    It gives me the sense that Japan has a lonely society and people don't go outdoors for activities

    I would rather be liked and loved for my true self or not at all. What an artificial ecosystem of transactions and lies. The downfall of love. The downfall of truth. The downfall of dignity. The downfall of sincerity. The downfall of connection.

      Young women who can't pay the tab often end up becoming prostitutes and working in the adult film industry. Before 2023 Japan's age of consent was 13 years, they changed it to 16 years in 2023. Most global north country's have over 18 age of consent, country with below 18 years are normally male dominant society's
