A note regarding the world situation and Rule 7 (“Keep it on-topic and relevant”)

Recently the moderation team has been seeing a lot of impassioned conversations about the cultural climate in various parts of the world. We are aware this is a reason many people are looking into moving to Japan, but the focus of this subreddit is the “moving to Japan” part of the equation. 

As such, we'll be removing posts and comments that delve into the details of the global political and cultural situation under Rule 7: “Keep it on topic and relevant”

You're welcome to say that's why you want to leave, but keep the details for another subreddit. This protects all of our members, as this sort of discussion tends to start arguments and can draw in people from outside the subreddit who are only interested in a fight.

If your post is removed for this reason, you have the opportunity to edit out the details and reply to the removal message asking for re-approval.
