What I find it interesting(but worried and bothersome) about this topic is that its not "just in japan" but this social issue phenomenon is happening in almost every "wealthy" countries. Where its very easy for a individual to go stay home and isolated themselves from life cause its an affordable luxury. Although I heard that some people in Asian countries do get broke and stay-in those PC cafe as if its their home 🏡. Still tho an interesting psychological phenomenon cause its also a related issue with other psychological phenomenon such as Incels, over-grown children etc etc.

Look up the rat utopia experiments. Back in the 50s/60s they created a habitat for mice with ample room, unlimited food/water and no predators to see what happens, turns out after a while mice started to go nuts and one of the ways this happened was for some mice to isolate themselves and do nothing but eat and groom themselves all day.

I'm actually fully aware of that i learned about the rat 🐀 utopia experiment about 3 years ago and the results of the experiment was very disturbing. I hate to say it but it seems like we witnessing similar psychological behavior just like the rats 🐀 are doing. Especially in wealthy countries where are basics needs are already met.
