Do you seriously think this? Firstly, Japan (like most Asian countries) is still very socially conservative, so homosexuality and feminism are clearly not the problem. Secondly, Japanese work culture is hellish, and they are *still* dealing with the consequences of their economic bubble that popped in the early 90s. Combine this with stagnant salaries, relatively high COL (unless you live in the countryside or something, but let's be real, everyone wants to live in Tokyo, Osaka, etc.), poor support for working mothers, and just general disinterest in dating, and obviously the birthrate will decline.
"Japan is the last stronghold for human civilization."
Give me a fucking break. I would be shocked if you weren't completely miserable if you moved there. There are great things about Japan, but there are many reasons most expats leave the country after a few years.
