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.

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.
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.
f♥♥k. Japan should’ve fucking got raped by soviets and chinese soldiers for revenge and burned down to the ground like germany.
f♥♥k USA.
f♥♥k JAPAN.
Blood solves nothing, child. What is past is past; lust for revenge only deepens hate.
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 f♥♥k up your credibility and show your maturity.
oh wait- you are just an anon. so retardness and herp derp is the norm here…
Nah hes just chinese.
You’re Anon too. Troll you have been spotted!
They have Korean accents…
this reminds me of jackie chans shinjuku incident
Some of them do have accents, but to me, they sound more like regional accents than korean…
