And I’m sure the boundary on what constitutes ‘badness’ is something everyone can agree on!

I guess putting innocent people in miserable conditions for extended periods doesn't count as tolerating badness, technically.

They do tolerate badness though. Japan is great on some scores, but it has rampant political corruption, the Yakuza and sexual assault of women is common and mostly goes unreported.

Do you mean it's not tolerated as long as you ignore the following?

-The rampant sexual assaults -Child pornography still be prevelant -Tens of Millions overworked -Millions paid a wage that can't provide anything other than a slave life -The latter two leading to extreme levels of suicide -The fact the society as a whole isolates difference whether it be disability, or personality -OAPs needing to commit crime to live or committing crime to go to prison -There not being enough social care -The rampant racism against anyone else

Need I go on? If you think the above is wonderful something is seriously wrong. Japan has as many flaws as any where else and is the reason for many of them themselves.

There’s loads of drugs in tokyo and ample opportunities to get robbed or beaten up every day of the week and the police doesn’t give one crap as long as they only target foreigners.

Fucked up country I wish for the people to be free one day from their current fascist leaders.
