I relate to this. I easily get hurt by hate comments and know exactly why. I have low self-confidence, which is a reason why I use self-deprecating humor a lot. But I don't think this is only me. Many other Japanese have low confidence and easily get affected by harsh words even if it's only online. It makes sense to me that a lot of big Japanese RUclipsrs or Instagrammers get mental breakdown.
No one dares to talk s*** about our beloved Nobita san. You're doing a great work in raising awareness for the helpless individuals!! I wish everyone was like you man. :-)
If you find comments that bother you, can you block the user? I have found blocking people to be incredibly empowering. Or get away from the negativity for a while and clear your head. It can be hard not to dwell on it but a day or two away from the trolls can really help. Especially if you are doing something fun. Stay positive.
The girl speaking about how no one would really say that in real life is 110% true. Most of these online "trolls" are real people who are just incredibly sad and empty with nothing real to show for it in their own life so they have to claw at others just to get the small sense of felling better about their own situation.
Also what works are grifter people who profit of these people and cause problem and drama in the west our are jerk like geek and gamer, it a Gundam, and sometimes they engage in political drama making things worst and making yeh divide worst and RUclipsr named phille of garbage Also what works are grifter people who profit of these people and cause problem and drama in the west our are jerk like geek and gamer, it a Gundam, and sometimes they engage in political drama making things worst and making yeh divide worst and RUclipsr named "pillar of garbage" made a video called "woke spotting" it how these grifter cause political drama to profit form people who get angry at nothing who are sad people
I told Rob Liefeld to his face, that he sucks at drawing hands and feet. Was it rude? maybe...but it's true! His face went red with anger but he's still with us today.
@@TL-xv1fd You were trying to find positivity and missed the bigger picture. Life experiences aren't and shouldn't be controlled. They especially shouldn't have the expectation of always being positive. Japanese culture influenced my youth and taught me patience and how to be resourceful but failed miserably at instilling consideration. This has been a double edged sword and sure, I've hit myself in the face more than a few times but when it comes to censorship, I cannot abide.
@@NotAnInternetTroll Im not stooping to a piece of shit on the sidewalk's level. In a situation like this it would just be better to ignore them and become more successful than they will ever even think they would become.
@@nishchayalimbu5946 That's true! Your employer for example, may not like your attire, perhaps it doesn't meet company expectations. Now look at USA changing the rules for Senator Fetterman, because he chooses to dress like a slob. This isn't how it should work but also with rational thinking, we can remove ourselves from toxicity online. Idol groups are different of course and must abide company policies. The matter is certainly more complicated when business is involved and you're not self employed. I give no excuses for influencers however, they are nothing more than a pathetic, living advertisement(just my opinion based on facts).
Had an interesting convo about online bullying with a co-worker once, he’s had a hard life so all he told me was, “If they’re not confident enough to say it to your face ignore it. But if they are hurt em bad”. He was a chill guy at work but he was a former convict. Guess that violence never left him, still the first part of his advice is very valid.
This is a well grounded person, and the fact he was a convict further shows he's not a kind that needs anyone's approval. Unfortunately that's unthinkable for a Japanese.
You are a special and unique person. Your life & soul matter. Your life is very short compared to eternity. Therefore if you want to spend eternity on heaven after your life here on earth 🌎, you should believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior. If you don't, you will miss going to heaven and end up in the lake of fire. It is terrible so I beg you to make the only correct decision for God to allow you to go to heaven. Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. 🙏 Have a nice day. God does love ❤️ you.
@@small_fries7573 Trying to convert people to your religion in a RUclips comment section isn't gonna work lil bro, especially not when you're doing so under threat of "burning in a lake fire".
This was happening long before social media. I was a follower of a Japanese subculture called visual kei, one figure was Hideto Matsumoto. He accidently died on May 2, 1998, in a hotel room or something. That caused his fans to be so depressed that many had crammed his funeral service. To top it off, three to five of his fans allegedly committed suicide themselves as a result. This is a tradition that Japan's leaders only recently decided to take seriously. The therapists are right, it does need many more people and time to get them out of this calamity.
That is thick *Emotional Constipation,* especially since you guys, as Japanese, should be users of routine meditation to deal with such *Emotional Constipation!!*

