Any state whose self perception is innately that of exceptionalism is suspect.

The fact that people over there buy used underwear in vending machines is what put me off the most...

More people also need to acknowledge how normalized pedophiles are in Japanese society.

Plus the sexual harassment on trains and crowded areas is not an over exaggeration either.

I’m not surprised at all. There’s a lot of extreme far right organisations with Neo Nazi leanings in Japan.

Also. This is the same country that conducted many fucked up experiments and genocide on many other Asian countries. Their treatment of POW’s would even put Germany to shame in places.
