Last time I was in Japan I saw a poster from their communist party that had a fist in rainbow colors. I also saw a few instances of graffiti saying BLM. Was pretty cool.

Also I've met trans people in Japan, like a bunch. This is just anecdotal and vibes though. From what they tell me I got the idea that the average Japanese person is less queerphobic than the average American, but they've got really shit laws in Japan. Like surgery is required to legally change gender, and same-sex couples have basically no protections.

But I think the typical weeb chud's brain would overheat hearing about how there are pretty vibrant queer communities in Japan, and they often use English terminology to describe themselves. Last time I was there I learned the term ノンケ (nonke) means straight. It's a contraction of a phrase meaning like "doesn't feel like it."

Honestly, if I was Japanese. I'd be a little offended that they think we're all identical to dumb Americans on cultural issues.

Off topic, but which culture is to us what Japan is to the right? A western country that isn't terrible and maybe we can use as a shield to pretend that we're not woke in discussions. Ireland, perhaps?
