You need context from the show to get this meme. This episode is a satire on how women who molest minors are treated differently and how some people are inclined to congratulate the molested instead of seeing them as victims.

It's not nice, and we need to view the attitude of situations like this being "nice" as messed up. Hence the meme.

Yeah, last point is very true. I can already tell this girl is gonna have a good father regardless if he applies anything from this thread or not, given he cares enough and has the humility to ask.

Yeah cheating and paying for sex etc while married are basically viewed as the same thing in most western countries. I meant Japanese culture in particular often views them separately.

Given how Japan is not an outlier in this list, I'd bet this survey was worded to imply cheating specifically, or used a translation for "infidelity" that is only used for deceitful cheating and isn't used to refer to paid sex services. There are mixed opinions in Japan on paid sex while married though, so some may not take any issue with it at all, for others it'd be the same as cheating, and for most it'd be in a sort of grey area in between.

You're thinking of exceleration. I don't know what acceleration means, though

Yep, but those are paid services. Most women would probably prefer their men don't go to places like that, but (edit: in Japan) paying for sexual services is considered very different from cheating. It's a job and transactional in nature. Find another romantic partner and that's a very different issue/transgression.

I mean, I can see where you're coming from but locker rooms are a significant part of sport.

Comradery is built in locker rooms and they are where young athletes spend a large portion of their sporting time. This is especially true for certain sports needing significant prep time like (ice) hockey.

With young people already facing a loneliness crisis, we don't need to be isolating them further to solve a non-problem.

Imagine you got a job offer where health care is not a given. I don’t expect to have any health problems, but if it happens, and my insurance won't cover (all of) it, wow it would suck to live there.

It’s almost like you’re missing ~~some kind of essential form of~~ medical care.

There are some fields like computer science where the pay in the US has the potential to be much higher. But, it really has to be—and significantly so, imo—in order to make the reduction in or outright lack of guaranteed services something acceptable.

You're reminding me of when I was in my teens and discovered 1kg M&Ms bags on Amazon...I bought 3. I wonder how many years off my life that accounts for...
