    IIRC the japanese government funded it so people would go “awww, let’s have a child” and increase the birth rates

    Or perhaps I bite the onion and fell for a ¿racist? shitpost

    It’s a good show regardless

          Eh I mean Japan is experiencing a huge decline in birthrate if I remember correctly, I think this kind of propaganda is completely harmless. Now if they were like “keep Japan Japanese and marry a Japanese wife/husband and have little Japanese babies” I’d agree with you.

            I think from most perspectives on the left it’s due to Japan trying to coerce more births but does not address how they do not have the societal or financial support structures for said births (i.e. the Japanese work cultural literally forces parents to work endlessly unable to see their kid). Think American latchkey kids of the 90s but even worse when Japanese people contemplate what having a kid would look like (also most are just burnt out millennials wanting to enjoy what little free time they have).

            No idea what’s their immigration policies

            Anyways, judging by all the “Tokio micro-apartments” youtube videos, if I wanted my population to increase I’d give them free decently-sized houses, that kind of stuff

              Japan’s immigration policies are horrendous. They happily accept whites, but treat any immigrants from neighboring countries like shit. That’s if you can get citizenship in the first place.

              There is an epidemic, for example, of children born to Japanese fathers and non-Japanese mothers who can’t get citizenship or child support because Japan doesn’t give these things by default:
