LimburgLimbo posted:Yo I'm not doubting it happened to you and I don't think any of us were, but "touts will literally abduct you" is not exactly an accurate statement because the suggestion is that it's a regular occurrence, which I doubt, and most people here doubt, based upon our combined decades of living in Japan, and Aredna's presumably literal decade of boozing in Roppongi (which is impressive when you consider he hasn't been in Japan for a decade, but Roppongi tends to warp time). But they didn't say "oh really, that's not my experience, do you mean...?" they said "no, you're wrong" Much like with ohhboy, it's not our fault if someone sounds like a weenie.

Bear-hugging and carrying off random foreign women in an extremely popular tourist area just to get them into izakaya (bars where you drink and order lots of small dishes of food to share) is the weird part really. Some random tout breaking down and going off crazy hard on someone is believable (the Kabukicho story), the idea that it's even a grey-area business practice to loving pick women up and carry them to cheap lovely bars on Takeshita-dori is what's going to set off bullshit alarms, because lmfao that's bullshit

nickmeister posted:As for the Tokyo kidnapper story, what's their game plan? They physically carry you into the bar to...? I mean are they trying to force you to patronize their bar or are they trying to abduct you into slavery? That sounds seriously scary. Also, Japan seems like a weird place to go to commit felonies, but I guess the Japanese police largely ignore it if they keep it confined to their one little area and only pray on other foreigners? Japan definitely has a human trafficking problem, but it's mostly a receiver, and even if they're going to abduct someone they'd probably just drug them, also why would they target foreign tourists? Japan has a shitton of girls who live invisible lives working mizushoubai who probably would not even be noticed if they disappeared. They usual scam with touts is occasionally the really seedy places will charge an "entrance fee" of a couple hundred bucks just for going in, without mentioning it. But if you literally physically take someone into someplace thats not likely to fly. I have no doubt that she came across a crazy dude but it's not a sustainable or profitable tactic to literally just pick up people off the street so it's not like it's some established tactic for touts. The story here is "some dude/ettes are potentially violent nutbags" but that's not really news or unique to Japan or touts or anything.

I'm not trying to discredit or back anyone up, and this set of experiences only applies to what I have seen in korea, but yeah, guys will totally grab, push, pull, carry, coerce, etc. women into their booking clubs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booking_(clubbing)) . It's partly a cultural thing (oh no I'm a woman, I can't go there and get all slutty unless someone forces me!") partly a patriarch thing (loving bitch be my cock hole and serve me drinks GET IN THERE) and partly girls just scamming guys for drinks like everywhere else in the world.

While we are on the subject of misogyny, one of my best buddies in China was a Turkish dude named Torker. He was in China avoiding Turkish military conscription for as long as he could maintain a valid visa. From what I could tell, he supported himself with a mix of English teaching, night club table giggoloing, and his true passion, the pursuit and exploitation of "Chinese shoo-gar mamas." Torker and I spent lots of long nights playing dice, mooching free drinks at night clubs, and driving around town drunk on the motor scooter one of his shoogar mamas gave him. I think he told any Chinese person who asked that he was an American from Nevada, where he was an exchange student for one semester in college. Any woman we didn't know was invariably 'this beetch,' and his constant fixation was on 'her legs, my god!' He would call me up about once a week to yell at me "[haki]! you should have come to [night club] last night! I try to call! This beetch! Her legs! My god! loving god! You should have seen her!" He had a system for trying to date Chinese girls and obtain new shoogar mamas. He kept five numbers saved in his phone, numbered one through five, no names, each corresponding to a 'beetch'. If a prospect didn't work out, he would delete the phone number and a slot would open up for a new one. Whenever it didn't work out, and it usually didn't, he would tell me all about it, and the story was pretty much always the same. "Haki, these loving Chinese beeches!" "Yeah Torker, what happened?" "Last days, I was at the club, and I meet this beetch, and I tell you, this beetch, her legs, my god! And I get her number, I put her as number 3, in my phone!" "Yeah?" "That was three days ago, and today, I call her, I say in Chinese, hi, this Torker, you want to go to coffee? And she say no, I cannot go, sorry! So I delete her number! This loving bollshit! All these Chinese beetches! They are all the same!" He loved to scheme and plot, and told me a story from his time as an exchange student. He took an English lit class, and his professor made had them read a book then write a paper about it, but wouldnt let them do a book that had been made into a movie. He didn't want to read a book, so he hatched a plan. The instructor was a woman, and, unsurprisingly, he admired her legs, so he would go to her office hours all the time to leer at her. Each week he would tell her that he couldn't get into whatever book he had picked, because of his English, and beg to be allowed to switch to a different one. She agreed three or four weeks in a row, but the assignment was coming due, and she broke down and told him he could read whatever book he was able to get through, as long as he did the assignment. Beaming with pride, he found a book that had been adapted into a movie, and watched the movie. He called me up one night and wanted me to tell anyone who asked that he had been with me all night, because he had crashed the SUV his new shoogar mama was letting him drive, and ran off because he didn't have a drivers license. He and I were the last people from our group of friends to leave China. He went home to face his conscription the same week I left.

