She's such a fully mediocre human being (good at tennis, mind), that I suppose she represents all that "modern" Japan, and indeed much of the modern "Westernized", "globalised" world has to aspire to... :-/
One thing I will say, though, is that she is almost certainly on the spectrum, so I guess at leat she has that in common with, uhh, some terminally online posters on this forum, lol (sorry guys)...
She claims to be "depressed". I'm depressed, and that ain't it. Sure, depression can make you behave like a selfish jerk at times, and I suppose I'm not an über-privilege half-cast multi-millionare, but... I don't think depression is an appropriate excuse for the behaviour she has exhibited, honestly...
I guess anxiety might explain some of the shit she has said and done, but again, I have crippling anxiety, and I know that it's not an acceptable excuse that I would use to cop out of a crucial part of my "job", lol...
But anyway, worse things have already happened, outside of the ceremony, at these stupid games, so, eh, this is not the most worrying part of it all (Rapinoe, etc), for me at least.
Though the fucking drone cloud... Is not a great sign, IMHO... Surely one need only look at umm, any sci fi, to see that a weaponised cloud/swarm of those fucking things can very easily be turned against any who question the status quo, no??
Tin foil off, lol.
Not sure I agree with this. I also have anxiety, and I've told my boss as much and taken a day off to gather composure at times. I can't work right under conditions where I'm feeling especially anxious, and it's better for me to be more focused on another day.
