Being a man in japan is different than being a woman in japan. Either way. The maid Cafe isn't the issue. She's just a typical Western woman. The issues in japan are divorce rates. Child abuse. Low birth rate. Secual assault unreported, Hikikomori. Racism. Racially/Ethnically/Culturally segregated restaurants and bars. Unnecessary strict laws that apply to foreigners for the most dumbest reasons with absolutely no respect to their own original culture as an individual. Let's not even get started on the pedophilia issue. OR the religion issue because you guys just love pretending that doesn't exist. And one of the worst ones is how shitty the Healthcare infrastructure is with mental health. Look at the insane numbers of suicide. The problem in japan isn't "am I going to make it to tuesday without getting stabbed?" Like in New York. The problem is. "Why do I tolerate this for good food?"
So other people not being a total slut makes her feel unsafe... Venues where you get served by conservatively dressed maids or cosplay creep her out... In a nation that doesn't even drink at those places. But she hails from a nation where people dress like sluts, drink until their livers bleed publicly, has a rape epidemic due to open borders, has sportsbars where the themes are 'women dress like sluts' and 'will give lapdance for $40'. She is the NPC epitome of why western women are F'd in the head.
I live in birmingham and I havent been involved in any dangerous situation Its been only a year since I moved in but is this something that happens in different cities across england? and how BAD are the crimes? cuz now im freaking scared lmao
London is safe depending where in London, some areas are really dangerous but the good areas are completely safe and the likelihood is that nothing will ever happen to you
@runstarhomer2754 That's because majority of your generation is gay & weak minded! 🙄 Not to mention that your generation can't even figure out which restroom to use!
As a Brit, I would like to visit Japan. People are so polite, nice and friendly. The country functions so well, amazing medical services. Technologically more advance and are well aware of mental illnesses such as depression. Very advanced civilization compared to the rest of the world.
Someone had replied and it got deleted. I'm not even sure if u realize ure not even safe in these comments. 3 weeks I'm glad u enjoyed your stay. I didn't see the dark side of a place til I was there for 2 years. Most places seem nice at first majority of them don't pop their demons out day 1. Kind of like all these women falling for "nice guys" and after a month it's not so nice. I'm glad u were safe. I have a friend who said the same but then I have two black men friends who felt targeted, one guy said they felt they take their women because their manhood a don't like them so he told me he stayed to himself because he felt alienated
@@sirds1548 I reluctantly entered three maid cafes on my 9th visit because my hometown friend came to Japan to see it for himself on his first and only visit in 2019. I didn't notice anything creepy. The pancakes are stupid expensive and doesn't compare to anyone's grandmother's pancakes. All they do is single J-pop songs and serve fruit drinks. The host club stuff is normally filled with rich/wealthy people who consider themselves lonely or refuse to marry yet keep to themselves, but you have pregnant prostitutes walking on all 4s while high on drugs in Dallas tugging on your arms like they're having a heart attack. Sometimes, you can even see their mustache and smell the must from every hair under their armpits.
I noticed no one talks about safety on the subway. It was the only place my cousin didn't feel safe. Men groped her often enough with no fear or shame. She dressed modestly. She would avoid the subway if she could.
My experience as an Appalachian living in Japan was that a lot of Japanese dudes' behavior toward women was pretty appalling. I got in trouble outside my apartment because I confronted some dude was manhandling a girl who was either his girlfriend or a girl he was on a date with (never got a straight answer, but they each said something different) and telling him that grabbing women by the arm like he was doing wasn't cool, and a passing cop got involved and basically said "Yea, he was a little in the wrong but it's none of your business" even though the shit was happening right outside my bedroom at 2AM while I was trying to sleep.
I'd also say this isn't a very accurate way to get a straight answer, and her response proves it. She keeps hedging her answers with soft edges and even pulls the "I can't really judge because I don't know the culture" card because she's more concerned with the acceptability of her answer, which is most likely either because she knows this is being recorded for a potentially large audience and doesn't want to be seen as xenophobic, or because she's being asked how safe she feels in Japan by a Japanese guy, i.e. the type of person most likely to cause her to be unsafe.
@@jackvancekirklandit’s not really based and is actually disturbing if that’s their attitude to crime. Say if you got mugged and beaten up, there is a witness who could have saved you or told police who it was as they recognised the assailant, but they say “it’s not my business” or the police tell them to move on because it’s not their business either. You’d be pretty annoyed at best I bet.
@@muffinman4544 but we're not talking about being mugged. Nobody has said "I was mugged in Japan and the cops didn't do anything" obviously they'd intervene in a case of actual violent crime. In America, the cops will arrest and charge in an instance of suspected "domestic violence" or whatever even if both partners are literally saying not to. That is far more heinous than Japanese cops saying it's not their business.
Anywhere, almost, is safe if we talk about clothing, if you wear very sensual or sexy clothes the normal thing is that they will turn to look at you, it happens to everyone, if you don't like to be seen that way,Wear clothes that are not so sexy or sensual, if they still look at you, maybe it's not the clothes but your whole person/personality. In that case, if the looks are just that, I understand that they are annoying, Don't pay attention to those looks, and just focus on yourself, if you can get out of that place, do it. In Asian countries, very revealing clothing will attract attention but they will know how to behave because it is their way of being. If you can, adapt to the place you visit.
@@foisopracurtir6389 for real and as a woman Not saying that oh bevause you dress revealing you must be assaulted but be for real...wearing inherently sexual clothing will draw attention especially in a culture where it is not the norm! Common sense
@@slamdunq3192 the closest thing in the US to Japanese hospitality is southern hospitality. They were very polite and respectful on the surface, but there was a load of passive aggressive behavior and back handed compliments. “You know a lot for an American”. They also generally preferred to ignore me in public, to the point of me saying “excuse me” (whether I said it in English or Japanese it didn’t matter) and they would seem to purposely block my physical movement while ignoring me. Just some examples
@@slamdunq3192 that was mostly a list of the negative so here is some positive. The Japanese were incredibly clean, even the grimiest parts of their cities felt recently washed. I did truly feel safe there. Whenever there were issues (accidentally getting on the midnight “love train” which costs extra and you need a special ticket) they were very understanding to my mistake and let me get off on the next stop without issue. The culture is beautiful to witness and is seamlessly woven into their cities, daily interactions, food, and architecture. I still recommend people visit Japan. But from my personal experience people who only say the Japanese are very respectful and polite are those who seemed to have misread certain social interactions, because they are also a very proud people and won’t necessarily openly confront foreigners. So just be cognizant of that
Japan is very safe. If you're a guy don't go to Kabukicho or Roppongi at night and definitely avoid ppl that want to talk to on the street and ask you almost anything. There are lots of scams that prey on foreign men in those places.
Host and hostess clubs were designed (with profit in mind) to combat loneliness in japanese cities. Its absolutely a cultural norm. Loneliness is a serious issue in Japan due to the unrealistic expectations employers hold for their employees in larger cities.
We just had a news a day before I posted this, where a women was killed by a "stalker", but prior to that, she kept reporting to a police about her ex-boyfriend keep stalking her, but police told her to wait 1x24 hours or something. Yes crime happens even in the safest country, but it tends to be easier to happen towards women in Japan.
@@user-gx9xf2zb6o its not about which country is safe, its that the argument still stands in that, cases like it do exist in Japan, and its unfortunate that it does happen to woman more often than not
I got sexually harassed in my first month in Japan just coming back home from work... (I know at this point is stupid to talk about looks when we all know is not about how you look is about how disgusting men are) and I these things are so normalized in Japan they don't even feel concerned about anyone looking because even if someone see you being harassed or anything else they won't help you or do anything
Extremely accurate. Japanese residents don't want to stur up problems so they'd rather be bystanders. This is because of the Japanese culture of staying quite and not sticking out
@Gobrech You can literally google tons of statistics showing that women have a harder time with many things in Japan. Becoming a housewife is still encouraged if you want a family (and working mothers are seen as bad mothers), sexual harrassment is mostly ignored, there are expectations of being "lady-like" and demure, painkillers are seen as "weak" if used during childbirth etc. Those aren't "vague stories", they are facts that are really easy to verify.
@Gobrech “In Japanese criminal law, rape is forcible sexual intercourse, including anal or oral sex, with the use of assault or intimidation, and prosecutors may not take the case forward if they feel there is not strong evidence of force or intimidation. The British Embassy has received feedback from some rape and sexual assault victims that they have found the process of reporting the assault at times difficult, and quite different from what they would expect of UK police proceedings.”
I am astonished to see a young woman walk around almost half naked. Although the way someone dresses is no excuse for sexual assaults it is nevertheless likely to increase your risk. And it is not a proper way to dress publicly unless e.g. going out at night.
She's showing an inch of her stomach....Jesus i feel so sorry for women. This is probably the least predatory male on this comment section and it's still this bad. Yikes.
Huh, I'm an south-east asian girl who had the misfortune of stumbling into of this one YT shorts showing people in stripper club. And I can tell you what she wears here is far more modest than those strippers i saw.
@@raclettepp in Japan you won't see bare shoulders or stomach. she is wearing bodycon, silk, you can see her underwear, she has a dog collar, and her hair is done in a childlike way. this person has zero self awareness.
Yeah, I mean as far as safety goes, she’s far more safe in Japanese cities than English or American cities, she’s not gonna get shot, mugged, assaulted, or at least she’s far less likely to. The only issue with that is that she has to be very careful of Creeps and Pedos and Ra*ey guys, they’re the exact reason women dress so modestly all the time, and punishments for those kinds of crimes are absurdly minimal, so there’s very little stopping the creeps. Either way, I’d rather live in Japan, it’s safer. Carry some pepper spray or a taser and you won’t be harmed, the other places you could get stabbed or shot just for crossing the street the wrong way…
it might be too much for you to understand since you were taught this since you were a child but women in most countries dress modestly because they respect their local culture and environment not because they are afraid of being assaulted
I had that initial reaction to Maid Cafes too, but I went to one on my last day and it’s honestly fun and hilarious. If you’ve seen some of the stereotypical anime girl things it’s a lot like that. They do definitely cater to one kind of customer, but anyone can enjoy them. It’s kind of a cringe humor kind of thing to me and a lot of fun. I was surprised by the number of women who were patrons as well, so it’s not exclusively a creepy guy thing. That isn’t to say it’s not trying to get a certain clientele, but I think you’d have fun if you give it a shot even if you don’t find that kind of stuff arousing.
Last week I visit Japan for 7 days I'm Chinese Malaysian and one thing that was so bizarre is when the tour guide bring us to visit Kabukicho Sakura Dori Street... brothels which ik its normal for a country to have but it's legit an entire street of brothels in the city out in the open in public... as in like legit any age can just randomly walk in there without knowing if not paying attention
It happens the same in Europe in Amsterdam. Female exploitation is part of the culture everywhere, no so normalized it's even treated as a tourist attraction. But people only seem to be surprised when it happens in other countries and they can see the moral corruption more clearly.
Funny How sehe says sehe Fels safer than at home. But in the Same time she understood that they way you clothe is connected to how safe you feel. “At home I wear Short Skirts”… why don’t you try modest clothes also in England as you are doing in Japan?
@@stevenlaverty8044 nope! My family went there for Christmas dinner once because every other place was full. It was the worst food I’ve ever had in my life lmao

