Given the confluence of weeb culture and the alt-right (think incels and “traditionalists” with anime avatars, right-wing gamers pointing to Japan as a high-tech conservative utopia untouched by wokeness and such), it was inevitable that sooner or later someone would try to imagine a Japan that goes to Latin Mass.

Is that still a pervasive thought in today's culture about Japan? I understood back in the 90's when there was less exposure but I thought that reality kinda crumbled with the loss of high tech companies that actually give a damn anymore. I don't know of anyone that talks about "premier" Japan tech unless it's something from the past.

Japan tends to lurch forward, then be stagnant for large periods of time.

buddy people still think native americans are basically faeries, that india is a "spiritually advanced" culture where everyone does white suburban woman woo woo shit all day, that asians are superhuman genius ninjas, etc. the internet made it worse, not better.
