Ya ever just hear of an entire discourse you know nothing about

and then feel stuck between wanting to know more but also terrified of knowing more

So basically he felt the way to combat the declining birthrate was to work with anime studios to promote… uh people having kids. So then you basically have mecha vs. aliens anime except now add in a bunch of stuff like “it needs two pilots, an boy and a girl and the girl is bent over in front of the male pilot” and “the dystopian future has people with extended lifespans but no ability to procreate” etc.

So anyway, it’s a gross cishet propaganda piece with gross dude stuff on top of it, which only makes it about 10% more gross than most shonen but the fact that it’s govt. sponsored is sketchy as hell.

(Sorry yall this is something I’m interested in please feel free to skip)

Its all about the numbers y'all. Japans birth rate is currently at 1.43 per woman (2017) a 2.37% decrease from the year prior and declining steadily. Replacement levels for a population are at roughly 2.1 births per woman, and Japan has not met that goal since 1974.

They do not have enough children being born to prevent the population from decreasing and having an increasing number of elderly who require care from their last baby boom. New people aren’t being brought up or trained fast enough to fill their workforce or to care for the rapidly aging population.

PM Abe tried all sorts of wild shit, funding essentially hentai OVAs, providing baby funding, pushing a campaign of increased government child care resources that have largely fallen flat (they are already building up extensive waiting lists despite promises to provide free child care for every child in Japan in an effort to further incentive baby making).

Tokyo based firms began constructing marriage hunter apartments with stripper poles in the bathrooms to promote sexuality and try to encourage some baby making, to no avail.

Shinzo ‘Cum Inside’ Abe has ignored the actual problems with Japans corporate culture that require excessive overtime and dedication to the wellbeing of the company being completely at odds with cultivating any sort of social ties.

There’s no time, and when there is time there’s no energy left for child rearing. If there’s time and energy, their depressed wages ensure that there is no money and overcrowded city micro apartments mean there’s no space.

The sysyem is fundamentally broken and no amount of tax credits or free child care will make up for the implicit disincentivizations at a societal level for anything except working in your cubicle until you drop dead.

TL;DR

Shinzo Abe was very bad at acknowledging the actual flaws in society that make child rearing hard and drive down birth rates and thought he could fix it with tax credits and anime tiddies. Did not work.

You don’t understand, you haven’t been inside this thing. It’s like walking into a parallel dimension made up of camouflage and taxidermy. The thing has a huge waterway running through the whole shop that contains live catfish, ducks and (in one section) alligators. The largest free standing elevator in the us is in this pyramid. It contains a bowling alley, hotel and restaurant. They have a huge aquarium that scuba divers go into to feed the fish and have keeper talks in.

The pyramid actually predates the bass pro. If I’m not mistaken it used to hold a museum. It’s such a central part of Memphis’s skyline that it’s on our postcards. And it’s been turned into a Bass Pro Shop.

Like, the more I talk about it the more I agree with my roommate that a glittering glass pyramid on the horizon that is actually a Bass Pro Shop sounds like one of those overly long Night Vale bits that turns into an ad.

h-e-z

The Pyramid used to be an amphitheater. When I was a kid, I saw Janet Jackson, N*SYNC, and hilariously, Sisqo, LFO, and Eve6 here. However, the Pyramid was the biggest waste of city money because, as it turns out, a fucking pyramid is awful for acoustics! It also had direct competition with The Coliseum amphitheater, ironically.

Anyways, it was pretty short lived and while it was inactive, it was passed around as various things. The King Tut traveling museum showcase came to it, which was cool as all hell, but other than the occasional flea market and temporary skating rink, it was abandoned.

What would happen with the Pyramid was always a hot topic of debate in Memphis. Bass Pro had been gunning for it for a while, but people were really opposed to it for Obvious Reasons. The Pyramid was such an icon on Memphis’ skyline at this point that they didn’t want it to be a huge retail outlet. There were plans to turn it into a theme park of some sort, or maybe an aquarium, but what it came down to was money. Bass Pro had the money and Memphis kind of has a shit government when it comes to things like arts, public works, and culture lmao

anyways, yeah. its a fucking bass pro shop. it has the tallest free-standing elevator in the world and has a steam punk bar on top. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
