Gentlemen, please watch your tone. This is not the language we want to see here.

I will only comment on the zero-crimes claim: while Japan is safer than most other countries (it is the 9th safest country in 2024), it still experiences its fair share of crimes. This site translates crime reports taken from Japanese media. And this article published by Cambridge University takes a legal look at rape in Japan until 2023 when the Penal Code was revised. A recommended read.

Sorry, @thomas

What kind of age of consent is 13!? Even 16 feels too low.

I'd like to echo Thomas, this is a discussion board and we try to keep things civil. You win no points when you let your passion lower the quality of your communication to mere cursing and vitriol. Leave that garbage on social media if you must.

@Akuji Yamamoto I have no idea what you are reacting to, I haven't heard anything recently about this and I live in a "cesspit western country," as you put it.

How bout you go read the OP buddy.

 

[Grandpa Frank]

Respect you elders (long time members) PLEEEESE !!!!! Your teenage temper replies will lead to problems.

This reply also contributes nothing except to annoy people. You were not the original poster (who also did not indicate where he was experiencing this).
In his later reply he mentioned Twitter and Youtube.

I'm locking this thread. My advice:

• Do not rely on social media for well-balanced information.
• Do not post in anger.