@@Ji_soeexactly, I was in Tokyo 2 months ago and almost 90% of the women there wore miniskirts/short dresses (I hear they have safety shorts under most the time) but yes in Tokyo especially they all wear skirts to show off their beauty
The reason why she feels safer is because Japanese men stereotype western women to be more assertive and brave, thus not daring to assault them as much out of fear of repercussion. Japanese women experience a whole lotta SA despite the whole modesty thing.
"Japanese women experience a whole lotta SA despite the whole modesty thing." Damn that's crazy! It's almost as if how women dress isn't the problem huh?
I've lived in England my whole life and nothing has happened to me. Then I move to Wales for university and get assaulted twice so far in my first year.
@@thisismyaltaccount85 That's exactly what she said though ''I don't know if I'd feel that safe if I did that'' while talking about wearing crop tops and short skirts.
The beware of Chikan signs and women only train cars should be indicative of an underlying issue… but of course you’d probably have to read Japanese to know.
@@MsBhappy In Japan there are trans women here and there but they blend in well so no one even notices. For foreign trans people they may just leave it alone because they don't want to confront someone who doesn't speak the language. However, generally the LGBTQ+ community is not accepted or understood. I've been to parks where they had an LGBTQ+ bathroom (with the rainbow symbol) but trans themselves are lumped in with everyone else so they would probably prefer that you use the rainbow bathroom rather than the cis M/F bathroom. Especially in a public bath situation... I don't think that would work because it only separates by two genders.
@@MsBhappyJapanese culture is very accepting of trans people and see them as the gender they transition to as long as they pass and blend into crowds There's not really a lot of outward self expression or standing out That's why gay and lesbian couples or more expressive queer and trans people aren't as accepted I think
As a girl i can confirm that wearing both a crop top AND any sort of short piece of clothing (meaning together) can feel very revealing and uncomfortable even if that what you use to wear and feel comfortable in usually, its really depand on the environment just because of how certain people look at you. You notice, its sucks, its just cloths but its weird how obvious it is when someone look at you side ways or creeply... I think she meant that just because of how conservative japanese dress
I am Brazilian (big Brazilian population in Japan) and often hear about very young, newly arrived Brazilian girls (15,16) who are lured into prostitution. They are offered jobs as hostess in karaoke places and soon are offered 5X their salary to go for dinner with a client. They accept and often turn out exploited. I think there’s a side of Japan that we don’t hear very often.
It's all the game of perception largely guided by Western Media. It has created certain perceptions about every region of the world which is not North America+Europe+Japan+South Korea. In it's perception rest of the world there is nothing but crime while the above places are crime free. You can yourself see this in the coverage of Latin America in Media which is just filled with violent crimes, gang wars, drug trafficking, etc. I am from India and my country gets similar type of Media coverage which is always related to violence, crimes, havoc, etc. I mean even local level murder (which aren't uncommon anywhere in the world) are reported by Western Media which certainly isn't the case for US or Europe.
Oh no, did the person charging 5 times their salary just to go eat with someone get exploited? Lol, you act like it’s not a consensual two-way street as if only he was looking to take advantage of the situation. Y’all need to walk outside and touch grass. My sister was a sex walker for like a decade and I’ve met a ton of people that do sex work over the years and 99.9% of them aren’t victims despite the liberal media trying to convince everyone that women are always the victim and most were talked into it by other women
@@krishnkant9477 Not sure what you’re referring to. I could almost count on my fingers the number of times I’ve seen India in the news for anything.

I don’t know where you get the idea that Americans are sitting at home watching about local murders in the middle of India
@@krishnkant9477 just for to you know is very safe in some aspects, there is not much thieves or stabbing as daily as other countries, you can literally toss your wallet in the street and find in the police station I literally lost my wallet with all credit cards on my second day in Japan gladly went back to every station booth asking for my wallet (sister that live there helped me) and found it because they have it, if that happened in my country I would never have recovered it That doesn't mean Japan is not disgusting in other aspects
@@krishnkant9477 I hear what you’re saying but personally I disagree. I much more often see crime reported from those western countries instead of the other way around. I mean that’s basically the basis for why everyone knows about Florida lol
Unfortunately my sister was traveling to multiple countries and in Japan she got followed by some random old guy driving past her, then driving back constantly trying to get her in the car. This happened about 7 times, that's just not normal. In the end he didn't get out of the car but it is still very scary contantly driving past trying to get her in the car and driving away only to stop again next to her after 2 minutes. following her everywhere. Fortunately she was there with her friend so they contacted each other and he picked her up and somehow lost him.
From what I've heard on other channels, molesters tend to leave foreign women alone because they're more afraid that they're gonna make a scene. I don't know if this is true of course, but this is still good advice for Japanese women. Don't be afraid to speak up. You got a voice, make it be heard!
That's true. Most European women would punch a dude in the teeth or kick them in the balls if they touched her inappropriately. That's why the creeps stay away from them.
Riding subway with my bf had a guy try to touch me, he got a lot of pain for his attempt. I didn't know what was going on until I saw his wrist being twisted by my bf. He figured someone would try, just from seeing Japanese men riding subways everyday. I was totally covered so as to be respectful of the culture. Didn't matter to that guy.
@hateyoutube-pv6fslol how come they fetishize pale blonde women so much? I heard so many East Asian dudes(including Japanese) wanting to have a Russian gf so bad

