Is saving a girl from a molester just a common way to start romances in Manga? Sweet Blue Flowers, My Love Story, and now this.
That's really just an indictment of Japan's problematic view and handling of molestation in the first place. Molestation and assault is so normalized, it's disgusting.
Really? I thought they had women only train cars for that type of thing.
The fact that they need women only train cars should tell you something.
Yeah, that isn't dealing with the issue. The solution would be holding men accountable, which they don't.
They have to be to some degree. I thought I read somewhere that their actual written laws give men harsher punishments.
Are you sure you dont have an antiquated idea of this that still filters around online and isnt reality?
It WAS super bad yes- back in the 70s 80s - but they made a major effort to start capturing and punishing them and making it not acceptable. Last I heard they reduced it by over 80% and dont have or need womens only cars these days.
Now- Im not up to date on the situation- maybe in the last 5 or so years its got bad again- I couldnt say- but as far as I know- the online imagine they still have of this- in part due to things like hentai and porn about groping girls on trains etc- does NOT match the reality.
p.s Not saying it isnt still an issue at all, and is more common than in many countries probably- but nothing like it used to be and certainly not ignored and normalised.
