[@ppenmudera4687]

Graduate of Japanstudies here - the problem in Japan (and East Asia in general) is the toxic work culture that places one's company/job above everything else, even family. Young people don't have the time nor energy to make babies because if you don't voluntarily overwork every day and if you take any days off, you'll pretty much be guaranteed to miss any promotions. This means that men work ungodly long days, come back home exhausted, and wake up very early to do it all over again. Every day, every week, every year. In short, Late Capitalism is just doing its thing - destroying everything it touches, and the politicians know EXACTLY why Japanese people aren't having children, but profit > people so it's easier to just get angry at the younger generations and beat around the bush...

[@BlueTressym]

...and blame women for the fact that men are being overworked because of the stereotyping of women in Japan (and elsewhere) as DEMANDING men work themselves to death to fund the woman's lifestyle. If that wasn't the case, I doubt the proposed 'solution' would be so violently misogynistic. They're not blaming the exhausted men who come home from work too shattered to even contemplate adult fun times for the lack of babies because they know damn well you're right. They're effectively claiming women must suffer to save the nation, with the implication that women caused the problem rather than admit the real issue is corporate culture. Don't get me wrong, I agree 100% with everything you're saying but the problems with systemic and cultural misogyny are a significant factor in this as well.

[@diamondmx3076]

Isn't there a really strong push for a 4-day work week there right now to combat this problem (as it's affecting the birth rate)? It would be nice if we got a whole country doing it, might start spreading to other places. Of course, the US will be dead last as always for any kind of worker rights.

Literally. It would be far too expensive, too risky, and consume far too many resources and man hours. There have been cases where a mother in a coma has successfully carried a baby, but if I remember correctly, they were cases where she was already pregnant when she fell ill, and the baby was close enough to the delivery date that it could be viable to remove it early. One of the most upsetting things about this topic, though, is that it often takes bringing up the logistic problems with the concept before people will accept that they probably shouldn't impregnate brain dead women after all. Like, violating a woman's dead body is "for the greater good", so that makes up for the staggering nightmare that's inherently based on sexism.

​@@HazooTooI haven't heard what this is referring to yet but this reminds me of a story a few years back. IIrc it was a woman pregnant with twins that got sick or had some sort of accident that left her braindead and in a coma. The husband and parents kept her alive until the babies were viable and I remember everyone talking about it like it was the most wonderful thing possible. I was a teenager I believe and it gave me the biggest ick and shivers, because they literally turned her into an incubator. I can understand that perhaps this would've been her wish but there was absolutely no sort or will/testament and what if people just start doing it to women that wouldn't actually be ok with that. It just felt incredibly wrong and dystopian when I saw how positively everyone portrayed it.

Women were almost exclusively talking about feeling SAFE. Just being able to take a walk alone at night. Sleeping with a window open. Going camping. Wearing what they want to a party.

Cats are a great way to see how people are with boundaries. Cats have boundaries and are NOT shy about letting you know when they're crossed.

If only the litter box emptied itself as well as this trash took itself out.

Exactly, you put it better than I did in another comment. I basically said, in general, no matter what you do, dogs are submissive but cats require consent, so I can't trust anyone not allergic that says they hate cats.

[@yba_xoxo]

TLDR; cats are a good example of understanding how trust, boundaries and relationships work. normally, if someone doesn't like cats, then i find it hard to trust them understanding this stuff. there are three things that i think some people don't care about that i wanna discuss in the context of cats; trust, boundaries and relationships. most cats will be more open as they start to trust you. like, no cat is going to be happy if some stranger comes up to them and puts their hands on them, but if you can gain their trust that you're not planning on manhandling them, they'll more than likely happily let you give them pets. it's about boundaries and trust. cats will often have different boundaries based on how much they trust you, just like people. they also probably don't realise the normal thing that not every cat wants to be petted. if it doesn't want to do smth, it has it's reason and most respectable people will understand that and not push. for example, my cat i had growing up let me use him as a pillow (he was born like a year before i was, so he was basically my older brother of sorts when i grew up). most cat's probably wouldn't like that, but he was happy to let me because of the relationship we had and the fact that it didn't make him uncomfortable. and that's another thing, what someone is comfortable with tends to also vary based on the relationship you have with someone. Click mentioned this in the vid, but a friend is more comfortable with being asked if they wanna hang out than someone you've only seen in passing or know the existence of. same can be said about hugs, compliments, etc. obviously, if someone has some sort of trauma from a cat, i won't hold that against them, but if someone hates cats because the cat always runs when they randomly try to pet it or something like that, it's a clear sign of not understanding these fairly basic things. anyway, rant over, hope everyone has a nice day/night ((:

