  • Oh but porn has nothing to do with child sex trafficking or child porn.. nooooo. How can porn not be related to child porn? If there's porn using young women who ARE of age to make them look like they're 12, doncha think that the porn makers make it with young teens? I would think so. Anything for the almighty dollar.

  • @TheNobleKryptoness sorry for late reply, its clear its bad for women in Japan, and I also did find that the possesion of child porn is legal (the rest is not, but correct me if Im wrong, like distributing is illegal. Also I recall Japanese parliament had wanted to adopt a bill with strciter laws on pornography last year it was I believe, and I was amazed there was lots of criticism on that. Anyway, learned from your comments! Rapelay, yes I heard of that, really disgusting!

  • @Tuckercrew It is disturbing, I agree. I came across a blog and the writer translated some Japanese from pornographic films.. the women were saying, 'no' and 'don't'... they were blatantly being abused. I didn't realise the position of women was so bad over there either and it seems accepted. Japan also produced the Rapelay video game, in which, a male stalks and rapes a mother and her two daughters, they're then kept as sex slaves and one can get them pregnant and give them forced abortions.

  • @Tuckercrew A few westerners here on Youtube tell of their experiences of living in Japan, too. One woman advised other women to not publicly confront 'chikans' (public molesters) because there's a chance that one will be penalised for doing so.. there's a chance that one would be ignored in work and left out of meetings etc. Some men have said how they've stepped in to help Japanese women from being molested because nobody else does and these men are surprised about how silent the women are.

  • @TheNobleKryptoness amazing, Im gonna see if I can find something about that, too. I know someone that lived in Japan for a while and she felt unsafe there as a woman.

  • @TheNobleKryptoness damn, the child porn stuff is disturbing, Im gonna look a bit into Japan and this, and I agree, and again, Im baffled Japan is so behind and the position of women is bad.

  • @Tuckercrew According to the Japanese government, making the possession of child pornography illegal, would "infringe individuals’ freedom of expression"... there's obviously no concern about the victim's freedom! I think it's more of a case that crimes aren't reported/recognized, rather than Japan being safe. Domestic violence wasn't addressed by the government until the early 1990s and from what I understand many women don't speak about about abuse because they fear they will be blamed.

  • @Tuckercrew I recently saw a video about a Japanese cannibal that would target foreign girls that worked in hostess bars, in Tokyo. Although he filmed himself drugging and raping more than 150 girls, he's free... the bars are owned by the Yakuza and apparently the police are easy to bride... a guy that used to work in one of the bars spoke out about it all. Scary stuff indeed.

  • @TheNobleKryptoness Hi, NK, I agree with you the proporners are difficult to deal with due to their limited grip on reality, you word that well, thats exactly how they are and why its so draining to relate to them on YT, I understand you changed your account, I did that too. Im appalled in Japan child porn is legal, wow! And the rape porn, I heard about that. And then Japan is named as 1 of most safe countries in the world. Wonder what parameters they use. Scary stuff.

  • Lydia is such an amazing woman... she's been raped, imprisoned and tortured for speaking out, yet she is still so full of love and life... I love her!

    Here's another discussion with her that you might like: Fora.tv - Lydia Cacho Goes Undercover in the Global Sex Trade.

  • @Tuckercrew Yeah, I (I have a new channel, I deleted the old one, mainly to break all communication with the pro-porners etc... I found them draining and difficult to communicate with, due to their limited grip on reality) saw that not long ago. The fact that the possession of child pornography is legal in Japan, that rape in pornography is mainstream 'entertainment' and that women can be sexually abused in public and little is done about it, says a lot about Japanese society.
