Women Fight Back with Chikan Brand

Japanese researchers striving to rid the nation’s trains of the menacing gropers who supposedly infest them have developed a novel countermeasure: a sticker victims can use to stamp the hands of chikan with a red “X,” allowing them to be readily found in a crowd.
The ink used is said to be highly difficult to remove from the skin, posing a severe problem to anyone so marked.
There is some concern that in the process of branding an assailant, innocent bystanders in the vicinity could be marked with the ink, to say nothing of the possibility of unscrupulous women branding innocent men for fun or profit.
The possibility of assailants wearing disposable gloves also seems not to have entered into the equation…

LOL!
I want one of these so bad. xD
I'll go around stamping my male coworkers, and we'll all have a laugh about it.
Unless you're the only one who have read about this. 'cause if you are, you're just gonna look like a maniac ^^
fingerless gloves.. c'mon
The... SCARLET LETTEEEEEEERRRRRR
Same thing I thought. XD
Because girls wearing X stickers on her breasts isnt insinuating or seductive at all
What Japanese women need to do is dress how ever they want.Whatever you do hope that Ink doesn't get in your Pantys.
What happens when it's cold out and all the men have mittens on to keep their hands warm?
Well I guess they'll have to use a taser.
I suspect they're illegal in Japan but then there's always the black market or you can just build one.
They're actually very simple devices a few caps and resistors, two transformers and one or two transistors.
Some may use a timer chip like a 555 and a power transistor or MOSFET.
I would like this website much more if the titles were not "kawaii baka chikan neko sugoi pocky desu" all the fucking time!
fuck you too buddy ^____^
Indeed :)
yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh riiight....
this site would also be better without people like you.
just an suggestion though...
women possesses the screech of death, so yeh why not use that. anyone ought to stop.
Dude, Japan! People in general there are way more anal about not acting in disturbing ways in public. That lifetime of training will most likely make them only freeze up in confusion and shock rather than shriek like some banshee set ablaze.
why not just use cameras everywhere on the train.To see if it was intentional or accident.
Because they're so fucking crowded that you wouldn't be able to see much, even from a high vantage point. Your view would be really obscured. Sorta like at a crowded concert or something, you would have a hard time seeing where everyone's hands are.
well you need camera on women and groping sensors.Oh wait it's too crowded,guess you can't be helped.
We're living in the 21st century now.
Carry a gun you idiots. Don't use a stupid ink stamp.
Yer sure, pull out a gun on a crowded passenger train... Great idea.
I bow to your superior stupidity.
that comment just made me laugh hardly ^^
better yet scream "I´m gonna get ya chikan!!!" with an crazy look in ya eyes...
No a taser would be a more appropriate weapon.
Use of one would put a stop to unwanted groping very quickly.
What mostly interests me is this part:
"The ink used is said to be highly difficult to remove from the skin, posing a severe problem to anyone so marked."
How does this work, exactly? If you scrub your skin hard enough, surface skin cells flake off. (If you scrub still harder, the entire layer of skin may come off - but that's not my point). Wouldn't this remove any paint adhering to these cells? Yes, the skin underneath would be suspiciously pink and very sensitive (possibly bleeding in places, even), but it would not have ANY paint left on it. True, stamping a hand with any highly visible paint is enough for attendants at the next train station to positively ID the culprit. But how can you make the paint so "difficult to remove" that a bit of soap and water and a lot of scrubbing won't remove it?
Let's take this one step further: Women should be recommended to carry hot coals in a thermos bottle and/or tattoo guns. Now THERE's a non-removable solution.
TL;DR: Out, damned spot!
oh shit
this is gonna be hard for me
Except for the implication of ruining expensive suits and other equipment, you could at any time get a full tatoo for your hand. I suppose there are even countries where this would be judged as assault so ... yeah. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU GET THOSE IDEAS!
can anyone tell me where that above pic is from?
Ah, but then you'd know if it was a pervert by viewing his suspicious gloved hands, wouldn't you?
I could see a group of girls just stamping each other for fun, unfortunately...
Or y'know, every guy in the crowd!
just wondering how "Equality Now" and Agnes-chan are going to be involved in this...
Abusing it like every other angry bitch, probably.
What if men stamp it on women?
They should wear arm bands of tiny penises, disclosed from society in ghettos, marked as inferior, sent to chikan cam- ah, f00k dat shiet
X
why dont the women just scream, unless they dont want to ^.^
thats what i have always wondered.
Lol, didn't expect that my friend's awful idea to stamp every rapist and molesters with a "RAPIST!" mark on the forehead is also thought by other people.
Is your friend a member of a famous group called Equality Now?
they should just wear spiked underwear
we'll see the chikans because their the only ones with holes on their hands
Unless it is packed in the train..then everyone nearby will have holes in them.
This is retarded, if you really had a problem with the person touching you you could always grab and twist or give them a swift knee.
yes,if women were capable of effectivly fighting back then those gropers wouldn't do it that much.
But some women either don't fight back or are weak and fighting back could always result in a troublesome situation where he would punch her back or something.
1) I don't see many women who are incapeable of hitting someone in the balls. I think its more of a choice than an inability to do anything about it.
2) I don't really think the kind of guy who's groping a woman on the train thats to packed for her to effectively escape would have what it takes/be able to punch her in public.

