I often have heard foreign people's question like that.
"Why do Japanese otaku fight against Isihara? Doesn't the dictator squash otaku's freedom ?"
Simply put, the Japanese are taught that it is the virtue to give up their own freedom.
This situation doesn't mean the Japanese are not free about their real life because of some reason they face actually.
It is mean that almost all the Japanese believe it is the virtue to give up the freedom of the will.
I don't tell of freedom in reality.
If I tell about it, I must said "Everyone can't have gotten complete freedom ever, not only the Japanese. "
But it is different from that there is freedom actually.
In this occasion, it is important that the Japanese don't have freedom of mind.
You may not believe there is some people who don't admit freedom of will.
And you also may think the problem is solved by pointing with word of mouth because it is only a problem at mind.
It is a mistake.
Protestantism ,that is a state of mind, led the believer to capitalism that is an actual state.
(Max Weber's treatise "Die protestantische Ethik und der 'Geist' des Kapitalismus")
Some state of mind can lead some people to a result as a state of real that the people didn't estimate at all.
Of course, when you ask the Japanese about my opinion, almost all of them never recognize themselves as the being like slave.
Please call a your attention to their behavior, not to their words.
They can talk about only their superficial assumption.
They don't tell any words about their true desire they conceal from other's and themselves suspicion of it.
If they stop themselves from ignoring the desire and recognize it to be their true motive, they realize the true colors which they have obeyed have and become aware of the fact that the colors is perfectly ridiculous.
They are potentially afraid of the situation.
Because they have already spend nearly all their lives for the ridiculous.
It is too much job for such people to admit the fact.
So almost all the Japanese saying about themselves concerned with their society cannot be trusted.
About me?
I don't spend anything for such the ridiculous thing everyone in Japan have obeyed.
Neither my life.
Yes, I live in Japan.
I am a Japanese.
But I have felt as if the ridiculous thing is my enemy since I was a child.
Because of damage in my real life from it, I will continue to regard the ridiculous thing as my enemy.
I hate contemporary Japan.
It is a evidence of my hatred that I study hard and speak in English although I am bad at languages.
Almost all the Japanese adapt themselves for the unreasonable situation.
Previous my saying, Japanese people feel latent fear, so they recommend themselves and neighbors to ignore any way leading to the truth.
They want to forget their serious problem.
Recent ridiculous anime like rubbish and so on are narcotics to do so.
If the anime treat some serious problem, who watch it are made remember that they face to the same problem.
So people want to forget it shirk watching serious anime.
I know someone said "I'm tired of watching any anime which have right story".
The reason is it.
And when there is some opportunity of serious problem, many anime's stories often don't
solve it correctly.
Sometime, anime presents some surely wrong or halfhearted method instead of some true ethics and reason to agree.
The anime's attitude for serious problem is needed for people to regard anime as silly talk.
When they can put a label as a good-for-nothing on fictions, they can ignore the message some fictions try to transmit to watcher.
...I may be wrong to talk this situation as if it was some conspiracy theory.
But I don't want to say that someone wrote the plot since the beginning of Japanese history.
I want to show you the reason why many otaku don't mind that almost all amime's stories are random and rubbish.
At all events, almost all the Japanese can't answer the true reason for their behavior.
For example about DNA, we all human being have DNA in our body.
But we don't always know correct knowledge's of the base sequence.
Similarly, although some people are under a culture, it is not necessarily able to have correct understanding essence of the culture.
Being different from DNA's case, many the Japanese have motive to ignore the essence like what I told you in the previous sentence.
So I think you must not believe general the Japanese's view of themselves.
For the people to avoid the truth, it is inconvenient and harmful that some education give the people a true view of themselves.
So they artfully keep to being without correct education.
To make matters worse, they often rather praise the words to be helpful for getting giddy.
When they do so, they can made the education of truth been together with fake.
And when they will be made faced to the truth, they will be going to say that education is useless thing by using this confusion.
They want to keep the true education a position as halfhearted talking to waste time.
For continuing to ignore the inconvenient truth.
Therefore, almost all commentators and critics whom the Japanese people make much of are useless.
Their business is to tell lies or silly words to give giddy for getting forgotten the situation people face in real.
Of course they are useful for the people to want to only outward feeling easy.
But for the people who want to know the truth and actually do something like you, they are useless.
I will try to verify that my explanation is not a unfounded labeling.
Even if you study about Japan, you must not know the explanation like mine.
I also don't know the explanation I have.
I have already told you why ordinary people in Japan don't tell the truth.
I will also talk about professional scholars.
They tend to interpret some situation just as they stay their special field of study.
I understand there may be nothing for it but to do so.
And it may be OK...
They can't say anything with carelessness.
Of course many their studies are useful.
I think specialists have defined special field can be trusted in the words of their studying field at least, unless they talk about something like commentators and critics.
I also used their studies for making my opinion.
In any case...
Even I don't know anyone give comprehensive explanation which have similarity for mine.
I have the master's degree of arts in a national university in Japan.
My introduction may have been too long.
Finally at the introduction, I want to tell you the next sentence.
This is important...
If you don't know the explanation like that I will try to do, it is useless to give the Japanese any vituperation like "The Japanese are just cowardliness".
Almost all of the Japanese even can't understand what make you irritated.
You also can't understand the reason and motive to give up any action for getting their freedom.
For example...
The other countries people and the Japanese use a same word "society" by chance.
But each "society" means different concept from the one which another side use.
So each people often bring their mind to an end as a labeling that the another people is too inconsistent to be impossible for understanding.
But the labeling can not change any actual state at all.
You know, it is completely useless to tell any mental patient that you are insane.
It is just necessary to know the process and mechanism why the person got into insane.
If you didn't want to change the actual state and only want to grumble about mismanagement of others, you could keep yourselves from understanding process and mechanism.
However, if you make the choice, your say and wish never reach the Japanese.
So your words never affect the actual state and never cause abolishing unjust legal controls on anime, manga and so on.
It will also keep the present situation that you are not treated as regular member of consumer.
You must understand it.
Even if you are a future oriented person, you should understand the process for the Japanese to get strange mind also for your future.
Whether you want to dominate the Japanese or understand each other, getting knowledge's about the thinking pattern of the Japanese will be useful.
