Japan Sucks

[Talmudic Ketamine]

Nuking Japan twice was a mistake. It should've been subjected to Soviet mass rapes instead. Maybe shota/lolishit wouldn't be a thing, or even manga/anime.

Rant on the glazing of Japanese women:

I will never understand how Japanese women are these top notch wife or girlfriend material, according to passport bros, weebs, and incels, never mind that Japan has the lowest birth rates and a loneliness problem similar to what have in the west. I get that Western women are horrible and all, but it's baffling how many men will hear about how great Japanese are and accept as if it's the truth, instead of putting on the critical thinking cap and ask themselves "if Japanese women make such great wives than how come Japanese men aren't wanting to date them?", there's probably a good reason, could it be that Japanese women have problems that repel the men in their own country?

Japanese women don't really deserve the glaze. For starters, Japanese women-along with other east Asian women-are notorious for being unfaithful. Not all but, many men-Japanese and foreign-who's dated or been married a Japanese woman can confirm this. Take this video as one example (guy catches his Japanese GF texting other men)

Big part of this is because cheating is very normalized in Japan, there's a huge culture around it. So much so, that prostitution isn't considered cheating.

Then of course we have myth of the "trad Japanese woman" which doesn't even exist. Sure a lot of them may be right leaning politically, but they aren't into staying at home and always cooking-their right wing politics is nationalism and nothing more. As well as the myth of "Based Japanese women aren't like woke Western women". No, Japanese women can have the same insane beliefs and negative traits that there Western counterparts have that make them undateble-which may explain why they aren't getting attention from men in their own country. Granted they're fewer open misandrists there but they still exist, they are toxic insane feminists over there-no doubt there's a Japanese equivalent to the 4b movement. Not to mention a lot of them are promiscuous, as if the cheating culture, didn't prove that enough.

Which makes the glaze of Japanese women from incels, hilarious. Basically this meme.

^Imagine being such a desperate loser, that you fly across the ocean to get away from hoes with high body counts, only to end up with a Japanese hoe with a 20+ body count.

There's also the weird, cringe stereotype/myth that's popular among the weebs and other incelly nerds, that Japanese women are more open to dating nerdy men (men with nerdy interests) because Japan is the origin of anime and many great video games, which hand in hand with the other myth that Japan is a nerd's paradise, as well as the myth that Japanese women are less hypergamous than American women. When in reality, the Japanese frown upon the nerds, especially the anime nerds for being such a embarrassment to their nation. Likewise, Japanese women are just as unlikely to date the anime nerd losers as the ones in the west. As for the ones who are crazy about anime, there's a good reason why Japanese men want nothing to do with them.

As said before Japan seems to be undergoing a similar toxicity/loneliness issue that America is dealing with.

The consensus from everyone that has actually been there, and is out of the honey moon phase, is that Japan is great to visit, but horrible to live, often bordering in nightmareish.

Unless you can work for an American company or you are rich already so you don’t need to work , then you might avoid most of the pain. But you still have to deal with the fact they are really hard to reach out, and they will never truly accept you. Even other Asians get discriminated.

What chances does a random white guy have?

I don't think you even need to live there in order to get out of the honeymoon phase, if you watch enough Japanese shit you eventually realize most of the "magic" of Japan is centered around being a teenager who grew up in Japan, and even then, it's obviously not the reality for most people who grew up there.

None of the things people are interested in were made for late 20's-30's white guys to dedicate their lives to.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

I think Japan has started really sucking since Reiwa began (that was just before the coof). There were issues before, but seems worse.

Also, I think the birthrate thing has roots in birth control after a population boom after WW2. The endless "lost decades" and economic issues since the '90s haven't helped.

God knows how many towns in Japan died thanks to the Bubble Economy bursting.

Not even that, being a teenager is hell unless you luck out in location, social status and sane parents that won't force you to go to cram school until late night. Japan being so atrocious place to live gave way to their media being extremely escapist which what attracted the global market to it.

Except now it's so bad that the main genre for the last decade+ is isekai which is literally "I want to die and be reborn in an European high trust society as the gigachad", unlike previous works that were at least set in Japan.

 

[Kitty Cat Man]

South Korea is even worse

SK actually adopted the same sort of hybridized Western/Chinese model of Urbanism that HK and Singapore adopted, and leaned more towards China and Singapore than HK in terms of regulation. So their houses are actually livable.
My biggest complaint about Japan, and I've spent a bunch of time there is that their housing is just absolute complete dogshit and their model of urbanism is hyper-dense NiggerHell.

