The amount of fawning over Japan, EVEN HERE, is nauseating

    I think it's a complete lack of historical context among other things (media soft power, appeal to right wing westerners and men in particular). People have no idea just how evil Japan was during WW2, probably because they didn't do the unforgivable crime of killing white people and mainly killed Asians. And then the same people that did all these crimes and their descendants have basically run Japan since. Personally I think it's great when a Chinese streamer goes and pisses on the shrine to honor imperial war criminals and mass murderers

    I sometimes feel like I'm the only one alive (apart from Chinese nationalists) who despises the fascist historical revisionist country of Japan.

    I think people are also lowkey jaded. Like I live in soon fascist historical revisionist Germany that just supported a Genocide. Most of the ppl on here live in the USA (like wtf I can't even). So people are just used to ignore all the horror and enjoy what's still enjoyable. Not saying that its right, just saying its hard to live a different life while living in these garbage countries. The other batshit insane stuff like the growing transphobia leading to trans genocide comes on top of that. Ask me how my transition is going.
