DJ Soda, who has more than 5 million Instagram followers, took to social media platforms to slam the unidentified individuals involved.
Sigh, Japan…
Woah woah hold on there buddy. You wouldn’t blame Australia when some Australians are sexual assaulters would you?
Lack of effort to stop sexual assault in Japan is well documented. Victim blaming is common. This is a systemic problem, and if you didn’t know, then now you do.
Victim blaming is common. This is a systemic problem
This, I agree with.
Lack of effort to stop sexual assault in Japan is well documented.
For this, I’d like to see the documentation you cite.
This is specifically for train groping, for one, and literally has a whole section on what they are doing about it. I specifically wanted to know what was being cited here:
Lack of effort to stop sexual assault in Japan is well documented.
Is a perfect example of that insufficient? That is what I gave you… Well, I suppose you could do a basic web search. Meh.
a perfect example
I specifically was asking for documentation about “Lack of effort to stop sexual assault in Japan is well documented”. The article provided mentions the efforts they are making.
I suppose you could do a basic web search. Meh.
You make the claim, you provide the evidence.
The actual reason I ask is that, if this specific sort of thing exists, it would be good to specifically target and fight it.
Yes, it’s like that in much of the world. Australian laws until recently silenced SA survivors for example as I linked down below. It’s good that you’re learning about it and engaging with it. Rape culture must be stopped world over.
Lack of effort to stop sexual assault in Japan is well documented. Victim blaming is common. This is a systemic problem
this is literally true to everywhere on earth
and if you didn’t know, then now you do.
Yes and some places (like Japan) are even worse.
They have women only passenger trains on the subway because they need to not because they want to. Those don’t exist in most western countries that I know of.
Go muddy waters elsewhere
You’re still doubling down on this? My friend, sometimes other people actually do know more than you. But keep trying if you’re enjoying yourself.
I mean, I read this and went, “Goddammit, Osaka,” when I read where this takes place, and I live in Osaka.
Ahhh, that sucks to hear. It seemed like such a nice place while there, but I guess that’s benefits of tourism. All of the cool parts, not around long enough for the bad :(
Any place has good and bad. But it hits different when it’s a place you live.
I mean, the vast majority of people here are not committing sexual assault. There is certainly work to be done with the justice system regarding reporting and prosecuting crimes, but it’s not like Japan or Osaka or Tokyo just condone SA.
Societies today are extremely large, which means it doesn’t matter if a majority does something or not, if a per mille does it’s a massive, society-defining problem.
Australia doesn’t have a well known problem with groping women on public transit as far as I’m aware.
I specifically mentioned Australia due to its rampant rape culture. Just because you’re not aware of it doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
Just because I’m not aware of it also doesn’t make the original post from False any less unexpected, I acknowledge my own ignorance but the point still stands. If it becomes known enough world-wide that Australia does indeed have a rampant SA problem that it become associated with the country as part of it’s “culture”, then it won’t be any weirder to so a “Sigh, Australia…” when an article comes up talking about it.
I think the point he was making is it’s never good to assume the whole country is like this when it’s individuals doing it, and I have to say I agree. That’s the kind of reasoning that led to people attacking Russian-American businesses and homes when the Ukraine invasion started
It is known world-wide. Western media has been covering it for years. I don’t live in Australia and I know about it.
Minimizing the rape culture of Australia only hurts its victims.
Literally no one is doing that. There was no excuses or apologies made for sexual assault taking place in other places. There was no “minimizing” the fact that it happens elsewhere. You are perceiving a slight from nothing, or at best a short post of exasperation that it happened again.
When I say minimizing, I don’t mean you personally making excuses or apologies for SA. Of course you wouldn’t do that.
I’m referring to the societal minimization where despite years of news and research, people still don’t acknowledge it as a widespread problem.
This is exactly why everyone thinks you
hexbearsLenin apologists are obnoxious. You made a specious argument which seems intended to pull a third nation into a completely unrelated story for no reason and then aggressively argue about it when people call you out. Take the L and try to contribute something other than rage for a bit.Bit off topic here, but what’s a hexbear? First time I’ve ever encountered that term.
Woah woah woah. Who’s a hexbear? And stop minimizing rape culture.
Sources: it is known.

There are several countries where I’ve heard of this being a problem, but I’ve never heard this about Australia. Care to share some resources about what you’re referring to?

It’s been a major, major issue reported on by news organizations all over the world, and acknowledged as a huge problem by the Australian government as well…
Depends, are they in Bali?
I rarely grope people, I usually keep my hooves to myself!
But do you often spit on people?
Lmfao, as if rape and sexual assault don’t happen literally everywhere on earth there are men.
But hey, if you single out Japan, that means you can avoid acknowledging the misogyny in your own country/culture right? What a neat and not at all obvious trick that is…
everywhere on earth there are men.
Because it’s just a male thing, right?
In the commotion, she said, it was a woman who grabbed her breasts harder than any of the others involved.
Assholes are assholes, it’s not limited to one sex.
Calls out someone for singleing out a group then proceeds to single out a larger group.
Weird take ig
“SLAM”
She is not only upset, she is VERY upset!
Two men already arrested, guess the third female groper is still on the loose:
"Two men believed to be the suspects appeared in a YouTube video post the same day, apologizing for the incident while adding they were drunk when it happened and did it “lightheartedly.”
“Earlier in the day, the organizer of the event, held in Osaka Prefecture, filed a criminal complaint against two men and a woman on suspicion of indecent assault against DJ Soda on Aug. 13, the police said without identifying the three individuals.”
Ah yes, the country with the lowest sex havers in the world, and also the country where lolicon and shotacon are most favourite genres of anime.
Should’ve nuken‘t them Japanese.
Edit: Wasn’t it obvious that „nuken‘t“ is used as in „nuke not“? Like isn’t is for „is not“
You know what’s crazy? If you hadn’t posted this, I would’ve had no idea at all that you were such a piece of shit. But now that’s literally the only thing I know about you.
I totally agree with you. I thought this was one of the countless meme communities I’m subscribed to with this account.
I only just realized that it was worldnews, but I won’t delete it.
“I thought this was one of my spaces where we’ve decided it’s cool to say shitty things” is a tough sell
Unfortunately, meme communities are where ironically terrible people and actual terrible people mingle and pretend that everyone else is in the same group they are.
Here’s a hint: ironically terrible people are just regular terrible people (perhaps with an added unjustifiably inflated sense of superiority) once they publicly spew their terribleness.
Considering he didn’t delete, I don’t think he’s “selling”
They don’t deserve that much credit (and it isn’t even much), it’s just run of the mill genocidal racism.

Call me edgy McEdgelord. Admire my 2048 layer katana that’s been hand-made by some machine in a Chinese factory with japanese steel and no information about the type of steel used.
A world without mangas and RX-7s? No thank you, nuke yourself instead.

Bro it’s night city.
And?
It’s a danger pretty here in Night City.
Obviously SA is bad, but it’s kinda sad that people like this have to learn the hard way that if you go into a crowd it’s going to happen. Especially in Japan.
