about and warlords still needing to be reigned in. Japanese crime had been dropping since the 1950s and it's thought that reliability of remuneration for work rendered seem to play an important part: An Economic Analysis of the Post World War II Decline in the Japanese Crime Rate David Merriman Journal of Quantitative Criminology Vol. 7, No. 1 (March 1991), pp. 19-39 (21 pages) Published By: Springer

@GhostSal That is racist. Because you claim Japanese ethno culture (mono race culture) is superior. So everyone else is inferior to them. This is classic racism. This Japan simping makes me sick.

@knossostellel-amarna8502 They pay their health care professional peanuts though. The doctor salaries in Japan are lower than in the UK. A friend of mine is a nurse in Japan and she earns peanuts compared to what people in the UK earn.

@DragoshZeroFTW They won't destroy it if they bring in weebs like the weebs on Youtube. So many international weebs will come, in more ways than one.

@SimonsRandomRants Nonsense. Killing a PM does nothing. How long is a PM's term? Not long.

@chrisx-vq4wo No. Japan has to obey the US of become China's vassal. They can operate with independence to some degree but after they got too successful - the way China is now - Reagan (US greatest president) forced them to open up and since then their economy has stagnated. Hey but under China they'd be a North Korea. So it's better under the US.
