They most certainly do. However I dont think they care enough to waste effort defending their honor on soil where the relevant institutions don't give a fuck.
It's like a nerd went out of his way to go to the gym and argue with jocks because some Tyrone laughs behind his back.
Doubt. We're talking about a country that:
- Literally had to be strong armed by black ships into opening its boarders
- Got nuked twice during WW2
- Was directly occupied after that
- Suffered a brutal 90s bubble that still affects them to this day
- Gets assfucked by tsunamis occasionally.
After all this they still have their own culture, refuse to apologize for nanjing, enshrine their WW2 soldiers and keep telling refugees and globohomo to go fuck themselves.
Even slowly injecting them with haffus doesn't seem to make them budge.
What could a morbidly obese danger hair do to top all that?
You're right but that is not the point.
The point is that this thing is few sound engineers away from tinkering with modulation until it sounds convincing enough to deploy very convincing deepfakes.
I'd imagine some of it can be even masked by ambient noise in the background or stock wind blows.
It's not like news media would bother anyway. Remember Biden's green screen bullshit?
Elaborate please.
