Japan has amazing resistance, but its also a collectivist, social shame heavy culture.
So while the rot takes a long time to get in, once its there its very easy for it to reach incredible distances and depths. The very things that made it so resistant to those influences will be worked against it now.
My issue with this is that to appease the Japanese crazy masking, US gaming tournament organizers keep forcing people to wear mask that are not Japanese.
Almost every fighting game tournament for the past year and a half STILL enforces mask wearing, where you can visibly see contestants having issues breathing while playing. Due to this cuckoldry, I have basically given up watching anything fighting game related.

Example: Social masking for COVID-19 even though that shit is in the past now.
At least in Japan, masking existed long before Covid and was already pretty much commonplace there.
They basically went from "if you are obviously sick wear it" to just everyone assuming they were sick.

So in a few years, this will be normalized and youll be shamed for not sending your kids to drag time. Pribably have to perform seppuku.
