/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Hey /jp/

Do you think Japan is returning back to the sakoku era, where all foreigners were banned from japan?

It seems to me that they are, because within the last year:
- all foreigners now need to get fingerprinted when entering japan
- you now need to be a resident of japan in order to get a cellphone, this has never been the case before
- mixi, japan's largest social network, now bans essentially all non-japanese or people living overseas (even if they are japanese, lol) from joining
- many japanese websites are now blocking foreign IPs and you need a proxy to access them
- the rising crimerate in japan is being blamed on foreigners more and more, even though the # of crimes vs foreigner population in japan is far smaller compared to the japanese themselves.
- their new prime minister is known for his very anti-foreigner and racist comments
- other shit I can't think of off the top of my head right now

y/n?
