  Kinda weird for a country that sells more adult diapers than baby diapers. Japan will be forced to adjust their policies against gaijin (outsiders).
context: Aren't these issues historically swept under the rug in Japan? Maybe it's not really crime on the rise, but crime reporting/investigating. >
  
  My take away from this title is Japan’s crime went 20 years without rising. >
  
  With this kind of domestic crime, it’s likely that the reporting of these crimes have increased. >
  
  or maybe due to covid lockdowns, people took out their frustrations and domestic crime increased >
  
  In unrelated news, Japan has record low marriage and  birth rates. >
  
  Something that's always weirded me out watching Japanese streamers is that quite a number of them seem to really enjoy making a joke out of domestic violence and abuse. Like someone will set up a weird abuse scenario and everyone jumps in on the act as though it's totally natural and not absolutely fucked up.
  As much as I like these streamers otherwise, I really can't get why it seems so normalized for them. They sometimes go out of their way to say they are totally against that in 'real life', but still...
