I would never move to Japan, I admire them and their culture too much to wish to crowd them out of their country, to take away their people by dating/marrying them or to destroy their culture with my own baggage or culture. I do not want to see happen to them what happened to my country in the UK. Japan deserves a space to be Japanese, not westernising them.
- Machismo repeated this.

@sim
I suppose, Japanese people know better than non-Japanese what to do with their cultural identity. They might even leave it behind and become Western people.
So give all this "white savior" crap up to leftists, they're much better in claiming what is good for whom.

@sim hahahahahahahaha sim come on! They are dying out on their own just fine. Adult diaper sales exceeded infant diapers a few years ago and today Japan has the highest median age of 49. Can you imagine this shit? Half of all japanese are over 50 years old!

@sim We become shrine maidens. I'll wear the dress.

Question is, how can we admire Japanese culture without turning them into a commodity? Without wanting to turn them into westerners?

@sim it’s the curse of high taxes and living in cities. Because nobody wants to even have sex when living in a small box called an apartment and paying half of your income as taxes.
Japan isn’t even that dire yet. In South Korea, average fertility plummeted to less than 0.8. Meaning, an average woman won’t even have one child in her life.
Btw Japan imports plenty of immigrants from south-eastern Asia. You can find a 7-11 staffed with Filipinos in Tokyo without even trying.

@newt The curse of westernisation. In a few generations, even the native English will be a minority in their own country. I don't know what the solution is to change those numbers, to convince native people to have more children with each other. But I don't think it will be through global corporatism which afflicts both countries.

@sim CLOSE DOWN THE COUNTRY AGAIN
