I’m at my wits end trying to figure it out. I’ve tried pressing the button even more to fix the issue but even with that it’s still getting worse??
I don’t know what could possibly be causing this. The only thing I can think of is that women are getting too uppity on account of having too many rights. Sounds bad but I don’t know what else I could even try. I already tried pressing the button a bunch of times.
Fortunately, we’ve found someone to press the button even harder, and who hates women’s rights, and best of all, she is a woman so nobody gets to complain about it.
Oh I just realized I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Japan.
Other controversial trips include past visits to Yasukuni Shrine, a memorial to Japan’s war dead. The shrine is a thorny issue in Japan and abroad because it also enshrines World War II war criminals. I would be glad if all cabinet members would visit the shrine,” she has previously said.
In 2004, Takaichi wrote that textbooks exaggerated the Nanjing Massacre’s death toll beyond the population of Nanjing in December 1937.
In 1994, Takaichi was shown promoting a controversial book praising Adolf Hitler’s electoral talents. The book “Hitler’s Election Strategy” was published, which Takaichi later endorsed in 2014.
In 2014, Ms Takaichi was photographed with Kazunari Yamada, the leader of Japan’s neo-Nazi National Socialist Japanese Workers’ Party, in an image later posted on the group’s website.
In 2004, Takaichi wrote a column on her website regarding the Japanese history textbook controversies, defending comments that textbooks were “extremely self-deprecating” and should decrease usage of terms including “comfort women” and “forced labor”. She has resisted acknowledging Japanese wartime aggression and atrocities and denied that coercion was used against Korean laborers and women held as sexual slaves for Japanese troops. She was part of a campaign to remove references to wartime sexual slavery from school textbooks.
In December 2020, Takaichi stated that proposed legislation to recognize separate family names for married couples could “destroy the social structure based on family units”.
In 2022, Takaichi made remarks about the Yasukuni Shrine issue that were controversial in South Korea. She used derogatory language, saying continuing to visit the shrine would eventually make “neighbouring countries…look foolish and stop complaining”.
In September 2025, Takaichi was criticized for claiming that foreigners had kicked deer in Nara Park based on videos circulated on social media.
Ms Takaichi has previously said that increasing numbers of foreigners in Japan were “rattling nerves”.
In 2013, Sanae Takaichi, the then head of the LDP’s policy-research council, urged Shinzo Abe to reconsider past wartime apologies and expand Japan’s regional presence.
She supports the imperial family’s male-only succession, and opposes both same-sex marriage and amending the 19th-century law that requires married couples to have the same surname.
There was also a statement where she said that China is getting ahead now and getting smug and I forgot the rest I would be glad if all cabinet members would visit the shrine,” she has previously said.
Im mad that the internet both exposed to me to Japan but also ruined it for me. Japanese people are just as stupid as any other countries people. I miss when it was a mysterious near fictional place as i understood in my youth.
Takaichi, who says her hero is former British conservative leader Margaret Thatcher
She also wrote a positive review for a book in 1994 about election strategy that praises Hitler like a dozen times
This article is maybe one of the most condescending pieces of shit I’ve read in some time and I’ve barely gotten past the headline
Some highlights
But Takaichi’s victory is not necessarily a victory for women in general, critics say, especially after she secured it by forming an alliance with an Osaka-based party that will pull her coalition even further to the right.
Takaichi opposes same-sex marriage and favors keeping succession to men only in Japan’s shrinking imperial family. She also opposes changing the rules to make it easier for married women to keep their maiden names in Japan, where married couples are required to have the same surname.
A protege of assassinated former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, she advocates tougher immigration policies, the revision of Japan’s pacifist constitution and higher defense spending.
“I myself will throw out the term ‘work-life balance,’” Takaichi said. “I will work and work and work and work and work.”
Can’t imagine why she wouldn’t spark hope
maybe japan could start mass-kidnapping asian children who “look japanese enough” and raise them by the tens of thousands in state-run creches
maybe a bunch of those kids could end up still disenfranchised by wider Japanese society, despite being kidnapped and forcibly shoved into a Japanese identity, so either wind up working menial labor or forming the modern Yakuza
shit, did i make up something the japanese actually used to do? lemme guess, they did it to korean kids?
Yeah I thought you were referring to the Zainichi Koreans. A bunch of Korean kids were taken from their families, given new names and tossed into abusive education systems. Or just outright enslaved and made to work in mines or factories in the Japanese mainland. On top of that, when the allies in WW2 made Japan give Korea independence, the new government didn’t even give citizenship to the Zainichi Koreans living in Japan. So Japan just stranded this large group of people it kidnapped in the first place, wouldn’t let them have access to government healthcare, and forced them to register their identity with municipal governments and declare themselves as Koreans. Which wasn’t great for avoiding discrimination, since now their neighbors or coworkers knew they were Korean. So Koreans wound up with fewer job prospects, less access to healthcare, and discrimination in regards to housing. Fast forward to today and something between 10% to 30% of yakuza have Korean heritage, despite Koreans making up less than 1% of the Japanese population.
Japanese history is sad
i was just sort of attempting to do generic japanese vibes… making up something so dark it’s clearly not real.
uh.
holy shit that’s wild
i fucking hate japan
Whenever I’ve heard her mentioned in US media, they’re just gushing about the idpol of Takaichi’s election and anticipated cabinet with multiple women in it.
The propaganda I’ve seen is she’s a metal drummer that was in a band once
Lmao. I’ve never heard that. So into austerity she became crust for a bit 😂
wot if working long hours to pay rent…
in rent place?
and rent place can only be afforded by two people, with tax breaks if they are of different gender?
:extra-twisted:
and if they declare their romantic intentions in signed contract, they get extra-special tax breaks?
:mega-twisted:
legitimately, if you make it unaffordable to live on your own, shame people from living with family into adulthood (or make it legal for their family to mistreat them with impunity), ratchet homophobia to the highest levels, and ban birth control and even education about it while ramming “couplehood is salvation” down everyones’ throats with every media outlet, you are gonna get mixed gender couples shacking up to survive and procreating unintentionally.
“moved into together out of necessity and accidentally had a kid” is a real data point.