Dude... your video just hit my directly in my heart... I met Hana Kimura during the Madrid Japan Weekend (Japanese, manga & anime event in Spain) a few months before she left us... when I watched the news, I couldn't believe it, more over the reason made me feel angry against those guys that use social media to hurt other feelings and criticise them in the bad way.
It is alright to be concern or not know about what happens after this life. Fortunately there's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, and not to get tired anymore. Imagine you will be invincible, immortal, and holy with a new, upgraded body to the core! Imagine everyone around you will be the same as you. Isn't that a delightful thought? It's true you or anyone can have eternal life. All you got to do is to accept Jesus Christ 🙏 as your Savior! Once you do, He will let you into heaven during your day when you finally see Him!
Based on my research and observations, this problem stems primarily from the Japanese mentality of perfection and of "not standing out". Paradoxically, influencers stand out by nature, and because of the parasocial relationship the Japanese public has with its celebrities where it views them as the model for perfection; when a celebrity, regardless of the type of entertainment they do, breaks that image of perfection and stands out in a bad way (breaking the social harmony) you guys bring back the traditional form of Ijime and your own brand of ostracizing (murahachibu). It also helps that, because of your strict adherence to social conformity and social harmony and the rather conservative way of thinking, Japanese people is really emotionally repressed. And all that pressure has to go somewhere from time to time or else the individual just pops. And the way the individual pops is closely related to their level of repression, personality, and lifestyle. Also, as a Mexican living in Mexico, I got to say that the ranking you provided about job satisfaction is not accurate at least for my country. Our work culture is not as bad as yours, but it gets really close with the added bonus of rampant corruption and insecurity.
Mexicans work an average of 2255 hours per year, the longest in the world, while the Japanese average 1713 hours, actually average among OECD countries. I actually work for a Japanese company and the working environment is not that bad.
Is there really any social harmony with all this relentless attacking and mistrust going on? Japanese society feels more like a warzone minefield than an environment of peace and harmony...
Umm, you are aware that suicide is not unique to Japan in this day of internet and social media? South Korea has always had an issue with high suicide rates, and in the U.S. youth suicides doubled from 2008 - 2018. This has nothing to do with "repressed" Japanese culture and everything to do with the phenomenon of internet bullying/trolls and a general increase in mental health issues worldwide.
@@cgeorge3785 I don't see anywhere in this post mentioning that suicide is unique to japan, and suicide has always been high in japan, even before social media, which only worsened the previous problems. Just like bullying and ostracizing in real life has always led to suicide, it being done online also leads to the same result. And it affects the japanese specially, because social approval is paramount there, people don't hold a ground without social support. But of course, it also happens in other places. It's just that Japanese cultural conditions make it particularly bad for them.
The whole 出る釘は打たれる; "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down" is a silent killer tbh. Maybe there are extra societal obstacles there, but still some things stay the same no matter where you at. Human is human and that we have feelings. Imagine being bullied for standing out and then carry the trauma your whole life without ever getting proper help because you’re being taught to hold back/not showing your true feelings. And if it’s true what Nobita said in 2:21 it’s amazing how many issues might get resolved or at least lessened by fixing their working culture alone.
I had a Japanese friend whom I used to chat with. One day, while she was waiting for her train, it got delayed due to a suicide incident. I made a comment like, "How sad, I wonder what led that person to make such a decision." Her reaction, on the other hand, was more along the lines of, "Such selfishness, now because of them, people will be late for work."... go figure the mentality...
This mentality is why there are many suicides in Japan. The Japanese don't know fraternity or solidarity. They only see other people as general individuals, not as human beings.
Whoa. I'm from Russia, and her reaction is identical to the comments I see on Russian social media to the news like this! "Why couldn't he choose a method of suicide that would not stop the trains" and such. Idk, responses like this do not appear particularly "society-oriented" to me... sad state of affairs for sure.
I live in the US and am not Japanese, but I perceive the Japanese culture as a culture of high values, high standards and tradition. For anyone out there who is dealing with mental issues I encourage you to seek help. It is not a sign of weakness. Just the opposite. It takes greater courage to seek the help you need. It is difficult to separate the comments you may receive on social media as personal attacks, but you have to remember that these people are probably also dealing with issues and take it out on who they can see. As they watch you on RUclips you become a target. They feel like they know you, but they don't. Change the way you think and keep this is mind. Push away negativity. For those who leave nasty comments, block them and feel the power you have to be able to do that. Empower yourself instead of letting it take away your energy. Bless all of you.
None of what you say is realistic, but you have good intention, and I value that. Japanese culture is one of high values on the surface. Go a little deeper, you will see it's a culture where people have only obligations but no rights. The really important thing in japanese culture is the free and efficient flow of the social circuitry, the good working of the system. People really don't matter. I cite the recent Johnny Kitagawa case: people found it was more important to preserve the harmonious environment within the company than calling out the many rumours of systematic sexual abuse of the minors by the company's president (which turned out to be true). No one cares there if you're depressed, if you're being harassed, if you're being sexually abused, if you spend the night on thr streets because you have to get absolutely drunk to cope (and they find it a thing of pride that there's drunks everywhere, it's because the streets are safe and they don't mind passing out there) if you just drop dead in the middle of the street. Japan only considers "peace and harmony" on the surface of social interactions, on your choice of words and acted out gestures. No one ever dares to look at you as a human being. That's not anyone's business, so if you're suffering, that's your problem. So, who do you expect people should trust when seeking help? The system that stigmatises every deviance of the "peaceful and harmonious" ideal? The people that will shame you for exposing your feelings? No. If you can't play along with the "noble expectations" you're simply out of society, exiled. That's how it works there. And really, what help you expect people to seek? I myself deal with depression and suicidal tendencies for more than 20 years, there's really no "help". People will stuff you with drugs, have you do therapy, that really doesn't do much, sometimes just electrocute your head to make you convulse, to change your brain's chemistry for a while (it works, but causes amnesia, which sucks. It isn't nice to wake up on a bed without knowing where you are and who are those people). So, yeah. Things aren't exactly simple. And I assure you, no one gets suicidal only because they got bad comments on social media. That's just the last drop in a glass that's already full.
@@CerridwenAwel I appreciate your acknowledgement of the intentions in my comment. Obviously the subject needs more conversation as I am not familiar with conditions in Japan. I guess I am a little naïve about what is really happening. It saddens me to hear what you are reporting as my impression of Japanese culture is different. I guess that is part of the problem. Others can only make assumptions based upon what they hear. Just like here in the US, I guess every country has similar social problems. People who are drunks, drug abusers and on the streets. I have become so disenchanted with what I see here. I just want to convey a positive message with the hopes that maybe if one person gets help, it will all be worth it. I am not trying to save the world. That is impossible, but as I have also struggled with depression it took the opinion and kind words of one individual that struck a note with me and helped me cope and progress. I hope you are in a good place these days and have one way or another kept yourself well enough to survive to pursue your wants and goals in life. I wish you all the best. Thanks for sharing.🙏🙏
@@drphibesrises unfortunately the dark side of Japan only becomes apparent when you really approach the culture, and even so, many Japanese people see nothing wrong with it. Also, the problem I see with simply telling people to "get help" is that it's become a staple, it's as if it's the ultimate solution to the issue, everything will be better if you "get help", and that isn't true, unfortunately, because the "help" hardly ever helps at all. As for me. I guess I keep on trying to find goals to have, trying to believe things are worth pursuing. I will probably die without finding it.
The dark side of Japan is seldom exposed. Japan, like the West embrace nihilism and heronism. Its a materialist-pretentious society ... and its population is dying fast.
This is a tough one. Suicide is something that is just a terrible thing. I know with veterans that we have what's known as a person we can just talk to and cry on their shoulders. They don't judge, and they just listen, and I have seen it work a lot. For these young people they need that one person like that and who would just get them away from the cyberworld. Just one person can make a difference.
Absolutely this. As someone who used to get bullied a lot way back in my school days, it nearly drove me to that point, but the wonderful lady who came to be my wife just this year is also the one I call my saviour and my angel, because it felt almost as if she swooped down to catch me before I would fall, and I'm forever thankful for that. That one person is absolutely capable of making a difference ( even if they don't even know they're making one in the first place or knowing what's actually going on! )
@@TTMS-Khaz-kunbut they say you shouldn't be codependent with one person, it's not fair for one person to be everything for the weak person. at least that what i was told after my partner left me 🤷♀️
@@vivvy_0 It's true that they shouldn't be the only thing keeping you together so to speak and even less so to expect another to "fix you" or your problems and/or make you happy if you cannot be happy otherwise, since that does put pressure on said partner. In my case, I was in a low place and I just simply spoke to my wife and spent time with her ( this is at the time I'd met her. ) I never said anything of my situation or issues, but that they'd get better and my mood improved drastically was more of a byproduct of, rather than her conciously being aware and doing something about it - which is where the latter bit of my comment comes from about the fact that the person may be doing something to help you even if they wouldn't realise it/know what's going on. TL;DR: No, you shouldn't be with your partner with an expectation of them making you better/happy.
I work at a large university here in Japan...I tell ALL my students to come see me immediately if they have thoughts of suicide, self-harm, or intent to harm others. They also come to me if they are getting harassed. We DO have resources here, but a lot of people see a stigma around accessing help and will just try to handle it themselves. As a gaijin, I can be non-judgmental and they know it and will come to me. I get them the help they need and offer a discreet shoulder to lean on. Sometimes, they just need to talk to an older adult and get reassurance. We as adults in the Japanese village MUST raise our kids well. The health of our youth is for all society members. Part of that is teaching kids to stay off the damned Internet. These people PUT themselves out there to get attention and make money...not realizing how vicious it can be. Having parents and elders who keep people from becoming influencers or idols is the very first and basic step to stopping this kind of thing.
I agree with the person who highlighted that one of the primary causes of the high suicide rate is probably that people aren't taught the coping skills needed to deal with difficult emotions and therefore struggle with being ability to self-regulate and maintain their own mental health. I'm a therapist so I see this really often. Where I live in the US, though, it's becoming normalized for teens to voluntarily go to therapy. Age of consent for mental health treatment is 14 in my state, so I've had quite a few teens who decided on their own to get support, scheduled their own appointments (sometimes against their parents' wishes), and they don't feel any shame about it at all. They even tell their friends that they're going to therapy and often this encourages their friends to then go to therapy, as well. I hope Japanese youth can reach that point some day too.
Coping skills and own standards. When you have high general knowledge, logical thinking skills and can distinguish valid and invalid argument, you don't even need much coping skills, because you realise that close to 100% of the time when someone is mean, that person is just an idiot who's in wrong.
But despite such a system, the suicide rate and the percentage of mental health patients in the U.S. continue to increase year after year In 2022, the suicide rate in the U.S. finally surpassed the suicide rate in Japan.

