The Japanese are fuming over a gaijin YouTuber who took advantage of their hospitality “for free” by riding on buses without paying the fare and committing other crimes in the open.
In a video titled “I Travelled Across Japan For Free,” the gaijin YouTuber Fidias, who boasts 2.37 million subscribers, planned on traveling from Nagasaki to Aomori with the goal of doing it without spending money.’
The YouTuber rode a bus without paying the fare, which, unlike in the US, is a severe crime in Japan. He then got on a Shinkansen, hid in the restroom, and pretended to be sick when caught. He also bothered others by asking them to pay and hid inside hotels for free stays and breakfasts during his “challenge.”
Japanese Internet denizens commented on the gaijin YouTuber’s exploits:
“The number of stupid gaijin like these has been increasing recently. They’re also a nuisance to the proper gaijin out there.”
“Let’s beat this guy up and deport him! He’s literally uploading his crimes. Do something about it, cops. He’s no different from Ismael.”
“These annoying idiots committing crimes should be treated as terrorists.”
“The police should hurry up and arrest him.”
“I wish they’d deport these idiot gaijin YouTubers and bar them from entering.”
“People normally get arrested for that, right? It shouldn’t be weird to arrest him upon re-entry.”
“Aren’t these criminal YouTubers breaking some kind of rules? I don’t want them here.”
I cannot stand this era of social media and youtube clout chasing. Giving bums like this attention for acting ignorant in other countries should put you on “no fly” lists for that country or at least assign someone with you. You wanna act like a child and not like an adult you get a chaperone when you travel.
Japanese atrocities committed during WWII are infamous.
If he is documenting evidence of all his crimes why don’t they just arrest him?
I assume he had the bare minimum intelligence to leave the country before uploading his video.
He doesn’t look very intelligent.
maybe he can do another video show us a tip on how to travel free out of the country. getting banned and deported.
What a cretin. If he can’t be prosecuted for his crimes he should be put on a list to never return to Japan.
Very ugly face, very deserving of multiple strikes with a hammer
