Cw racism and self harm (in replies)
Its kinda heartwarming to see people of many languages agree this is messed up and criticizing Japanese racism

There is indeed always a sort of liberation in being able to associate with other if you are either othered yourself or asked to dehumanize the other, which is why I think so many progressives (and especially queer people) tend to associate themselves with Japan, because the media they produce gives them both an outlet and an out of certain social cycles.
Still, even in that situation, I do think that it is now Japan mostly is because it is seen as the only respectable other with qualities that can be emulated or even looked up to even as it is romanticized and fetishized. There used to be some others, at one point it was Sufi Islam in West, India and its spirituality and now there is also China but Japan does remain the only one that is a "Honorary West" that even in progressive people either appeal to certain underlying prejudices or otherwise sidestep them.
I agree with that
