No one is forcing you to watch it. Also saying those things doesn’t make you look cool.

It isn’t “sex with minors”. It’s rape, children cannot consent to sex.

Minor doesn’t mean children. Don’t mix everything together.

Technically, you can’t save electricity. Energy is generated whether totally consumed or not.

What we are doing is limit the usage so we don’t go over the capacity and prevent brownouts or blackouts.

He’s the weakest President ever. Being indicted over petty crimes loke he’s a nobody. How can US expect him to lead them towards anything if he can’t even protect himself?

What if they were gaijin? I dare not imagine

There's a TV show that appears to insinuate that the guy only did that because he copies acts from other countries.

In the end, it's still the gaijin's fault.

The problem here is the prosecutors argues she “conceals” them. She did not.

Posted in: Top court acquits Vietnamese trainee of abandoning stillborn twins See in context

Technical trainees are here to learn skills through work, not to start a family. 

Family has nothing to do with learning or work. If it has, the world will not produce any child.

Return in Japan so we can incarcerate you and make your life a living hell.

We don't want to arrest a 17-year-old on his birthday for having a girlfriend who is still 16, for example.

In Asian cultures, having a boyfriend or girlfriend doesn’t mean they are having sex.

Posted in: YouTuber-turned-lawmaker expelled for missing Diet sessions See in context

It’s not like he’s absent because he doesn’t want to go to work. He couldn’t attend diet because he’s not in Japan in fear of persecution. Technically, he’s a political refugee.

Posted in: Teens made up over 40% of Japan child porn offenders in 2022: police See in context

The agency believes the increase is owing to the prevalence of smartphones and social media

Wrong. The increase is because they are only catching the easy ones - teens and smartphones. They are largely ignoring the serious ones that are not reported because they are difficult to catch and won't help in their job promotion.
