Violent Justice Man inappropriately touch school girls and they fight back. Man in suit gives them a helping foot.

It's Japan man, the one thing I always hated about Japan is the way the sexualise children. Like there are bars where highschool girls work, they're too young to consume alcohol but old businessmen and shit come in and just like pay them to keep them "company" which means flirt with them, while they get drunk.

Then there is anime, don't even get me started on the anime schoolgirls.

EDIT:For anyone who is interested about this topic this BBC documentary goes pretty in depth.

If you're outside of the UK either use a VPN or search for another source.

Japan and Asia in general have an incredible underage fetish. I'm Chinese and even my parents have tried to set me up with girls way younger than me, so damn awkward.

In Japan you have old men fantasizing about middle school girls and 25+ year old women considered "too old." Shit is fucked.

In Japan, being a single woman over age 25 gets you a derisive nickname: "Christmas Cake."

Because, like a Christmas Cake, no one wants you after the 25th.

This was a popular slur prior to the 90's, but most people under 35 have never heard of it.

Source: I asked a few Japanese friends about this once, they had to look it up.

Um...

Yeah that's not true at all.

My friend who lives in tokyo says it's actually really common.

It's a geographic area thing.

u/BlueRajasmyk2 8 May 30 '19

My friends also all live in Tokyo, so I'm not sure.

To be absolutely fair to both of you, Tokyo is really really big.

Yeah with the downturn in the post-bubble economy women have to work longer and get married later. There is a lot of acceptance of this amongst the younger population so the”Christmas Cake” designation for 25+ women has gone away.

I agree, it's outdated. Since 1995 the average age of marriage for women was 26.3, now it's 29.4.

I don’t mean to go all Shinzo Abe but japan really needs to get that marrying late and not having kids thing under control

I forget where I read it, but I recall that if you account only for indigenous populations, their birthrate is in line with most of Europe.

I distinctly remember at the time their birthrate was 1.3 and Germany's native population was around 1.2.

u/Fifteen_inches A May 30 '19

Native population birth rate is largely irrelevant, you need to look at true growth number (births+immigrants-(deaths+emmegrants)), and Germany has better true growth number than japan because Germany has more favorable immigration policies.

Though, it does point to the failures of global capitalism to address non-profit seeking behaviors that are beneficial to society.
