A few out of many of my favorite responses include

I always feel like all this hatred for Japan can be traced back to money. Right now, Japanese media is a competition that a lot of Western corporations have little to no control over. And corpos being what they are, they can't stand that. Also add that more and more people are preferring Japanese media over Western ones, we can see why it bothers them so much. In fact, I once told a friend that with Korean media also being on the rise, getting into games and such, it won't be long before we start seeing hit pieces directed towards them. Hell, I've already seen stirrings of it on X. And I don't mean the "K-pop sucks" kinda thing, but hatred that's almost similar to what we see directed towards Japan. Of course, these are all just my speculation on it.

Japanese media isn't woke and has proven itself highly resistant (but not immune) to wokeness. Them getting an Emmy for it just shows how political this is. Japanese media has been resisting them, and this is them lashing out to browbeat them into capitulation.