They do not insulate their homes, so it's cold as fuck in the winter and hot in the summer. Any heating or AC just goes right out of whatever very porous structure you're living in. Their major cities are so dense that it's difficult to navigate on the street level weather you're walking or driving, and their public transit and commuter-heavy areas are bugman-tier of congested.

And yeah, on top of that all the glazing of their women is annoying since they're incredibly promiscuous and have a real cheating culture. The pedophilia is just part and parcel of being a gook - they're all like that, japs just wear it on their sleeve. Personally, I blame Ghengis Khan and Siddhartha Gautama for that shit.

They dont sell loli porn in corner stores in the US.

arianna grande was loli'd out in her 20s.

Oof, I was going to argue, but after thinking about it for a sec, you're totally right lmfao.

As much as I enjoy anime it's ironic noticing just how little of it is set/centered around living a Japanese life. Like you know shits cooked when you have multiple new series coming out with protagonists in their late 20's getting isekai'd.

Also some of the best anime like NGE, Devilman, and Patlabor is explicitly set in a fictionalized Neo-Fascist version of Japan that exists to form a thin-veil of critique of the domestic sociopolitical climate basically being Corporate Feudalism where everyone's escaping reality by gooning and romanticizing teenage life. This trope is basically what Naoki Urasawa's entire body of work is centered around and he's widely considered one of the best manga artists.

Sure a lot of them may be right leaning politically, but they aren't into staying at home and always cooking-their right wing politics is nationalism and nothing more

Also, a lot of the RW'ers in Japan are just fully psyopped into believing really dumb positions about race, foreigners, and globalism. parties like sanseito are basically super autistic about certain things, like reinstating the emperor or hard-banning fag marriage or doing some autistic alteration to some system that benefits the "yamato race" but they all have this concept of "we just need to bite the bullet and accept cheap labor bro"

So this just kinda leads to people having this idea that "well-behaved" foreigners are fine and it's only the "trouble-makers" that need to go, but it manifests as them getting seethingly mad at David-san for getting piss-drunk just like they do and puking on the train or yelling in the street or something, and ignoring half a million jeets and niggy-nogs who act servile for the first few generations before they're a visible percentage of the population and start feeling comfortable doing the Third World Mingle 'n Crime 'n Shieeeeeeet out on the street. In-turn this leads to weird racial hierarchies forming where indians are above chinese and koreans and blacks are above southeast and central asians.

The Uyoku/NatSoc's/Commies are at least consistent in just like hating everyone who isn't purebred japanese and wanting them /out/ but they aren't popular by any real metrics and are stuck in an infinite loop of calling each other secret koreans with the mission of making their glorious ideologies look bad.

 

[Fount of BadSpeak]

The hatred of Japan is always a cope from people to pretend their home nation isn't suffering from horrendous issues. I guarantee that almost every problem OP is pretending to be scandalized by is as bad, or worse, in their nation. The difference is, they ignore how bad their home is, and instead hyperfocus on a nation on the other side of the planet like a retard so they can cope about their failed state. A great example is the bitching about female only train cars, when I bet your home nation's rape rate is ten times that of Japan, except your nation doesn't care enough to protect women by isolating them from your nation full of rapists.

I'm not going to pretend that America doesn't have it's own issues, but Japan has a lot of issues more specific to Japan, like for example, the corporate slavery in Japan is way worse than it is in places like Europe or America.
In America you can pretty much be a fuck up loser your entire 20's and still land a decent respectable gig by 30. In Japan it seems like if you don't get into a good college, you're just fucked.

I'd say it's more just Japan being overly successful in their PR campaign to portray themselves as a utopian futuristic society and then westerners seeing that they're still basically on-par with other asian countries in terms of what's socially acceptable in the realms of sexual and moral behavior, race-relations, and aversion to change.

You hear about some epstein-tier grooming fuckery in k-pop and everyone goes "yep, sounds about right, fuckin' weird gooks"
You hear about "junior idols" or how popular lolicon is or women-train-cars or whatever and everyone goes "nooooo muh heckin' peaceful japs would never do that!"

 

[No-Eyed Square Guy]

A great example is the bitching about female only train cars,

A legit complaint about them is that they're a hangover from a prior generation's mass hysteria—and cause of its continuance. The phone camera noise thing, too.

