Anime, manga, and gaming are just forms of escapism and when they have become a crutch then that usually means there is something awfully wrong with reality. From what I could remember a typical salary man would work 60+ hours a week usually with no overtime pay in strict corporate hierarchy with little of no chance of moving up the ladder and with absolute obedience to their bosses with a constant and ever present need show loyalty to the very same company working them to death. All this to support a wife and their kids. That would be a nightmarish lifestyle to follow through for later generations.
Must play games...must escape reality... Ahhhhh...

...Or maybe people just don't want to bring their children into a world that will see their prime years spent financially (and otherwise) responsible for the needs of an enormous population of the elderly?
...God knows, I have enough qualms with my daughter having to deal with the fallout from the Baby Boomers and the so-called "Greatest Generation".
And now I'm going to edge toward the exit, having flippantly heaped scorn on the elders we keep being told we should respect.

Because everyone knows that women crave the quiet shut in guys fixated on anime, manga, and video games.
Though, really, Eh. Let them hit their midlife crises, where they have to put into perspective their own mortality, and the goals they want to accomplish. That, or you know, this being Japan we're talking about, invent better robots. And if your country gains an "android" demographic, I think you kind of stop worrying about your population rate. At least, until the technophobes come out with a "make love not robots" campaign, or something.
It reminds me of the unintended consequences that advertising has. For instance, the Don't Drink and Drive campaign--it's unintentionally cutting into the sales of alcohol. The same way the proliferation of "use protection" messages has cut pregnancy rates among teens, but is simultaneously affecting the overall birthrate, because now unintended pregnancies are also cut down--especially with the variety of birth control methods available, and varying beneficial physiological effects they have.
You get what you ask for, sometimes. And then you get something more, alongside that.

Part of me really wants to agree with this piece, but I can't help but feel there's another reason for Japan's low birth rates. INTERNET RESEARCH HO!
And I just realized I have the perfect video for this situation:

Actually, I think a population slide may not be too bad for Japan. The population density over there looks frankly ridiculous ( though this is coming from an Australian, so take that for what it is...)
Japan could USE some population reduction. They're one of the most dense countries on the planet per square acre.
I also find there is just hilarious pressure on everyone. You spend a ton of time studying because you're supposed to do well in school, but then you're not having a healthy social life. So you try to have more fun but you're ignoring your studies. Or you try to do both, then you're not getting enough sleep.

So you're starting an escort service.Orange12345 said:
OT: I don't think his phrasing is great, but I thin his reasoning is sound. Japan has had this issue for the past several years, where young men would just shut themselves up in their room and not interact socially. I think its reasonable to assume that the growing number of these people is responsible for a declining birthrate.
man japan is super fucked up. imagine someone walking into a macdonalds super duper stoned there, the people in there would shit their pants major.s_h_a_d_o said:

I still think that they are in the xenophobic mentality to allow a "impure" that ISNT a Japanes to inseminate anything.Tiamat666 said:
