> I'm Japanese and I understand this issue perfectly and you don't.

Um, I'm calling shenanigans on this one. You have a viewpoint that seems more like negatively-biased indirect knowledge of this part of Japanese culture.

Were you born in Japan?

Have you lived there as an adult?

Have you frequented スナック and other types of hostess bars? If so, how did you discover them and with whom?

If you’re older, how has the スナック scene changed over your lifetime?
