This moment of micro-aggression further proves that Queer Eye Japan was meant to appeal to viewers outside of Japan, rather than its Japanese audience they are trying to save.
Queer Eye is becoming more prominent than ever, with each of their cast members having millions of followers on social media.

To quickly remedy this season, remove the cishet Japanese woman, cast a queer Japanese individual, and make them the expert of all cultural conversations.
My queer Japanese culture is not your toy.