20 yrs old here. Had some really bad experiences during ages 10-17, and I now truly hate the internet. I despise it. If I ever have kids, they won’t have access to any of this until they are 16, maybe even later. I don’t mean to sound like a boomer, but it is the internets fault(of course I am generalizing). Social media blows
As recently turned 21 in 2 days, I agree with you. I remember when internet had less stuffs that didn’t consume lots of times. For now I only use Twitter for news, nothing else. Those social platforms are designed to keep you addicted, which boosts engineers’ incomes. I dunno will ever I have kids, time will tell what future holds :)
I think its not the internet fault, but rather society at large not addressing the problems, and the internet gave people the ability to see the truth that used to be hidden.
I remember years back thinking about things that were acceptable at the time, but not acceptable now. Then I thought about what it was that was acceptable now, but may not be acceptable in the future. Every few years, the thought that the internet and social media is something that requires actual age restriction and regulation because of how addicting it is only seems less and less crazy over time.
In my own experience in both Japan and America, I can say that we Americans don’t have that same filter when it comes to arguing or confrontation with anyone. It does not matter if it’s my boss, parents, wife, friends… we speak our mind even if we are wrong. Especially true in the navy, we develop a love hate relationship with each other and most (not all) get to that thick skinned level of not caring what someone thinks of us.
I must say, yours is the first comment about this video that I can relate to. I grew up in Oz (Australia). I do feel for those being bullied but, in my youth, if we had considered nasty words to have the power of bullets, which seems to be much more common nowadays, probably a quarter of the kids at my school would have succumbed before finishing school. If you wore glasses, had a big butt, had a speech impediment, came from a foreign country or a poor family (the list goes on) you were a prime target for the most horrendous bullying - both verbal and physical. The oddity is that we had zero suicides at our schools. In fact I didn’t hear of a suicide until I was almost 30, and that wasn’t a young person. It’s true that suicide is a problem in Japan. I do wonder though if the problem was as common here in earlier generations. I doubt it!
Humans inherited sins. Single or double parents families, guardians, & grandparents don't teach their infants or toddlers to lie, steal food or toys, and to not admit their faults. When u were babies, u inherited sins cuz sin was passed down from our first human father, Adam. As we grow older, we sin more and our magnitude of sins grow more extreme. God doesn't allow sin in heaven. Therefore if you want to spend eternity on heaven after your life here on earth 🌎, you should believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior.

I study both Korean and Japanese languages and South Korea definitely has the same problem. It's mind boggling to me both that people would be so mean, and that celebrities would be so affected by it that they would take their life. There's a Korean RUclipsr who makes language videos and stopped showing her face in her videos. She thought she had to show her face but later saw that some RUclipsrs don't and they still have a large audience and I think she's much happier now. I like seeing people's faces so I stopped watching. I don't think she got negative comments - she's a sweetheart so I hope not. I think she just has a shy personality despite being a RUclipsr.
6:35 _We don't know how to deal with hate comments_ (paraphrasing) This guy is telling the truth. As long as online hate has an impact on the influencer, it will have power over them. So the RUclipsrs and influencers need to pacify it somehow.
For this reason and many others my kids WILL NOT have smart phones until they’re at least 16. Social media is too much if it’s all you know. I think people should grow up without it first.
Hello Nobita, I don't believe I have ever commented on any of your videos before, I've never met you before, and I haven't seen too many of your videos despite being subscribed for roughly 7 years. This video was saddening to see, and I hope this type of stuff ends soon. I saw your pinned comment, and wanted to tell you not to listen to any hate. I know this probably won't mean much coming from me, some random American dude online but, I subscribed to you instantly after watching one video because you seemed like such a nice guy, and genuinely curious and caring about the topics you discussed. You also came across as a very kind and honest dude and I thought it was cool. Nothing good or worth keeping in life ever comes easy. I wish you all the best! Never give up! Even if you have some haters out there, remember you have lots of people that like you too.

