Yeah...nah. Equivalents of honne and tataima exist in all honor/shame based cultures. In other words, literally every single culture in the world that isn't Western.

Guess what: besides the US, all Western cultures have low birth rates, and the grand majority of non-western cultures have high birth rates. Going by your logic, the West should re-introduce its original (pre-Enlightenment) equivalent of honne and tatemae.

What you need to realize when discussing Japanese culture is that, on a global scale, Japanese culture is very representative while Western culture is more or less a freak mutation.

If her parents have such an anti-sex stance how the hell was Anna born? Do people in this world not know what happens when you have repressed sexual desires? Take a look at India or any other 3rd world country, or hell, take a look at Private and Cathloic schools with just one gender? Those dudes and gals turn out to be the nastiest, dirtiest perverts you can imagin, especially the girls. They turn out being into things that not even Norwegian girls would do.

And it turns out it goes way deeper than her parents. The other politicians and such backing her moral crusade know its bullshit that will fuck people in the head, but they don't care because they're just using it to further their own Metal Gear tier eugenics conspiracy. They want to take advantage of the total ignorance it creates to convince people a disease is preventing natural births, forcing them to use artificial insemination facilities with genetic engineering tech, where they'll take the best genes and make designer ubermensch for the upper class while normal people only get average kids.

Basically. The big social commentary it's leading up to is how comically willing a poorly-informed populace is to sign away their freedoms, liberty and basic human rights in the name of a goal someone told them was good and they'd be wrong to disagree with.

Which is a message that's getting more and more relevant by the year. Between China introducing a literal Psychopass and American universities campaigning to repeal the 1st amendment, a series like this hits a little close to home.
>>
>>135226153
Probably.

>>135234132
Did American Universities actually campaign to get rid of the 1st amendment? Or is anon just fear mongering?
>>
>>135234338
Some comic pretended to have a petition to get rid of it and was at a university and got a bunch of students to sign it.
>>
>>135234338
Some university in Missouri has been protesting it and it's spread to a couple other campuses now. It's not a legitimate threat to your basic human rights, but it's at least a good example of how people still won't stop trying to take them from you.

The China thing is the one that should be scaring you. Look up Sesame Credit.
>>
>>135226073

That's kinda the point of the character.

No one in this universe gets sex education and she strives to be the purest of the pure so she's even less exposed.

She's not only massively repressed but she doesn't have a clue about her body or what shes feeling and just sees it as her pure feelings of love coming through.

She also tries to rape the Main character and mistakes a vibrator for a necklace.

Can't do a muhammed anime unless it went the artsy route and never pointed the camera at him. Pretty sure hiding him behind a censor bar still pisses them off because its technically depicting him.

More likely, there would be a few attempts to appeal to the migrants that flop because they just don't blow hundreds on BDs, the budgets steadily shrink with the otaku population, people start dropping out of the industry, studios switch entirely to flash/3D, and finally the medium dies with no one to pick up the torch.

Japan is special in this case though.
Their perceived isolationism, which is even more relevant due to being an island nation will take care of it.
Japan won't have a problem with Muslims. They do have a few but they aren't relevant and have already made negative headlines. Current happenings in the world will only harden this believe.

I mean, it is true and you should never be to optimistic but Japan will be fine. I'm certain.
>>
>>135245542
I'd agree with this sentiment. There's this sense of national pride when they say "99% of people in Japan are Japanese" or something like that.

With the internal pressure of population decline and the external pressure to give asylum to refugees, the Nippon government eventually caved in. They admitted a whopping eleven refugees.
>>
>>135245482
White people deserve this brand of pain though. They brought it upon themselves being all PC and giving into random protests by a couple of unfortunate negros.

Bullshit.
Everyone "cleans up" before hosting a big international event. Even people that invite someone into their own house clean their shit up. It is nothing unusual and it's not the first international event in Japan either.
If anything the recent Club World Cup's negative headlines will hopefully carry over and Japanese people get even more alienated.
