The faggot International organisations: "see how much support there is for gays in Japan! Soon they'll even love trans too!"
The Japanese people: "....where's my fucking rising sun flag and hurry up weaponizing the Gundam!"
I only partially joke as there was that anti immigration rally that had A LOT of imperial Japan flags. I think they actually run the risk of Japan going 'fuck it' at a population level as unlike Germany, they have NO GUILT of WW2 as they just don't acknowledge it (also helped that America paid them off and gave full amnesty for UNIT 731 research).
Combined with a more powerful South Korea in terms of weapon manufacturer and exports seeking more cooperation against North Korea and Chinese aggression, they could easily if push came to shove, isolate themselves to Asia alone.
Its not true that they don't have guilt over ww2 or that they don't acknowledge it. Its more that they don't agree with the specifics of it. . it would be more like if Germany claimed "no we didn't kill 6 million jews we only killed 2 million". Japan doesn't deny outright they just argue about the specifics but this is counted as "denying " to the woke.
It's a weird subject. The Japanese are scared of having their own army and navy because of what they became during world war II. They make sure to talk about that.
On the other hand, several of the Tigers don't talk about last century in their history books or classes because of how insane it got. China had children fighting with guns in the streets for mao, and Japan had the beheading competition.
Japan was ruled by their shogunate military class and bushido values for nearly a thousand years and now they are scared of having a military i WOULD consider that a rejection of what they should be
Oversimplification amd romanticization of the samurai class. The Edo period under Tokugawa was hundreds of years of relative peace after the unification, and the restoration of the empire in the meiji period saw the abolishment of the samurai class in the 19th century. Prior to Edo, they had a very brutal warring states era that devastated their country. The samurai were not the whole of japanese culture in that era, they were the tools of the feudal lords and were feared by the general populace.
