A denizen of 2ch relates the events he saw unfold on a packed Tokyo train.
From the VIP board:
Woman: “Hey! You just touched me! Get off the train with me now!”
Creepy Otaku: “Wha-It wasn’t me!”
Woman: “No, it was definitely you! Enough already, get off the train!”
Creepy Otaku: “…”
He’s done for… serves him right.
2ch responds:
“Women are amazing aren’t they?
With one word, even if it is a lie, they can end your life completely!”
“I don’t know what really happened but if he was falsely accused I feel sorry for him.”
“If I make a serious reply the correct way of handling this is to dash and run.”
“Well, if you run and get away that works but if you are caught it’s over for you. I think you have to try and avoid getting off at all costs, and keep denying the accusations.”
“I’ll never forget that guy’s face. By the way it was the Seibu Shinjuku line.”
“I wasn’t finished – I’m still working.”
“He’s finished. If he has no witness to say he didn’t do he’s done for. All that remains is for them to take all his money and for him to lose his job.”
“Another sacrifice to some wretched woman.”
“What about the woman? If she was ugly it’s got to be false.”
“Why’d he go off with the woman if he didn’t do it?”
“Aren’t there any men only carriages yet? Oh, right, the feminazi’s source of income would disappear wouldn’t it?”
“Somebody put up that picture please.”
“How many of those are there anyway?”
“Something like 1 or 2 of every 10 on the Saikyo line.
I saw an old guy running at full pelt to catch a train, and he got unlucky and jumped aboard a woman only carriage. A station attendant immediately dragged him off the train and it departed. Seeing that breathless old guy standing there dumbfounded was really depressing.”
“Try stashing some gay porn in your bag. That’ll fox them.”
“My uncle was sacked after being caught (he says the charge was false). The victim offered to settle for cash but he was furious and instead she really got into it and told him she’d end his life.”
“Something like this… Tokyo is a scary place.”
“I should explain a bit more what happened.
The train was totally packed. The train was one of the ones with no straps near the doors for people to grab onto. I was hanging onto a strap with both hands.
I was too far away to see properly, but the creepy otaku was just a normal guy I think. When the train arrived at the station the guy got off with a woman in a suit after some talking, and there was a big fuss on the platform.
As there was nothing to hold onto I think it could well have been a false charge. The train was pretty beat up and it was a rough ride. He could have been guilty or innocent really.”
“It’d be best to have gender segregated carriages really.”
“From another thread in 2009:
When I was accused of being a chikan I accused them of being pickpockets.
Of course, I wasn’t actually a chikan, but on 2 occasions I was accused of it on trains. ‘You had your hand in my pocket – that’s called pickpocketing!’ I got out of false accusations twice this way – it’s true.
The first time the station staff didn’t know what to do and let me go.
The second time the accuser was a high school girl. When they told her they’d have to phone her school to do a check of her bag she broke down in tears and said she was probably mistaken. I pressed the matter and told them to check her bag, and she got even more upset. Then I said ‘if it’s that bad I’ll overlook it – I’ll forgive you and go home.’ They let me go.
A lot of these schoolgirls are apparently carrying cannabis or very large amounts of money [from prostitution] so being accused of being pickpockets would stick, and cannabis would obviously be the end for them.”
“I remember some idiot girl saying ‘if you’re hard up for cash just say someone groped you!’”
“A society which has you getting on those stupidly packed trains to commute… Honestly Tokyo is finished, it’s totally overcrowded and the infrastructure is completely inadequate – amongst global capitals it has to be the worst one around.”
“So this is equality.”
Looks like someone needs to grow a pair and smack a bitch
What about launching some nuclear weaponry and putting an end to the world? It’s the easiest way of solving all the problems I can think of. I am dead serious. Death is equal for everyone.
I weep for japan, pretty soon you folks will have women randomly calling you out for crimes you really didn’t commit just to get some cash.
Here in the states, if a woman gets groped, chances are the person doing it will get an ass beating for it(from the woman in question) and that would be the end of it.
Also, here in the states, we have something called due process, this wouldn’t hold up in our court systems unless there was undeniable proof, and a womans words, no matter how much my GF tries to tell me, do NOT hold the ultimate truth of life and death.
Thus it would be booted from the courts and the woman would then be sued for libel and slander if she lost…..Beautiful thing eh?
If Japanese men would actually man up and protect female passengers who were actually being groped instead of standing there and ignoring it this crap wouldn’t happen to them. I don’t have any sympathy for these men. The vast majority of Japanese don’t do anything when they see an injustice then wonder why methods of protection go overboard. They need to grow some balls, stop whining, and take some responsibility for what they brought on themselves.
And just how do you propose anyone do anything about it? The other passengers almost never know anything is going on until the screaming happens.
I don’t see ANY way other passengers could “protect” would-be groping victims.
man wish people stop acting as if men are the victims, yes there will be cases when they are but there will be cases they have done something. Its not like women are so evil, some people sound rather Misogynistic
Except that men CAN be victimized. That’s the current climate of Misandry for you.
“Go ahead and convict every accused man on flimsy evidence, because the feelings and problems of men aren’t important. Hurting men is just fine so log as we know none of the actual offenders get away with it.”
