Japan is only anti-woke in the sense that the culture war just isn't a thing really here. Trans people existing doesn't really bother an appreciable number of people. If NHK programs were in PBS in America it would probably get called woke liberal brainwashing since they have entire shows about being LGBT or a minority, but here it's only a very marginal far right that actually cares (literally 1 elected dude in this party called the anti-NHK party).

I would describe most Japanese as politically apathetic and not interested in any politics that might cause trouble. A lot of themes in Japanese anime and games get a pass in the West despite being woke for reasons I don't really understand (like everyone loves Gundam and Metal Gear Solid for some reason).

I was being sarcastic. I don't even think woke is real. I think it's something people latch to when they don't have a real reason to hate some.

Everytime something fails the real reason is due to lack of interest or a poor quality product. Not because of "wokeness."
