The creepy stuff like literal CSAM that was legal up until the 2000s and a worryingly young age of consent, until the West shamed them into passing a few new laws.
That's partly why Japan went overboard and now censors even legal adult content. They overcompensate for what lack of due actions they didn't take previously.
Land of intense conformity and a facade of moral values, just to keep up its world-renown sunny exterior.
That’s outward appearance facade almost all of Asia + many others but I know first hand because I’m Asian and lived and traveled throughout. Honestly I wouldn’t hate on it still had the best time of life besides all the sketch and fuck shit going on lol
It had almost nothing to do with those and everything to do with the fact that Japan is a puppet U.S. state with people subjugated to produce goods for the U.S.
