Low crime rate, yet women are encouraged to stay as far away from men as possible. To say nothing about how the police react when you report a rape or any other kind of assault. Hmm…

    It’s only considered crime if the police care enough to report on it. So statistically, Japan is very safe for women!

      “Japan is very safe” are words that should be etched onto Abe’s tombstone.

      Hey, 100% conviction rate at least! I’m sure they all did it, and the torture-esque interrogation techniques are sure to bring the truth out!

      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.