@@Astronopolis being judgmental over another culture's behavior can stem from fear, not really shocking that a woman might not like Japanese society coming from one that gives them more respect.
@@BrendanishLeo theres a difference between being judgemental over certain harmless customs like eating habits or something vs not approving of inherantly predatory shit. i dont care if they're japan, those cafes are shady from top to bottom and are pretty dark when you delve into the inner workings of them, you're not being a xenophobe for pointing that out, just like you wouldn't be if you called out a middle eastern country for killing someone over protesting.
Actually, according to international crime statistics, in countries where women are encouraged to dress modestly, sexual assault rates tend to be higher. Believe it or not, in cultures that tell women they are inherently sexual and need to cover themselves more, sexual crimes against women are accepted as more normalized and common. When you police sexuality and bodies, everything becomes more sexual.
"I saw her ankle when she passed me, she must totally want to have sex with me." Something like that. I do know for a fact that a lot of "hide your women"-men say that they do it because otherwise they'd get raped all the time.
@@baileypares5349 Poverty doesn’t correlate as much with sexual crimes as it does with violence, drug use, and theft. If you need an example, South Korea is a good one. South Korea has a pretty average to low poverty rate, but is pretty bad when it comes to sexual crime against women. People don’t need to be poor in order to commit sexual crimes lol ??
She kinda deserves it, don't go outside naked like she's doing. She clearly WANTS male attention. Behave like a civilized person and don't provoke the human biology
When I was in Japan, I felt like men would assume you were a prostitute or “available to purchase” if you were dressed cute. Not even necessarily showing skin, but just dressed attractively in a feminine way. There’s like a tipping point where men feel it’s suddenly alright to touch you, because they’re used to only hostesses and prostitutes looking that attractive, since women are required to dress very plainly at school and in the workplace, whether they want to or not. So men can be very inconsiderate, since they associate any good looking woman in nice clothes with women whose job it is to do so, when those women are just dressing the way they normally would in their own culture.
This has been my experience living in America. I love fashion and men interpret that as an excuse to grope me, try to solicit work i don't do in a scary way, take pictures of me, talk to me, follow me, etc. So I wear frumpy clothes I hate, but obvi it still happens, bc how dare I not be a man and be outside in a place I work and pay taxes in. When experiencing nature is essential to our health. It makes trying to go back to dressing creatively feel "brave" considering the violence I've faced. We don't have the right to public space. This is one of the ways misogyny and men's violence has impacted me the most. The U.K. is trying to ban Public Sexual Harassment.
Sounds like a universal experience, in France it may not be as bad as in Japan but we definitely have men who think they can treat you like crap because you're dressed "too well" so it is an invitation. These men are awful as they like to think they have morals compared to other predators because they behave like AH only under certain conditions...
Some of you guys in the comments need a reality check. Japan has its dangers just like every other country on this earth- it’s not perfect. Don’t have a false sense of security
Fr. people need to learn you can't go around either making these assumptions about people or places. Thats how you either make your self look like an ass or get hurt.
Pretty much all of the comments I've seen on here have been talking about all sorts of problems Japan has though. It's pretty one-sided. Though I don't know how many ppl are over exaggerating. Someone said that Japanese women get used to sa because they get sa'd *daily*, and another said Japanese ppl are ok with sa because a "good chunk of them" are children and grandchildren of WW2 rapist war criminals. I get the impression Japan is still fairly safe though. Tokyo seems to repeatedly rank as one of the top 5 safest cities in the world, despite being the biggest one as well.
I don’t think it has to do with the clothes studies show that crimes like sa and murder will happen regardless of clothing and the perpetrator will just use clothes as an excuse
Not studies but reality, it's true that even Muslim women fully clothed you see nothing but their faces get r4ped, children, men and even animals fall victim so it's not the clothes at all
"Men treating women with respect and paying in cosplay cafes is creepy. But it's weird how Japanese women don't dress like night workers during the daytime."
My female friend got stalked and the kōban police just told her not to go outside at night. My impression is that harder crimes like attacks and murders are much rarer in japan but it’s the opposite for softer (I don’t mean to dismiss them) crimes like groping, but you’re at risk of not being helped by police. Even my male teacher was groped on the train :///

Hooters really isn't that bad. I've been to alot of them just to experience it and it's just women in short orange shorts and shirts that show off their bellies. I've actually seen plenty of beach establishments with more revealing clothing. Maid Cafe's on the other hand take personal request like calling you Master and blowing on your food. These are not the same. Hostess bars are on a whole other level.
I felt safe in Japan. However, you get approached by guys very often. Sometimes they can be very persistent in wanting to take you out or getting your number which was a bit uncomfortable. It’s not as bad as in China though, that’s a whole nother level.
That's because there are A LOT more men than women in china because of the one child policy it ruined the men to women ratio completely and know 10s of millions of Chinese men won't find a Chinese woman simply because there aren't enough of them
It depends on the area of each city you're in. Shady area = more persistent men, such is the reality of human life, men arr pushy when it comes to asking for sexual interaction. But overall Japan is safer for women than in kther countries.
When I was 14 I did a short exchange program in Japan. While I was there, there were two instances of older drunk businessmen relentlessly harassing me and my female friends out in public. Saying my age was in no way a deterrent, and on one occasion a teacher who came on the exchange intervened yet they just kept following us until we gave up and got in a taxi. Growing up my family traveled a lot, and Japan was unique in how brazenly the perpetrators had no concerns about being seen harassing minors in public. To clarify I think Japan is very safe in many ways, but it can be uniquely dangerous for school age girls. I had a wonderful time in Japan, but I think it’s important to recognise it has its issues like any other country.
I went when I was in my 20’s and during train station rush hour an older man totally grabbed my chest. I was in such shock I couldn’t even react. He got away before I could process what happened.

THANK YOU. I'm so tired of people glorifying Japan man. It's not some perfect flawless country, it actually has a TON of flaws and many questionable beliefs and laws, some of which are at a brink of human rights violations.. If not there already. They take pride in their culture and are blinded by it, and I think people taking offense whenever someone points this out is just pathetic and sad. Every country has problems.
@Vee assume one who has been in Japan twice and worked for them, I couldn't agree more with you, and yes, they are like you say in yhis comment. Also, even if you say little complainer are the victim, they will always find ways to accuse you of the one being wrong or even use power abuse with external instances to forge "proofs " against you. (Like the time they even having my full medical reports tried to bribe the doctors in private to say I was lying about the jod accident that left me badly hurt) like wtf.
I lived several years in Japan. All the gaijin women I knew never had a problem with Japanese men. But I knew many Japanese women who had been harassed on the train. I asked many of them why it happened that way and I consistently heard two responses. #1, gaijin women were more likely to react whereas Japanese women would be quiet; they would actually say they didn’t want to embarrass the man. #2, gaijin women are seen as physically strong.

I spent nearly a year in Japan. In Tokyo, at 19, I (who did not dress modestly, like this girl, but braless) was walking around at night, stumbled into the hotel district.

@@deliciouspops Your comment makes zero sense, lipstick was used to show social status. If a guy wears a cropped shirt, should women be allowed to chase him and harass him? Or is that not okay? Is it only okay if a woman gets harassed? Maybe you need to review your morals.

Been there. They stare at your boobs a lot, even if you don't show too much. Anything lower than neck they stare at. And yes, maid cafes are a creepy thing japanese focus on. A place where nerds are getting called 'master' and stuff. They are capitalizing on people's fetishes a lot. And there's a lot of repressed fetishes in Japan. And everywhere in ads, stores, media you see women who look like children, sexualised in such a disturbing way. Anime does that a lot. But it really stands out when you are in Japan, to the point where I had to google 'are Japanese men pedofiles?' It's the only thing I didn't like in japan, but it's a pretty big thing if you think about it. Oh, and I did get followed once and a dirty old guy tried to rub up against me in public transportation (not very crowded metro). Women notice these things. It felt icky.
Japan has a fun little thing called flower trains. These are carts in the train that are only for women, not men. And once you realize that it isn't because the men are that misogynistic and that these carts are more frequently used when students make their way to and from school then the absurdity starts to make more sense. But it also opens the doors to more questions, questions that need to be asked.
I was wondering why it is that there's any assumption that men would be misogynistic enough to seperate by gender, like its so natural and it's actually approved and pushed by women. Just think about this situation in Japan with flower trains and apply it on a larger societal scale. I just dont see why in places like Qatar foreigners think it's backwards when they do gender separation. It can be weird for you but dont believe it's backwards.
girly trains 🕯🌸💛🌟 lol, going on an exchange next year for studying rural fishing practices and I wonder if I’ll be allowed to ride on the girls-only part or have to stay with my class 🪪
@@JohnDoe-yq1sx i mean it shouldnt have to be something thats required but it is because of how often women are sexually assaulted in japan especially on trains
I went to Japan for 2 weeks. The only real cringe moment was the maid cafe. It was me and my buddy and we thought, girls in maid costumes? Sounds great! We'll the one we went to at least, the "maids" looked and acted like 12 year old girls. 40 year old guys were getting their pictures taken with them, there was even an area set up to do that. We GTFO'd fast.
@@vanessaalina6245 idk maybe not adults that infantilise themselves for male attraction? not to mention maid is an abbreviation for maiden, not child, they should strive to look like young ladies in maid attire. the whole kid look is cringe and nasty
Of course they should. Foreign women on average are more masculine (larger, heavier and hairier) than the average Asian woman. Most Asian men don't find them as attractive and may even be intimidated by them.
I got lost in a shady part of Tokyo at 2 am when I went to visit Japan. People were looking over their shoulder at me lol not the other way around. I was tired as hell and completely disheveled. There's not a single place in Japan I didn't feel safe. That said it's hard as hell to throw away trash or refill a water bottle
Yeah I just wind up taking all my trash with me home, then just throw it away there. I think it's actually pretty genius, having (basically) no public trash cans
@@YoSuhDude most people do even with trashcans at the ready. There are like 15 dumpsters around my apartment complex yet the parking lot is full of broken glass and all sorts of other garbage
I was harassed multiple times when i was in Japan. Drunk salaryman who grabbed me and tried to pull me with him, some non-Japanese man who tries to isolate me from the crowds, and some random guy who looked under 30. Tbf, all of that and more has happened to me in Canada too.
never been to japan but i get sexually harassed by customers at work a lot. i’m american. i do think i’d be fine in japan as a tourist but i’m pretty observant and i’d hate to see this stuff happen.
The maid cafes are sooo weird. It would be the equivalent of going to a restaurant and stalking one of the waitresses. The dudes that go in there are mad weird. I went to one and the guys had trading cards of the girls working there.
It's funny because in the West people rape women every day and they call themselves 'customers' because they pay to those women. Not to mention they also jerk off to filmed prostitution on a regular basis. But then a maid cafe is seen as weird. They are all disgusting and it's the same Patriarchy, men opppressing women in a diversity of creative ways.
@@RandyMahnke she clearly says she would use crop top e short skirts at home and thats why its weird for her. You need learn how to listen before trying to correct someone
Honestly, I was confused too because isn’t that a crop top that she has on right now, in Japan? If it’s isn’t then what is she wearing then? *I re-watched it and she was talking about wearing _short_ skirts. She just had a weird way of describing it; which initially didn’t make much sense to me🫢 But that’s her take. She’s emulating a culture but in her own comfort. She feels comfortable in safety but don’t feel it safe to be in a crop-top and short-skirts socially because no one else is doing so.
as a korean living in uk for a year I feel really unsafe here compared to south korea. Once I visited birmingham and was heading back my friend’s house by myself at night around midnight, the guy looked like homeless but probably not kept talking to me and chasing me. I almost got to cry but suddenly a guy walking on the street who is totally stranger helped me and took him off out of me. AND it’s not the only experience I have never been in dangerous, unsafe situation even after midnight in seoul for my entire 20ish years but while staying here or even while traveling other european countries, I was in many difficult situations and these scared me a lot.
@@joelt7869 You can't have what we have here in the US. Case in point- look up the potato peeler story. Gotta get creative to protect yourself over there in the UK. No guns, no knives, no pepper spray, etc.
@@nyla5065 haha I was going to tell her a gun but I realised she was in Uk so I said pepper spray. Can't believe the don't have that either. AN entire country defensiveless.
Not to discredit you, I'm sure that was pretty traumatizing, but it could still be worse, like the US. Petty crime rates in the UK are comparable to those in the US however. London has like 1/4 the homicide rate of New York. Britain as a whole has roughly 1/5th to 1/9th the homicide rate of the US per capita, depending on the year. The worst states in the US like Louisiana and Mississippi have roughly 18 times the homicide rate of the UK, and are more akin to nations like Puerto Rico or Brazil. The US virgin islands meanwhile is one of the most violent places on earth, and experiences roughly 50 times the homicide rate of your typical OECD nation like the UK. Anyway, to my understanding, Birmingham is like Britain's version of Chicago; compared to Chicago, it's a hell of a lot safer. Never left Australia myself however.
Sounds like serious encouragement, a lot of that in Japan. Maybe it keeps ot under control, but its still hosting and accepting a bunch of creeps into your society.
@@lordday7272 I think that in a lot of cases, this is the right mentality; giving people healthy outlets to do weird shit so they don't do it in other places. But Japan does seem to do it to such an excessive degree that I think it just ends up working more like encouragement, as you said. EDIT: I'd like to expand on this and point out that the problem is more complex than that, and there's probably a lot of reasons it doesn't work in Japan. Japan has a number of underlying issues, and is known for its terrible work ethic. Stressed businessman in a country full of loneliness? Yeah, that sounds like it would lead to some weird shit.
But also please remember that, just like anywhere else in the world, there are PLENTY of bad people in Japan. Don't go there with the outlook of everyone there being honest, kind people. EDIT: A lot of debate in the comments so allow me to clarify my point. No matter where you travel, you should never assume you're perfectly safe. Tourists attract criminals like magnets. I've heard people in the past talk about Japan like it's some promise land where no one does any wrong. It certainly up there for lowest crime rate, but it isn't zero, so when traveling you should always keep yourself safe! And again, that goes for any country. I don't care if it's Japan, the US or Iceland, always be careful!
@@ShowtimeLaw I do not disagree with that, but I have still heard some horror stories from careless people who visited Japan. You should always exercise caution when outside your home country, tourists are magnets for every breed of scammer and criminal
@@ShowtimeLaw sure, but safer doesnt mean completely safe and people still shouldn't do dumb stuff and put themselves at risk. like, as a woman i wouldnt go walking around the streets of osaka in the middle of the night by myself, it may be safer than if i did it in new york but there are still rapists and muggers in japan. esp as a foreigner in any country you're an automatic target for thieves and scammers as the person above me said.
I lived in Japan for 2 years and let me tell you, you can clearly tell she is just visiting. When you live there you really see more of this darker side. Like she still wondering if maid cafes are creepy, they are. Is just a little part of the huge industry of women objectification and specifically minors or at least minor looking girls and you see this in every shape and form and media: in magazines, in different ways of business like hostess, maids, girlfriend exp, friend exp, etc. The music industry too, idols, the use of children to sing, or just having young girls dressed as school girls giving advertising on the streets. Is alarming how this is so out in the open, how is so normal to sexualize under age girls and use it to sell. And this is one big bad things, of course there is more. Don't get me wrong, I love Japan. But it has a serious dark side that is not often talked about.
@@pumpkinhill4570 I've never used the word "harm". I don't know of which country you are speaking but in Japan you barely have interaction to McDonald's workers so no, you are mistaken. But I will explain it for you. The harm is in the exposure you see, they are so many businesses in Japan that consists in putting together an under age girl and a grown man, for supposedly giving a service like, accompany, drink together, etc. But the actual service the business offers is giving you that contact with these girls, the ones that defends these type of businesses say is only harmless conversation, but the harm is in what can happen after that, do I have to spell it for you? The sexualization of under age girls is so normalized and out in the open that people don't even wonder about this, businesses and culture alike are actually helping pedophiles get in contact with under age girls and you can bet a lot of them gets what they want and this is out in the open, normalized and practically legal. Is that enough harm for you?
How are maids underage? And what kind of business puts grown up men and underage girls together? The idol industry indeed was quite creepy in the past and still has creepy aspect but today female fans arent any less common than male fans. Sexualization in Japan is a difficult topic and pedophilia manga are sickening but there is also a genuine kawaii culture that sees young girls as cute and not sexual.
@@bingobongo1615 Thing is the kawaii culture and the sexualization of under age girls go together, one thing supports the other. When you praise under age features like, tone of voice, cuteness, innocence, clothes (school uniform), as valuable things. Businesses will thrive on this, they will sell that as product. And this elevates it value further more, then other business will copy, adult girls will try and look and act as underage and all of this promotes it even more. A culture that normalized under age sexualization and use it to sell any product, hell, entire businesses use it as fuel.
honestly dressing immodestly in japan is usually a good way to avoid chikan and similar issues bc they know you’re foreign and they can’t predict your reaction as well
That makes a scary amount of sense. A Japanese person born in their collectivist society will not want to "cause a scene" by confronting the molester, whereas a foreigner may well explode at them.

