The lack of people going against the established social norms doesn't mean that Japanese are somehow better at separating reality from fiction. Japanese fandom is also known for forcing female celebrities to give a public apology once it's revealed that they dared to have a boyfriend.

Japanese fandom is absolutely better at separating the two. Japanese fans don't dogpile people for enjoying problematic fiction and demand public groveling before they're allowed to enjoy it in peace for five minutes before another anti comes along and demands it again.

You also brought up a specifically IRL problem. None of that is fiction in the first place, that's all IRL cultural baggage and has nothing to do with fiction.

Japanese fandom isn't superior as a whole, I just said they're better at separating reality and fiction. They realize that someone like "le problematic ship" or "le weird guro art" doesn't mean someone is a pedo/sick serial killer IRL and they also realize that someone's gore pixiv isn't going to inspire a serial killer to go out and cook a young woman like a turkey while she "erotically dies" or whatever (it's a whole subgenre where folks are happy to die and get eaten, I don't get the guro thing at all but again, I'm not going to go tell them they're all sick freaks for enjoying something in fiction).

You also brought up a specifically IRL problem.

It's a specifically fandom-related issue. It's not random Japanese people demanding public apologies for their favourite character's actress, it's fans doing this, because they are unable to tell that the actress is a real life person who has a life outside the performance.

Japanese fandom isn't superior as a whole, I just said they're better at separating reality and fiction.

Saying it repeatedly isn't going to make the Japanese fans creeping on voice actresses, artists, and singers disappear.
