s amazing how many people still have such an antiquated view of the Japanese.

The Japanese today and the Japanese in Peleliu in ‘44 are not the same.

Could you expand?? I'm sure they've evolved somewhat, but saying a culture thousands of years old has completely changed in the last 80 seems a lot more radical than thinking they haven't changed

A clash of Samurai and barbarian. I cannot wait.

Never forget that the cabal murdered Shinzo Abe

Muslims acting out violently?

No way!!!

Brave says to question of "are current Japanese men softer than 100 years ago?"...

quote:

---

Yes, current Japanese men are generally perceived as "softer" than men from 100 years ago, reflecting a significant shift from the rigid, hierarchical masculinity of the early 20th century to the more emotionally expressive and aesthetically focused ideals of the modern era.

Historical Context: A century ago (1920s), masculinity was closely tied to militarism, nationalistic power, and stoic sacrifice, with men expected to suppress emotional displays and prioritize corporate or state loyalty above individual well-being.

Modern Shift: Contemporary masculinity has evolved into a spectrum that includes the "Herbivore Man" (Soushoku Danshi), who is characterized by gentleness, emotional maturity, and a focus on grooming rather than aggressive dominance.

Cultural Drivers: This change is driven by women’s increasing financial independence, which has shifted partner preferences toward kindness and compatibility over traditional "provider" status, and a post-war societal move away from toxic, hyper-masculine ideals.

Visual & Social Changes: The modern ideal often embraces androgyny and "bishonen" (beautiful boy) aesthetics, where men openly express affection, engage in childcare, and prioritize personal interests, contrasting sharply with the "Showa Strongman" archetype of the past.

Americans, Europeans, have experinced the same above to some degree. We can easily see American men are much softer than we were 100 years ago.

I'll add that women are playing a larger influential role in Japanese society and politics. Let's see if women of Japan are willing to take the leash off their whipped men and encourage them to do what needs to be done.

One thing some of you guys aren’t apparently taking into account is these aren’t really Middle Eastern Muslims per say.

The Japanese aren’t idiots. They understand that they are very top heavy and don’t have enough young people to support the population. This is at crisis level.

So they’ve had to allow in low income workers from places like Indonesia (87% Muslim), Malaysia (65%) and the Philippines which is about 10%. The question is, how do you manage the number of Islamic immigrants.

Back in the 1990’s, Japan allowed a large number of Iranians into the country to fill much needed vacancies in the construction industry. They were brought in on temporary work visas and a large number were sent home. But I remember they were the guys to go to back then for illegal phone cards in Shibuya. Not sure if THOSE guys are still around.

This was my first thought. It's probably not a bunch of Arab muslins running around.

The two worst cancers on the global population today are Liberalism and Islam.

We as a human society can survive anything else but these two will destroy the whole world.

Fair enough, I can't argue with that one. We've had great excess in the 2020s, I just hope we don't repeat the next decades of the 100 year cycle
