During the Cold War, White men in the West—alongside East Asian men in allied capitalist nations like Japan—were positioned as the primary beneficiaries and stewards of modern industrial civilization. In exchange for loyalty to the liberal capitalist order, they were granted access to economic stability, social respectability, and cultural affirmation. This wasn’t supremacist in the formal sense, but it was hierarchical: White identity remained the implicit norm, and deviations from it were considered peripheral or foreign. Postwar Japan, particularly during the Showa era (1950s–1980s), absorbed many of the same values—discipline, merit, family order, technophilia, and male responsibility—through its close alignment with the U.S. As a result, cultural exports like Nintendo games and anime carried forward a shared civilizational ethos, one that was designed with the sensibilities of White and Japanese middle-class men in mind. These works reflected a world where duty, achievement, and tradition lived comfortably alongside modern consumerism and technological progress.
