Are there no right-wingers in Japan or are Japanese right-wingers different?

I think it's very interesting how it's extremely common in anime to have LGBT characters and men with feminine appearances and there's no complaints about it.

It's also very common for female characters to be able to fight monsters several times bigger than them and there's no complaint or insinuation that men are being ridiculed. It's interesting because in the West, if a story focuses on LGBT people it will most likely be attacked by right-wingers. The same thing with female characters, if a woman can fight and defeat something bigger than her =woke. Why is there this difference?

First not all of japan is anime q ite tue opposite actually.
Second japans right wing is in a way more ultranationalist and pro imperialism. There are of course conservatives as well but these are generally not as much right wing as conservatist are more centralised than in many western worlds today, where they drifted to the right.
Third and a huge important part, lgbtq right in japan are far behind most western states. There is bassically no national protection or even legal recognisation for same sex couples.
That being said not all not highly masculine men are lgbtq. Specifcically in many Asian countries.

Going back to anime and manga, in most anime and manga especially the big ones heterosexuality is by far the norm. Even going as far as seing homosexuality or transsexuality as jokes and ridiculing them. So all in all japans right is different yes, but they exist and in terms of lgbtq rights japan is behind a lot of western countries.

Right wing type movements are usually associated with some type of militant nationalism and as you know after world war II militant nationalism was just a tiny bit out of favor in Japan. That's my theory anyway.
