"Wikipedia of all places" doesn't say much of anything. It's an old event and not in the news again. The fact that it's even being edited in the 2020s is an indication that it isn't people with new info to add about the event, but people with a separate agenda going through changing stuff. This goes both ways.
Maybe different cultutes just do reporting in general differently.
Even when explicitly making accusations that could start international incidents they don't DO photos in articles. Accusing someone of taking photos secretly of naked kids is not some minor shit. And the person accused is a public figure and they still don't do photos.

It's important to remember Japan's laws are way different than the west. Truth is not a defense against defamation, for instance. So if you cause reputational harm, even if that shit is TRUE, you can be liable. Boats don't get rocked.
Why are you trying to hard to argue over this? i ask you again , do you think the news outlets in Japan have zero responsibility over Japanese becoming a lot less racist today than they were 90 years ago? You think Japanese suddenly became less racist for no reason at all?
Ok you're just dumb. Op is doing the same mindreading intent-assigning bs he cries about Dom doing to him and I can't help but notice you haven't acknowledged that the just don't do photos in news coverage for crimes, or tried to refute it. You shifted to "why would you entertain that there are other solutions and not just take Wikipedia's word on stuff then assign op's chosen explanation?"
I noticed you haven't answered the question on whether you think the news outlets in Japan have zero responsibility over Japanese becoming a lot less racist today than they were 90 years ago and are changing the topic to something else
You broke the chain of responding to people's posts. And no. I would say things like hearing about Anime, Manga, and other cultural exports becoming popular overseas meaning that overseas people appreciate Japanese culture has a lot to do with shifting views combined with fewer people who have firsthand experience fighting wars against foreign nations. There's also the internet which for most people if they encounter someone foreign it's someone who took the time to learn their language. That probably has more to do with shifting attitudes than pretending westerners specifically are not being shown in reporting.

See how many articles feature mugshots and the like. It isn't many at all if any as of writing this. I'm sure these are joggers, right?
