>They have a lot of hikkis
No they don't. Social anxiety isn't prevalent enough to be considered a mental health crisis anymore. With things such as internet usage, computer enthusiasm, anime, manga, and video games being adopted in to the norm, those who would have once been isolated by these hobbies are now able to flourish under the benefit of what society has to contribute to them.
>NEETs
Japan has an unemployment rate of about 2.54%. Compared to the UK's 3.5, USA's 3.9, and Canada's 5.80
>and virgins there
Marginally. Young Japanese men's abstinence is tied to their Shintoist culture. It's not a country that shoves premarital and loose sex practices down the youths' throats. Virginity in to adulthood is normal there as it once was here. Wizardry is a conscious, informed rejection of sex in a way that deviates from the encouraged norm - a "zig" to the wizard's local flavour of "zag". In Japan however, virginity is the zig and the youth are zigging just fine with it.

You watched Serial Experiments Lain, the anime adaption of Welcome To The NHK, and read the MyAnimeList entry for Kaiji and now you think Japan is a wasteland of sad, oppressed N.E.E.Ts and "down-bad literally meeze who hate le wageslavery".

>interesting underground wiz related thing from Japan that you know?

to measure how much hikki there's in japan or how to define them they say the shut in being must don't have a mental illness.

I must remind you that parents of neet/hiki are ashamed of their son being an adult and staying at home, not working

no thanks

Japan is mostly a normalfag country, there are tons of fem-ales, stupid normies, retarded trends etc, I would say that 90% of Japan is pure normalfaggotry, like any other country.

The magic happens on the other 10%, there's a real, sizable part of the population that is composed by shutins, NEET, virgin, otaku, rejected by society, individuals, but contrary to other countries that would just ignore, forget or just ostracize those people forever and don't pay any attention to them Japan has created an entire industry to cater to these people, and I would say that they don't only cater to them, but they actually provide continuous and endless material to satisfy them, be Anime, manga,eroge, dakimakuras, figures, porn and other things, designed specifically for those people, I would say that Japan has perfected the art of escaping reality as much as possible, if you think about is truly wonderful what they have done, I think that's the reason why so many people with similar characteristics is attracted to Japan, some years ago some serious studies about this have started to appear, I think it's a very interesting topic.

Just look at this manga >>42176 on any other country writing or reading this would probably get you in prison the second you tried to do it in public, yet in Japan is relatively normal to engage with this kind of material, I will never forget when I was in surugaya in akiba on the floor full of eroge and the customers were buying those things and the employeers were ordering these massive posters of lewd character as if it was perfectly normal, because there it probably is.

>10% of the country is REJECTED BY SOCIETY
Fuck off lmao. This romantic fetishization of being a sad wittle NEETy boi has been a disaster for imageboards. The stats are there and they don't lie; Japan isn't harboring anywhere close to 30 million reclusive, sad, unemployed, anime-addicted young men who would get beat up if they dared to go outside.

>Just look at this manga >>42176 on any other country writing or reading this would probably get you in prison the second you tried to do it in public
More baseless assumptions based on your own notions of common sense. No, fiction is still considered fiction in most of the world and reading pornography in public isn't a felony. Can you even cite a law that would be violated by owning this doujin or reading it on the sidewalk?

>yet in Japan is relatively normal to engage with this kind of material
It is fucking not
>I will never forget when I was in surugaya in akiba on the floor full of eroge and the customers were buying those things and the employeers were ordering these massive posters of lewd character as if it was perfectly normal, because there it probably is.
Yeah, it is normal "there" - In one of about three stores that deal in this media, in the one small street dedicated to contain this type of thing, in the one small district where fans of this sort of thing gather. Newsflash, dumbass: Japan has about 3 major comic market conventions each year. Less than a quarter of the works in these conventions is pornographic. A significantly small amount of that hentai is LolisSho. Meanwhile, California alone hosts several competing anime, R34, furry, pony, BSDM, and infantilism fetish conventions each year. Sexual deviancy, degeneracy, and yes even celibacy is celebrated much more in America than in Japan. The USA and other Western nations have "pride parades" for fuck's sake. But is this indicative that these porn addictions, child rape art books, and public fisting sessions are "normal" and "accepted" here? Of course not. Every country has its share of perverts and by all metrics, Japan has a much smaller density of those who engage in the collection of pornographic works. Of course being outside of Japan, all you're going to see is the babyfuck doujins, the tentacle hentai, and the USED PANTSU VENDING MACHINE OMG SUCH PERVS (that was literally set up for a joke photoshoot for a day in Akihabara), because that's what is fun to share.

You're a genuine retard spewing the same kind of tourist diatribe that anti-Japanese keyboard warriors on Tumblr spout. Here's a nice warm mug of CP to cleanse the thread once again.

do you have a pdf of hikikomori/outsiders/ otaku in japan?

its already a problem how much media they produces about hikkos
it implants the manifestation into the youth's minds. they will cast the role of hikko upon others or themselves.
>you are what you eat
you should take sun wukong's lesson and assume that you are also what media you consume

I'm a apprentice in a virgin boy website, I am hollow on the inside and I am what I eat:internet

lol wat? That role is bestowed upon outcasts by others whether they like it or not irrespective of what tv says.
