The same vice-reading retards saying to not go to japan and not be a japanophile because japan is secretly horrible are the ones that want japan to kneel to the west specifically so they CAN comfortably go there. First world tourism and skilled immigration is a big deal for japan. It's the whole reason they have the 90 day visitor visa, JET, the point system for permanent residency that's almost entirely based on job qualifications which gets you 33% of the way there just by being an N1 that went to a japanese university, skilled professional visa, and the cultural visa that lets you stay in the country practically indefinitely if you're specifically practicing a japanese cultural tradition like judo or tea ceremony.
Japan wants weeaboos more than they want people that don't like japan, but they want competent weeaboos not some dead weight refugees. If they can't get enough people from their most sought out demographics they have to start lowering their standards to bring in browns or compromise their culture to pander to westerners, both of which is the actual social erosion of japan scenario.
This is something the average japanese, or at least tokyo-ite, commoner isn't very conscious of however. Abroad in Japan has talked about being embarrassed multiple times meeting japanese big shots because he's much more comfortable riding the gaijin card in his everyday life to the point of it being a habit, but japanese high society people find out he's lived there for like 10 years and immediately start putting more formally japanese social expectations on him in their encounters, which he then fucks up because his japanese cultural skill has regressed due to living as an expat perma-tourist rather than a foreign immigrant.
