They can't build a car faster than a corvette
The Japanese are surrounded by buildings all the time so when they accidentally wonder into the forest they're so happy they have to kill themselves for wasting so much of their lives.
>GT-R 315kph
>Corvette 300kph
Japs are soulless machines same as 90% of asians. Their spirit is destroyed thats why they have no empathy and most of them are depressed.
As someone who grew up and attended high school in South Korea, and now in Uni in America, I can tell you that what you read on the Internet is true
>high expectations
>a pool of all prospective college bound kids competing for limited slots in prestigious universities
>testing is extensive for school and for competitive colleges
>family honor is on the line
The mentality is failure is avoidable 100% of the time if preparation is correct 100% of the time- so in high school class is 0700-2000, preparation time is 2000-2200 in study room, and free time is for few hours on Saturday.
tl;dr there are many reasons but academics and pressure to succeed most likely affect suicide in Korea and Japan
It's a different culture. I think it's mostly due to their depressingly materialistic superficiality and claustrophobic over-worked, super-stressed environment.
>straight line
The standard work week is 6 days and they regularly work overtime for no pay.
Godlessness
culture of high and rigid expectations + culture of not expressing your feelings + culture of suicide being less stigmatized than usual (this is changing now)
Ok. My country has close, but not exactly similar mentalities to Japan. AMA.
They have been at it for a long time
Its been part of their culture for centuries
They have popular places to do it
en.wikipedia.org
Its a culture thing
In their classic literature people kill themselves more often than marry.
Probably has to do with their hungry and high competition history on their little rocky island with poor soil, they were killing each other for a handful of rice for ages until industrial revolution gave everyone cheap food.
the rack disaprin
I'll never get /o/'s autism over this
They realize their society is dying.
>try to find female
>females want 10/10 models with spiky hair or 7 figure salarymen
>18-30 year old men: welp
>try to find meaningful work
>none to be found
>men: welp
>cant go to family, father will see it as a shamefur dispray
>men: welp
i cant understand why the women are doing it as the world seems to have yellow fever but the men in nip land are fucked
its either vidya, internet and drinking or suicide forest
Can't make this shit up.
>not a 2012 Mitsubishi eclipse
you fucked that up
They call it fake laptimes. It's usually one guy that bench races the vettes blown motor and it's slow lap time done out of alignment
What about the suicides by people who are no longer in academic settings?
You see, they kill themselves due to long term insomnia
No one sleep in Tokyo
Corvette is for white trash and old men.
Ford GT of the only mercan supercar.
They use to believe suicide was an act of honor or some shit like that, or maybe they wanted to be with their waifus.
I've heard that getting any professional psychology help sucks over there especially because they're so concerned about their image that they wouldn't be caught dead going to see a shrink so they just bottle everything up until it just finally gets to be too much for them and they kill themselves.
I think they're too image-driven to impress others with looks, work, education, etc that a lot can't keep up and just think they're failures at life.
Can kinda relate honestly.
I could only find a 2010 eclipse gt and that has no lap times
>its either vidya, internet and drinking or suicide forest
Meh, they can spend their life a jerking off with state or art onaholes surrounded by state of art waifus figurines catching escspist cartoons and playing games. Living the dream it has to be a culture thing.
I don't know the data but I believe the biggest variance is amongst the high school and college age group, and the factors that have affect are obvious
For adults above the age of 30, I believe suicide rates might not be much different from other nations? I would not be sure if there would be a common factor, however, most commonly would involve finances/relationship problem/mental illness/ altered states
I'm a half Japanese half white hapa living in California.
My mother is the Japanese one, and even I was suicidal and medically depressed for some time. I'm on Prozac right now for depression, and I was hospitalized for a suicide attempt around 8 years ago.
Japanese society is too achievement orientated. Its very "I don't love you, I love your achievements." My mother never showed me much love because my achievements were always lesser than that of my older sister.
I can't imagine what this would be like on a societal scale. Where the entire country doesn't love you, they love your achievements. Combine that with a workplace that abuses its employees, a society that over-values education, a society that doesn't emphasize religion as much as the US does, a society that encourages drinking, and a society that shuns psychiatry. And I'd probably be dead too if I lived in Japan.

