The longer I lived in Japan, the more I realized that generalizations about Japan are naive/mistaken. And yes I know they come from enthusiasm and meant positively.

Thank you for saying this. I live in Japan too and I literally cringe whenever I see something Japan related on here. It's mostly generalizations infused with orientalism and nihonjinron.

Can you expand on this? With respect to this article, what did the author get wrong?

If I tried to explain the REAL truth about Japan, it would be just as wrong

Is there anything you could say that would move the needle in the right direction?
