There are plenty and I mean plenty of sources that refer to Japan as a sexless nation:

And the list goes on and on.

Also there is an important difference between being sexless and having low birth rate. It might not be obvious to you but one can have sex without having children.

It seems to me that it’s you the one that sources their information from anime and/or 4chan.

"Western countries are kind of a shithole compared to Japan." What about all of their societal problems?

- Extreme loneliness and isolation. Hikikokormi cases are on the rise.

- Lack of sex to the point to be considered a sexless society with one of the highest virginity rate and oldest age for loosing virginity.

- Extremely old population with an inverted social pyramid making it a huge burden to the young population and a huge problem for the country overall.

- High depression and suicide rates.

- Lack of affection between the parents and their kids, the father is never around because he is always working and kids are basically raised by their mother.

- Overworked workforce with low yield and productivity.

I don't know where you live but here in Munich we don't have a lot of "filth", crime or misery.

"less civilized countries" the arrogance, and you are the one asking for empathy?

You forgot three very important points:

- Privacy. Apple didn't built their business on milking people's data unlike google and so many others.

- Security. Among many other factors the walled garden does provide a higher degree of security compared to Android.

- Performance. Not only iPhones completely destroy Android in terms of performance and optimisation but the fact they are so performant make them great long term purchases. Still rocking my iPhone X from 5 years ago and it's still buttery smooth.

Kids aren't stupid, they want something that works and is as fast as they are.

Agreed but it's not just Japan but pretty much every country in the world. And all countries do the same to each other. Projecting their own fears and insecurities into others.

In-app propaganda? What the hell are you talking about? Have you even used the app?

I'm a software engineer from Colombia and Narcos is definitely exaggerated and over dramatized. The cartel war of the 80s and 90s was definitely very brutal and absolutely terrible for the country but for the vast majority of people that lived through those times (me included) we watched the violence in the news like everybody else. Only in very specific areas of the country some people got to experience actual violence.

Colombia has a population of 50 million and at most those cartel gangs add up to 15,000 members in total (counting the guerrilla groups) which is a pretty scary number but still only around 0.03% percent of the population in total. Cartels tend to operate in very marginalized or remote areas (like the jungles) so for many Colombians violence like the one showed in Narcos is something we rarely experience.
