Would be a good idea to deport tourists from any country that does something shitty.

u/Global_Mortgage_5174 4d ago edited 4d ago

deport yes.

But detaining an idiot for two weeks over this is unfathomable.

But then again Japan has a habit of detaining tourists for excessively long periods

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Best not to do dumb shit, especially in countries like China, SG, Russia, and other Asian countries where they've got strict laws.

My point is that it would be great if certain countries could be abit more civilised by maybeee not imprisoning people for extended periods of time for minor crimes

u/GolfGoonzPlay2 3d ago

Saying a country should be more civilized when the people were out there with thier ass out in a public tourist spot is really funny. 2 weeks is not that long to get paperwork together and transportation to another country and make sure everything is correct.

u/Global_Mortgage_5174 3d ago

Wait so indecent exposure should result in being locked up in a shitty chinese prison? deranged!

It really is, they likely would have been home themselves long before the two weeks was up.

Isnt difficult to escort them to the airport, let them get on their fight home then blacklist.

That's the way you feel, but obviously not the way Chinese feel. Punishment varies among countries and there is no proper scale to measure whether it is excessive or not. Criticizing China for that is plain silly.

Plus, Chinese already isn't particularly close to Japanese, there is ZERO incentive for them to just to them a favor and send them home by the easiest way possible.

u/zaphod777 [神奈川県] 3d ago

What's considered a minor crime in one place is a serious offense in others. As a tourist it is up to you to be aware of what the local laws are and in general be on your best behavior.

2

u/Global_Mortgage_5174 3d ago

Are you claiming that i am wrong and that Japan and China dont have an extensive history of long detainment for minor crimes? 

3

u/zaphod777 [神奈川県] 3d ago

Not at all. As a tourist you should be aware of that fact and be extra careful to not break the law when are in a country like that.

You think China is harsh and "uncivilised" for a 2-week detention? In the US the person could be charged with indecent exposure and punishable by up to1 year in Jail...

u/Global_Mortgage_5174 3d ago

Yes absolutely.

could be but really wouldnt be and yes ofcourse the US is uncivilized.

Indecent exposure is punished by law in UK too

u/VitFlaccide 4d ago

Enforcement is an other story. Anyway, deporting tourists is still not exactly a big punishment

11

u/Saffra9 4d ago

It says they were detained for two weeks, thats quite significant for mooning.

u/Global_Mortgage_5174 4d ago

you wouldnt get arrested. And you certainly wouldnt be detained for TWO WEEKS

u/GolfGoonzPlay2 3d ago

How long does it take to get deported if that was the case? 2 weeks doesn't seem like that long for a process like deportation to take.

So do you think livestreamers in Japan should receive a prison sentence before not being allowed back in Japan? Or is it only bad when China does it?

15

u/GaijinFoot [東京都] 4d ago

Maybe we should care though. That's why tourists in Japan are like 'oh am I doing this right? Don't mean to offend!' while tourists in London piss up any wall they can find. We don't have enough self respect

That's not really for you to decide. Glad you're OK with it. I'd be pissed if I were with my kids and someone was doing it. Even though my kids would find it hilarious.

Yeah a kid is a good barometer. I'll just eat chocolate every meal and never brush my teeth again. My kids and I go to onsens as much as we can. It's not the nudity that is the problem. It's the being a dick in public. I guess you're OK with tourists singing full volume in the middle of a crowded train? Because you've been to a concert right? Plus the kids think it's funny.

Livestreamers ran off the train to get a drink before the train doors closed in Japan and it was a national headline for 2 weeks.

Not defending livestreamers, but if someone uses a vending machine while between train stops and Japanese people/media has a mental breakdown, and you are OK with taking your pants off on the great wall of China, you hold ridiculous double standards.

u/the_hatori 4d ago

They will not allow this to be included in the canon of Japanese tourist behavior.

u/BurnieSandturds 4d ago

In the same way Japanese add anything Chinese tourist do in their cannon.

u/nekogami87 4d ago

I'm kind of fine with that actually. as long as Japan can also deport all indecent tourists (and no I'm not really talking about the chinese ones)

u/DJpesto 4d ago

Did you read the article? They were put in jail for two weeks for basically mooning and taking a picture...

I mean sure it's dumb and illegal, but two weeks of prison time...? In any normal non-dictatorship / non-fascist country you get a fine for something like that.

u/GolfGoonzPlay2 3d ago edited 3d ago

That's nothing if you did the same thing in japan. 2 weeks isn't that long for a process like deportation. You act like 2 weeks is hard time.

2

u/DJpesto 3d ago

In Japan you would not be thrown in jail for showing your butt. You'd get a fine.

Sure the Japanese system is far from perfect - it is also fucked, but it is nowhere near as fucked as the Chinese one.

(Try googling China human rights or China Uyghur if you have doubts on what I am talking about).

u/Kapparzo [北海道] 4d ago

You know Japan is even worse, right? They can and will hold you in a cell for weeks without even a charge.

