It's interesting to see the generational differences. Because of the age structure of Japan, just looking at the entire population as a whole might not give you a good understanding when it comes to a topic like this. You need to dig deeper. But a lot of information about japan isn't translated into English. So if you want to learn Japanese with me, I will send you Japanese lessons where I teach you the kind of Japanese that real-life Japanese people speak. Click here and subscribe bit.ly/3q9N0rV

[@blasianking4827]

@@buahkelapaliar8829 Well, I can partially agree. Japanese people are generally non-confrontational, often choosing to say nothing rather than speak up about something which could potentially cause an argument. Whether or not that means they'd feign support or that they genuinely don't care (in the sense that same-sex people can marry) could be a point of contention, as both things can be attributed to a desire to avoid confrontation. I'd like to believe that Japanese people are more supportive of that, at least the younger ones (think about the diversity in manga/anime regarding sexualities, I don't think it's simply a kink), it's not a super prejudiced country (maybe somewhat ignorant/traditional in certain aspects but not outright hateful).

[@sakuram69]

This just makes me so happy. Like, really happy. I've always wanted to go to Japan once I learn the language but have always been afraid of negative reactions to my community in general. However, as many Japanese people don't openly discuss feelings or opinions in general outside of groups of friends, I felt I could perhaps adapt. That being said, needing to hide myself away and emotionally distance myself from others just to blend in would be incredibly lonely. It makes me very happy to see so many people embrace change and accepting that many people are just different in many ways. I try to see it from all sides as much as possible, but the positive reaction in this video is just very uplifting. Very awesome

"children are important" is this dude aware that some women aren't able to have kids? Like even if you're a woman who marries a man, having kids isn't exactly a requirement in marriage. Some people just don't like kids and others literally aren't able to get kids because of genes or other reasons.
