I'm SOOOOOOOOOO tired of seeing all the nonstop negative weird misconception and prejudice against Japan on social media. Does anyone agree?
Whenever Japan gets mentioned on social media, the coment section is almost always filled with grossly exaggerated, outdated, or just completely made up bullshit about Japan like below.
"Japanese people work 12 hours on average, sleep at the company, forced to attend drinking party, can't leave office until your boss leave, zero freetime left for hobbies and it's considered completely normal"（outdated and grossly exaggerated misconception about working culture）
"Japanese people are just robots with no emotion"
"Japan's birth rate is low because japanese people are lonely overworked racist misogynistic suicidal weird perverts" （and when the topic is low birth rate in other countries it's just because of economy or something. They never say the same to other countries including the countries with lower birth rate than Japan, such as Italy, Spain, Chile, Thailand）
"used panty vending machines are everywhere in Japan"
"Japan's age of concent is 13 years old"
"Japan has extraordinarily high suicide rate"（and never say the same to countries with higher suicide rates like the US, France, Belgium or Thailand）
"Japan has uniquely high underreported rate of sexual crimes, it's worst hellhole when it comes to sexual assaults" （Japan has certainly low underreported rate of sexual crime（10〜30%） but it's the same almost everywhere in the world. （28% in the US and only 5.8% in Canada）It's not unique to Japan）
"cheating is considered completely normal in Japan"
"Japan has extraordinarily high conviction rate"
It's so weird and tiresome. I really hate how people talk about Japan like that
