Japan is fantastic, but I think there are some absurdly rigid social standards that would keep me from spending long periods of time there. I think it's easy to downplay these standards if you're someone who is generally "average," but the socially conservative attitudes are somewhat offputting to a westerner like me. The attitudes towards things like LGBTQ rights and tattoos are a good example.
Collectivism can produce incredible things, but a dose of individualism wouldn't hurt either.

- Kaiyou 7y agoI'm pretty sure that there's a strong correlation with Japan's attitude and Japan being a fantastic place.
- homonculus1 7y ago>Japan being a fantastic place for a certain type of person There's a heavy implicit qualifier on that, which is what your parent commenter is trying to get across.
- Kaiyou 7y agoWell, sure. You can't please everyone. Just move to a country that is better suited for you, then.
