This is why I always hated the idolatry and fetishism of Japan in the face of SocJus topics. Because 95% of that kind of talk was from people whose exposure is entirely based on media, the vast majority of which would be anime.
Japan isn't immune to this shit. And the narrative that it was ultimately just lead people to not pay attention to the creep that was inevitably happening, and then there's outright blatant censorship.
Well at least back then it was nationalist authoritarianism, and not controlled by internationalist forces and finance. (Also they were ruled by the military before not the Emperor. the Emperor worship was more cause he was considered a symbol of the country and connected to religion)
but now the military have lost their power and the country has become a vassal state and vulnerable to international forces and finance.
Not excusing Japan, because speech control is tyranny, but in context it's not surprising or strange for them. Most countries have some speech laws. By itself not a sign of globalism or wokism. But political correctness has been creeping in so don't expect them to stay based for long.
Wow. I thought Japan was based

Turns out the same people that worshiped an emperor 100 years ago will go along with totalitarian ideas.
