Dude, I was a child when that happened. Either way, terrorist attacks represent an insignificant fraction of violence. Japan's levels of violence are microscopic anyway.
It stems from people overreacting a bit against right wing weebtards who point to Japan as an example of a successful homogeneous ethnostate. They jerk so hard they sometimes downplay the seriousness of the cultural issues in their own countries, especially in the west.
In my experience with Japan and social issues the fundamental problem is that it is extremely common for people to be amazingly short of knowledge about Japan and couple it with a desire to shoehorn their own narratives into Japanese society.
Does Japan have some real issues with gender inequality? Yes. Does having their first female fighter pilot have any bearing on that? Probably not. This is a country that had the first woman to climb Everest, it’s also a country that had a major scandal over schools modifying test scores to take on less women.
What’s annoying as someone who’s studied this is that Japanese society is basically two extremely flawed parables(usually for western society) which are juxtaposed against each other despite neither one actually standing up to criticism. All covered with a glaze of absurd falsehoods that don’t make any sense and translations that are charitable to call “ambitious”.

No they just bully children into comitting suicide a whole bunch while rewriting history books to exclude mention of japanese warcrimes.

Has Japan had any school shootings?
1 moush 2018-08-25
I'm pretty sure they have a higher suicide rate.

I wouldn't say Japan is screwed up. Just that it has its own set of problems like any other country.

acting like Japan doesn't have some significant problems with their culture is just as retarded as saying they are the worst country.
1 I_love_racist_jokes 2018-08-25
Japan is pretty terrible though. YOU WORK 100 HOUR WEEKS NO BREAK FOR YOU YOU MUST DO COMPANY PROUD OR KILL SELF HONOOOOR
1 watermark02 2018-08-25
Japanese actually work less hours per year than Americans according to OECD statistics.
1 I_love_racist_jokes 2018-08-25
No. They don't. Japanese just don't report the extreme hours of overtime they're forced to work out of fear of being shamed.
