@Glomoro Don't need doujin to tell those stories. Anyway to get kids informed about reproduction is a totally different story than "sex education". Later liberal bullshit has nothing in this day and age in common with the former. And that is why cringe meme like "you can't kiss me but I'm OK with you sticking it in" even get to go around. Liberation of woman e.g. feminism was wanted and is by now accepted by mindless masses, just deal with the consequences of stupidity and no "sex education" will solve the problem ever. The real world is fucked up beyond repair. So whatever.
@akamangaka Eh, it depends on how one puts it. Healthcare? No. Militarily? Definite yes.
Is it currently 'advance' not necessarily. Could it become a nation more advanced than any, most certainly. It has proved itself by becoming the sole superpower of the world for some time.
@HellifIknow Military? Is that even a fair comparisons, cuz I would say not due to the U.S. demilitarization and occupation of Japan after the Second World War. Even with the JSDF, the military is hardly a focus for them like it is for us, and for good reason. Really, we allocate way too much into defense.
On the other hand, in other areas such as infrastructure, they’re far more advanced than America. Post-WWII, the Japanese economy was in shambles, therefore, the government made sound decisions to 1. Rebuild and industrialize 2. Construct public transportation and infrastructure that can be readily used by the Japanese people e.g. Shinkansen and JR system in order to bolster their future growth, as opposed to the thriving U.S. postwar economy, causing higher disposable incomes, so more Americans would end up buying cars leading to our reliance on them and terrible infrastructure. Not only that, they have universal healthcare and probably a much better education system (common core is quite literally garbage). The industry says they’re two years ahead of us in fashion, and I’m sure there’s other places where they got us beat.
However a lot technological advancement occurs in America with the onset of the brain drain and all.
