I watched a video about this guy. Just awful, absolutely deranged bullshit they did to him. Marketing suffering.
A good description of modern day japan
This is the most capitalist thing i ever read about.
How in the blasted fuck this entire thing is legal to begin with?
This is what happens when the USA drops two nukes at you
Plus he lived in fukushima
Or when you get your ass kicked hard by Korean guerillas

Writers coming up with ideas to make dystopian fiction of ebil gobernment vs capitalist reality being worse
The north Korean movie Story of a Blooming Flower has its Japanese protagonist enter a TV show where, to boost ratings, people are put in danger of death.
I thought that was just exaggeration, but I guess it’s not.
Can someone enlighten me on this Nasubi guy? I’m a wee bit confused.
There was a TV show in Japan that depicted him being forced to isolate from society for a long long time, where he could only inhabit a really small apartment, naked, where he could only eat/wear/use things he won in sweepstakes. Since most sweepstakes are scams, it didn’t go well for his physical or mental health (understatement). He was once told that he was done with the challenge and was led to believe that he’d be free. Instead they made him do it again.
that’s awful :(
In a more relaxed and humane setting something like it more akin to Man v Wild or something could have been a good proof-of-concept of how sweepstakes are mostly scams. Thing is, he didn’t know what he was getting into and they gaslit the shit out of him while he was starving etc. Like someone else said, it’s unclear how this was considered legal and not straight up kidnapping.
oh. damn bro. that’s just. brutal.
Kaiji was a documentary all along.