There's not more public perv activity in Japan than anywhere else. (For example, you'll literally never see a bum terrorizing the train by jackin' it while everyone looks away, like fifty thousand niggers are doing in America right now. It will come to them with immigration, but not yet.) They just have a very intense attitude/mythology about it. Check out the "chikan" Wikipedia page, not because it's objective or very informative, but because it never ends.

People mistake Japan's being not entirely pozzed and not very enthusiastic about censorship—and less crazy than Korea—for its not being feminist. (I guess this is the "trad" fantasy complained about above, but I've never seen exactly that error.) It's a very feminist society, just not in exactly the familiar way. Core similarity: Women are favored citizens and they know it, and on average women consider men an inferior species, just like in the West.

The nearest white analog to Japan isn't past West—though there's much of that there, enough to make some feel more at home there than in our clownworld—but to present-day Scandinavia, which I don't think English speakers know much about either. It's great and terrible.

same with the lack of public trash cans. all from a terrorist attack almost three decades ago that didn't even involve any trash cans lol.

Place that gets romanticized actually isn't perfect and has lots of problems. Tune in later to find out whether fire burns.

Tokyo is probably the only major city in the First World that regularly votes right-wing.

Japan is a rarity.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

"I want to die and be reborn in an European high trust society as the gigachad"

Yep. There's isekai, with that recurrent theme of getting away from the modern world, especially Japan. Not good sign for life in 日本.

being a teenager is hell

There's also the high school entrance exams, and it's rather conformist. Sticking out or being a lone wolf may not be that cool there.

 

[We Are The Witches]

I unironically think Japan is autism: the country.

Wait. I don’t mean it in a meme, “Haha lol autism “ way. I am 100% serious. Japan is a country that genuinely seems to be catered to autism, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they were the majority. It’s a country that genuinely punishes neurotypical , aka, normal behavior.

Salary men and Exploitative work culture? This seems to exploit Autism’s love for routine.
A culture that discourages people interacting with strangers
A culture that promotes isolation. Austist are notoriously bad at social skills.
Way too many hobbies and places for people to isolate themselves
Discourages noisy people the same way autistic people hate noise.
Discourages standing out. Again guess who hates any kind of novelty.

It’s a culture that hates change of any kind. Guess who else hates change of any kind?: Autists

A lot of the weirdness, people isolating themselves and hoarding can easily be explained by people having special interests.

To be fair, I do think they do have plenty of normal people. But the whole country legit seems to cater to autistic traits over everyone else.

If it is the "country of autism", is only due to who it attracts, not who lives there. It caters to autists because capitalism, anime, the way they attract tourists with their fancy architecture, videogames, "colourful and cute" themes, it's like the east version of Disneyland, etc.

Their culture puts heavy emphasis on hierarchy, respect and tradition from what I've seen, which is different from what you attempt to categorize as signs of autism with your examples. The exploitative culture in regards to jobs has nothing to do with autists liking a routine, their culture doesn't discourage talking to others, but we can agree that they're more reserved in general. In fact, the cliché example are the host clubs they have there where they specifically work to provide company to others, which some may pay for, but certainly not due autism (if it was autism and extreme isolation, they would not bother with host clubs). The rest is basically due to their standards of respect and authority (like what you say about noises and standing out), completely different.

It is a good place for autists to visit, but that's about it. American culture is more autistic.

 

[Kitty Cat Man]

It did before it got oneshotted by hyper-consumerism and status-chasing. Now it's just hierarchy and rules(perversion of tradition imo). Respect and TRVE TRADITION went out the window sometime during the 90s, probably in-tandem with their system of multigenerational living falling apart due to jobs consolidating in their cities. Now they're super atomized and not exactly prioritizing respect in the context of interpersonal relationships, especially with strangers and society at-large.

It's not exactly autism-by-nature or "cultural autism" or whatever so much as it is atomization on a wide scale manifesting as behavior we westerners see as autistic. Japanese in smaller cities are still very sociable and not yet plagued by the litany of social ills affecting urban Japan, so it's really an issue of status-obsessed urbanites throwing decorum out the window because "fuck it my ancestors won't see it anyway lmao"

Corporate Feudalism

It's crazy how common it is in Asia, those corpos make the American equivalent look saintly in comparison, and at least from the media I watched, it seems that opinion about those soured greatly, especially now that they are probably worse to the economy due to regular monopoly behaviour.

Nope, lots of things in Japanese culture are built so people won't communicate:

You basically have to be in a social clique or a position of authority to initiate conversation.
