I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to let LGBTQ+ people to marry, nor will they stop discriminating against them. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but AOC has alienated an entire culture of bigotry with this move.
AOC, publicly apologize and cancel calling out Japan's treatment of LGBTQ+ people or you can kiss your business goodbye.

So you're implying the Japanese public are hateful bigots? Because AOC said something about something?

Are you saying she called out Japan for being anti gay? I want to make sure I read that correctly.

I am very conflicted with this situation

On one hand I stand with my LGBTQ+ comrades, but on the other hand I respect Japanese culture and their way of life.

We can't force other countries to do that.'
or can we??

You don't stand with LGBTQ+ people if you're conflicted. Discrimination is wrong and they can shove their "culture" up their ass just like any country that stones women or jails gay people.

Do you stand with the citizens of such countries that are suffering because of these draconian laws?

It's honestly surprising just how much Japanese media fetishsizes LGBT that it's still illegal for them to get married. The popular argument used by old ass Japanese politician is that gays are not "productive" because they're not creating families (making baby's) but already a lot of their "straight" citizens aren't doing it anyways lol.

It's almost as if straight couples have been ruining marriages for decades now.

We gotta find a way to use their own bullshit logic against them.

Make gay marriage legal, and now gay people no longer have to marry their beards, freeing up more straight partners for heterosexual marriage and the propagation of the human race

They have such a colossal decline in birth rates that that's not too surprising to me. Just like in America for years before marriage equality, however, most regular people support it/don't discriminate against LBTQ+ people. It's just crusty ass old men in politics who want "traditional values" or whatever so the working class can keep pumping out wage slaves for them to make use of.

If I am not mistaken the Japanese people are in favor of gay marriage and are becoming more so every year. It is the government which is still behind the times. Like is always the case.

Homosexuals are not having kids anyway and keeping them from marrying won't change that. Okay some Homosexuals still want kids of course.

This. Culture is of no value if it doesn't value all of the people that are part of it.

Yeah they seem to think that if they refuse to let them be happy and love whomever they wanna love, they'll just be like, "OK i guess I'll go pump out some babies for the state instead."

idk I don't claim to understand the mind of the conservative political elite, just tellin' ya what they say.

It'd be hypocritical to hold different countries to different standards.

I respect AOC's consistency. I absolutely despise liberals who want America to be a SJW wonderland but give say Islamic countries a pass for far less equal cultural values.
