This is a fallacy I have discovered on my own, apologies if anyone else might have covered this in the past.

In Japan, male-on-female sexual assault became such a bad problem in its society that they instituted female-only subway cars and forced mobile phone manufacturers to add an audible shutter sound you cannot disable.

Many retards and cucks use this as supposed "evidence" that Japan is therefore a low-trust society where you are liable to be sexually assaulted, especially if you're a lone woman.

But the reality is likely this.

Until recently, Japan was a "proactive" society. That is to say, if a problem arises, it will be dealt with promptly and thoroughly to prevent it from happening again. Much of the world operated like this for a majority of the 20th Century; it's only since the 1970s many Western nations have done a u-turn on this way of thinking.

Japan didn't have a perv problem; a few pervs alarmed the Jap government who wanted to nip this sort of thing in the bud. So they did.

But the problem is, this is no longer the norm in much of the world. They let problems fester and be "part and parcel" of normal day-to-day life. So when they see another country that actually ACTS on their threats to society, they believe in the illusion that these crimes are an epidemic in countries such as Japan. Because that's the only way they have ever known, growing up in countries like the UK, USA, Canada, Sweden etc.

The only example of a proactive society I can earnestly name that exists today is El Salvador, maybe Singapore too given their stances towards hard drugs. Philippines under Duterte came close but the guy was a legit retard sometimes. Argentina is also close but Milei(kowsky) is likely compromised.
