You're viewing part of a thread.
I'm a Japanese. Can you point me to your source now?
Edit:
Here are mine. I should've put these before all this nonsensical nightmare with this person that follows after.Government denies that "comfort women" were coerced by the Japanese military.
A scholarly article
explaining how Shinzo Abe's government denied coercion in 2007.Here's the formal Japanese record from the congress.
What source are you looking for? That comfort women refers to women forced into sexual slavery for the Japanese military during the first half of the 20th century? That's just the definition of the word. I'm not sure what you're asking for.
"comfort women"... are very specific sex slaves
That Japanese people recognize them as sex slaves. The government, media and commoners.
This means that I want a FORMAL source from the government. And news articles explicitly stating this. And some scholarly articles that analyze the perception among the commoners.
No god-damn Wikipedia.
If I don't reply the next time, regard it a failure on your side.
Jesus Christ what a level of pedantry is this... I'm not engaging with this kind of bullshit, so go ahead and regard it as "a failure on my side."
Fucking trolls wasting everyone's time and poisoning every discussion...
So, no, you don't show your source. I treat your argument as such.
I made no argument. There's nothing to source.
You're trying to start a kindergarten-level fight and I'm not interested in engaging in that kind of behavior. I'm here for discussion, not pedantry.
Go waste someone else's time with your trolling.
You made an argument. I'm demanding the source of your argument.
Kishida has been pm since 2021, sure you’re Japanese?
I raised Abe's name because Abe's conservative voter base who demanded such a change.
Get rid of that "this person is not Japanese" attitude. It only humiliates you. Are you a proud nationalist or something?
If someone references the last well known leader to ask about a country, that’s a giant red flag that they’re lying about being from the country. Same for saying “as far as I understand” to describe the situation in that country. I’m not at all humiliated by not automatically believing someone I don’t know online behaving suspiciously, nor does it imply I’m a nationalist.

And you were wrong. Nice try.
I asked a question. You answered. How is that wrong?
that’s a giant red flag that they’re lying about being from the country
A giant red flag that was wrong. Again, nice try.
Red flags are warnings that you should look into further, which I did. They’re not absolute predictors, but signs to probe. I stand by my question.
You asked someone else in this thread to produce a type of document that has never existed for anything (a government agreement that a word means a certain thing), then when they couldn’t, explained that an argument made without evidence is meaningless. How is due diligence about the claims people make a surprise to you?
You asked someone else in this thread to produce a type of document that has never existed for anything (a government agreement that a word means a certain thing)
I asked for that document because I suspected it does NOT exist. In a series of trying to prove me wrong, you have only continued to make the wrong assumptions about me. Just stop.

I don’t think you’re wrong and haven’t tried to do anything to prove you wrong. I asked a question, then I’ve explained why I asked it several times, because you’re the one misunderstanding. It’s obvious that you knew that document couldn’t exist. I brought it up to show that asking if the base of someone’s claim is true is in fact, normal on the internet.
I don’t think you’re wrong and haven’t tried to do anything to prove you wrong
That doesn't make any sense...
According to you, you merely asked me if I'm actually a Japanese. No intention to disprove my argument. Instead, you wanted to argue, uhm... what?
The only answer I can come up with is the following.
- you intended to attack me by proving I was lying about my nationality, for example a country hostile to Japan doing propaganda
- then you failed
- you have to save your face
- so you claimed that you didn't fail with your attack, because you were just asking a question
If you have an alternative explanation, you are welcome to tell me that.