As a guy living in Japan I can say Japan is an extremely safe country. However, several of my female friends (Asian and non-Asian) have told me about their experiences where they did not feel safe. One was molested on a train, another iirc was taken advantage of in her sleep, another was stalked and all of them regularly have dudes creeping on them. It really is sad that no matter where you go you'll never escape gross predatorial men. It's not just Japanese men doing the creeping by the way. Foreign guys and military guys also think they can get away with anything and often they do. So be careful when you travel (anywhere really). Japan IS a safe country. But don't check your common sense at the door.

She's such a hypocrite.
Being a man in japan is different than being a woman in japan. Either way. The maid Cafe isn't the issue. She's just a typical Western woman. The issues in japan are divorce rates. Child abuse. Low birth rate. Secual assault unreported, Hikikomori. Racism. Racially/Ethnically/Culturally segregated restaurants and bars. Unnecessary strict laws that apply to foreigners for the most dumbest reasons with absolutely no respect to their own original culture as an individual. Let's not even get started on the pedophilia issue. OR the religion issue because you guys just love pretending that doesn't exist. And one of the worst ones is how shitty the Healthcare infrastructure is with mental health. Look at the insane numbers of suicide.
The problem in japan isn't "am I going to make it to tuesday without getting stabbed?" Like in New York. The problem is. "Why do I tolerate this for good food?"
@@ACloudWithoutAir What's that about pedophillia?

I noticed no one talks about safety on the subway. It was the only place my cousin didn't feel safe. Men groped her often enough with no fear or shame. She dressed modestly. She would avoid the subway if she could.
She is wearing a crop top and a skirt I can't tell if it's above her knees but I wouldn't wear that in japan
My experience as an Appalachian living in Japan was that a lot of Japanese dudes' behavior toward women was pretty appalling. I got in trouble outside my apartment because I confronted some dude was manhandling a girl who was either his girlfriend or a girl he was on a date with (never got a straight answer, but they each said something different) and telling him that grabbing women by the arm like he was doing wasn't cool, and a passing cop got involved and basically said "Yea, he was a little in the wrong but it's none of your business" even though the shit was happening right outside my bedroom at 2AM while I was trying to sleep.
I'd also say this isn't a very accurate way to get a straight answer, and her response proves it. She keeps hedging her answers with soft edges and even pulls the "I can't really judge because I don't know the culture" card because she's more concerned with the acceptability of her answer, which is most likely either because she knows this is being recorded for a potentially large audience and doesn't want to be seen as xenophobic, or because she's being asked how safe she feels in Japan by a Japanese guy, i.e. the type of person most likely to cause her to be unsafe.
Japanese cops are based af.
@@jackvancekirklandit’s not really based and is actually disturbing if that’s their attitude to crime. Say if you got mugged and beaten up, there is a witness who could have saved you or told police who it was as they recognised the assailant, but they say “it’s not my business” or the police tell them to move on because it’s not their business either. You’d be pretty annoyed at best I bet.
@@muffinman4544 but we're not talking about being mugged. Nobody has said "I was mugged in Japan and the cops didn't do anything" obviously they'd intervene in a case of actual violent crime.
In America, the cops will arrest and charge in an instance of suspected "domestic violence" or whatever even if both partners are literally saying not to. That is far more heinous than Japanese cops saying it's not their business.
@@jackvancekirkland The girl wasn't saying not to. She was trying to leave.
The fact that it is acceptable to dress immodestly in Enlgand shows the dysgenic modernity of the country and it's ultimate collapse.
Anywhere, almost, is safe if we talk about clothing, if you wear very sensual or sexy clothes the normal thing is that they will turn to look at you, it happens to everyone, if you don't like to be seen that way,Wear clothes that are not so sexy or sensual, if they still look at you, maybe it's not the clothes but your whole person/personality. In that case, if the looks are just that, I understand that they are annoying, Don't pay attention to those looks, and just focus on yourself, if you can get out of that place, do it.
In Asian countries, very revealing clothing will attract attention but they will know how to behave because it is their way of being. If you can, adapt to the place you visit.

@@slamdunq3192 what I heard from some people is that they feel treated like an alien between most people there. 🤷 Not my words, just heard.
@@slamdunq3192 the closest thing in the US to Japanese hospitality is southern hospitality. They were very polite and respectful on the surface, but there was a load of passive aggressive behavior and back handed compliments. “You know a lot for an American”.
They also generally preferred to ignore me in public, to the point of me saying “excuse me” (whether I said it in English or Japanese it didn’t matter) and they would seem to purposely block my physical movement while ignoring me.
Just some examples
@@slamdunq3192 that was mostly a list of the negative so here is some positive. The Japanese were incredibly clean, even the grimiest parts of their cities felt recently washed. I did truly feel safe there. Whenever there were issues (accidentally getting on the midnight “love train” which costs extra and you need a special ticket) they were very understanding to my mistake and let me get off on the next stop without issue. The culture is beautiful to witness and is seamlessly woven into their cities, daily interactions, food, and architecture. I still recommend people visit Japan.
But from my personal experience people who only say the Japanese are very respectful and polite are those who seemed to have misread certain social interactions, because they are also a very proud people and won’t necessarily openly confront foreigners. So just be cognizant of that
Japan is very safe. If you're a guy don't go to Kabukicho or Roppongi at night and definitely avoid ppl that want to talk to on the street and ask you almost anything. There are lots of scams that prey on foreign men in those places.
Some people should keep their opinions to themselves
Host and hostess clubs were designed (with profit in mind) to combat loneliness in japanese cities.
Its absolutely a cultural norm.
Loneliness is a serious issue in Japan due to the unrealistic expectations employers hold for their employees in larger cities.

