If this was just one or two idiots doing this, I might have passed it off as just idiots. But we're now at our 6th or 7th time that my pattern recognition is kicking in...
Another streamer this time YouTube getting in trouble with Japanese authorities for essentially promoting fare dodging on trains and then issuing a weak ass apology after.
This is happening WAY TOO often with streamers of all people where they are live broadcasting their harassment and even crimes. There is definitely encouragement to do this in Japan but I can't work out if its just idiots going 'I can get attention by being a prick in Japan' or if there's someone higher up directing these idiots there as a way to attack Japanese social cohesion.
Oh, and the biggest idiot of them all, update on him he's getting FUCKED by the authorities there, they are holding him for the maximum detention time then applying new charges to hold him longer. He's getting deported but HE has to pay for his own deportation otherwise he is held at the detention centre till he gets the funds and may be sent to a prison work camp to pay off the debt he owes in compensation for his harassment.
IRL streaming like IP2 and other groups are becoming more widespread by the day, unfortunately. Their entire existence is to be both disgusting watches of people unravelling, but also completely destructive forces on everything around them.
Japan is a very quiet, controlled and head down type society. Its the perfect place to try that kind of crap, especially after that Paul brother made it trendy to do so.
