The heroine of MeToo suddenly appeared in the world
Japanese journalist Shiori Ito first appeared on the world stage in the BBC documentary "Japan's Secret Shame." In it, she stated that "growing up in Japanese society, everyone is a victim of sexual crimes. "
She has also published a book worldwide, "black box," about a case she claimed to have been raped and filed a lawsuit against Noriyuki Yamaguchi, freelance journalist.
Both in the documentary and book, and every interview, she claims all Japanese girls are victims of sex crimes.
An inconvenient truth
She is closely associated with a comfort women's group with Yoon Mi-hyang of South Korea and a Japanese NGO that supports it.
According to world statistics, Japan's rape rate is 1.02 per 100,000, and it's kept this extremely low sex crime rate for decades.
This fact is very inconvenient for the comfort women group.
The statues of comfort women, whose number is increasing yearly around the world, inscribe the Japanese military abducted and 200,000 girls to become comfort women during WW II, and recently added Vietnam to inscription.
For their story to be true, Japan must be a very dangerous sexual predator. However, the statistics and the fact that Japan is one of the safest countries in the world both don't match their "evil Japanese" story.
Narrative that reinforce the barbaric Japanese
The narrative that "Japanese school girls are molested on the train every day, their skirts cut off and semen doused, and the classroom is full of talk about it, but no one ever reports it to the police or school" was necessary
to imply that there should be many more hidden sex crimes in Japan.
counterattack
A Diet member Mio Sugita liked an alleged defamatory tweet about her, and was sued to pay 550,000 yen in damages, had published a book, "Japanese Who Build Comfort Women Statues Around the World."
In this book, Sugita exposed the reality that certain Japanese nonprofit groups have colluded with Korean comfort women groups to build comfort women statues around the world to humiliate Japan.
Also, the journalist Noriyuki Yamaguchi, who was accused of rape by her to sentenced
3,300,000yen for damage, had written a documentary about the Lai Dai Han, atrocities that Korean troops comitted during Vietnam war, just before this rape incident.
The two cases may seem to be separate issues regarding her, but they are in fact deeply connected at the root,
especially in that both need to keep Japan an evil country of evil greediness of sexual abuses.
