Firstly, let me set the backdrop to today's topic... So, there's a YouTube video made by two J-Vloggers, SharlaInJapan and Rachel&Jun about their experiences with sexual harassment in Japan, something that unfortunately does happen. I'll post the vlog below:
And as I was watching the video, I was also reading through the comments... Oh boy.
So, I found another vlogger that I watch (Sophie)'s comment saying that she had also experienced sexual harassment on her trip to Japan. Now, on this comment there were a lot of people saying they were sorry that happened, etc. And I also happened to stumble upon this comment...
In this comment, he states that "noisy girls" should be raped because they're "so annoying". (He later goes on to reinforce that this is, in fact, exactly what he is trying to imply)
In an earlier reply to another user, he states that he likes "old fashioned morals and values" and that these "noisy girls" don't deserve respect because they don't adhere to these morals and values he holds so dear.
Okay, so, I responded:
Nothing overly aggressive, nothing even insulting, just stating that I was concerned about his mentality. And he then went on to say that if these girls get raped, it's an act of 'karma'.
Now, I've sat an A level in World Religions, in which we covered Buddhism as our chosen faith. I know what Karma actually is, and I know that someone being raped for being noisy is not "Karma". In the West, we seem to have mistranslated the meaning to be "what goes around comes around". But even by this Western translation of Karma, his comment still doesn't make any sense. What exactly is his point here? Who knows, but he certainly doesn't seem to care that he's wishing rape on people.
So again, I reply:
And of course, the age-old Family Guy reference. The typical neckbeard basement-dweller response when you run out of anything even remotely intelligent to say. Again, I reply, implying that he must be a troll account and that he cannot actually be serious.
So, I get a whole load of harassment in response. Does it bother me? No.
I just calmly reply and repeat the points I've already made in case this guy just doesn't get it...
Note that, until this reply, he believes I'm only 12 years old for some reason...
Yet he still harassed me anyway, showing that clearly he's perfectly okay with bullying a child.
Also note that, as soon as I say I'm not going to reply anymore, I get this reply:
Apparently he does get it, he just wants to be a bully.
Again, this doesn't bother me, and his assumptions about me are entirely wrong.
But still, if he feels triumphant then whatever, right...
It's obviously a cry for attention now, he kicks off once he thinks I'm leaving.
I give one final reply, the last time I give him any of my time.
This is the last thing I say to him...
But of course, he has to reply again
Gross. Gross. Seriously gross. This guy is just beyond help.
I didn't even bother to respond to this, I just straight away reported his account and every comment.
Like, what kind of person brings up the genitals of someone that up until an hour ago, they thought was 12... Major red flag. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy ends up in prison.
The thing is, although I've been able to report him, they probably won't do anything.
He and his gross mentality will be free to harass others online.
I still highly suspect he is a troll account, but others may not be as calm about it as I am...
And I do worry for actually genuinely younger users that he finds
Because God knows what he'll say to them...
So, I'm hoping other people will see this and report him, too. Let's try and get him removed.
So that he can't go after girls online anymore.
Thank you for reading.
