yes
being gay is still a valid reason to fire an employee in japan
there was a manga called blue flag. it was a shonen slice of life series that focused on teens growing up
one of the main characters is a gay guy and when his older brother who is also his legal guardian finds out they have a conversation without ever actually addressing the issue but it ends with the brother saying that there are things he can do that as his older brother he will never approve of (being gay) but there is nothing he can do that will ever make him outright disown him

that is considered a very progressive stance in japan where as full on acceptance is the progressive stance in north america

Years of major political change/action usually have increased birth rates iirc

Japan is culturally very conservative, people have a twisted perception of it because their lens into Japan is primarily informed by raunchy hentai

Woo man, the gamer crowd and anime crowd are pretty close to each other, I bet they're pretty pissed off about this.

they openly discriminate against their indigenous minorities (the ainu) as well as THIRD-GENERATION immigrant minorities (i.e. koreans who've been living there since the early 1900s) and do not give them the full rights of citizens

gender relations in the work place are straight out of Mad Men

mental health in general is given the "just don't be sad xd" approach, highest suicide rate in the world btw

basically if you aren't a full-blooded, japanese-born, japanese-raised person you are a second-class citizen. ethnically japanese people who were born in the US and moved to japan at the age of one are discriminated against socially, let alone people who are half-japanese and whatnot.