I got sexually harassed in my first month in Japan just coming back home from work... (I know at this point is stupid to talk about looks when we all know is not about how you look is about how disgusting men are) and I these things are so normalized in Japan they don't even feel concerned about anyone looking because even if someone see you being harassed or anything else they won't help you or do anything
Extremely accurate. Japanese residents don't want to stur up problems so they'd rather be bystanders. This is because of the Japanese culture of staying quite and not sticking out
@Gobrech "Why won't women date me?"
@Gobrech You can literally google tons of statistics showing that women have a harder time with many things in Japan. Becoming a housewife is still encouraged if you want a family (and working mothers are seen as bad mothers), sexual harrassment is mostly ignored, there are expectations of being "lady-like" and demure, painkillers are seen as "weak" if used during childbirth etc.
Those aren't "vague stories", they are facts that are really easy to verify.
@Gobrech “In Japanese criminal law, rape is forcible sexual intercourse, including anal or oral sex, with the use of assault or intimidation, and prosecutors may not take the case forward if they feel there is not strong evidence of force or intimidation.
The British Embassy has received feedback from some rape and sexual assault victims that they have found the process of reporting the assault at times difficult, and quite different from what they would expect of UK police proceedings.”
Feminism is non existent in Japan, that's why.
Not from japan but im glad she is very honest about where ever she visits
Imagine the horror if she wasn't...
I am astonished to see a young woman walk around almost half naked.
Although the way someone dresses is no excuse for sexual assaults it is nevertheless likely to increase your risk.
And it is not a proper way to dress publicly unless e.g. going out at night.
"Women dont dress like strippers here"
"Except me of course. I am a stripper on vacation“
She's showing an inch of her stomach....Jesus i feel so sorry for women. This is probably the least predatory male on this comment section and it's still this bad. Yikes.

Yeah, I mean as far as safety goes, she’s far more safe in Japanese cities than English or American cities, she’s not gonna get shot, mugged, assaulted, or at least she’s far less likely to. The only issue with that is that she has to be very careful of Creeps and Pedos and Ra*ey guys, they’re the exact reason women dress so modestly all the time, and punishments for those kinds of crimes are absurdly minimal, so there’s very little stopping the creeps. Either way, I’d rather live in Japan, it’s safer. Carry some pepper spray or a taser and you won’t be harmed, the other places you could get stabbed or shot just for crossing the street the wrong way…
it might be too much for you to understand since you were taught this since you were a child but women in most countries dress modestly because they respect their local culture and environment not because they are afraid of being assaulted

I had that initial reaction to Maid Cafes too, but I went to one on my last day and it’s honestly fun and hilarious. If you’ve seen some of the stereotypical anime girl things it’s a lot like that. They do definitely cater to one kind of customer, but anyone can enjoy them. It’s kind of a cringe humor kind of thing to me and a lot of fun. I was surprised by the number of women who were patrons as well, so it’s not exclusively a creepy guy thing.
That isn’t to say it’s not trying to get a certain clientele, but I think you’d have fun if you give it a shot even if you don’t find that kind of stuff arousing.
I am sure she feels very safe compared to England... You can tell because she's walking out in public and showing skin!

Last week I visit Japan for 7 days I'm Chinese Malaysian and one thing that was so bizarre is when the tour guide bring us to visit Kabukicho Sakura Dori Street... brothels which ik its normal for a country to have but it's legit an entire street of brothels in the city out in the open in public... as in like legit any age can just randomly walk in there without knowing if not paying attention
Wouldn't you find that at many places in the world, even in countries where it is officially illegal.
It happens the same in Europe in Amsterdam. Female exploitation is part of the culture everywhere, no so normalized it's even treated as a tourist attraction. But people only seem to be surprised when it happens in other countries and they can see the moral corruption more clearly.
It's called morals and self value

The beware of Chikan signs and women only train cars should be indicative of an underlying issue… but of course you’d probably have to read Japanese to know.
Are they accepting of trans women in the women only cars out of curiosity?
@@MsBhappy In Japan there are trans women here and there but they blend in well so no one even notices. For foreign trans people they may just leave it alone because they don't want to confront someone who doesn't speak the language. However, generally the LGBTQ+ community is not accepted or understood. I've been to parks where they had an LGBTQ+ bathroom (with the rainbow symbol) but trans themselves are lumped in with everyone else so they would probably prefer that you use the rainbow bathroom rather than the cis M/F bathroom. Especially in a public bath situation... I don't think that would work because it only separates by two genders.
@@MsBhappyJapanese culture is very accepting of trans people and see them as the gender they transition to as long as they pass and blend into crowds

As a girl i can confirm that wearing both a crop top AND any sort of short piece of clothing (meaning together) can feel very revealing and uncomfortable even if that what you use to wear and feel comfortable in usually, its really depand on the environment just because of how certain people look at you. You notice, its sucks, its just cloths but its weird how obvious it is when someone look at you side ways or creeply...
I think she meant that just because of how conservative japanese dress
She means, if she lived there, she doesn't know if she'd wear crop tops. She is just a tourist.
I am Brazilian (big Brazilian population in Japan) and often hear about very young, newly arrived Brazilian girls (15,16) who are lured into prostitution.
They are offered jobs as hostess in karaoke places and soon are offered 5X their salary to go for dinner with a client. They accept and often turn out exploited.
I think there’s a side of Japan that we don’t hear very often.
It's all the game of perception largely guided by Western Media.
It has created certain perceptions about every region of the world which is not North America+Europe+Japan+South Korea.
In it's perception rest of the world there is nothing but crime while the above places are crime free.
You can yourself see this in the coverage of Latin America in Media which is just filled with violent crimes, gang wars, drug trafficking, etc.
I am from India and my country gets similar type of Media coverage which is always related to violence, crimes, havoc, etc. I mean even local level murder (which aren't uncommon anywhere in the world) are reported by Western Media which certainly isn't the case for US or Europe.
Oh no, did the person charging 5 times their salary just to go eat with someone get exploited?

From what I've heard on other channels, molesters tend to leave foreign women alone because they're more afraid that they're gonna make a scene. I don't know if this is true of course, but this is still good advice for Japanese women. Don't be afraid to speak up. You got a voice, make it be heard!
That's true. Most European women would punch a dude in the teeth or kick them in the balls if they touched her inappropriately. That's why the creeps stay away from them.
This is the type of culture change that they want to keep out of their country. Public face may not say so, but privately very much so.
@hateyoutube-pv6fs That's weird because for the most in usa Japanese men go for white women a lot.
Riding subway with my bf had a guy try to touch me, he got a lot of pain for his attempt. I didn't know what was going on until I saw his wrist being twisted by my bf. He figured someone would try, just from seeing Japanese men riding subways everyday. I was totally covered so as to be respectful of the culture. Didn't matter to that guy.

Actually, according to international crime statistics, in countries where women are encouraged to dress modestly, sexual assault rates tend to be higher. Believe it or not, in cultures that tell women they are inherently sexual and need to cover themselves more, sexual crimes against women are accepted as more normalized and common.
When you police sexuality and bodies, everything becomes more sexual.

When I was in Japan, I felt like men would assume you were a prostitute or “available to purchase” if you were dressed cute. Not even necessarily showing skin, but just dressed attractively in a feminine way. There’s like a tipping point where men feel it’s suddenly alright to touch you, because they’re used to only hostesses and prostitutes looking that attractive, since women are required to dress very plainly at school and in the workplace, whether they want to or not. So men can be very inconsiderate, since they associate any good looking woman in nice clothes with women whose job it is to do so, when those women are just dressing the way they normally would in their own culture.
Theres also a fact that long ago, the equality very much 💀 It's still exist too but might be lower
100%
Women need to stop dressing like wh... s
This has been my experience living in America. I love fashion and men interpret that as an excuse to grope me, try to solicit work i don't do in a scary way, take pictures of me, talk to me, follow me, etc. So I wear frumpy clothes I hate, but obvi it still happens, bc how dare I not be a man and be outside in a place I work and pay taxes in. When experiencing nature is essential to our health. It makes trying to go back to dressing creatively feel "brave" considering the violence I've faced. We don't have the right to public space. This is one of the ways misogyny and men's violence has impacted me the most. The U.K. is trying to ban Public Sexual Harassment.
Sounds like a universal experience, in France it may not be as bad as in Japan but we definitely have men who think they can treat you like crap because you're dressed "too well" so it is an invitation. These men are awful as they like to think they have morals compared to other predators because they behave like AH only under certain conditions...

