Well I'm pleased that things are finally starting to change in Japan even if things are going slow. Japan is a conformist society but still more forward-thinking than the likes of Korea and China which are just insane and arguably dystopian as hell.Outcast9428 wrote: ↑January 3rd, 2023, 12:30 pmThe information is accurate, it mentions that 37% of companies were not in compliance with the regulations. They’ve got a ways to go but they are making changes.
Well, I've never claimed that Latin American societies are some perfect utopias. I fully recognize that some parts are like the wild west. I love Latin America because I love the vivaciousness of the culture, the richness of the social life, the friendliness of the people, and the hot passionate women who drive me crazy. I'm not here on HappierAbroad to portray Latin America as some perfect society or "simp" for any race or nationality as you want to do with East Asians. I simply take Latin America for what it is and have no desire to sugarcoat anything.Outcast9428 wrote: ↑January 3rd, 2023, 12:30 pmI admit to being biased but you pretend you don’t have strong biases of your own. Mexico’s work culture is worse then any of the East Asian countries. Their average working hours are 2,255 hours per year which is worse then Japan’s was even in the 80s. It’s worse then China or South Korea. It’s not just Mexico either, Costa Rica and Peru were pretty high up there. Brazil is on par with Japan now for working hours and Brazil probably works the least out of the Latin American countries. You also consistently ignore Latin America’s horrifying levels of homicide. A lot of these countries have homicide rates that are killing more people then actual civil wars in a lot of other countries are killing. Brazil and Mexico are both some of the only countries in the world where tens of thousands of people get murdered every year.

If Latin America is so great why have literally tens of millions of people from there fled into the US? If the US is so great why are we slaughtering ourselves nearly by the hundreds of thousands through drugs, alcohol and direct suicide? Same goes for Europe. If Africa was great then why is there so much civil war, rape, crime and chaos there? Plus lots of them are fleeing to Europe. If the Middle East was great they wouldn’t have so much terrorism and war.
I love Latin America for its open and fun-loving people and its sense of adventure. If I only cared about material comfort and safety, I would have just stayed in Europe.
But you are the one who is hellbent on portraying East Asian societies as some kind of superior civilization and dickriding East Asians as some sort of exemplary people whose shit don't stank even though you've never even lived in any East Asian country while some of us actually have and therefore know about everything that is messed up with them and that they're not exactly how you imagine them to be. Then you always want to insist that Asian women are these awesome demure little dolls just because of your "Asian fever" - even though you've only had relationships with a couple of American Asians and admit that you formed your love for Asian women through anime of all things - and have even gotten triggered when guys who have actually lived in Asia (including Asian men) talk about how rotten and self-serving many Asian women are. You'd rather occupy a fantasy world of East Asia that conforms to your own aesthetic fetishes. That's why I, as somebody who has lived in Japan, think that you're a weeaboo!

I notice what you did here. You just changed the focus of the discussion onto other cultures not related to East Asia and tried to flip it around on me by bringing up Latin America. That's because you are unwilling to examine the negative aspects of East Asian societies in an honest way because it would subtract from your weeaboo tradcon fantasy. You obviously have an axe to grind when it comes to East Asia, and given that you've never lived there at all, your views on the region can't really be taken very seriously!
