To become a journalist, you have to have the kind of personality that makes me not want to hear a single fucking word that leaves your mouth.
They all have god complexes, they are full of themselves, have these retarded ideas, are pompous cunts, etc. But that's needed to get ahead in a business like media. So by the time they reach their goal, it's like... why are you fucking alive?

I read the book of this dude. He is white (or something, Shekelsteinberg) and became the first white journalist writing in Japanese for a proper actual Japanese newspaper.
Some parts of the book were really interesting. The part about the process of becoming a journo in Japan, his struggles with misunderstanding the culture (like he went to an important event wearing a black suit and everyone assumed he was going to a funeral, because there you wear dark blue for work lol).
But then it all spiralled into the dickbag having two children he barely even knew because he developed this god complex and wanted to save totes unsuspecting poor white women who went to Japan to "work" and had nooooo idea that involved selling pussy for the yakuza. He was so proud of himself for being a hero too!

They all just become shitty ass people.