19:00 There is a story similar to this in the vet field. A couple brought in their 4 year old 170lb leonberger to a veterinarian in Texas, Dr. Millard "Lou" Tierce III and his business, Camp Bowie Animal Clinic. The veterinarian took the dog in but told the family after the visit their their dog is grievously ill and had to be put down. He was caught 11 months later as the owners were informed by a worker at the clinic that the dog was still alive and kept in unsanitary conditions. The leonberger, Sid, was cruelly kenneled, saw no exercise, and was used for multiple blood donations. This dog was one of five cases this veterinarian held illegally for forced blood donations.

The goal? So she can pump out babies and fix Japan's birth rate problem. And it's implied this is a business organization of many fairies doing the same thing to poor young girls and guys all over Japan. One of the guys in question isn't interested in romance either, and in fact has PTSD from being stalked by a crazy person - and the two develop a sibling-type relationship.

18:20 Not just the money! One of my ancestors was an old widow in Salem who basically owned her own house and land along with her son, who lived elsewhere. Someone in Salem accused her of being a witch, used how she shouted at nothing at night as an example of proof (she likely had what we now know as dementia). He wanted to try to free up the land and house by having her killed so he could take it over. He was pissed that an old woman, especially for that time, owned a better house and land than he did, seemingly without any man. I dont remember the details of her trial that my mom found but she was thankfully found not guilty. I believe her son had to rush to the court and plead for his mother and show he was the one who technically owned everything and that he would stay with her from now on to care for her. She had been taking care of herself alright until then but he seemed to see she was quite ill. She died not terribly long after the trial, a few years maybe, likely due to the progression of dementia.

Every country is struggling with lower birth rates because the costs of living in every country has gone up. If governments really want to "fix" the problems, maybe they should start looking at the companies who are working their population to the point of exhaustion but NOT paying them their worth and other companies & individuals charging ridiculous amounts of money for basic living necessities. Hmmm??? It's not that people don't want kids. It's that they cannot afford to have them. A country like Japan expects their employees to work eat & breathe work. How are you meant to make children when you're always at work? Or exhausted from work? Do you even get paid overtime in Japan? Or is it just expected that you stay until the manager leaves?

[@alexanderflack566]

Japan actually has a significantly better pay ratio than the US does (not that this is saying much). The problem in the US is largely money, with CEOs and other executives being massively overpaid relative to the average employee and especially the employees at the bottom, but in Japan as I recall the issue is lack of work/personal life balance. If you spend just about every waking hour at the office, you won't be doing much dating or having much sex.

not to mention that comatose people are often on several supporting medications to stay alive, and suffer from several severe risks from this situation. A coma is not like a deep sleep. It is a medical crisis for the body. Even just keeping a pregnant body alive, of a person that had a brain injury or massive stroke for just a few weeks to allow the lungs of the fetus to mature under special medication befor delivery via c-section is a real challenge and doesn't allways work out. Additionally: intensive care for a comatose person, a pregnant one none the less, is insanely expensive. It is a lot more efficient to allow surrogacy and pay women to be pregnant. Maybe that politician should have suggested that approach, befor suggesting what is not only medically not really possible, highly unethical, and something out of horror movies.

The whole thing about if you go through weight gain or skin issues, etc is so so true. I had a really bad skin infection that affected my face in my early 20's, and the amount of people that treated me like I was gross or a drug addict or something brought me to literal tears many times. Now 10 years later, those issues have past. But the difference in how I am treated by both random strangers and just co-workers now is astounding.

6:10 So for those wondering what the 4N-movement is, I googled it. It's related to the feminist 4B-movement in South Korea (this one has a wikipedia article, probably arose because of the amount of misogyny that was uncovered in the news lately, including girls of 12 being used to make AI-porn. This movement is translated to the 4N-movement (see Wikipedia page why the original has B's instead of N's), but at the same time there is apparently also a 4N-movement that is anti-feminist. I could only find 1 Reddit post about it though, with the majority of the results referring to a western translation of the 4B-movement instead.

