It is quite concerning. You can make jokes about it, but there's a lot of deep social issues that are coming to the surface. And it's frustrating because whenever you try and talk about it, out comes the, 'you just don't understand the Japanese,' or the Japanese culture. And you're like, 'science.' But....yeah. Don't live there anymore so the conversation never really comes up.
i hope the younger generation now will learn more about the impacts of that and they act on it.
They never do, but such is life.
