I seriously doubt that SJWism is going to be alive come 2020. Japan has resisted for the last 30 years; they usually see them as laughingstocks and don't bother indoctrinating western values.

Saving face is a huge part of Asian culture, and Japan really wants to show off on the world stage come the 2020 Olympics. How they'll go about this is another matter. Tourists generally scrape the surface of Japanese degeneracy anyway, so it largely goes ignored. (e.g.- hiding away adult paraphernalia until it's over) But their paranoia about it could see things adapted to suit foreigners, at least for the actual year of the Olympics. It'll probably be business as usual after that.

We're still very niche compared to the industry in the homeland, and there's a low chance for the subject to be brought up by the creators themselves. Yes, there are a few companies that change shit for a western audience, but their original Japanese releases stay the same. Worst case scenario is that they'll fuck with the localizations (e.g.- 4Kids-style edits and dubbing). The source material isn't changing. That's also probably why it's unlikely anime will ever truly be accepted like these other mediums that can be shifted and molded by the western vocal minority.

VICE made a documentary where they basically equated maid cafes with pedophilia and prostitution, and not a peep was heard from anybody. Crab went over to the USA and said he doesn't give a fuck what they thought about his magnum opus (Remember: he was asked to tone it down mostly because of obscenity laws). Japan often brushes it off as "casual racism". Female doujin/hentai artists have frequently voiced complaints about censorship.

TL;DR- Just because there's fearmongering doesn't mean that it's immediately gonna happen overnight.

Pic very related.