Many people freeze up. I would have as a schoolkid... then I learned a martial art and my instinctive reaction has changed.
Yes, clearly a guy who is deviant enough to go around grabbing strange women on trains would draw the line at hitting a woman. These men are well known to have moral boundaries they simply will not cross.

but i do wonder are there women who let them selfself enjoy groping.
What all do they do then?
so cut
What we need are ass or boob (can double as padding for that self-conscious young lass) dye-packs. One ass grope and your assailant, yourself, as well as those around you will be covered with dye! What better way of ensuring that you have witnesses to your assailant by marking everyone near the vicinity!
i lol'd
Yeah, watch out!
She's got an exploding-ass dye-marker kit installed.
now is the time to start a glove company
Hahaha, I want one of these stamps xD
Gloves are like condoms. They diminish the 'feel'.
and actully, withouth any propes lubrication, latex on rough skin is not something nice to feel.
but still, can save you a lot of problems, xD
Fingerless gloves... problem solved.
if i were in japan i'd stamp in the forehead as well.
*sigh*
someone doesn't seem to grasp the idea...
why hand? if i were the chick i'd stamp the kunt in the forehead rofl
For what?
For butt loads of fun and "blackmailing"? :P
Dang, AM gonna try to be a chikan once before I die!
Yea... could see a potential abuse of this stamp.
@21:33
Confirming that Chuo-sen going west of Shinjuku station is the best, most crowded one. Lots of residential areas that way and every morning at 0700-0800 or so there will be many schoolgirls to be had.
paradise?
Stamping someone's hand should be illegal, isn't dye toxic?
I may as well bring an electric buzzer and shave the head of every woman who refuses to date me thus I judge her a lesbian.
age of school girls being???
Why don't they just put an armed guard in every car and shouting gets there attention.
dang, was gonna try to be a chikan once b4 i die...
Randomly stamping strangers and shouting "Chikan, chikan!!" xD Though it'd work better if I was a woman >.>
well said
What about stamping women?
Being male = 2x humiliation of the one you stamp :P
LMAO, but honestly I also see this as a prime tool for mischef ;)
Indeed... Indeed ;)
Someone is going to have a lot of fun stamping randoms :P
The first thing I thought of was "how many guys are going to suffer at the hands of angry waifus"
heh... gloves.
the idea itself is not thought of...
Dumb...
I thought they have seperate man and woman trains? Why would woman be complaining is other woman gropers. Otherwise there will be lots of glove wearing man.
then again... you'd spot a chikan with gloves too
So those guys at the trainstations with the white gloves and blue suits are all chikans?!
Why aren't they arrested?
(my sarcasm is now switched off.)
What if every man starting wearing gloves scared they be marked by mistake. Then how can you tell who is Chikan. Can't Chikan get grope free pass just put on glove to blend in after they get mark and take it off to grope again. What if woman accidentally mark them selves while handling it are they Chikan now?
@Anon 15-10-2009 19:57
In that case, anyone not wearing a glove is chikan.
Messed? Yeah. Which is exactly why it could happen.
Because separate carriages isn't that common and it's not as if a single carriage for women would be enough for all women who travel on trains.
yet female gropers are much, much more sexy then male ones
But if she's female and attractive, why would she need to grope?
She could just ask. Only ugly chicks would need to grope. xD
"yet female gropers are much, much more sexy then male ones"
This isn't nearly so true as you might like to believe.
"I thought they have seperate man and woman trains?"
This really does sound like the best long term solution to these kinds of problems. If men and women just can't get along, why not just separate them? It's not without successful historical precedent. Really, the sexes have been very much separated in most societies for most of history. It's only in modern times with increasing population densities that they've been forced into perpetual close quarters - with results that no one seems pleased with.
Actually in México there are separated sections on the subway for men and women at some hours. In the morning from 6 to 8 am and in the afternoon from 6 pm to 9pm. This is to prevent such incidents in peak hours. And it had good results.
Japan's trains are so crowded. How can they be sure to get the right "chikan"?
simple
1. stamp on ur butt
2. wait for chikan to touch it
3. ???
4. profit
but need good timing or ink gonna dried
What kind of chikan would wear a glove? You do it for the sensation.
You can also stamp it on his face...
Really? Like you haven't had a fantasy about being molested in a train :P
We start producing gloves...where the end of the fingers are visible so you at least feel something with the fingers, and still can't get marked.
Wouldn't wearing a glove be like wearing a rubber?
Yes it would, and you'd be wearing it for the exact same reason.
