Japanese crime stats are the biggest fucking lie and it makes me so annoyed when people try and seriously use them as reasons that Japan is a perfect utopia. Japan’s criminal justice system is based around the cops just not investigating shit further, or harassing people who try to make reports. But you know what, even looking through that lens, that is exactly what the fascist right wants: A society where women and minorities are treated as playthings and then ignored by the police when they try to get some justice.