I think anyone who wants to seriously take being an influencer must have a thick face even if there are haters around - This happens to anyone regardless of which political or cultural leaning. Have a thick face also means mentally strong. Some could be good critics, but the others are pure hate.
I admire you Nobita because you always make videos about sensitive topics that youtubers don't usually talk about. It's very sad such young people being depressed and I had no clue that online hate comments were that harsh, it's really unfair. Mental health should never be a stigma, that's the best way to deal with such bad comments and hate, and I'm very sorry to hear that you also received hate comments because you don't deserve it. You are kind and polite and your content is always very good.

I have been struggling with depression and increased anxiety ever since the war started, then my grandparents passed away one by one, my dad got diagnosed with cancer and after years of chemotherapy passed away. Have lived in japan for 6 years, finally a Japanese acquaintance of mine helped me make an appointment with a mental counselor about an hour away by bus at 8 am a month or so later (nobody is available right away ever, but hey, trains keep running). I had a panic attack the night before, took my meds and passed out for a few hours. Didn't make it to the appointment. I called to apologize and to try and reschedule and was told that no slots are available. EVER. I was blacklisted for good. And I'm a foreigner, foreigners are treated nicely in Japan. Imagine what Japanese people go through. Of course committing a suicide is a lot easier here than actually finding help. But you also have to show everybody how horribly you are doing, otherwise nobody will take you seriously. Robbin Williams wouldn't have even gotten mental counseling here. If you dare to smile, you cannot be depressed.

The question is how Japanese look at life and death? Even during WW2 , the USA was confused with the Japanese suicide airplanes. It's a big question why Japan has forever this positive look at suicide, which need to be resolved first.
I agree with Joey "Anime Man" "Trash Taste" about the negative comments directed at Japanese RUclipsrs. Those who can read Japanese might be shocked at the persistence and the thumbs up supporting negative comments - Japanese collective behavior at its worst. People say things like, you are fraudulently taking advantage of viewers by telling false stories to gain sympathy and to be monetized, have you no shame? to someone talking about how hard it is to make a living and cope with physical illness, and these comments will receive over a hundred thumbs up. And others will join in with more negative comments with hundreds of people liking the negative comments so that the entire view count becomes high just from negative comments and their approval. It also makes those who genuinely feel sorry for the RUclipsr to stay silent in case they get attacked for defending the person. I've never seen anything like it in English. It's like shark feeding frenzy to attack the RUclipsr until they delete their account.
It's a sad and heartbreaking topic. All i can say to those people who are suffering is keep your head up and stay strong. Ignore the trolls and focus on the people who love and support you👍

I'm suicidal for 5 years and still am til this day because of bullying. The Japanese can try to ignore any form of bullying by walking away, ignore it or just do things that makes them happy. Keeps you out of harms way.
@@babyvaso3855 no. Engaging in that activity IS a you problem. I'm much more cautious and have a better understanding of social media unlike before. So, I know what to expect. I plan on getting a job after senior high, so I'm good.
Reading you comment, I knew people would come and try to give you advices about something they never experienced and how you are wrong to feel the way you do. I've went through a similar phase. It can be quite harsh cause its all psychological and drains you out emotionnaly and physically even psychologiclly. Especially for some who had a really bad childhood and remember they didnt even ask to be born. I dont know what you went through, but I'll just say, Just dont give to others the power to ruin you mentally.
@@babyvaso3855 oh fuck off, i can be whatever I like as long I don't impose trouble onto others. if they feel that easily offended, their fault cry harder
It's tough for the Japanese because they've been trained from when they first learned to talk that the group is more important than the individual. They are brainwashed into thinking happiness can only be found as a member of a group. But you are right, if you can create a physical distance or just allow the passage of time, the bad energy gets less. Everyday, we live the best we can with what we can think of at the time. Just don't bully yourself on top of everything else, you deserve so much more.
Some of the suicide clusters are the Werther Effect. Like after Cobain died there was a spike in suicides. And with many of them, they were listening to Cobain's music prior or during the deed. That too, gets reported, and it inspires others to follow suit. But others seem to be that they are incredibly depressed or stressed, see or hear of a "celebrity" doing it Ad nauseam on every type of media to the point it almost seems like it is unintentional subliminal encouragement. Media reporting on suicide clusters seems terribly handled. It is very sad.
Every magic comes at a price. Japan’s top quality comes from the entire society’s mental stress environment. I really feel for the people there. I will pray that you can find a solution.
@@UnChannelDuVulpineX the country is no stranger to it, ancient China introduced it along with hemp, but it's been outlawed since after WW2, you'de find meth, acid, and heroin with much more ease over there, their are harsher laws for cannabis use or selling with decades worth of hard prison time.

@@DanielSantos-cr5sx This is not a good sign! Should we spread awareness to people/creators in Japan (especially the younger generation of Japanese people) about this dreadful situation? Also, should we support and respect the younger generation of Japanese people?

