I agree about the pitfalls of a work-obsessed culture, but your tangential speculation about meat, women, and causes of suicide in Japan seem comically simplistic and honestly prejudiced.

Honestly, I'm largely building this off of what Japan thinks of themselves on this. They are not exactly forthcoming about their opinions of their own culture, not nearly as much as Western culture produces tongue-in-cheek parodies of itself, but some of their media produces their own form of parody that is uncomfortably true for some Japanese.

I mean, not everything they do involves ultra manly almost psychotic men piloting giant robots. That would be prejudiced, and also a bit hilarious.
