There's been huge backlash in Japan about this. Honestly a lot of Japanese are losing faith in anime and manga because of all this . The back lash was enough to make the current Dwango president (subsidiary of KADOKAWA) Kurita make a damage control statement about it" Japanese need more overseas support though to fight against Global Technocracy trying to take over anime and manga. Share, email , tweet etc. etc.

Japanese people don't give a shit about gaijin.
considering the original thing was about "censoring for global standards" i think it would be important for gaijin to make noise that those so called "global standards" are shit
Exactly, It's along the same type of justification sjw's and activist groups use so they can dismiss complaints about their actions. By claiming to work on behalf of another group they then shield themselves while using said group as a cudgel to counter attack with minimal effort (also re-focus the argument too), usually said attack is a character assassination. It's also why the best people to refute their arguments are the people they claim to represent, even a weak debater could reveal ulterior motives this way as it put's the other on the defense by default an example is gamergate op not your shield.
Maybe Best Guy Ever could pick it up.
Don't be so sure.
In 2015 they looked impervious to feminism. Now, it's blatantly clear that feminism is making inroads into their institutions.
They are not impervious.
Weebs got too cocky thinking Japan would never be politically correct.
I hope it stays that way. But they sacked some Olympic guy who said some holocaust joke.
No, the only thing he said was that women talk too much during meetings.
That's different. I am talking about this one here -

"The Tokyo Olympics have been positioned as a chance to drive change in Japanese society and embrace diversity. Imoto said she hoped Japanese media and sports officials would talk after the Games “about the standards of portrayal.”
SHE... SHE hopes. Hmmm where is Impossible on this.
Some possible benefit from foreign travel limited during the Olympics is that it probably stalled the local censorship that was happening otherwise (to appease foreigners)
Front holes ruin everything.
The Japanese once bankrupted a company for making a VN where the main heroine once had sex before meeting you. The backlash was that severe for violating a norm so enshrined, that would be a complete nothingburger elsewhere.
They know how to make their consumer power known, and its what keeps me from completely giving up hope on them.
This are great news!
I'm OotL. What is going on?
President of Kadokawa(one of the biggest manga publishing companies) reportedly states that freedom of expression in manga should be restricted ( to appease Apple and Google) which is always bad, and thankfully there was huge backlash against it.
