Japanese Man’s Viral Hot Takes On LGBTQIA+ And Infidelity Triggers Mixed Reactions
Popular TikTok account Yurichan | Yuriko Toba (@i.am.yurichan), known for Japanese street interviews, is going viral due to a man’s hot takes on the LGBTQIA+ community and “cheating” on one’s significant other.
When asked how he felt about the LGBTQ+ community, he responded that he had no negative feelings and was accepting of everyone. He confessed he had had gay friends and even went to a hotel with one and had “normal sex” to experience the world for himself. While it made him realize he is not gay himself, he considered it a good experience and has remained an ally.

While the man is praised for his refreshing openness to sexuality, a previous video featuring the man was not received as kindly. The previous video, which has 465.2K videos currently, spoke about the controversial stereotype that Japanese men tend to cheat. He claimed it was true, but he wasn’t guilty of it. On the other hand, he didn’t believe going to a brothel counted as a form of cheating.
@i.am.yurichan Do Japanese men cheat on their wives?😭#japanlife #japaneseculture #interview #interviews #japan #japanculture #japantiktok
Most netizens couldn’t agree with the man’s opinion on this topic. Many said if it was the other way around, and women had gone to a male brothel or even a strip club of some kind, men would consider it cheating.
What’s your opinion on these hot takes?
