Former Japanese television presenter and YouTuber Kanon Aoki has warned that X’s automatic translation tool is damaging Japan’s international reputation as a polite and harmonious society.
She explains that the feature now exposes blunt or negative online comments from some Japanese users to global audiences, revealing opinions on topics like tourism and cultural norms that were previously hidden by language barriers.

Yeah, you are right. I should do well to remember that.
I have also heard (albeit superficially) that the opposition parties basically offer very little or seems to get caught in positions or scandals that basically dwindles any meaningful support combined with unfortunate idealist messages that seems cringe to most people. It’s just stuck in a deadlock so I assume most people just go with whatever until something materially change.
Yeah opposition parties have been really rough. A vast majority of them are conservative with only 1-2 ones that could even be called reformist liberal. Japan has the oldest unmodified constitution in the world. It’s constitution was also modeled after America’s and it’s a prime example of why adding more parties doesn’t fix anything. It’s such a gridlock and even with the recent election getting a majority with one party, which has rarely happened, it’s unlikely to actually result in any meaningful change like constitutional amendments. Japan is really built for “status quo”
