We can tolerate rainbow marketing if it's unapologetically based

Transgender people are less accepted in Japan than in the US

And I guess this is why Chii-tan is strapped up like a Dragon Quest hero

The city mascots in Japan are the only type of advertising that should exist. Cute little creatures who tell you about their town and why you should visit.

Chiitan also supported Black Lives Matter btw: https://soranews24.com/2020/06/18/black-lives-matter-protests-receive-support-from-japanese-mascot-chiitan%E3%80%90video%E3%80%91/

Kind of weird that Japan is so unaccepting of transgender people when "otokonoko" and lesbian relationships are so common in the media.

Or maybe I'm doing a mistake by thinking anime gives an accurate presentation of japanese culture.

I mean I can go on Grindr and have 30 dms from middle aged Republicans in an hour. Half of them will call me crossdresser or femboy. Transphobia absolutely does not preclude exploitation or fetishization.
