Fascism explained beautifully clear. It's transcultural, now I can figure...

I'm not qualified to comment from a political standpoint, but from the outside looking in, this attitude doesn't really shock me. Retaining status quo/perceived "normalcy" is embedded into many facets of Japanese society (culture in this case) under the guise that it retains/promotes productivity, hinders crime, etc. Fortunately, as the rest of Western society has rapidly embraced LGBT rights & anti-discrimination policies, I think Japan will ironically "fall in line" as the voices there become louder and more voluminous.

It's crazy how if you turn back to the early/mid-2000's in the U.S (and elsewhere), this conversation wouldn't have garnered nearly as much attention as it does now (just from the contents alone.) (for social media being a double-edged sword, this is one of the positives)