@babyvaso3855 Yup, and to be honest, I don't want Japan to fallen into the same fate like how America, China, Russia, or even North Korea did, I want Japan to get salvaged (especially their population and economy). Also, fuck those toxic people/weak-minded people!
..3:22. . .this the highlight and root of this issue, in the end these people making hate comments are wishing something to an individual they bullied just to received happiness and satisfaction but in a bad why, they are too blind to look for a good way to feel happiness and satisfaction which is hard for them to do because it's one of a Japanese characters when they feel down.. . ..sad reality, hope like the one said, let the local do something about this.. . ..thank you Nobita-san for this vid..
It is alright to be concern or not know about what happens after this life. Fortunately there's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, and not to get tired anymore. Imagine you will be invincible, immortal, and holy with a new, upgraded body to the core! Imagine everyone around you will be the same as you. Isn't that a delightful thought? It's true you or anyone can have eternal life. All you got to do is to accept Jesus Christ 🙏 as your Savior! Once you do, He will let you into heaven during your day when you finally see Him!
people should fight back when bullied.. if they hate you let them be but if they hurt you let them bleed.. life is precious so fight back to live.. be strong..
The government needs to take more action to prevent this, maybe a place where these people can escape to when they feel like this. Suicide is seen as an escape.
isnt it? They want to escape life, what else you propose? go to another world? I mean instead of giving wishfull thinking provide actual solutions. Cause a "place so that people can escape" wont do nothing. At the end of the day they go back to their same life. Alcohol?? Sex?? Maybe Drug??? whats your solution?? Family? what about those who dont have or got rejected? Friends?? If they had real friends, many wouldnt be in that situation. For people who never went through something that litteraly broke them down psychologically to the point of driving them to suicide, cant understand these people. Its like someone who never experienced financial instability saying to someone going through that :"Oh its fine Im sure things will get better." or "Just get a job". Things are more complex than they seem
One of the reasons I want to become a household name is to be here for good souls like some these people, especially the ones speaking up. Like some are saying they're ugly, but I see them and most of these people they look very good.
No matter how strong your mental defense are, reading hateful comments everyday is going to break you at some point. Best thing is filter them or ignore them.
2:30 Yo What?!! 😂 How is India NUMEBR 1 in job satisfaction ranking ABOVE Germany and France. Our job conditions are some of the worst out there, including underpaid salaried workers, free overtime and lack of minimum wage. That chart is definitely not accurate.
I want to say that this is heartbreaking, and it is, but more than that, it's infuriating. It made me so angry to hear Hare talk about how others would encourage her to quit making videos if she didn't want hate comments. What about the commenters??? If they don't enjoy the content, why can't they just mind their business and click away? Block the creator, block the content, go watch something else. It's really that easy. Unfortunately, this is a worldwide problem, but this example goes to show that no matter how polite your society is, that doesn't mean it's always kind. Humans are still humans everywhere, I guess.
You are a special and unique person. Your life & soul matter. Your life is very short compared to eternity. Therefore if you want to spend eternity on heaven after your life here on earth 🌎, you should believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior.

Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. 🙏 Have a nice day. God does love ❤️ you.
You're right. Humans r still humans everywhere. 💔 If all of us can find a few trustworthy friends, we will be better off. Japanese and Koreans don't wanna be outliers or blk sheeps, so they rather hide their issues and suffer themselves.
Why I stay away from social media. If you put yourself out there, you will be vulnerable to cyber bullying. I'm a softhearted person so I wouldn't be able to handle it calmly 😢
Yeah sadly the problem with suicide in Japan has been there for a long long time so I'm actually positively surprised that as a whole there's a decline this decade
Wow, I looked up some videos of the makeup youtuber you mentioned early on in the video - that is just so sad... I can understand why someone would feel hopeless after that. If a girl so beautiful and skilled cant take living life, how would you as a stressed person watching them feel like you have a better chance? I know these mental spirals, its tough.
Haters gonna hate. Better to focus on signal and ignore noise. Those who reccur to ad hominem fallacies (insults) usually have no real arguments and usually lack any logical critical thinking about it, they just throw such tantrums because internet anonimity gives them the confidence they wouldn't have to do it in person.
It's even worse when one aspect of the culture prevents people from speaking up about their situations. Japanese society prioritizes others over thyself, which leads to many not opening up about their problems or seeking help due to thinking they'd become a burden to others. It's messed up. When I suffered depression in the past, I wanted to reach out to people but was almost constantly shut down. But to have to force yourself to stay quiet seems worse in my opinion because it messes with your psyche even more.

I get it. Here is the thing about humans, we only remember extremes. Say every experience is on a 1-10 scale, 10 being best. Most people will see a post on their video and see it as a 4-6 and thus it will be lost to their recall. From time to time you will have heart touching/eye opening posts, your 7+ that will leave a mark on the person. Then there are the haters who will post and attack, 3 or less. The issue is that most posts in the extremes are in the latter category. These ladies aren't ugly but those posts stick with people more than the people who post 4-6 level posts ever will.
Honestly, it's offensive they blame suicides on influencers, and never seem to look at what would lead someone to contemplate suicide in the first place. I've tried it many times, it's not just an easy "oh the cool ppl is doing it so I guess I will try". No, it comes from a place of deep despair, of no longer seeing a point to live. But of course no one there cares that so many people are so lost in such a despair. To them, people should just bottle it up and carry on as usual, no one cares you don't see a point in living after all. All that matters is that you perform your functions and look good at it.
Japanese women are the most beautiful creatures in this world. They have no reason to feel insecure. It is just that the rest of the world is jealous of their beauty. So the world has no choice but to bring these beautiful girls down, with lies just to make themselves feel better. The truth is Japanese women are on a whole another level of beauty.
It's sad to hear about young people going away too soon. Being in the states, I wished they had some of the American style of loving one another like people noticing someone in distress and going out their own way to help them whatever they can. A small gesture really goes a long way..
This is a new topic and thank you for covering suicide among celebrities as well. I seriously wanted to understand why Haruma miura my favourite actor died. Rip Haruma miura.
I had heard about the paradox of young Japanese self-deleting whenever an idol/public figure does/or dies. That was about a decade ago though. It really is a shame that for all the great things about Japan, the country has to deal with such a flummoxing rationale in their youth. In regards to the type of people who make these type of venomous comments: I think the sophistry of "They must have a terrible life/something wrong with them, so just ignore them and move on." is exactly that. People are keen to sweep other people and their suffering under the rug. Hare brings this up when she says "Putting the blame on her doesn't mean the issues causing this type of behaviour is being solved." Instead of just "outlawing" or "regulating" Cyberbullying, there needs to be steps taken to increase the quality of life of the people of whom are suffering to the point that lashing out online is their own release. Otherwise the problem will never truly be address and these people themselves would be put into even worse situations depending on the punishment for online harassment. If just telling people to not be venomous/toxic was effective, the League of Legends community would be paradise. However Riot even bans these users and yet they still find ways to remain bitter and in the community. Though what if it is disproven that abused people abuse people? What if it becomes down to a problem of anonymity, what would be the solution then? Linking our social media accounts/online presence to our Government I.D.s and such? That way their real reputation is on the line when they interact with online people. That seems like a level of Surveillance State that many people would be opposed to. Especially with no guarantee to protect others from harassment. Anyway, that is my soliloquy about this subject. It has been a conversation in the US for as long as I can remember. I think learning to manage one's anxiety, stress and emotions in general with techniques backed by high levels of research and efficacy should be common place in schools around the world. How can people be expect to learn how to bring peace and tranquility to others when they do not know how to bring it to themselves? Almost all people are not beyond redemption, in my view, why are so many people willing to throw other humans away like they're trash if they don't act in a way that one person desires? I deeply enjoy the fact that Hare also briefly explains a concept in Stoicism(in regards to separating the online actions of people from the *real* person) even if she may not be familiar with the philosophy. She strikes me as a wise person due to that. I wish more people would be able to know about such ideologies, philosophies and study them to help improve their lives. I feel Psychology and Philosophy go hand-in-hand. Thank you for this powerful video on a deeply complex issue as always, Nobita. Be well and stay safe.
I call it “first world problems.” They live in one of the greatest countries in the world and don’t realize how good they have it. They have to develop resilience. You don’t hear much of this type of stuff in places like Hati or Somalia or another country with extreme horrific living conditions!
The question I have, and hopefully you ask as well, is why is this happening so much today. The answer is right in front you and it comes in many ways -- causes and affects. There is no real solution but you can minimize how it affects you but most people can't or won't make changes in their lives in order to do it. Truly sad.
Being mother of twenty years and teens descendants, who live with me, I feel like wanting to hug those beautiful young girls and really slap badly any one who hurts them.. girls and boys as well need to have anti bullying mentality

