People who grow up in one culture have a tendency to not be able to notice it's own flaws.
Moreover they are biased and defensive when weighing them against flaws of other countries.
Yes, rape and lolita porn is a huge issue in Japan, so is the Delivery Health industry, where sex can be sold in all ways short of vaginal penetration.
But, regardless of where you live, I bet you there are equally despicable traits of your own country which measure up to these, regardless of how desensitized to them you may be.
Morally, America has nothing on Japan in the big picture, on a few details perhaps.
To the OP; if you look anywhere, you'll find darkness that sickens you. But if you are blind to it in your own home then perhaps you should withhold judgment.
