Absolutely insane rizz from Rick and Morty’s conversation with a 16 year old fan pic.twitter.com/jy7pXiVdpI— Normal Marty 🇺🇸 (@MartyAmericaUSA) January 15, 2023
I think the capitalist exploitation is so severe in Japan that people would rather age regress that accept a work life. The fetishization of high school is excessive and very unhealthy. I remember reading a manga about high school kids, them being on a school trip and gossiping before bed. One character says, "These are the best times of our lives!" If that's true, what does that say about Japanese culture at large? Why are you expected to peak in high school?
If I am correct in my analysis they never really liberalized before modernity. So there are still lots of old ideas rolling around in the culture along with development of modernity. If my math is right just recently is when the last of the culture makers who had any memory of pre-modrrn living would have bene replaced. Cause when you think about their post war adjustment there were still plenty of places that were fully pre-modern. so in a better world that would be fascinating to examine.