Honestly, I'm scared for any woman living in any Asian country right now. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Japanese government recently consider the idea of putting higher taxes or something on anyone who doesn't have kids as a ploy to try to make younger people feel pressured to start spitting out babies?

[@picklearts2678]

​​@@EagleTimberWolf i think so. it's so painfully obvious that the main issue at play is a lack of work/life balance, yet incel governments think all women are just bitter cat hags. anyway rant over

I love how they think pooping out babies is the end of the battle, instead of the beginning of the war. Like, do they forget that 18+ years of raising is required?!?

[@Miciggy24]

What I want to know about that policy where the Japanese are trying to fix their population decline by banning women getting married after 25 and sterilizing them after 30, would the men face any punishments if they don't get married and start families young? It sounds like people could take advantage of that rule if it were to ever go into place and you'd see a lot Japanese couples have large age gaps between the husbands and the wives.

[@Alex-eg8qr]

12:40 i just wanna point out as an alloaro person, ace people still DO experience romantic attraction, and even though aro people(like me) dont experience romantic attraction, we still can have romantic relationships! personally i dont want one lol, but still wanted to correct a lil misconception

[@SingingSealRiana]

[@dutches_s]

Was looking for a comment like this to gently correct Click! I’m ace and arospec, but I DO want a relationship, because even though I feel no sexual attraction and don’t understand how to feel proper romantic attraction, I still yearn for the companionship and physical affection, (I think the proper term for it is cupioromantic or smth). It’s odd because it’s like wanting the same thing as most people, but seeing and feeling it in a different way and lacking what people see as healthy romantic attraction

Funny coincidence- i actually DO go back to the boss's house after i work on excel spreadsheets and nanny their kids. The reason is that i STARTED as their nanny/babysitter, then as their kids have gone to school i now need a consistent job and they liked me so much they hired me at their office. Guarantees they have a nanny at home as well as an assistant/office worker/data entry worker at their job. If their kids have off school i go there instead of the office. It's the first job ive really loved (ive had like 10 jobs, most not for more than a year because i moved)

The picture you choose for your phones wallpaper is called a WALLPAPER, not a screensaver. Screensavers, by large, are not used anymore and were merely meant to prevent burn-in of pixels by changing their color periodically. Remember 3D pipes for windows? THAT is a screensaver. Moodeng screaming as your wallpaper is your wallpaper. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

[@akiramakara2062]

Real talk, I had no idea that's what they did 😭🤣

[@dirtydoge756]

@akiramakara2062 yep, they're actually coming back and becoming kind of a necessity with the emergence of OLED panels becoming the mainstream. OLED is more susceptible to image burn in than traditional LED backlit panels. Screensavers change the colors of the pixels periodically to prevent static images from "burning in" to the screen.

[@BlueTressym]

@@dirtydoge756 I have my wallpaper as a slideshow, which I'm guessing would help with that too?

[@dirtydoge756]

@BlueTressym yep, anything that regularly changes your pixels color will help prevent burn-in. I used to have Google maps on my phone for several hours at a time, nearly every day, for months on end, and after a while you could see a faint outline of Google maps burned into my screen, that was on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G back in 2019/early 2020.

[@stephaniethebatter7975]

@@dirtydoge756 My current laptop has an LCD screen and I still use screensavers because it suffers from a more short-term version of burn-in known as image persistence.

I love that Click has a full cast of characters for his videos now. I love seeing how many characters he can come up with. 32:37 one thing that I heard about cats it's that they teach you about *consent.* And it is true, seeing that my cat absolutely despises being carried when she doesn't want to be carried, but is gentle enough she won't bite or scratch, just slither out of your arms. Soooo maybe the issue here isn't the cats, it's the guy not knowing how consent works.

