Positive / Negative toward: the revised Imperial House Law's female-royal status and male-line adoption rules
Positive points
Keeping the male-line succession tradition matters, and it has lasted for a long time.
This revision deserves credit, and I hope the government keeps it up.
Good to see the people pushing for a female-line emperor lose.
Negative points
The female line should be allowed, so the eldest child, including a female royal, can inherit the throne.
The government pushed this through too fast without enough public understanding or respect for the imperial family.
Making ordinary people royals through adoption feels wrong and may go against the constitution.
