Ok, mom, firstly, you need to understand that this isn't porn, all right? It's called "hentai". Yes, that's a Japanese phrase, I'm learning Japanese from these videos. Before I get to the part about learning Japanese, though, let me first comment on the cultural implications of hentai. After the second world war, which Japan lost after the nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the entire country underwent a period of self-reflection and soul-searching. They wanted to understand how events led to the rest of the world responding with such devastating atomic attacks. This led to a strong antipathy towards war-mongering and international aggression. You may have heard about how the Japanese constitution doesn't allow the country to have an active military. Same idea. A lot of post-war Japanese culture is a reflection of such attitudes. For example, the Godzilla movies are not just about giant monsters fighting each other. They're about the horrors of unbridled atomic technology (Godzilla's always depicted as being powered by or healed by nuclear power), and how such a terrifying force can never be allowed to be unleashed on humanity again. On a similar note, Japanese animation enjoyed a resurgence of popularity after the war, due to the populace choosing to turn towards the comforting images of their youth. Japanese kids, much like kids in our country, like to watch cartoons. As a result, psychologically speaking, cartoons represent a reminder of a simpler and more innocent age. This upsurge in popularity resulted in animated images pervading almost all of Japanese culture: from movies, to television, to advertising, to music videos, and so on and so forth. And because animated images were so widely accepted throughout Japan, they were used for almost every type of source material, or to tell any type of story. Animation was no longer the sole domain of children. You got animated movies that told very mature stories, like Ghost in the Machine or Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Sometimes you get stories that involve very mature topics, like war, or murder, or rape, or torture. The Japanese have generally become quite accustomed seeing depictions of such things in their animations. So yeah, that's why I was watching this movie. It's an epic tale about a space crew exploring a distant planet (the crew's all female, because Japan's very into gender equality), and they run into a hostile alien, with a bunch of tentacles... and... well... I don't want to spoil the story for you, but let's just say the crew eventually figure out how to get along with the alien. It's a story about bridging cultural gaps and finding common ground. Seriously, it's worth watching. Ok, next, you remember how I talked about knowing Japanese words and phrases now? It's because these movies are subtitled in English, so I can learn Japanese while watching them. I mean, I know words like yamete, and iie, and iigu, and lots of others. Much better than just knowing konichiwa, isn't it? I mean, I'm developing such an interest in hentai that I might just major in Japanese when I'm in college. Who knows, I might be the one writing the subtitles in the future. Oh, and one last thing, you should know that hentai's considered pretty mainstream in Japan now, and it's also quite common in the western world too now. Everyone's watching it. I mean, if I don't watch it, I'll be seen as some sort of freak at school. You don't want your son to be some kind of pariah because he doesn't watch hentai, do you?
Although it is regretful of [the speaker in the video] not understanding the term "LGBT" and the discriminatory terms regarding them, please read my speech and understand those ideas better.
If you know under what kind of negative ideology and the painful suicide [maybe suicidal thoughts?] I have endured and grew out of, I believe you would be a more open-minded politician.
The above is my stab at it. Brackets is my personal comment.
Other comments are mostly supportive comments, saying the lady in the video is an idiot.
Except for this comment:
この意見を批判してる連中ってレズビアンやゲイになればお金あげますって法案に賛成なの？
"Those who criticize this position, do you support the bill that gives money to people who became lesbian or gay?"
The Twitter account you've linked to replied:
不勉強でした、なんという名称の制度ですか？
"Sorry I have not been keeping up. What is the name of this policy?"
Tell that to the country where there's just more and more old people to take care of each year. They need babies, and soon. In fact, I live in a Third World hellhole where soon there will be the same problem.
Gay people are going to exist whether there's gay education in school or not. So if we decrease the suicide rate among gay people, that's more gay people who can take care of their parents when they get older, more gay people who can donate sperm/eggs and more gay people who can adopt, including adopting someone from overseas.
The suicide of prime age working adults will not aid in this problem. Besides, gay couples have use in a society, they can take care of orphans who would otherwise be prone to delinquency.
Its always a lol to see Amerilards, Europoors, etc, decrying the sad state of Japan...a country with incredibly low unemployment, spectacular infrastructure, incredibly high HDI, world beating companies, a coherent society, etc, just because they aren't packing their nations with sweaty darkies from the third world and unwanted semi retarded babies from dried out old cooches.
Yes, because the economic model that gave us the "Ruse Belt" is really one to be following. Just lol.
Also Japanese food is the bomb and I wish they had of won the war.
I mean yeah there is stuff inbetween, but really we are all here to do one thing, have children. If you dont have children or atleast adopt or foster you really didnt do the one real thing life wanted you to do.
Now nobody has to do anything they dont want to, that is completely fine. But you have the drive to have sex for a reason, life made it so when you fuck you feel good so you would fuck and fuck till you made more little fuckers so one day they could scour the earth and fuck to create some other little fuckers.
Taiwan is the only eastasian country that seems remotely progressive on LGBT issues, they have gay marriage at least. I don't even think it's an issue in Japan at all, just nobody talks about it.
Of course the internet is causing a lot of social justice ideas to spread to Japan for the first time, for better or for worse. Sexual harassment just recently became an idea there in the past decade or so. Before they imported it from the west, literally the idea didn't exist at all and there was nothing people could do about being sexually harassed.
Taiwan honestly is a good microcosm to do a lot of case studies in East Asian culture. All the issues present in East Asian countries, you can find a parallel in Taiwan. Tiger mom, karoushi, low pay for young people, etc.
Japan had their own breed of feminists, also false accusation has also been a thing in Japan as well, which soured a lot of opinions men had on feminism.
To this comment:
there was nothing people could do about being sexually harassed.
Yes and no. In a place where hierarchy is rigid like in a company, it is very possible that female need to endure much unwanted sexual advance. However in other situations, like on the train, or even in the family, women do seem to hold more power than it is generally thought. I just saw a thread the other day, in which a bunch of housewives talking about how their husband is asking for too much spending money. Fun stuff.
Like after listening to this I have a feeling that she is a closeted homo. "What if there is a handsome senpai at my girls school? Then if I received LGBT education I wouldn't be with a man!" (paraphrase)

If the magical power is mantaining virginity, and the demons they fight are depression and a terrible job market, yes.
