"Enshittification truly is how platforms die"-Cory DoctorowMore heads roll at Fuji TV over the sex scandal involving Nakai.
Tokyo announced that there's stopping monetary contributions to the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women over criticisms of revising laws to allow women to ascend the throne.
According to Tokyo, the rules regarding succession to allow women to be in the throne is not discriminatory and it's not a basic human right in Japan.
rollin' on dubs
It all depends on how much of a grip the older generation of Japan has.
There are WWII deniers and those who have a Stay in the Kitchen view of women, but most were in diapers in the years after WWII or were in elementary school during The '60s.
If not this decade, expect to see it in the next decade as Japan's Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha get sick of the shit coming out of the IHA and their fanboys.
The irony is that if the IHA put a woman on the throne, they could save it. "See, we're progressive and we got with the times!".

Banned Japanese pianos are skirting around sanctions Tokyo placed through China.
For those who don't know, luxury goods are under sanctions to Russia.
More than half of the rioters arrested at the Seoul Western District Court riot were men in their 20s and 30s.
This is in contrast to the large number of young women who show up at rallies demanding Yoon's removal from office.
South Korean Police are investigating an online community full of incels for plotting to riot at the Constitutional Court.
So, far-righters in the West claim that a secret cabal of Jewish people has infiltrated the upper echelons of government, far-righters in Japan claim that a secret cabal of Zainichi Koreans has infiltrated the upper echelons of government, and far-righters in South Korea claim that a secret cabal of ethnic Chinese people has infiltrated the upper echelons of government.
The National Human Rights Commission of Korea voted to recommend to the Constitutional Court to guarantee the right for Yoon to defend himself.
During the meeting, Yoon's supporters surrounded the offices of the National Human Rights Commission, and they occupied the hallway in front of the meeting room. One Yoon supporter, dressed up as Captain America
, blocked the door to the elevators, preventing staff and human rights activists who don't support Yoon from sitting in the meeting.
For reference, the head of the National Human Rights Commission, who Yoon appointed, wrote a book claiming that
if a law banning discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation passes, then AIDS and anal cancer would spread, there would be problems with gender-separated public baths and toilets, and that sexual crimes will increase.
He also said that it was the opposition parties' fault that he declared martial law, saying that they would not applaud him when he spoke at the National Assembly.
So Kim Jong-un had his uncle executed by firing squad because his uncle did not applaud him. Yoon Suk-yeol ordered armed troops to kidnap opposition lawmakers because they wouldn't applaud him.
