>>440579 Japan is really big into conformity and placidity--not fighting back. If you are robbed, you put up with it. If you are raped, you don't report it because Japan is largely sexist. If you are bullied, you are expected to suck it up until the second you hang yourself in agony (read up on young girl suicides in Japan, it's an epidemic).
Japan just underreports, their entire cultural norm is to 'save face.' Ask a Japanese immigrant if something is okay for you to do. They will smile, nod, say it's fine, and then you'll find out later they complained about you behind your back. They don't dare correct people unless they are clearly socially above that person (father to son, teacher to student, employer to worker). In fact, students aren't allowed or expected to ask questions--the class representatives go around to students and ''collect' questions to ask to the teacher all at once. You only get to ask once, so you'd better get it right or be viewed as unintelligent.
They're really hardcore about everyone being perfect and the same. That's why fujioshi/otaku/ganguro girls/punkers/LGBT/sign-language-using Deaf/etc. are seen as such freaks--they enjoy being different.
