Of course there are kooks from everywhere.

Well, find out who complained, then lock the fragile little snowflakes up in a “safe room” until the event is over.

Japan has a very strong and ancient culture.And yet “progressives” demand that this fact be hidden...denied.Sounds like racism to me.

Japan isn’t inviting in thousands of savages into their country like Germany is....

And the PC crowd cannot shame them into doing it because Japan will essentially tell them to F-Off.
