    Personally, considering the low volume of Tildes, I'd rather have questions than not. Not everyone will agree, but I'd rather someone ask a well-intentioned question and receive a good answer here.

    I fear that even a well intentioned question, or a well intentioned opinion, can be overwhelming or tiring or even inflammatory.

    The US isn't all that conservative on the whole. While some rights are backsliding, it's easy to say the US is still one of the best places in the world to be queer. Despite the bigotry, the American queer scene is the global leader. Almost every country in the world uses English queer terms for a reason.

    Also, economics and social policies are separate axis. Communist countries are historically some of the most repressive places in the world when it comes to queer and minority rights.

    It’s not random online reviews and stores staffed by high schoolers there

    ...?

    Random buzz on Twitter is extremely effective marketing in Japan, and the common electronic stores like Bic Camera aren't going to have expert curators for clerks. Plenty of shopping is done online which is why Rakuten and Amazon are so huge.

    They do tend to worry more about aesthetics though.
