Well, this isn’t going to help Japan
Ultra-conservative bullshit is going to cost them dearly
As much as I enjoy visiting, it’s an extremely racist and bigoted country

Already is.
It’s a GREAT time to visit Japan atm tho. Everything is so fucking cheap if you’re spending North American currency.

Any other german speakers here who had to think of Takeshis Castle right away?
I didn’t until you just wrote it, Kenny! Here in America it was MXC (Most Extreme Elimination Challenge).
Yeah, I saw it in the US before and remembered it had quite the strange name.
We enjoyed Takeshi’s Castle here in the UK too! With none other than Craig Charles narrating.
Takeshi’s castle with a Brit narrator sounds fantastic haha.
“Female PM”
“Believes women should adhere to more traditional roles”

Watch out Germany, Alice Weidels gonna get elected next and bring back the axis, but with girl bosses this time.
Thankfully Hollywood has shown us that this will be less successful
