It's still ridiculous that they are portrayed as victims while Japan is portrayed as a "trap."
It's not like these men are refugees from Syria. They chose to come to Japan, they chose to stay, and the nature of Japanese society has never been a secret.
Most of their hardships are common sense. Surprise, surprise, career advancement in Japan often requires fluency in Japanese. And yes, supporting a family is generally pretty hard if you want to be a full time student.
A subset of foreigners in Japan make it their hobby to explain to why their lives are tough, but leave out the fact that they chose it.
