Japan has its issues. It's got feminism written into its constitution (and you'll never guess who was responsible). Japan (along with South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan) has one of the lowest birth rates. It's got one of the longest work weeks and one of the highest suicide rates. The Japanese basically worship America, and because of that they're bound to absorb many of the same toxic cultural trends soon enough. They're in a similar spot to Poland in some ways. Sure, it's not as bad as it is in the West right now, but it's headed in the same direction unless it is able to rid itself of the poisonous liberal ideology. That may or may not involve restoring the Emperor...

I always see this brought up but in practice, Japan is anti-feminist. For example, they consistently score the lowest in the gender gap report. No other 1st world nation comes close to them.

And culturally speaking, Japan is a male orientated society. You're more likely to see positive examples of Men being portrayed as heroes and saving the day in their media. Whereas Women are portrayed as being quiet and trying to be a good spouse instead.