As has been said, there's a lot of pressure on people to succeed, and not a lot of support when people need it. The government's been working on improve the situation though, the number of suicides has been dropping for 3 years now.
It's 5 days a week, and OT depends on where you work and your contract.
16hr work on weekdays for the average male aged between 24 and 59
these people live in a false society that they continually allow to perpetuate
western countries tell their kids they can be anything they want. in japan you know from 3 years old you will be a slave to the machine for your whole life. japanese kids don't know anything but concrete buildings, dirty streets, a society that hates macho men, and sexual repression. the only thing with color in their lives is the suicide forest near mount fuji.
>its either vidya, internet and drinking or suicide forest
Usually a combination of all sooner or later.
its funny how non jap ppl think they know soo much about japan when they dont know shit.
It's funny how pollacks think they know anything outside of cleaning toilets in the UK and being fucked in the ass by Russia.
hey japan, love your animations and mangas, don't kill yourself please.
Maybe people are just unhappy.
>Japan
>dirty streets
You clearly have never been there.
Working 6 days a week
While also doing a masters course
I wanted to kill myself.
At least its over now and Ill never bother again for the rest of my life. Fuck hard work.
>lmaoing at females in india
"Shieta pls be wife."
"No pajeet"
"fine I take only clean bottle water in 10 mile radius"
>this kills the Indian female
>not working hard
The eternal Irishman everyone.
nah just kidding. Fuck hard work.
Because they haven't yet been bestowed the wonders of diversity and multiculturalism yet.
DUH!
I've dated multiple Japanese girls while I was stationed at Okinawa.
Married to one of them now and living back state side.
She sometimes has crippling depression because life just seems overwhelming and I'm like
Bitch we got food
>but but we didn't save up enough this year
So you shouldn't think about killing yourself wtf you crazy nip bitch lucky you're cute
Murican women are spoiled as hell...
i'm a japanese student on visa to the u.s, clearly you are a white male who drank the media kool aid about how hip and futuristic japan is.
>male suicide rate almost 6 times as high as female
really makes you squat in confusion
Some are really materialistic like that, especially in their 20s.
You must be living in some buakumin slum over here then, this is the cleanest country I've ever been to.
Many Japanese people are severely depressed if they leave Japan, if you were to ask her what she thought about moving back to Japan she would do a literal 180 in attitude and mood.
Happened to a Japanese woman I know here stateside, she was literally causing herself to have autoimmune disease from stress and depression because she was homesick but didn't want to tell her husband she wanted to go back to Japan
They have realistic worldview.
Life is only worth living, if you are living it for something important. If you fail at that, it is perfectly OK to kill yourself.
In other words - they have not influenced neither by Christian cuckoldry nor hedonism.
if they were honest they would say the sight of black people make them want to kill themselves.
Fuck you too. Hero.
Because they're not niggers and still have some sense of samurai honor in them. That's what the NWO wants to destroy foremost.
is this picture photoshopped? something about it looks warped in a way that draws you in.
I guess the main reason otaku don't fit in is because they are emo?
Higher suicide rate in Worst Korea, Lithuania, Russia, an Hungary.
Based Hungary. Based Russia.
Get fucked, perogie nigger

This is the only good thing I'll say about Japan.
It's about being honorabru. Being honorabru is a concept lost to modern western society. Boomers, genX, millenials, and the facebook generation all have slowly given up the concept of accepting responsibility for committing wrong doing. We make fun of dindus for them claiming didnu nuffin but every fucking body does this now. Play an online competitive game and lose... Do people often say I fucked up or do they more often say YOU fucked up? You know the answer to this one. Someome messed up really good at work... Did they accept dishonor and try to redeem themselves by admitting fault? You know damn well this is rare. We blame jews, dindus, spics, gooks n chinks, even fucking natives for so much bad shit but in the end you know who keeps maintaining the status quo? We all do, man.
So, moral of the story is since japs have no soul but have a huge concept of honor, they kill themselves when they realize they can no longer redeem themselves fully. Consider corroborating this concept the next time you hear some poor faggot claiming he wants to an hero and do the right thing for those around you to prevent noble people from becoming an hero. Admit your fucking fault. No one else will do it for you.
why Japan?
>slavs in 14th place
Why? Not enough vodka to keep Vladimir happy?
So..we should kill ourselves if we lose a video game?
This country is against people.
I wanna know wtf is going on in Guyana
Because their entire society is a big lie. Parents don't love their children and only want them to achieve something that makes them look good. Children don't love their parents and only want them to die and leave their shit. It's a self-destructive relationship.
Because of the stressful work system and societal relations. end of discussion. delete the thread.
>African women have higher suicide rate than men
This just supports my theory that black women can be bleached for the betterment of mankind. It's the black men's seed that fucks up the world.

I don't know jackshit about japanese folk as I'm not a weeb but I heard they have extremely high expectations about hard working and studies
I understand some would rather kill themselves if they cannot stand being excluded from society and disregarder by your family because you don't have the willpower to work your ass off
I know I would
Black women will have black male babies and the story repeats itself at least 10 times. I just destroyed your theory. You do not really understand the difference between race and gender.
Well this is depressing.
Is the only honorable thing to do. *passes tanto*
