Judging from platforms I've used with Japanese people on it, they do tend to imitate the West to some degree. The West have been trying to convert Japan for ages to be more like them and it's slowly working. I mean why the f**k was BLM even there two years ago? Why are so many Japanese artist interested in NRT/Cheating themes like White cuckolds are in the West? Where did they learn about all the QOS cult shit involving black men humiliating white people to the point where they are now drawing artwork of black males humiliating Japanese men while taking their women from them.Outcast9428 wrote: ↑February 8th, 2023, 5:25 amI probably won't read it because I don't have time to read an entire book just to win an internet argument. What I do know is that I've had arguments like this countless times because people are obsessed with trying to "own the weeb" whenever someone talks positively about Japan. I don't know if its jealousy of Japan's success, or the pathological and fundamentally liberal mindset that so many Americans on the internet have of trying to act like every country in the world is basically equal in terms of how good it is or desperately trying to act like the same stuff going on in one country is what's going on everywhere and aggressively attacking anybody who suggests that there is no international equality and that most countries are basically completely different worlds from one another and that this often has either very terrible results or very good ones.WanderingProtagonist wrote: ↑February 8th, 2023, 4:44 amI wouldn't read that book if I were you, that kind of stuff is going to let you down.Outcast9428 wrote: ↑February 8th, 2023, 4:40 am@WilliamSmith
Even if the out marriage rate is higher then other Asian ethnicities, the percentage of Japanese who left the country is still very small. There are only 1.4 million Japanese Americans in the US to begin with. That’s only 1% of the Japanese population. Not a particularly high number of people “fleeing the country to get a foreign husband.”
Your presentation of the 84% statistic was extremely dishonest. The study never said 84% of Japanese think adultery is healthy, it said 84% of women think their extramarital affairs are healthy. That’s extremely different because they are looking specifically at people who cheated on their partner and obviously people who are cheaters are going to try to justify themselves. Anyway the study you posted claimed 20% of Japanese people have cheated. That’s not a particularly high rate of adultery.
You are referring to a fascination with mixed race people, not an actual phenomenon of it being everywhere. The highest numbers they gave in your own article was 45,000 international marriages . That’s a pretty small number compared to even European countries these days and that number has dropped to 23,000. Keep in mind that a lot of “international marriages” in Japan are marriages between Japanese people and other Asian ethnicities.
I don’t have time to respond to the book for now, I may get to it later.
Better off avoiding it if you can help it.
But every time I've seen arguments made against Japan's society... I have found their arguments to be incredibly pathetic and dishonest. I've seen people trying to act like Japan has some kind of secret murder crisis that they are simply hiding and that they report their murders as suicides. I've heard claims that the amount of rape in Japan is being hidden to an extreme degree as well. If I were to sit here and give you every bullshit argument I've heard we'd be here all night, but one thing almost every argument against Japan seems to rely on is the premise that Japanese people are substantially more likely to lie about everything then everybody else on the planet is. As if everybody else on the planet is perfectly honest while the Japanese are all uniquely prone to lying.
And BLM being there just had no business there but they still existed there because the Japanese LET them in to protest. The Chinese wouldn't have put up with that shit, neither would North Korea. But Japan and South Korea both seem like the easiest countries for the West to convert if they wanted to since they are allies with the U.S. and any country that is allies with America, ends up eventually becoming America. IF there is a rape crises maybe it isn't being reported. They do often have a shit ton of scandels happening over there sometimes. Like that one guy who did Ronin kenshin, he had a lot of Child Porn on him and he got busted for it. The other guy behind Dead Or Alive, he was accused constantly of sexually harassing women. Then there were a lot of reports about the guys fondling women on trains, or taking upskirt photos of them with their phones. Desperate times create desperate situations.
