Pretty sure this person just created an acc to post this, don't bother with them-

It literally says created 2020 to the left lol.

Wonderful, we already had political propagandists with an agenda against China and the Chinese government—who tour all the manhua threads to hate on the country, the publishers and the authors.

Now we have people info-dumping crapola against Japan.

There're links to academic research papers and numerous verified accounts of the systematic abuses perpetrated by the Japanese justice system to force false confessions, as well as abuses and discrimination against foreigners and those perceived as foreign. If you consider that "crapola" you've got terminal weeb brain, sorry.

With people lamenting pointing out ACAB is not just for the US, and someone parroting the myth of "too many police" I think it's fair to counter with facts of how the police there actually act. You don't get the highest conviction rate in the world, above what we would call police states, based almost exclusively on confessions, without being shady as fuck in how they're gotten.

Just cause they don't shoot people in the street doesn't mean they're not cops and are incentivised by the system to get convictions regardless of guilt, so put people under extreme duress with next to no accountability.

The story of Chisako Tezuka provides a recent example of abuse of a suspect while under police detention. Ms. Tezuka was arrested on suspicion of fraudulently obtaining a loan. She was taken to a police station for detention. At the station, she was stripped naked, subjected twice to a genital search, and forced to urinate while male police officers watched. Ms. Tezuka was detained and questioned for 20 days. During her questioning, she was handcuffed and roped around the waist. Tezuka was never indicted because the police found that she had paid back the loan two months prior to her arrest. Ms. Tezuka claimed that the secrecy of the detention system enabled police to treat her with "dehumanizing brutality."

like enjoying funny manga police waifu's is fine like whatever, but the realities of policing is that ACAB around the world, and pretending Japan is exempt because it's hidden away is naïve at best and enables further abuses at worst.

Didn't really expect that people would wanna apply ACAB to other countries.

Butch / Femme dynamics originated in the 50's bar culture as a way of survival - GNC women (gender non-conforming) women couldn't get jobs. I.E. if you had your head buzzed, wore pants or other transgressions etc - so they often found themselves with femme partners (not just romantically) as a necessity of survival.

In turn butches acted as "guardians" - being visible so drawing attention from homophobes, and beating the shit out of them when necessary*. Being Butch or Femme is much more than just how you dress, it's a whole attitude and way of life (at least in the west where it originated).

Also it's not heteronormative. Two women together will never be heteronormative lol.

*see: Storme DeLarverie, who fought police outside Stonewall for 10 minutes while handcuffed, inciting the riot.