[@killer_rabbit42]

I've heard this too. Most cats have boundaries & people who don't like accepting other's boundaries might not like cats. Dogs tend to give love unconditionally whenever you want it, whereas you usually have to earn a cat's trust & love on their terms

[@oliviasignore8188]

Regarding the post at about 36:00, I had a breast reduction at 16. I was super overdeveloped for my age and one of my breasts was like two full cup sizes bigger than the other. I of course had to get the consent of my parents for the surgery because I was a minor, but my doctors (both my primary care physician and my surgeon) made it absolutely clear that it was my decision, not theirs. They also went out of their way to write to the insurance company when they almost refused to pay for the surgery since I was a minor and it was technically a cosmetic surgery, and because of their letters, the insurance company made a deal with them. They said they had to take a certain amount of flesh off of me (1 pound total I think?). They took FOUR POUNDS off of my chest and (maybe TMI?) had to take my nipples physically off my body to reattach them in a completely different spot, because where they formerly were is where the bottom of my breasts now meet my chest. If this had been a thing, and I'd have needed paternal or spousal permission to get my surgery done, I might not be here today. That surgery improved my self image so much that I have never been more confident and happy with the way I look, and I was able to start expressing myself more through clothing and my appearance. Before I had only worn baggy shirts and hid away from others, especially in the locker rooms and stuff at school. My image of myself was so poor I was close to doing the Game Over. I am so glad that paternal/spousal permission was not a thing that was needed, because in my case, it literally saved my life, and now I wear my scars (which are almost completely faded now) just as proudly as a peacock.

I one time saw a vid of a guy having period cramps simulated on him for a video my guy was swearing and crying on the lowest setting meanwhile I was experiencing a 10 when I still had a uterus

[@tobiasbayer4866]

Might be misinformation, but dont men and women have different pain tolerances? I heard men can handle shorter more intense pain better whereas women deal better with pain over a prolonged period of time.

[@yuuriahl]

@ I don’t think so? Maybe as an “in general” thing but I think it’s more that women/afabs are forced to experience more prolonged pain thanks to periods so they just get used to it and learn to tolerate it better

[@joparkin6960]

I saw some Irish people try a period simulator and one guy got to the top level saying that, whilst he didn't like it, he could cope. Then the woman with him reminded him that, if this was real life, he'd now have to stand up and go about his normal day. The look on his face was priceless. 😂

[@yuuriahl]

@ that’s hilarious omg XDDD

[@waffles3629]

Yep. I had someone tell me they tried a TENS period cramp simulator and almost threw up at 3 from the pain (I don't remember the context of how this conversation came about, except that it was relevant to what we'd been talking about, and he was someone I knew). I proceeded to unclip my TENS unit from under my shirt (he didn't know I was wearing one when he said it) and just hand it to him. After a few moments of utter confusion from not understanding what I had handed him or why, he figured out what it was, and his jaw hit the floor when he saw it was set to 7. After gaping at me like a fish outta water for a solid 30 seconds, he asked me how I could stand the pain at that level. He was VERY confused, which quickly turned to concern, when I said "Pain? This is just a pleasant distraction from the pain". Yeah, hysterectomy recovery was about as painful as a mild period. That's a problem. Fast forward a few months and I came across him yelling at some man for mocking a woman "for believing period cramps are real".

[@shelleykoone2987]

Some "pick-up" lines are creepy even if you like a person. Like I was interested until you said that.

[@EagleTimberWolf]

People going out of their way to be attractive always achieves the exact opposite result without fail. Sometimes I wonder if this might be where the BS notion of "consent isn't sexy" at least partially came from - like, dude, it's not that consent "isn't sexy", it's that your partner made an ass of themselves in the bedroom and for some reason you blamed it on the consent factor instead of on them being a try-hard lol

[@natashaunfiltered]

I have a dog, not a cat. He is not a substitute for not having children (though he can be just as bad as a damn child some days). He is more of a companion and protector and also the unofficial service dog I need as it's been hard to find a program that'll fund the expensive prices of one. He gives me the stimulus I need to properly (and more quickly/effectively) come out of a seizure.

[@witchytaedragon]

18:57 This reminds me of that story of a woman ending up pregnant in a coma because apparently a nurse (repeatedly) assaulted her. No one even knew she was pregnant until she went into labor. Delivered a healthy baby boy while still in a vegetative state. Luckily the perpetrator was caught, he pleaded guilty (on both s3xual assault and vulnerable adult abuse charges), and got the maximum sentence (which unfortunately was only 10 years but it was better than him not getting sentenced at all)
