Hashimoto: no sex slaves please, we're Japanese

Girls in Japan’s War Brothels

To the Editor:

“Apology, if Not Closure, for ‘Comfort Women’ ” (front page, Dec. 29) describes an agreement meant to settle the dispute over the “Korean women” who were “lured or coerced to work in brothels” for Japanese soldiers during World War II.

As survivors have testified, many targets of this brutal system of sexual slavery were not “women,” but girls of 13 or 14. Many had not even begun menstruating when they were shipped as human cargo to battlefronts across Asia and subjected to daily rape.

These were not only war crimes, but crimes of child sex trafficking. Until they are represented as such in textbooks in Japan — and in news articles in the West — there is no true justice for these victims.

her claim is partly true. but why on earth, as usual, do this kind of people try applying a partial truth to the entire?
its also a partial truth that some of comfort women are professional whores who earned tons of money.
and why the parents sold their daughters to j-army brothels, not private ones is that it was trusted that j-army brothels at least were sure to pay money unlike private ones.

some k-youngers are protesting and claiming for compensation...excuse me, japan already paied it a long time ago but their government pocketed it. it cannot help but amaze me that they are confidently protesting while even dont know such a basic knowledge about this issue.

I truly hope, for all our sakes, that the Japanese Government are not silly enough to argue this. It's absurd - Like a person caught shoplifting protesting to the court that everyone is ignoring all the times s/he paid for goods and is just unfairly focusing on the time they didn't and got caught.

To be fair to Takeapoo, that is solid East Asian Male Think: any contradiction or discrepancy nullifies any truth to the argument in toto............if you oppose the argument in question. Inconsistencies are only acceptable if you agree with the basic argument. It's like Special Olympians running against Usain Bolt and claiming he cheated because he's really good. Or not...........

This is turning into a real shiite show. The pissy perps are demanding actions not specified in the agreement, and the pissy victims are, well, still pissy. I am genuinely disappointed they managed to fuck things up so royally.

Pretty much THIS

All this mess did was serve to amplify the pissyness. (and give the worse Koreans another excuse to go nationalistic and hate Japanese)

[Takechanpoo]

its pretty ironic that the opinions of english medias about this issue apparently gradually have been getting to close to the ones of japan side which they have labelled far-right or revisionist. it means if you investigate the documents and face what truely happened, you cannot but help be on the side of japan more or less. and there are the documents both of japan and of usa firmly kept, in which describe that at least part of those comfort women are professional voluntary prostitutes. nobody can deny it.

korea side has been insisting that there are tons of evidences indicating that j-soldiers suddenly rushed into local villages and directly systematically kidnapped 200000 of screaming girls(nobody yet has indicate the grounds of the number 200000!). but they never have shown those evidences. actually all of the "new" informations written in the brochure which k-government prepared to disturb Abes parliament speech in washington are previously covered and already finished to scrutinize by japan side a long time ago. if they really have tons of evidences indicating direct organized kidnapping by j-soldiers, they should show it in public and thoroughly rebut japans claim. they should have done it from the beginning. but they never do it. instead all they can do is simply repeat political performance forever. western medias report it without verifying and not a few world people naively believe the claims of k-side. people are easily influenced and controlled by stereotype, collective emotions and labeling made by medias

[Takechanpoo]

koreans, who never want to abandon victim card, plan to demonstrate against this time agreement in north america, europe, australia etc.
im looking forward to seeing how world ppl interpret koreans schizophrenic reckless rushness which will expand every part of the world from now on.

[matsuki]

If the protest is against Abe's after the fact demand, not so sure you'll get the reactions you expect.

[kurogane]

The statue removal condition was an after the fact condition not agreed to in the joint text but the Korean statements since seem to suggest it was a tacit agreement. Non-removal is a massive slap in the face to the people that just agreed to pay compensation to people who were supposed to be paid compensation by their own government out of the compensation previously paid to that government by the people who have now generously agreed to pay more compensation. If the Koreans had any dignity, humanity, or grace they would agree to move it to a less provocative location. Why can't they just put it outside the old Imperial Palace the Japanese burned down and get everything in one place?

Agreed...but in my school of PR, I don't think Japan should stop payment over this. Korea looks far worse if they get paid and leave that shit up.

[kurogane]

Agreed, but this is serious Pissy Old LDP Monkey Man face shit that exploded after the fact, me thinks. The backroom boys and the vocal Silent Majority might not let it pass without Abe agreeing to look tough, even though he then looks just as stupid and childish. The real problem here is that the issue has become one of purely domestic consumption on both sides. Nobody really gives a flying fuckme about those poor ladies; that's probably the real disappointment here: it's all just show and tell, and nobody ever really cared about the victims. Look at the way our resident baboon brain talks about those poor women. He's almost as bad as that media mouth whore Sakurai.

[Takechanpoo]

The leading scholar in China on comfort women, Su Zhiliang, of Shanghai Normal University, told me the number of victims may be much higher -- 400,000 -- with 200,000 Chinese women forced to work as unpaid prostitutes.

With this agreement, South Korea and Japan are attempting to put behind an issue that has long plagued relations between the two nations. As many as 400,000 women, according to one study, were said to have been sent to military brothels stationed in various Japanese-occupied regions in Asia during World War II.

suddenly increased by 2X
why the fuck english medias report those "scholars" opinions without verification?
how many times will they repeat the same thing?

[Russell]

how many times will they repeat the same thing?

That's actually a question I wanted to ask you...

[matsuki]

Ehhhh, how many J-troopers were there? At a certain point, the claims of insane number and each woman servicing X number of troops per day hits a wall of logic.

Apparently the army had "6,095,000 men at its height."

What the number of troops per day figures hit is a wall of disbelief. I remember reading that the numbers were one of the few bits that seems to work. Also, keep in mind we're talking about the subhuman monkeys of the IJAF; they were effectively just fucking them to death, some just happened to survive. The IJAF troops were themselves so dehumanised they were little more than animals on 2 legs, though that isn't an excuse of course. I think they're better now, but under the right circumstances far too many Japanese men are still little better than rabid dogs let loose in a chicken coop.

The real problem here is that the Koreans are almost always whiney mutts: they need to be told to STFU and learn they were beaten whether they deserved it or not, and Obama should kick their garlic stinking asses hard enough to make them, as he's obviously the backroom arm twister in chief on this deal.

[Takechanpoo]

most of j-soldiers were extremely starving and literally became skin and bones in the whole war time because empire j-army unbelievably(!) didnt have the system of military logistics. so some of them even had to cannibalize allys soldiers, the locals and even other j-soldiers to survive. in that extreme state, normally ppl get horny so much? i highly doubt. some comfort women said they had to fuck with 100 j-soldiers per day in their testimonies. if that testimony is true......400,000 x 100 = 40,000,000. what on earth a great bloodcurdling j-libidos!!!