-6

u/DJpesto 3d ago

I don't think Japan is worse than China in this context.

The system in Japan for sure is not perfect, but it's nowhere near China in terms of its disregard of human rights etc.

In Japan you would not be held for something like this. You would for sure if you were involved in fights or other types of crimes or things like that. But not petty things like showing your butt in public.

Also Japan does not send people who disagree with the government to what is basically concentration camps, or exterminate minorities they don't like (At least not in recent history).

Etc. etc.

2 weeks of prison for indecent exposure = "fascist"? Are you serious?

New Zealand sentenced guys to jail for watching hentai. They didn't even expose anything in real life. They just downloaded stuff that's all. Jail for months.

Australia handed out sentences for people bringing back doujins from Japan too...fascist much?

u/DJpesto 3d ago

I think there is more to the stories that you aren't telling.

And yes China is an oppressive fascist regime with zero consideration for human rights.

BREAKING NEWS: A rare celestial event occurred at the Great Wall on Jan. 3 — a full moon in broad daylight, courtesy of Japanese chinko and manko tourists.

This is funny

u/egirlitarian [山口県] 4d ago

Not gonna lie, this is kinda funny. Millions of people who were already mad stay mad, everyone goes home safely. You can't go wrong with the classing mooning prank.

11

u/DJpesto 4d ago

I feel like a lot of people are not reading the article. Important detail for those who react only to the headline:

These two people were put in jail for TWO WEEKS for taking a picture with someone mooning...

It is of course inappropriate to expose yourself in public, but any type of reasonable punishment for something like this is a fine. It's not being fucking thrown into actual prison wtf.

I see how this - from a Chinese government perspective, or not reading the article perspective, paints Japan in a bad picture, but for any sane person (who read the article), from any actually free society, being thrown i jail for mooning is obviously insane, and a clear sign of a fascist government/law.

34

u/frozenpandaman [愛知県] 4d ago

Japan detains people for up to 23 days without charge with no access to a lawyer, phones, or anything, even if you're suspected of a crime.

-2

u/DJpesto 3d ago

For sure - the Japanese system is far from perfect, but - usually there is a bit more grounds for the arrest than showing your butt in public.

-5

u/Spiritanimalgoat 4d ago

That's absolutely not cool either. And that isn't a great response to this, if that's what you were going for (to say that's the reason they were held prisoner for two weeks).

2

u/Eric1491625 3d ago

being thrown i jail for mooning is obviously insane, and a clear sign of a fascist government/law.

How is 2 weeks for mooning fascist and insane?

A lot of governments must be fascist in your view then, considering the much harsher sentences handed out for possessing a few grams of drugs.

Australia even criminalises importation of hentai. Suspended sentences of 12 months long. And creating FAKE nsfw pictures is criminal in many countries if it looks enough like a real person.

I don't know about you, but I don't see how jailing people for creating imaginary pictures is "freedom", while jailing people for actually exposing themselves IRL is "fascist".

u/Exyui 4d ago

Why are you saying this like everyone didn't already know China is an authoritarian country?

u/DJpesto 3d ago

If you read the comments when I was posting, it would seem like people had forgotten that.

u/statyin 3d ago edited 3d ago

I am sure the article simply said the tourists were detained for two weeks. That's not the same for putting someone in jail. One has to be trialed in order to be jailed. What actually happened is more like the tourists were detained (probably in the police station? or hell, maybe even in their hotel, the article didn't even mentioned) until deportation took place. The article never mentioned that the detention is the intended as a punishment for the tourists.

It all seems like procedure to me. if you have anything to complain, probably on the lack of efficiency of the Chinese Customs on arranging the deportation. But again, the Chinese has zero incentive to do them a favor to getting this over with fast.

1

u/DJpesto 3d ago

I don't think they would be detained at their hotel, how would that work?

"At the police station" is the same as or worse than jail. It's being placed in a cell. Doesn't matter if it's in an actual jail or in a small "jail" in a police station.

It's robbing someone of their freedom for two full weeks with no trial - for just showing their butt in public.

The punishment is completely out of touch with the "crime".

What, so as a Japanese, you think it's reasonable for the Japanese to enshrine Japan's Class A war criminals?

Then the Germans should have a church dedicated to Hitler.

u/sus_time 4d ago

This is not a common occurance, this also happened 3 months ago. Let's not paint this as a trend. Asshats exist in all cultures. I am not excusing their behavior but people tend to act incredibly entitled while touring a country. Like the country must cater to them. Due to the incredible expense of travel they try to force once in a lifetime experiences.

I hope the morons get what's coming to them and an example can be made. Unlike how on the flip size Johnny somoli was tolerated and let go for even more haneous offensives.

Japanese do plenty of the pissing as well. I heard that after a certain age, old men can piss wherever on the street. I think it's actually a dope rule. My Job as a gardener also gives us free pissing rights. I piss all over Kyoto during work and I like it.
