    Because of the title and the comments trying to talk about Japanese culture and idolizing this being that I think it’s fair to mention that we shouldn’t attempt to replicate this as it is endemic in Japan and widely socially acceptable

      You have very little connection to the post’s actual subject. No one wants/needs to read this under a nice story about baseball, ffs. AFAIK nothing about the post is meant to prove a point. Some people dont have their trauma/threat receptors completely blown out from years of desensitization, so you can imagine why following this wholesome story up w/ “Mmm statistikully speaking, methinks she’s lucky not to be molested. Checkmate libs 😏” would be… jarring.

      This is why women dont come to you when harassment happens. You see a girl in a news story and immediately think of the possibility of her being r-ped. You’d absolutely have a different line prepared if the subject was a Japanese male

        My issue is that the comments and title are contributing to the idolization of Japan which ignored the actual issues. Maybe I didn’t phrase that frustration correctly. You’re not wrong about that but the reason I commented that was because I am starting to get more and more angry at the complete whitewashing of Japan that these posts always seem to be incurring
