50 percent men are herbivore
they have no interest in women whatsoever.
They don't approach women , don't want to date women , don't want to marry
This is why male prostitution is a big thing in Japan and many women visit male prostitutes.
OP you are being misleading. Men are clearly interested in women and want to date/marry
They just don't approach because they are confident of being rejected.
High enough IQ to see it's a waste of time to keep at it: high risk low reward.
If some LARP about "not even interested" that's either cope/denial or just trying to give a quick answer to an annoying question.
When people ask incels "why don't you approach women?" ...
... they're usually being either disingenuous (they already know why)
... or legit don't know, meaning they were too low-IQ to figure it out on their own, and are probably too low-IQ to understand the real answer.
So a Japanese man who gives legit answer is 99% of time going to waste his time: tell someone incapable of understanding or who is asking in bad faith to entrap/embarass not help
Japan is perhaps the only country in the world with no anti-male laws. Rape is apparently legal in Japan -
So, Japanese men have least amount of risk in dating or approaching women.
But still they have no interest in women whatsoever.
As evidence you link to an April 2019 thread by banned user blackcel?
The article he linked isn't even active anymore I had to find an archive to see it.
@blackcel is a lazy post creator, he didn't even use quote tags properly: when an article has a named author you should be using that author's name when construction a quote:

Hundreds of women in Tokyo protested two recent court rulings in which the judges recognized that rapes had occurred but allowed the perpetrators to walk because the victims could have offered more resistance.
Under Japanese Criminal Law, sexual offenders cannot be punished only for committing non-consensual sex.
To win convictions on charges of forced sexual intercourse, prosecutors must prove that the attackers’ excessive violence or intimidation made it “extremely difficult” for the victims to put up resistance.
This is not "rape is legal" just a law in 2019 (which has probably changed by now) preventing spurious application of rape charges based purely on say-so.
You could still get charged under other crimes:

The lower court handed down the ruling of guilty to Hideaki Ishii, in his 50s, for groping a 19-year-old woman in 2005 during his commute on the JR Yokohama line. After a second trial in 2007 that upheld the initial court decision, the Supreme Court rejected Ishii’s final appeal last year in December. After three and a half years’ legal battle to prove his innocence, the former sales executive of a leading corporation will be incarcerated later this month for a term of 1 year and 6 months.
Ishii’s nightmare began in the train on Jan 21 in 2005, when a young woman shouted that he was a groper. He was immediately apprehended on suspicion of violating the nuisance prevention ordinance. Two months later, he was indicted for indecent assault, and the lower court later found him guilty.
It just means they have a higher standard of proof for indecent assault as compared to rape.
