These isekai titles are getting too much.
Wasn’t one of the regions an allegory about colonial Korea and how they weren’t grateful for being colonized?

@Even_Adder @alphacyberranger Unrelated, but wow does it feel cool seeing an article I wrote years ago randomly liked when I check out the Fedi on a random morning!
While it has never been confirmed to be the case to my knowledge, a LOT of folks thought it was for sure.
I think you laid it out pretty well. There was no motivation given, the people were just bad because they were bad. It didn’t sit well with me, and a short while later I found all this and the pieces fell into place. It’s pretty ugly stuff and the kind of thing you issue a retraction for, and to my knowledge there is none.
Edit: Bro had to be aware of the problems and let it go to print, then on air with no alterations.
Just for a tweet from 2 years ago? Seems a little extreme. Was this person that influential that people actually started thinking this?
Japan has really strict defamation laws. You can somehow get in trouble just for staying verified facts if they make someone look bad. Japan is fucked.
If you can verify a fact its not illegal unless in very specific circumstances.
Calling someone a pedophile without any proof and just because you hate them is very obviously not ok and will get you in legal trouble in almost every country in the world.
Illegal things are illegal on the internet. Slander is illegal.
Slander is spoken. Written, it’s libel.
And there’s a difference between libel and stating facts about someone that they don’t like. I can’t say for certain which those tweets are, especially since I can’t actually read them right now.
You may as well sue everyone then, especially on the internet and even more so on Twitter. To sue randos on the internet as a famous person because someone said something bad about you is just wild and petty, unless it did considerable harm to your reputation.
Calling other people pedophiles without anything backing that would get you a lawsuit even in USA, in every other country in the world much more so.
Its good that you cant just talk whatever shit you like about a person, especially regarding such extreme topics like pedophilia.
It’s not because internet become the wild west that bringing law is “wild and petty” defamation is illegal irl, and on internet.
Almost thought reading some anime title.
I only saw the first few episodes but seemed nice to me.
Good
Good.
