The US is at a point where it's far more of a shame-driven society than Japan.

One wrong move and you, your family, and your employer are trending on twitter and national news and apologizing for your entire existence while everyone publicly announces that they're cutting ties with you.

Japan has incredibly strong defamation laws, where half the stuff that hits twitter in the US would land people in trouble in court in Japan for trying to ruin someone's reputation (even if it's justified).

Before that there was the lawsuit culture.. I wonder if it faded.

You got the woke culture to thank for.