These are not the same. Hostess bars are on a whole other level.

It depends on the area of each city you're in. Shady area = more persistent men, such is the reality of human life, men arr pushy when it comes to asking for sexual interaction. But overall Japan is safer for women than in kther countries.
When I was 14 I did a short exchange program in Japan. While I was there, there were two instances of older drunk businessmen relentlessly harassing me and my female friends out in public. Saying my age was in no way a deterrent, and on one occasion a teacher who came on the exchange intervened yet they just kept following us until we gave up and got in a taxi.
Growing up my family traveled a lot, and Japan was unique in how brazenly the perpetrators had no concerns about being seen harassing minors in public.
To clarify I think Japan is very safe in many ways, but it can be uniquely dangerous for school age girls.
I had a wonderful time in Japan, but I think it’s important to recognise it has its issues like any other country.
I went when I was in my 20’s and during train station rush hour an older man totally grabbed my chest. I was in such shock I couldn’t even react. He got away before I could process what happened. Just arrived from spending 2 weeks there and I will say my boyfriend said men stare at my chest a lot but thankfully no one touched me this time around.
Happened to me and I noted he had an erection. I slapped the dick with as much energy as possible. He had me arrested and the police deported me and banned me for life ...
Doesn’t sound safe at all

It's not some perfect flawless country, it actually has a TON of flaws and many questionable beliefs and laws, some of which are at a brink of human rights violations.. If not there already.

@Vee assume one who has been in Japan twice and worked for them, I couldn't agree more with you, and yes, they are like you say in yhis comment.
Also, even if you say little complainer are the victim, they will always find ways to accuse you of the one being wrong or even use power abuse with external instances to forge "proofs " against you.

@@amogusamogosas a man I would love to have women harass me and try to get with me 😂😂😂 you women take that shit for granted. Try being a men no one gives a shit about you.
Chasing is on another level of prederatory
Been there. They stare at your boobs a lot, even if you don't show too much. Anything lower than neck they stare at. And yes, maid cafes are a creepy thing japanese focus on. A place where nerds are getting called 'master' and stuff. They are capitalizing on people's fetishes a lot. And there's a lot of repressed fetishes in Japan. And everywhere in ads, stores, media you see women who look like children, sexualised in such a disturbing way. Anime does that a lot. But it really stands out when you are in Japan, to the point where I had to google 'are Japanese men pedofiles?'
It's the only thing I didn't like in japan, but it's a pretty big thing if you think about it.
Oh, and I did get followed once and a dirty old guy tried to rub up against me in public transportation (not very crowded metro). Women notice these things. It felt icky.
Lmao

You're actually regarded aren't you? Now replace the "g" with "t"
@@YashiFradkin What's so funny?
Thats the opposite of repressed. Its arguably why Japan is so peaceful to begin with. They've always had outlets
Japan has a fun little thing called flower trains. These are carts in the train that are only for women, not men. And once you realize that it isn't because the men are that misogynistic and that these carts are more frequently used when students make their way to and from school then the absurdity starts to make more sense. But it also opens the doors to more questions, questions that need to be asked.
massive cap they are 100% there because of sexual harassment
@@eggrollorsoup6052 I believe a semicolon belongs there instead of a comma. That third sentence was more for dramatic effect
I was wondering why it is that there's any assumption that men would be misogynistic enough to seperate by gender, like its so natural and it's actually approved and pushed by women. Just think about this situation in Japan with flower trains and apply it on a larger societal scale. I just dont see why in places like Qatar foreigners think it's backwards when they do gender separation. It can be weird for you but dont believe it's backwards.

dont go to the maid cafe they always put WAY to much ketchup on my omelete and you can just raise your charm at some other place
You clearly had guts to make that comment
I’m not intelligent enough to argue with that
just curious but did they "moe moe kyun" your omelette?
True, the bathouse is probably better, though coming there with two children in blue clothing is very funny in my opinion
I see my request to have them put too much ketchup on all of your omelettes is still being honored. Talk about great service!
I went to Japan for 2 weeks. The only real cringe moment was the maid cafe. It was me and my buddy and we thought, girls in maid costumes? Sounds great! We'll the one we went to at least, the "maids" looked and acted like 12 year old girls. 40 year old guys were getting their pictures taken with them, there was even an area set up to do that. We GTFO'd fast.
dude thats a maid cafe, what did u expect?
jfc
@@vanessaalina6245 idk maybe not adults that infantilise themselves for male attraction? not to mention maid is an abbreviation for maiden, not child, they should strive to look like young ladies in maid attire. the whole kid look is cringe and nasty

