Where the nuance in viewing the entire country overall like European countries, U.S.A., U.K. commonwealth nations.
Japan is either paint in blindingly positive light where every mundane stuffs is overglorify, things that usually got clown on elsewhere (like relatively bland food) got special treatment to the point where the critiques themselves got clown on, and japan itself is somehow view as a country that live in 2,100.
Currently the opposite happen when people that's really annoyed of glazer become the insufferable 'experts in japan' themselves tarnish japan into S.H.&S.A. hell hole, soul sucking work culture, with their monogamous hegemony are built on multiple genocide and war crimes against chinese, korean, ainu, ryukuian, and seasian, while these are facts, they were generally presented in a non constructive criticism, and had been brought up more often than necessary. [Imagine when someone start a conversation with anything related to western countries in positive light, someone will immediately mention colonialism, slavery, natives genocide (ex. trail of tears, belgium congo, british raj, etc.)]
It's really scummy overall to treat an entire country in absolute black and white like this.
