The recent protest against Akihabara shops selling to Chinese tourists has incited something of a backlash against the protesters, who have been roundly condemned as being akin to bunch of yakuza thugs attempting to shake down retailers.
The video:

For those wondering, the mob’s screeching is more than a little reminiscent of the sort of speech associated with low level yakuza thugs.
Most commenters do not seem sympathetic at all:
What a bunch of crazies.
Japan’s garbage!
This is just criminal obstruction.
These guys are just a bunch of school dropout crazies, no doubt about it.
I wonder if they’re deliberately trying to worsen their own image…
They’re just a pack of racists who wanted to cause a scene.
They have Korean accents…
Why don’t they protest China directly?
Sea Shepherd…
There aren’t very many of them at all.
However you look at it they are speaking Japanese with Korean accents.
Their pronunciation is a bit strange.
This is the same level as the Chinese.
They’re just like yakuza… aren’t they ashamed to be seen like this?
This is just group onanism.
If comments about their supposed Korean accents proved true it would be an interesting revelation – in Japan ethnic Koreans are well represented in the yakuza, and even in some of the extreme right-wing groups. Whatever the truth of this, that they were a coarse bunch of hoodlums is beyond dispute.
Since (in Japan at least) such a demonstration would only serve to discredit the demonstrators seems so obvious as to cast doubt on the motives of the people organising the rally – either they are even crazier than previously thought, or they had an ulterior motive.

Yeah, you know how Korean's are so fanatic about protecting Japanese right to mercantilism...
2ch will use Any stupid excuse to blame Japan's bad behavior on Koreans won't they?
Retarded.
"With Chinese aggression plain for all to see and a government whose diplomatic policy towards China appears to be that of a vassal to its master, a more ideal breeding ground for resurgent Japanese nationalism could hardly be envisaged."
First it's an ideal display of justified protest, now its a rabble of thugs indulging in public masturbation.
What's with the change in tone from the first article on this bunch of clowns?
umm Korean Accent?
They want to dragged Korean in it?
There are way too many Chinamen raging down here... Sankaku should honestly ban those whining fags
always blaming the koreans
I think that is fucking bullshit
Oh Fuck it people! The solution here is:
1. Kick China back to it's cage; or
2. Let China abuse the world like a bully
You choose....
3. Extra Fat Boy is needed.
A Korean group call "Masturbation" mocking the situation isn't funny.
How do you know their Korean? There's no proof, except 2 japanese posters claiming them to be korean.
All gooks are the same shit to me
Silly Anon~
Chinks and Japs aren't the same as gooks...
They'd all rape you the same way though~
this isn't vietnam you inbred tard.
Gook and Chink are nicknames given to east asians by us soldiers.
EDGY COMMENT, BRO. I bet your mommy is real proud of ya.
From now on I'm gonna just ignore all this lunacy. I don't expect common sense to win the day but they could at least try.
Group onanism?
It'd be interesting if there are women amongst them. But seeing as most of the protesters are most, in not all, male, well.. This is mostly turning off, to include the annoyances of the protest itself. Unless you're gay 8D
Sakura-san!!!
Fucking japs.
Why wasnt this country completely occupied by more than one power like germany, instead of just the americans.
everyone knows that the US let these criminals off the hook easily for cooperation against the russians.
If nationalist china, soviet union, korea, france and GB occupied Japan and divided them under their rule, there would be a far better and fairer tokyo-trial than the farce McArthur did, to just slap assholes and murderers likes Shiro Ishii lightly on the wrist and proceed to milk them with human experimentations.
Fuck. Japan should've fucking got raped by soviets and chinese soldiers for revenge and burned down to the ground like germany.
FUCK USA.
FUCK JAPAN.
People like you amaze me. So much, in fact, i'd like to see you get put into a cage in our local zoo, under the header "Human idiot: Don't feed the troll".
vote down someone who says the truth.
way to fuck up your credibility and show your maturity.
oh wait- you are just an anon. so retardness and herp derp is the norm here...
You're Anon too. Troll you have been spotted!
Nah hes just chinese.
Blood solves nothing, child. What is past is past; lust for revenge only deepens hate.
i faild
Some of them do have accents, but to me, they sound more like regional accents than korean...
this reminds me of jackie chans shinjuku incident
They have Korean accents…
It sucks to be Sofmap.
Where is relativity between PC parts shop and Territorial dispute?
I completely oppose those extremely right wing association, and deem them for shame of the all japanese.
全然関係ないけどPCパーツさがすときは祖父→TUKUMO→尼の順で探してる。
Boring!!!
people these days dont fucking know how to protest
lol i guess everybody hates anybody
I guess it sucks when businesses don't give a shit about racist idiots,huh? Oh well, ultra-nationalism always attracts stupid people, so this should be expected.
omg! is that mean no more One piece for china
who is that one guy anyway, that protest leader in the beige suit? I've seen him in a couple of other videos already (yamanote halloween train protest for example)...
I thought 2ch was going to support them.
lol they all look so weak
good luck doing anything but getting your asses kicked in any country
Why these people so rascit we are all humain we are same race stupid some japanaise there need study histoiry
Studying history only makes you hate more... and believe your hate to be justified
sup korean
I feel as though the 2ch guys are too ashamed to admit their people are doing this. And so they call them Koreans.
0:04-0:50 i think i heard real Korean accents in the background.
So many Korean-accent experts here.
Lol, THE TRUE IDENTITY OF UYOKU DANTAI!! Can't help but laugh every time I see this on the internet.
Japan, don't try to push your own problems onto Koreans. Uyoku are your own damn trash. Deal with it.
You weren't there, for all you know it could've been unless you know what a korean-japanese accent is.
+1 for kyosak
-2 testicles for Anon 09:35
prove it?
I do actually.
What were you getting at again?
these ppl dun look like a particularly educated bunch..
If you've been around Koreans, you know how they inflect their speech when they talk. It's evident from the way they speak.
I think they only "suspects" they are Koreans.
But it is compreensible. They are bringing images of neonazi to all the right wings!
Maybe I said wrongly my english.
"They are bringing images of neonazi to all the right wings!"
The "they" I refer on it is not the Koreans.
It's that ones who made protests at Sofmap.
