I saw a conversation here where someone thought homophobia wasn't that bad in the 90s.
I had someone else say they didn't remember any anti-Japanese racism in Australia in the 90s. I being on the receiving end of it would remember it pretty strongly, but to forget it entirely?
Just really poor memory
(History? I guess this is history subbear. Given how much people seem to misinterpret events happening now, what does that say about writing of events at the tim?)
Wasn't the prospect of Japan taking over the world a recurring plot thread in speculative '90s political fiction? Tom Clancy's Debt of Honor (1994), that kind of thing. Also seems like a line of thought in op-eds from the period.
Constantly. Cyberpunk leaned heavily in to the idea that cheap consumer electronics would vault Japan to global domination.
lol they were just east a little bit too far
