Sigh, Japan...
Woah woah hold on there buddy. You wouldn't blame Australia when some Australians are sexual assaulters would you?
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.
