Given the confluence of weeb culture and the alt-right (think incels and “traditionalists” with anime avatars, right-wing gamers pointing to Japan as a high-tech conservative utopia untouched by wokeness and such), it was inevitable that sooner or later someone would try to imagine a Japan that goes to Latin Mass.
Is that still a pervasive thought in today’s culture about Japan? I understood back in the 90’s when there was less exposure but I thought that reality kinda crumbled with the loss of high tech companies that actually give a damn anymore. I don’t know of anyone that talks about “premier” Japan tech unless it’s something from the past.

Japan tends to lurch forward, then be stagnant for large periods of time.