I feel bad for people/creators in Japan (especially the younger generation of Japanese people). They didn't deserve to get harassed or Cyberbullied. The younger generation of Japanese people deserve support and respect. This is why I might marry to a Japanese women (or a hafu women) that has the same age as mine in the future.
Assuming you're for real, first things first, drop the savior mentality. Your future Japanese wife wants you to value her as an equal on her own merits, not someone superior to her who's going to save her from society
@luodeligesi7238 I gotta be careful about this. Also, first of all, I'm not one of those toxic people/weak-minded people. Second of all, I'm becoming a indie game developer. And third of all, I love girls with big titties.
Low self-esteem comes from strict social norms and expectations. Rules are fine and necessary, but when they clip wings of self-identity, they become oppressive and breaking.
dear japanese friends respect and admiration . when i went past a homeless person and i felt hate for him. it came back to me. some body projected hate to me and i now try to be more compasionate in my thoughts towards everyone . especially when i do not know them well, it takes sometime but now there is much less hate towards me and it is challenging to send out good feelings to everyone but its good in your culture its expected that you work hard. and give gifts . and perform to society , and there are many people living there. i think you should look after yourself that will look after japan . go home from work 5 minetes early .give very very small " obligatory" gifts when the time comes. reduce stress on yourself, reduce stress on others . learn some jokes to share. thanks to you nobita san . if a little change or adaption in the system happens and gives hope . to those who feel there needs are not totally met. will it be good? best wishes
Given how social media in general has worsened the mental state of people, it's pretty much a given that most of us would need mental help at some point in our lives. Society certainly shouldn't stigmatize that. Heck, some people don't even talk to family about it. A level of support is so important at that point. It definitely needs to be worked on, given how uneven the approach to mental health is across cultures, especially in Asia, but also in parts of Europe.
If I were them I would say "Di ka mahal ng mama mo" "Kulang ka sa aruga" It's Filipino phrase to some bashers in the internet. By definition it is like "Your mama don't love you, you don't have enough love from your childhood that's why you turn out to be a bitter person. Your life is miserable and lonely that the only thing you can do is project all your frustrations and bitterness to the people like me who has a money, famous, beautiful and successfull than you" That's the literal meaning of that tagalog phrase to those bashers and keyboards warriors. I wish japanese youtuber and idols have a guts to talkback to those kind of person, instead of consuming all those negative comments and later on will make them kill theirselves
Hmmm…. I don’t think that what has to be blamed are people that say harsh things over the net, as most of them are just hurting themselves and need to vent. I think there is an underlying issue where people, society wise, think they cannot and should not rely on others for this, or they are burden others with this, including their family and close friends. Family relations I believe is the main culprit, and that is the reason why is starting to a visible issue on other countries where this was not the case (eg. The US).
I already commented something mostly unrelated to the video, but in relation to the video, I think the root of a lot of the cultural problems in Japan is a lack of honesty. I'm not sure if this was always a trait of Japan. But in the modern era, the individual citizens of Japan need to be more honest with themselves and with others if Japan is to survive. Personally I don't particularly like the modern era. It makes problems like these and the deaths of countries far more common.
Truth: The Japan society make up make it too difficult for change to happen and for young people to seek help. They have structured themselves in a way that will kill off their younger generation.
Talking about depression can buy you time or distract but doesnt solve the root issue. Lack of faith and purpose, belonging (which is why talking can help), anxiety about financial and cultural security, and work-life balance

Entertainment is either being bored or trying to manage your stress and frustrations, so it's common to see bad mannered gaming communities, some of which might force you to quit the very game. In this context, the game is online presence or life itself. The basic advice would be to not let it get to you, but harassers almost certainly make sure it does, so at best you can avoid being an easy mark. Sound like Japanese platforms and channels need harsher moderation. Also, unless it's your job, it makes ZERO sense to make a profile where you get roasted, so stay anonymous.
I really like Japan and its culture, but this attitude of some Japanese, bullying people they consider “different and inferior” is something very sad in their society, in my opinion, I mean, they say, for example, that they are ashamed of expressing love because they are shy, but when it comes to expressing hate, to the point of leading their compatriots to kill themselves, (as happened with poor little Hana Kimura) there is no shame at all. In fact, when I found out about her death at the time, I was both sad and angry at the lack of sensitivity on the part of the producers of that reality show, and especially with the internet users, (or better said CRIMINALS!), who sent those nasty comments to her, until the point of her taking her own life.
Around a decade ago there was a big stir in the US Army when the data showed that some key assumptions about suicide were wrong. We used to believe that what caused suicide among Soldiers and veterans was PTSD they suffered from combat. However, the suicide rate for Soldiers who never saw combat was the same for Soldiers who did see combat. A scary implication is that it is not trauma breaking a person that drives them to suicide, but instead some people are already predisposed to suicide and it only takes a reason. A look at global suicides show that people in developed countries are significantly more likely to commit suicide than people in developing countries even though people in developed countries live more comfortable lives. There is something wrong in advanced countries like the United States and Japan, I personally find there are people who are just spiritually broken. I have found a significant number of people just don't have real meaning in their lives. The best they have is some external validation such as family, a job, or worse, social media, that gives their life value. When those external validations collapse, the perceived value of their own life collapses with it. A person in such a state of despair has little protection against suicide and unfortunately people take their own life. The best we can do is help people who are spiritually broken, but I don't see any realistic solutions to keep people from breaking spiritually in the first place.
Another great job! Thank you very much! A point that I consider very important: why do people want or aspire to become influencers, RUclipsrs or something like that? It is clear that formal professions are very problematic, but I think that there are enormous educational, cultural, intellectual, psychological, etc., problems in the training of children, young people and adults in today's societies! A revolution in education is extremely urgent! With massive investments in professionals, equipment, techniques, etc! And, obviously, in current labor relations! And most obviously at the initiative of central governments! What are governments for? What are politicians for? They should work for the happiness of their respective people! Why, after all, do they earn salaries from our taxes?
On the other hand Japan has one of the highest life expectancy rates in the world. This is in large part due to their healthy diet and lack of obesity. Before you get overly critical of their culture we need to understand that many more people are killed by obesity in, say, the United States than are killed by suicide in Japan.
Hopefully they make a law of cyberbullying as a crime. There's a limit to what we can say to other people. Words are no joke, we never know what people are going through

