"Western countries are kind of a shithole compared to Japan." What about all of their societal problems? - Extreme loneliness and isolation. Hikikokormi cases

"Western countries are kind of a shithole compared to Japan." What about all of their societal problems? - Extreme loneliness and isolation. Hikikokormi cases are on the rise. - Lack of sex to the point to be considered a sexless society with one of the highest virginity rate and oldest age for loosing virginity. - Extremely old population with an inverted social pyramid making it a huge burden to the young population and a huge problem for the country overall. - High depression and suicide rates. - Lack of affection between the parents and their kids, the father is never around because he is always working and kids are basically raised by their mother. - Overworked workforce with low yield and productivity. I don't know where you live but here in Munich we don't have a lot of "filth", crime or misery.

People need to stop using things the read in things like anime or 4chan as if it's the case. For example, japan literally has one of the higher birth rates in east asia[0], above china and taiwan, but no one talks about the "sexless chinese society" because the media narrative for decades has been that china is overpopulated. Just a note, Japan's birth rate is 1.34, while Germany's is...1.53. A whopping 0.2 humans more. In fact, it was in line with Japan's until 2010 (and the influx of migrants I assume), and no one is talking about the sexless German society, because people are slow to let go of stereotypes and tropes they have about nations, many of them completely separate from data.

  There are plenty and I mean plenty of sources that refer to Japan as a sexless nation: https://minajp.com/sexless-japan-703 https://minajp.com/sexless-japan-703 https://toyokeizai.net/articles/-/56360 https://toyokeizai.net/articles/-/56360 https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2016/09/16/national/social-issues/sexless-japan-almost-half-young-men-women-virgins-survey/ https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2016/09/16/national/social... https://japantoday.com/category/features/kuchikomi/sexless-in-japan https://japantoday.com/category/features/kuchikomi/sexless-i... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/family-relationships/article/3112258/no-sex-no-marriage-why-japan-has-so-many-sex-free https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/family-relationships/article/... https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/there-any-truth-portrait-sexless-japan-1582495 https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/there-any-truth-portrait-sexless-j... https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2016/10/01/national/media-national/theres-nothing-weird-sexless-japan/ https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2016/10/01/national/media-... https://www.japanpowered.com/japan-culture/japan-the-sexless-society https://www.japanpowered.com/japan-culture/japan-the-sexless... And the list goes on and on. Also there is an important difference between being sexless and having low birth rate. It might not be obvious to you but one can have sex without having children. It seems to me that it’s you the one that sources their information from anime and/or 4chan.
