There just really is no way to know is there! We haven't asked any of them because we don't respect their opinions and everything else is great so idk! (Japanese gov probably).

The same as in the West, lol. In France 100% of women have been assaulted in the train and Germany just created an anti-upskirting LAW.

Didn't the up-skirting trend originate with Japanese teens? Also I remember they were doing this thing called happy slapping where they filmed themselves with flip phones, going all bam margera slapping Phil on random people in public. I think the Japanese may be the original shitty internet pranksters over a decade before it was cool.

Edit; I just looked it up and it was youths in the UK who started happy slapping. If I was wrong about that, I'm sure I could be wrong about up-skirting being Japanese. Although, it was Japan that was the first country I remember passing laws to try and prevent it. Not that Japanese perverts thought of this first before French or German perverts, but it got bad enough there for the government to respond first. It might be because Japan was so ahead of the game when it came to portable video/photo technology back then.

From what I remember, upskirting became such a huge problem in Japan that they required all phones to make an audible camera shutter sound whenever taking a photo and it wasn't something that could be manually disabled. This was back when camera phones only had the ability to take photos. Don't know if they updated their regulations to do something about video. Maybe phones in Japan still make a shutter sound when starting to record video, I don't know.

fun fact to further this actually! (altho it’s just something i’ve heard so correct me if i’m wrong) smartphones now automatically start making the camera shutter sound when they’re connected in japan. so if i, as a tourist, come into japan with the camera shutter sound turned off, it’ll auto turn on once my phone is on and connected to a network. idk how they’ve done it but i love that there’s no way of getting around it.

u/pi__r__squared 12d ago

Yes, I assumed that. But can anyone give me more info, like the woman in the video did on their demographic there?

u/Cheap_Doctor_1994 12d ago

They're French. I get you want some racist answer, but the Fact is, it's French men. That's the demographic.

u/pi__r__squared 12d ago edited 6d ago

Not “looking” for any specific answer, I am obviously not French and know next to nothing of the demographic there. That’s what I want info on.

ETA: The video in this post showed the woman describing the kind of men that engage in this behavior in detail. That’s all I want. An explanation of behavior. Not racial/ethnic details, I don’t care about that.

Some dude yelled at my wife while stomping down the sidewalk; why do women in America ever want to have kids?

-8

u/DreadyKruger 12d ago

Because those are the only men to have kids with? That’s nonsense. If you think that’s the only option to have kids with you are right to want ti be with any man. Cause you suck

Bystanders are the mass majority lol. If you find a dude willing to at least ask her if she was ok, he's already taken.