From my understanding this is something different because the girls already willingly go there. I've actually been to one of these places in Busan, though not by choice. I was visiting Korea during a break from Japanese language school and it was me, my former Korean housemate from Tokyo, and his two friends, one of which was a rather short and not particularly good looking chef in what looked like schoolboys bowl cut who tried to fight someone about 3 times that night, from what I gather, though I'm not sure on details as I know virtually no Korean and the only person I could talk to was my former housemate. Our common language was Japanese, and honestly his Japanese was not that good. Anyway we went drinking a bit, then he said lets go to a club. I thought it was a normal club, but there seemed to be some difficulty at the entrance, I think because they thought I might be military; I usually kept my hair in a buzzcut then, and generally had that sort of skinniness you see in a fresh-out-of boot Marine that joined to make something of himself and get ripped, but had only gotten so far as to become skinny as a hell once they had to run every day and were separated from going for seconds and thirds of their momma's special enchilada. So I could see where they were coming from. My friend eventually negotiated us in, and we went to this huge underground club with a high ceiling and crazy stage that had moving walls. I think it was previously (or even currently, in the daytime) some sort of theater or event space. We sat down, got the whisky and fruit course, where they brought us whisky and fresh fruit, which which I presume would have been as awful of a combination as it sounds were it not for the soju drank previously, after which everything else is either at-least-better-than-the-loving-soju or the kind of numb deliciousness that only comes from being proper drunk. It was suggested that we get some girls; being the goony goon I was at the time I was hesitant to try and hit on girls who I could not talk to at all, but it seemed that wouldn't be an issue, as nobody at my table was standing up to go to the dance floor. This didn't seem that conducive to chatting up girls, but little did I know that while I wasn't looking my friend had negotiated with one of the staff, who a few minutes later came back *literally dragging two girls* who were at least putting on a show of resistance across to our table. This weirded me the gently caress out, but then I realized looking across at the other tables that this was happening everywhere, with girls getting dragged from table to table. It was odd as hell, but my friend was busy talking to a girl himself, and my questions were not to be answered until one of the girls brought by happened to speak English. She explained to me the system, and told me that most of the people, girls included, there were actually there for the afterparty of her university's graduation ceremony. Why the gently caress they would go there willingly for graduation party I do not know, and doubt I got a good answer for.

has anybody read Tokyo Vice lots of "foreigners in japan" stories that kind of resemble the chinese ones here. he's sort of a nerd that becomes a journalist, fluent in Japanese and works for a major paper. even as a veteran he has a hard time interviewing anyone because they all tell him to go away and they alredy subscribe to the paper and then look confused when he explains he's a journalist working for it Also foreign strippers get killed and no one gives a poo poo and in one case the heads of a yakuza group go to UCLA to get liver transplants after lots of bribery. All fun stories
