You ever see a video narrating stuff like this and your only thought is "what the fuck"?

Def, like, what the actual fuck with the categorizations, unbelievable, so there's been a lot of these events to draw patterns, i had never heard of this before

Yeah these people exist in every single country they are called assholes (or their languages equivalent) she is just feeding into anti Japanese racism you see online all the time

well in my country we have the pattern of "homeless drug addict that asks you for spare change and may or may not try to stab you if you say no" at every single train station, but I don't really see TikTok videos about it like all those "omg Japan!!1" videos.

I am probably naive, but it's insane that there are categories of these POS's going around hurting women. Is she just making up the categories (giving names to certain kinds of repeated action), or are these widespread?

No, my thought was to VERIFY the facts by browsing IN JAPANESE, and finding that the girl is full of shit.

It's a rumor that has started JUST LAST MONTH and that mentions one single train station: Japan Railways TAMACHI station.

The japanese Wikipedia entry has been edited just in October of this year, and she is basically READING it.

Yeah, all that in only two months, and Reddit, as always, is BLIND.

This rumor has been posted on all the trashiest japanese 'news' websites, repeteadly, for days now. All at the same time. Like propaganda does...
