Of course if I don't immediately concur with these very poorly made points I must be a racist and a sexist too, right? Or some weeb lover of anime and cyberpunk as also mentioned. Sorry to disappoint. I am not at all opposed to such discussions when done in good faith by knowledgeable people. I am allergic to the phony critics who transparently play those cards to appoint themselves judge and jury. The baseless smug supriority is simply infuriating. As I pointed out in another comment it is akin to some fundy jihadi slagging off western countries for being godless sodomite infidels and hanging all of their societal challenges on not conforming to their particular world view on how the country should run. That is an altogether different thing from somebody with deep knowledge of the place ("I've been there" doesn't cut it) simply sharing their perspective as a nonvoter on its flaws. Who are you to tell people in other countries what they should or shouldn't do? You just know what is best for them eh?

No, but if you fly off the handle like this at a very mild comment then you may want to consider taking a step away from the computer and calming down. As someone is just scrolling the comments yours in this thread stick out as pretty unhinged.

  Perfectly calm thank you for your genuine concern. I don't think it is a mild comment at all and it is simply disappointing to see these things normalized on HN. Smacks of the pulpit.

Very genuinely, you seem to be opposed to mere mention of either. There was no good faith in your responses either. You accused people of positions they did not took. The jihady sodomite part sounds mostly like stream of insults. It is not even that you would claim racism or sexism in Japan does not exists. Or that you would claim them to be good things. You just demand that people don't talk about them.
