    Getting the sense the OP wouldn't be getting nearly as much flack if they worded their post better. "Japanese school uniforms" would have been a much better choice of words than mentioning anime in any way.

    With this character's death, the thread of prophecy remains intact.

    Is because the post would be had been made more ambiguous, as mentioned before, the stereotypical serafuku is being phased out IRL (along with the related competition onepiece swimsuit). But yeah Anime (or perhaps just the Moe Highschool style) does seem to be a point of contention lately and I'm sure school uniforms would had been different in the Meiji or Edo era than the Heisei era, but I'm certain some would still see the intent of the thread anyway.

    During the Meiji era is when public schools started adopting the sailor suit uniforms for students, though... however it was in the Taisho era where it became really popular
    in the Edo period they wore more traditional kimono.

    (you would not believe how hard it is to find this information..it's all Meiji westernization MANCHUKUO WWII in English history books..ugh)

    The difference being in anime, the clothes are extraordinarily tight and the skirts are shorter than a long pair of briefs. Normal Japanese school clothes wouldn't fit in any better though, and I'd still see a lot of opposition to the idea. It's no different from asking for a uniform from anywhere else in the world to be implemented (see below image), other than some people having a "thing" for Japanese school clothing.
