The 'Japanese Breeding Visas' hoax is a recurring internet rumor and satirical trope claiming that the Japanese government is offering special residency permits to foreigners in exchange for helping increase the country's declining birth rate. Often circulated through fake news headlines or out-of-context social media posts, the meme plays on Japan's real-world demographic challenges and the internet's obsession with Japanese culture. While completely fabricated, it frequently goes viral on platforms like TikTok, X, and Reddit, typically accompanied by videos of people 'packing their bags' or reacting with mock excitement. The meme serves as a commentary on sensationalist misinformation and the persistent tropes surrounding the 'weeb' subculture's idealized view of moving to Japan.
