What image did you have of Japan?

[kijo]

One of the biggest Japanese mass media group ,
the Mainichi Shinbun , Mainichi Daily News - Notice
have been for over five years sending horrible articles on
Mainichy.jp , Mainichi Daily News - Japan News
about Japanese girls and boys , women .

The Mainichi and the wrighter Ryann Connell has written on the page
WaiWai , Mainichi Daily News - Notice
about Japanese common live and tradition .
They wrote that Japanese are doing beastaliy ,
Japanese girls are sexomaniac ,
Japanese boys are homosexual and getting maternal blow job
and other crazy articles about Japanese and their tradition .
But none of these articles are reality ,
Mainichi Shinbun and Ryann Connell have brought this articles from
pornograhies and their fantasy .
Recently , in Japan the crime of foreighners against Japanese kids
and women has been increased ,
but this is understandable , when we think that Maninichi Shinbun
and Ryann Connell has written these silly fantasy
on web as "real News of Japan" .
I myself am a Japanese woman living in Japan ,
and I can tell that none of these articles are reality .
I am now afraid of going abroad and meeting foreighn men ,
and so am I afraid that little Japanese kids and other women
getting violated by foreighn men .
But for me it looks like that the employee of Maninchi Shinbun
are enjoying these situation around the poor Japanese kids and women .

I tell again .
Don't believe anything what "Mainichi jp" and Ryann Connell
are telling about Japanese , especially about kids and women !

Here is an old saying, but a very wise one:

"Believe nothing that you read, and only half of what you see."

With the advent of the internet and 24 hour television news stations, newspapers are dying a painful death. But they aren't going quietly, they'll say anything and everything they can to be provocative enough to get people to buy a few more copies.

American papers such as the New York Times, Washington Post, and San Francisco Chronicle have been running in the red (losing money) for years now, the companies which own them only keep them going for the sake of "principle", which is beyond ironic.

Wai Wai was tabloid news, yellow journalism.

The stories were openly bought and translated from tabloids in Japan.

Read that again.

These were stories translated from Japanese tabloid magazines that pass off the same articles as news in Japan.

If it is good enough to publish in Japan then it is good enough to translate to English.


Wai Wai was often funny, usually tasteless and, I beleive, mostly harmless.

Are young girls selling thier bodies to buy nice clothes in Japan. Sure!
Is mother-con pornography gaining popularity? Sure!
Does beastiality happen? Sure!

No one would mistake those to be Japanese traditions, but extreme cases...that's why they are in the "news". If these were real traditions they wouldn't be newsworthy, would they?

And may I pick up the mirror and point out that statements like "Recently , in Japan the crime of foreighners against Japanese kids
and women has been increased ," C'mon...the only thing that has increased is people like to blame foreigners when a crime is commited (often when the victim doesn't want the bad guy to be caught).

I am now afraid of going abroad and meeting foreighn men ,
and so am I afraid that little Japanese kids and other women
getting violated by foreighn men .

Who is the one that has lost touch with reality?

Please, live in fear of foreigners in the safety of your home. We don't need anyone with this attitude here.