Normally I'd wear crop tops and a skirt
*Like she ain't in that rn* 🤣
She was clearly talking about a much shorter skirt
She dresses like some £10 escort when she’s back home in her area.
@@hughjanus2781 Yea but, if that ain't a crop top idk what is.
@@hughjanus2781 Just sayin if she was in Afghanistan rocks would start raining. She aint dressed modestly and i dont mind let me add that.
@@Navajonkee She was talking about the combination of a crop top and a mini skirt AND not feeling under dressed in the UK.
Of course they should. Foreign women on average are more masculine (larger, heavier and hairier) than the average Asian woman. Most Asian men don't find them as attractive and may even be intimidated by them.
I have travelled fairly widely. I spent 5 weeks in Japan a few years ago. Japan is the safest and cleanest place that I have visited, no contest.
What was your favorite place you traveled to?
Did you go on a train? I heard they have a terrible groping problem there
As a tourist vacationing yes I agree. But it's not a very good place to live in as a citizen
@@crashpal lived there for 6 years and agree with OP.
No matter where you live you have to be careful and each place has its own worries.
Unless your on the wrong side of the law. Check out the conviction rate. It's off the scale.
I got lost in a shady part of Tokyo at 2 am when I went to visit Japan. People were looking over their shoulder at me lol not the other way around. I was tired as hell and completely disheveled. There's not a single place in Japan I didn't feel safe. That said it's hard as hell to throw away trash or refill a water bottle
lol yeah absolutely no public trash cans
Yeah I just wind up taking all my trash with me home, then just throw it away there. I think it's actually pretty genius, having (basically) no public trash cans
@@Jay_in_Japan why do you say that? So it teaches everyone to bring it home? Here in the US most punks would just throw it on the ground:(
@@YoSuhDude most people do even with trashcans at the ready. There are like 15 dumpsters around my apartment complex yet the parking lot is full of broken glass and all sorts of other garbage
I was harassed multiple times when i was in Japan. Drunk salaryman who grabbed me and tried to pull me with him, some non-Japanese man who tries to isolate me from the crowds, and some random guy who looked under 30.
Tbf, all of that and more has happened to me in Canada too.
never been to japan but i get sexually harassed by customers at work a lot. i’m american. i do think i’d be fine in japan as a tourist but i’m pretty observant and i’d hate to see this stuff happen.
did you get kidnapped as a kid and then forced to be a child soldier?
@@JoshButterballsWhat?
What you do when someone is behaving that inappropriately?
@@saranlinx9301 Do you report that to your boss when it happens?
The maid cafes are sooo weird. It would be the equivalent of going to a restaurant and stalking one of the waitresses. The dudes that go in there are mad weird. I went to one and the guys had trading cards of the girls working there.
Lol
😂😂
Okay, that’s enough internet for today….
It's funny because in the West people rape women every day and they call themselves 'customers' because they pay to those women. Not to mention they also jerk off to filmed prostitution on a regular basis. But then a maid cafe is seen as weird. They are all disgusting and it's the same Patriarchy, men opppressing women in a diversity of creative ways.
Not at all.
“Back home Id wear crop tops and short skirts, here I don’t do that”
... The mirror in your hotel room is busted girl!
Her brain is busted.
she meant if she lived in Japan. but she doesn't as she's just a tourist. you need to up your understanding skills
Bro has never seen a woman if he thinks this is a crop top
@@RandyMahnke she clearly says she would use crop top e short skirts at home and thats why its weird for her. You need learn how to listen before trying to correct someone
Honestly, I was confused too because isn’t that a crop top that she has on right now, in Japan?
If it’s isn’t then what is she wearing then?
*I re-watched it and she was talking about wearing _short_ skirts. She just had a weird way of describing it; which initially didn’t make much sense to me🫢
But that’s her take.
She’s emulating a culture but in her own comfort.
She feels comfortable in safety but don’t feel it safe to be in a crop-top and short-skirts socially because no one else is doing so.
Is this guy like pro-Japan propaganda?
as a korean living in uk for a year I feel really unsafe here compared to south korea. Once I visited birmingham and was heading back my friend’s house by myself at night around midnight, the guy looked like homeless but probably not kept talking to me and chasing me. I almost got to cry but suddenly a guy walking on the street who is totally stranger helped me and took him off out of me. AND it’s not the only experience I have never been in dangerous, unsafe situation even after midnight in seoul for my entire 20ish years but while staying here or even while traveling other european countries, I was in many difficult situations and these scared me a lot.
Birmingham does have a bad reputation, more rural areas are generally better in terms of safety
pepper spray
@@joelt7869 You can't have what we have here in the US. Case in point- look up the potato peeler story. Gotta get creative to protect yourself over there in the UK. No guns, no knives, no pepper spray, etc.
@@nyla5065 haha I was going to tell her a gun but I realised she was in Uk so I said pepper spray. Can't believe the don't have that either. AN entire country defensiveless.
Not to discredit you, I'm sure that was pretty traumatizing, but it could still be worse, like the US. Petty crime rates in the UK are comparable to those in the US however. London has like 1/4 the homicide rate of New York. Britain as a whole has roughly 1/5th to 1/9th the homicide rate of the US per capita, depending on the year.
The worst states in the US like Louisiana and Mississippi have roughly 18 times the homicide rate of the UK, and are more akin to nations like Puerto Rico or Brazil. The US virgin islands meanwhile is one of the most violent places on earth, and experiences roughly 50 times the homicide rate of your typical OECD nation like the UK.
Anyway, to my understanding, Birmingham is like Britain's version of Chicago; compared to Chicago, it's a hell of a lot safer. Never left Australia myself however.
we have place for people to express their creepy side so they don't have to creep people that dont want to be creeped
Ah...that's cute..... 🤦🏼♂️
Respectful is how I’d describe it. In most places today people shove creepy in your face and expect you to accept and accommodate it.
This genuinely made me laugh out loud. Keep the creepiness contained people.
Sounds like serious encouragement, a lot of that in Japan. Maybe it keeps ot under control, but its still hosting and accepting a bunch of creeps into your society.
@@lordday7272 I think that in a lot of cases, this is the right mentality; giving people healthy outlets to do weird shit so they don't do it in other places. But Japan does seem to do it to such an excessive degree that I think it just ends up working more like encouragement, as you said.
EDIT: I'd like to expand on this and point out that the problem is more complex than that, and there's probably a lot of reasons it doesn't work in Japan. Japan has a number of underlying issues, and is known for its terrible work ethic. Stressed businessman in a country full of loneliness? Yeah, that sounds like it would lead to some weird shit.
But also please remember that, just like anywhere else in the world, there are PLENTY of bad people in Japan. Don't go there with the outlook of everyone there being honest, kind people.
EDIT: A lot of debate in the comments so allow me to clarify my point. No matter where you travel, you should never assume you're perfectly safe. Tourists attract criminals like magnets. I've heard people in the past talk about Japan like it's some promise land where no one does any wrong. It certainly up there for lowest crime rate, but it isn't zero, so when traveling you should always keep yourself safe! And again, that goes for any country. I don't care if it's Japan, the US or Iceland, always be careful!
Finally
Plenty ain't much, Japan is much safer than most other countries
@@ShowtimeLaw All they’re saying is to stay safe.
@@ShowtimeLaw I do not disagree with that, but I have still heard some horror stories from careless people who visited Japan. You should always exercise caution when outside your home country, tourists are magnets for every breed of scammer and criminal
@@ShowtimeLaw sure, but safer doesnt mean completely safe and people still shouldn't do dumb stuff and put themselves at risk. like, as a woman i wouldnt go walking around the streets of osaka in the middle of the night by myself, it may be safer than if i did it in new york but there are still rapists and muggers in japan. esp as a foreigner in any country you're an automatic target for thieves and scammers as the person above me said.

I lived in Japan for 2 years and let me tell you, you can clearly tell she is just visiting. When you live there you really see more of this darker side. Like she still wondering if maid cafes are creepy, they are. Is just a little part of the huge industry of women objectification and specifically minors or at least minor looking girls and you see this in every shape and form and media: in magazines, in different ways of business like hostess, maids, girlfriend exp, friend exp, etc. The music industry too, idols, the use of children to sing, or just having young girls dressed as school girls giving advertising on the streets. Is alarming how this is so out in the open, how is so normal to sexualize under age girls and use it to sell. And this is one big bad things, of course there is more.
Don't get me wrong, I love Japan. But it has a serious dark side that is not often talked about.
thank you for acknowledging this!! hopefully there will be a change in the future
How are maids harmed? Hell, they probably get less sexually harassed than teenagers working at McDonald’s.
@@pumpkinhill4570 I've never used the word "harm". I don't know of which country you are speaking but in Japan you barely have interaction to McDonald's workers so no, you are mistaken. But I will explain it for you.
The harm is in the exposure you see, they are so many businesses in Japan that consists in putting together an under age girl and a grown man, for supposedly giving a service like, accompany, drink together, etc. But the actual service the business offers is giving you that contact with these girls, the ones that defends these type of businesses say is only harmless conversation, but the harm is in what can happen after that, do I have to spell it for you? The sexualization of under age girls is so normalized and out in the open that people don't even wonder about this, businesses and culture alike are actually helping pedophiles get in contact with under age girls and you can bet a lot of them gets what they want and this is out in the open, normalized and practically legal. Is that enough harm for you?
How are maids underage? And what kind of business puts grown up men and underage girls together?
The idol industry indeed was quite creepy in the past and still has creepy aspect but today female fans arent any less common than male fans. Sexualization in Japan is a difficult topic and pedophilia manga are sickening but there is also a genuine kawaii culture that sees young girls as cute and not sexual.
@@bingobongo1615 Thing is the kawaii culture and the sexualization of under age girls go together, one thing supports the other. When you praise under age features like, tone of voice, cuteness, innocence, clothes (school uniform), as valuable things. Businesses will thrive on this, they will sell that as product. And this elevates it value further more, then other business will copy, adult girls will try and look and act as underage and all of this promotes it even more. A culture that normalized under age sexualization and use it to sell any product, hell, entire businesses use it as fuel.

honestly dressing immodestly in japan is usually a good way to avoid chikan and similar issues bc they know you’re foreign and they can’t predict your reaction as well
That makes no sense
That makes a scary amount of sense. A Japanese person born in their collectivist society will not want to "cause a scene" by confronting the molester, whereas a foreigner may well explode at them.
A smart note. Non conformity means unpredictability. It's unfortunate tho as someone who genuinely prefers baggy clothes
@@nosananolife8669 said like a person who has never had to think about getting assaulted. It makes perfect sense. Men who do this love a soft target that won't fight. You're lucky in your ignorance I guess.

I am really getting sick of western men talking about their issues and ignoring everyone else's.
@@deliciouspopsNo I think youre a rare guy who does NOT have anything wrong with them lol
As a guy living in Japan I can say Japan is an extremely safe country. However, several of my female friends (Asian and non-Asian) have told me about their experiences where they did not feel safe. One was molested on a train, another iirc was taken advantage of in her sleep, another was stalked and all of them regularly have dudes creeping on them.
It really is sad that no matter where you go you'll never escape gross predatorial men. It's not just Japanese men doing the creeping by the way. Foreign guys and military guys also think they can get away with anything and often they do.
So be careful when you travel (anywhere really). Japan IS a safe country. But don't check your common sense at the door.
My ex gf would mention alll of this stuff all the time
