I want to ask you guys this:

Why does America have Outrage Culture and Japan doesn’t have Outrage Culture?

All I know is that Japan is a Ethnostate which explains why Japan doesn’t have Outrage Culture and why the Anime and Manga Industry are Durable and Resilient against Political Correctness although a woke Anime was developed and luckily it got cancelled.

Why? That is simple. Japan does not have America’s MSM.

Look, it’s not America itself, it’s the people running it and behind the scenes that has caused the outrage culture.

Japan’s leadership on the other hand respects their country, it’s traditions, it’s culture, and knows that it must do so with reason, logic, and common sense or it will cease to exist.

They kinda do a little bit, when an actor or actress is caught with illegal drugs their careers are pretty much over, it goes as far as their likenesses and voices in games get replaced. In the west it’s almost nomal that celebs do drugs.

In idol culture, an idol that is caught having a relationship is considered impure and will lose most support.

All that is of course a far cry from the western cancel culture.

“Outrage Culture” as we know it has always kinda been around for the last few decades, it’s just that social media has amplified their voices and given them power they didn’t have before.

People in the West are incredibly altruistic and self-sacrificing: We don’t care what we to do ourselves, but the moment some perceived injustice happens to a seeming underprivileged “outer” group, we lose our collective shit and do everything to fix it, even it comes at our detriment. We’re a highly moral and responsible people when it comes to others: We just don’t have any sense of morals or responsibility towards ourselves.

I think it’s a symptom of cultural malaise. People generally need some kind of greater purpose in life, something larger than themselves. But the West doesn’t really offer anything of the sort, it’s incredibly hyper-individualistic and some people can’t cope with that. They need to feel like they’re part of a group that’s working towards some larger goal, to elevate their own sense of self-worth. A lot of these “social justice” causes bear a lot in common with religion, only replacing God with government, as though government policy will just fix everything.

Three reasons:

i.) In Japan, being outrageous is generally seen as a sign of stupidity and a lack of etiquette. Since vast majority of people here want to “save face”, being outwardly angry tarnishes social reputation and charisma. However, Japanese people can and do get massively pissed off. It’s just not a common sight to behold.

ii.) When a big company, politician or an executive head fails the People big time, they would get on TV and make a big bow to the People as a form of formal apology. Even emperors and aristocrats would bow to the People if they failed expectations or screwed up commitments. Watching influential people making formal apologies and bowing to the public is a way to quell outrage from the People quite effectively.

iii.) Most Japanese people nowadays are….sigh… pussies… when it comes to confrontation. But sometimes this behavior of being a pussy also prevents major fights or dangerous conflicts. Sometimes it is a good thing when it comes to settle down disputes… but also a bad thing. Not particularly helpful when neighbours like Communist China bullies the Japanese government around. On the other hand, when Japanese people are too much fed up and can’t take shit no more… etiquette gets out of the way and they will be massively angry af.

Bonus:

Conservatives and Centrists in Japan are gradually becoming more outspoken in order to counteract the brouhaha from the ultra Left Wingers who are in turn manipulated by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party).

Conservatives and Centrists here are getting fed up of being censored by Lefties in league with the CCP, and are becoming disillusioned of local celebs here who are very, very ultra Liberal.

Times a changing.

When Outrage is put to good use against bullshittery, people are beginning to respect honesty the most.