If I may say so humbly, Japanese youths ought to come back to the center of their own existence by practicing Zazen everyday. Then they would see they are already whole, already loved, already accepted and there is nothing to attain. No-one is ever alone. We are one with the Universe and everyone else, only don’t realise it.

I relate to this. I easily get hurt by hate comments and know exactly why. I have low self-confidence, which is a reason why I use self-deprecating humor a lot. But I don't think this is only me. Many other Japanese have low confidence and easily get affected by harsh words even if it's only online. It makes sense to me that a lot of big Japanese RUclipsrs or Instagrammers get mental breakdown.
Take care my friend. As a person who had suffered a lot, I learned to not give a s*** about others opinions. Try the same.
How common are parents using harsh words against their children in Japan?
No one dares to talk s*** about our beloved Nobita san. You're doing a great work in raising awareness for the helpless individuals!! I wish everyone was like you man. :-)
If you find comments that bother you, can you block the user? I have found blocking people to be incredibly empowering.
Or get away from the negativity for a while and clear your head. It can be hard not to dwell on it but a day or two away from the trolls can really help. Especially if you are doing something fun. Stay positive.
I would recommend a psychotherapy to rise your self_confidence... There are means to at least partly solve that problem
The girl speaking about how no one would really say that in real life is 110% true. Most of these online "trolls" are real people who are just incredibly sad and empty with nothing real to show for it in their own life so they have to claw at others just to get the small sense of felling better about their own situation.

They especially shouldn't have the expectation of always being positive.

This has been a double edged sword and sure, I've hit myself in the face more than a few times but when it comes to censorship, I cannot abide.

@@nishchayalimbu5946 That's true! Your employer for example, may not like your attire, perhaps it doesn't meet company expectations. Now look at USA changing the rules for Senator Fetterman, because he chooses to dress like a slob. This isn't how it should work but also with rational thinking, we can remove ourselves from toxicity online. Idol groups are different of course and must abide company policies. The matter is certainly more complicated when business is involved and you're not self employed. I give no excuses for influencers however, they are nothing more than a pathetic, living advertisement(just my opinion based on facts).
Had an interesting convo about online bullying with a co-worker once, he’s had a hard life so all he told me was, “If they’re not confident enough to say it to your face ignore it. But if they are hurt em bad”. He was a chill guy at work but he was a former convict. Guess that violence never left him, still the first part of his advice is very valid.
This is a well grounded person, and the fact he was a convict further shows he's not a kind that needs anyone's approval. Unfortunately that's unthinkable for a Japanese.

This was happening long before social media. I was a follower of a Japanese subculture called visual kei, one figure was Hideto Matsumoto. He accidently died on May 2, 1998, in a hotel room or something. That caused his fans to be so depressed that many had crammed his funeral service. To top it off, three to five of his fans allegedly committed suicide themselves as a result.
This is a tradition that Japan's leaders only recently decided to take seriously. The therapists are right, it does need many more people and time to get them out of this calamity.

Dude... your video just hit my directly in my heart...
I met Hana Kimura during the Madrid Japan Weekend (Japanese, manga & anime event in Spain) a few months before she left us... when I watched the news, I couldn't believe it, more over the reason made me feel angry against those guys that use social media to hurt other feelings and criticise them in the bad way.
It is alright to be concern or not know about what happens after this life. Fortunately there's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, and not to get tired anymore.

Based on my research and observations, this problem stems primarily from the Japanese mentality of perfection and of "not standing out". Paradoxically, influencers stand out by nature, and because of the parasocial relationship the Japanese public has with its celebrities where it views them as the model for perfection; when a celebrity, regardless of the type of entertainment they do, breaks that image of perfection and stands out in a bad way (breaking the social harmony) you guys bring back the traditional form of Ijime and your own brand of ostracizing (murahachibu). It also helps that, because of your strict adherence to social conformity and social harmony and the rather conservative way of thinking, Japanese people is really emotionally repressed. And all that pressure has to go somewhere from time to time or else the individual just pops. And the way the individual pops is closely related to their level of repression, personality, and lifestyle.
Also, as a Mexican living in Mexico, I got to say that the ranking you provided about job satisfaction is not accurate at least for my country. Our work culture is not as bad as yours, but it gets really close with the added bonus of rampant corruption and insecurity.
Mexicans work an average of 2255 hours per year, the longest in the world, while the Japanese average 1713 hours, actually average among OECD countries. I actually work for a Japanese company and the working environment is not that bad.
Is there really any social harmony with all this relentless attacking and mistrust going on? Japanese society feels more like a warzone minefield than an environment of peace and harmony...
Umm, you are aware that suicide is not unique to Japan in this day of internet and social media? South Korea has always had an issue with high suicide rates, and in the U.S. youth suicides doubled from 2008 - 2018. This has nothing to do with "repressed" Japanese culture and everything to do with the phenomenon of internet bullying/trolls and a general increase in mental health issues worldwide.
@@cgeorge3785 I don't see anywhere in this post mentioning that suicide is unique to japan, and suicide has always been high in japan, even before social media, which only worsened the previous problems. Just like bullying and ostracizing in real life has always led to suicide, it being done online also leads to the same result. And it affects the japanese specially, because social approval is paramount there, people don't hold a ground without social support. But of course, it also happens in other places. It's just that Japanese cultural conditions make it particularly bad for them.

