Why, Japan, why?

I can not understand a number of social norms in other countries; I just accept them for being different. America is viewed the same way, whether it be our politics, religion or hell, even the foods we eat. Of all the countries, I believe Japan to makes me scream "why" more than anything else.

Take for example, their idea of porn. Fetishes will always be taboo, but what's with the tentacle stuff? Innocent little girl just chilling in her room, all safe, then - NOPE! Tentacles! It's not even consensual, either. It's as if the kraken grew tired of terrorizing the sea and decided violating little Misyo's orifices with freaking tentacles needs to be done.

On the topic of sex, let's focus on Japan's man to woman ratio. Apparently, due to some jacked up social law and restricted space, having a daughter was not acceptable for a time. Fear of gross over crowding meant death to a daughter, but still cool to pop out sons left and right. Seeing as how homosexuality is out of the question in Japan, most men go their entire lives without having sex. You can now justly refer back to the previous key point involving tentacles being cool. Seeing as how this is a big problem, and a lot of the guys not having tentacles, there must be other ways. This guy, decides that life like sex dolls are the answer. And these men have air sex yes, I said air sex. It's like air guitar, but with your crotch and a lot less private.

Let us now make the giant leap over to food. What the fuck is this Japan?! When I feel the urge for cheap, fast and delicious fast food, McDonalds is first in mind. Golden arches, statistic of how many served, clowns and a worthless mayor that can't catch one criminal. I do not think of said clown haunting me at every turn.

Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of the Japanese culture. The foods are amazing, the women beautiful until a certain age and their technologies are always mind boggling. But the weird stuff always makes me cringe.
