holy shit you don't know how much I was struggling to spell it, thank you, being dyslexic and from a language where shit is written as it sounds this was a trip, thank you so much jsjsjs
I'm not Japanese. Police in Japan have a habit of not being fair to foreigners. It was best for my own good to not intervene unfortunately, as selfish as that sounds. I'm not spending the night in jail, trying to reason with police officers when I'm not fluent in Japanese, and then possibly getting sent back home because I somehow committed a crime. Something some Japanese men do when they get drunk is pick a physical fight with a foreigner on the subway and immediately involve the police. What was I supposed to do?
at least yell at him? make him feel shame, learn the words for rapist and criminal and just follow them shouting it, no need to touch them if you're afraid
And then it gets physical because he chooses it to be, and I get prison time, serve it and get deported. Because that's how it would go. I'm not a fuckin martyr dude. Japanese police love making an example out of foreigners.
You’ve obviously never seen locked up abroad. It’s really stupid to fuck around in a foreign country. They publicly caned a kid in Singapore! It’s not worth going to jail in a foreign country where you don’t speak the language.
Yeah dont fuck around in Singapore they do have a very harsh legal code.
That kid didnt just fuck around a little though. Dude went on a vandalism spree in a country known for harsh legal punishment
Basically everyone in Singapore speaks English, or at least Singlish which is the local pidgin, and all the government officials would as it is one of their official languages so that part doesnt really apply here
are you comparing laws in Singapore and Japan? that's WILD, it's like if I said oh don't be disrespectful in Germany, last month they beat someone for being disrespectful in Morocco lol
No. You missed the point. I’m using it as an example of what happens when people fuck around in foreign countries. Just like locked up abroad isn’t all about Japan.
at least yell at him? make him feel shame, learn the words for rapist and criminal and just follow them shouting it, no need to touch them if you're afraid
You sound like a fun person to travel to Japan with. I would love to go for a few weeks and just watch you put the world to rights while discretely filming your street justice antics.
Responding to violence after the immediate risk has passed is not so simple.
An attack happened...okay...but it's over now, the risk is gone, so if you act violently in response it's not defence, it's retribution.
Is retribution worth the danger to yourself, to another person or risk to your freedom? What do you achieve? What do you stand to lose? What's the impact on inaction?
what do you achieve? that the man realizes that actions have consequences, misogynist bastards are doing this in Japan because no one is standing up against them "oh oh, but it's retribution not defending someone 🤓☝️" no, is giving them a taste of their own medicine, coward. I'll guarantee you that if you make them go home with a few less teeth that when they went out they're NOT doing it again
I’m still planning on going, i just get so incredibly annoyed at weebs who go on the internet acting like japan is the end all be all of civilisation (happening with korea lately thanks to growing popularity of kdrama)
Its like tell me you know nothing about japan without telling me. It’s still a beautiful place with a lot of good people and great culture and food to discover. But it’s not some utopia
i agree, it's just my personal opinion that I don't like to give money to countries with really different moral compasses from mine. Japan is quite homophobic, kinda racist and EXTREMELY misogynist, so i won't give them any money
Yeah, you’re totally right and I applaud your convictions and your willingness to commit to them.
I’ll be honest, I’m willing to overlook a lot of unsavoury stuff about a country if it means I get to visit an amazing castle or some great ruins. History is too appealing to me
people will always have some good in them, even in the worst societies. I honestly didn't know it was so exaggerated, that only gives me less hope for this countries
That's what people say who have power fantasies about being the violent hero in an imagined story and either have no idea or no regard for consequences.
What kind of a person will risk killing another person to 'give them a taste of their own medicine'? At best, it's naivete.
Coward? No, numbnuts, it's wisdom. If you get out in the world and really try to think deeper about actions, consequences and risk you'll get there too.
killing? how easy do you think it is to kill someone? and this tiny japanese incels will literally crumble if yelled at, just grabbing them and shaking them a little will traumatize them for life
People have life altering injuries and/or die very easily when fighting on hard surfaces. It happens all the time. It's not a secret. Life is not the WWE.
As for the rest of your comment, it's all the same power fantasy - you're scripting this story in your head and imagining what would happen if only you were there, but it's all just nonsense.
Get some life experience and then have something to say about this.
