Could it be that these kids are literally being followed by adults with cameras on them at all times? Could it be that they’re walking through cities where people don’t drive ford f15,000s 30 mph over the speed limit?

No, it must be because japan is “homogenized” and makes pedo porn

    lets compare to Australia, U.K., Canada and America

    Well, if we’re going to equate correlation to causation then one might point out that those dangerous countries you mentioned are run by and are majority white people … Curious :think-about-it:

    Also, it might be Japan, you know, pretending it’s safer than it really is. It’s not like they like to talk about taboo things.

      Nah, when I lived there it was very common to see young children on trains, busses, and walking by themselves with zero adult supervision. It is just socially acceptable for kids to be off doing their own thing at a very young age.

      Also, not to go off at you personally but I think there’s something vaguely orientalist in the idea that Japan (or any other Asian country) does things to save face or whatever. Like we don’t look at dumb American high school sitcoms and talk about how Americans are sweeping school shootings under the rug because they’re saving face.
