I had no idea there were so many. Yeah, some of the history of various groups there is pretty interesting. I found out awhile back that the unidentified asian heritage I had that my family typically assumed was Kazakh or the like might have been Ainu, judging from some heirlooms. It's so far back that there'd be basically no modern connection, but I read up a bit about it at the time. Unfortunately the treatment of other ethnic groups in Japan is depressingly familiar. I couldn't even find anything definitive about other indigenous groups other than the Ainu, who got about the same treatment as indigenous people tended to get. It was only this year that the Japanese government officially recognized the Ainu as an indigenous group.

RatHat posted:The arsonist blocked stairways and fire exits, it wasn't really an issue of fire safety. While fire safety inspections aren't meant for people actively trying to kill people, I'd thought from the pictures I'd seen that there weren't any fire escapes or the like, not that they were blocked?

Phobophilia posted:Basically, there's only so much procedures and regulations can do when a malicious actor wants to target an act of violence against you. Because they will try to probe for weaknesses and subvert security systems. No one can really deal with that, least of all a group of overworked animators trying their best to make deadlines. Try as you might to make sense of it, lay blame on an overall group, it really was one random act of violence against those who neither deserved nor saw it coming. On that note, from the sounds of things the guy took in an enormous amount of petrol that he started spraying around. I wonder if the doors weren't locked or something? I don't think there's any way to make sense of it, or any group to be blamed. The entire thing is just another absurd, random act of violence is an absurd world. Reasonable measures only work with reasonable people. That being said, if anything can be taken away from this to make it harder to happen in the future... That's about as much as can be hoped for, I guess?
