To people who call Japanese manners “oppression”:
No. It’s just how we live here.
We sort our trash. We keep our voices down on trains. We take our shoes off inside. We try not to bother the people around us.
Nobody made these rules to hurt your feelings. Most of us don’t even think about them. We grew up with them.
Japan has a lot of people living in a pretty small space. Things work because people understand that public space doesn’t belong to them alone.
You don’t have to like every custom here. That’s fine.
But if being expected to respect the people around you feels like “oppression,” maybe Japan just isn’t for you.
Japan is a country, not your personal stage.