The whole 出る釘は打たれる; "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down" is a silent killer tbh. Maybe there are extra societal obstacles there, but still some things stay the same no matter where you at. Human is human and that we have feelings. Imagine being bullied for standing out and then carry the trauma your whole life without ever getting proper help because you’re being taught to hold back/not showing your true feelings. And if it’s true what Nobita said in 2:21 it’s amazing how many issues might get resolved or at least lessened by fixing their working culture alone.
I had a Japanese friend whom I used to chat with. One day, while she was waiting for her train, it got delayed due to a suicide incident. I made a comment like, "How sad, I wonder what led that person to make such a decision." Her reaction, on the other hand, was more along the lines of, "Such selfishness, now because of them, people will be late for work."... go figure the mentality...
if you live for work, you are already dead
This mentality is why there are many suicides in Japan. The Japanese don't know fraternity or solidarity. They only see other people as general individuals, not as human beings.
Whoa. I'm from Russia, and her reaction is identical to the comments I see on Russian social media to the news like this! "Why couldn't he choose a method of suicide that would not stop the trains" and such. Idk, responses like this do not appear particularly "society-oriented" to me... sad state of affairs for sure.
If its true then she was lost. Sorry for her😢
@@jedakerja-e9jWould it be a surprise to you to know that most Japananese think like her? I'm not joking.
I live in the US and am not Japanese, but I perceive the Japanese culture as a culture of high values, high standards and tradition. For anyone out there who is dealing with mental issues I encourage you to seek help. It is not a sign of weakness. Just the opposite. It takes greater courage to seek the help you need. It is difficult to separate the comments you may receive on social media as personal attacks, but you have to remember that these people are probably also dealing with issues and take it out on who they can see. As they watch you on RUclips you become a target. They feel like they know you, but they don't. Change the way you think and keep this is mind. Push away negativity. For those who leave nasty comments, block them and feel the power you have to be able to do that. Empower yourself instead of letting it take away your energy. Bless all of you.

None of what you say is realistic, but you have good intention, and I value that. Japanese culture is one of high values on the surface. Go a little deeper, you will see it's a culture where people have only obligations but no rights. The really important thing in japanese culture is the free and efficient flow of the social circuitry, the good working of the system. People really don't matter. I cite the recent Johnny Kitagawa case: people found it was more important to preserve the harmonious environment within the company than calling out the many rumours of systematic sexual abuse of the minors by the company's president (which turned out to be true). No one cares there if you're depressed, if you're being harassed, if you're being sexually abused, if you spend the night on thr streets because you have to get absolutely drunk to cope (and they find it a thing of pride that there's drunks everywhere, it's because the streets are safe and they don't mind passing out there) if you just drop dead in the middle of the street. Japan only considers "peace and harmony" on the surface of social interactions, on your choice of words and acted out gestures. No one ever dares to look at you as a human being. That's not anyone's business, so if you're suffering, that's your problem. So, who do you expect people should trust when seeking help? The system that stigmatises every deviance of the "peaceful and harmonious" ideal? The people that will shame you for exposing your feelings? No. If you can't play along with the "noble expectations" you're simply out of society, exiled. That's how it works there. And really, what help you expect people to seek? I myself deal with depression and suicidal tendencies for more than 20 years, there's really no "help". People will stuff you with drugs, have you do therapy, that really doesn't do much, sometimes just electrocute your head to make you convulse, to change your brain's chemistry for a while (it works, but causes amnesia, which sucks. It isn't nice to wake up on a bed without knowing where you are and who are those people). So, yeah. Things aren't exactly simple. And I assure you, no one gets suicidal only because they got bad comments on social media. That's just the last drop in a glass that's already full.
@@CerridwenAwel I appreciate your acknowledgement of the intentions in my comment. Obviously the subject needs more conversation as I am not familiar with conditions in Japan. I guess I am a little naïve about what is really happening. It saddens me to hear what you are reporting as my impression of Japanese culture is different. I guess that is part of the problem. Others can only make assumptions based upon what they hear. Just like here in the US, I guess every country has similar social problems. People who are drunks, drug abusers and on the streets. I have become so disenchanted with what I see here. I just want to convey a positive message with the hopes that maybe if one person gets help, it will all be worth it. I am not trying to save the world. That is impossible, but as I have also struggled with depression it took the opinion and kind words of one individual that struck a note with me and helped me cope and progress. I hope you are in a good place these days and have one way or another kept yourself well enough to survive to pursue your wants and goals in life. I wish you all the best. Thanks for sharing.🙏🙏
@@drphibesrises unfortunately the dark side of Japan only becomes apparent when you really approach the culture, and even so, many Japanese people see nothing wrong with it. Also, the problem I see with simply telling people to "get help" is that it's become a staple, it's as if it's the ultimate solution to the issue, everything will be better if you "get help", and that isn't true, unfortunately, because the "help" hardly ever helps at all. As for me. I guess I keep on trying to find goals to have, trying to believe things are worth pursuing. I will probably die without finding it.
The dark side of Japan is seldom exposed. Japan, like the West embrace nihilism and heronism. Its a materialist-pretentious society ... and its population is dying fast.
As an American, I can PROMISE YOUUUUUUUU that not even close to half of 78% of Americans are satisfied with their jobs. Not. Even. Remotely. Close.
And was a dollar a day India/Bharat numero uno? What a joke 😂.
So?
Software engineering is a job that pays well but sucks bad depending on the company you work for
🤣🤣🤣 thought the same thing seeing that.
Nobody is satisfied, work is a torture.
This is a tough one. Suicide is something that is just a terrible thing. I know with veterans that we have what's known as a person we can just talk to and cry on their shoulders. They don't judge, and they just listen, and I have seen it work a lot. For these young people they need that one person like that and who would just get them away from the cyberworld. Just one person can make a difference.
Absolutely this. As someone who used to get bullied a lot way back in my school days, it nearly drove me to that point, but the wonderful lady who came to be my wife just this year is also the one I call my saviour and my angel, because it felt almost as if she swooped down to catch me before I would fall, and I'm forever thankful for that. That one person is absolutely capable of making a difference ( even if they don't even know they're making one in the first place or knowing what's actually going on! )
@@TTMS-Khaz-kunbut they say you shouldn't be codependent with one person, it's not fair for one person to be everything for the weak person. at least that what i was told after my partner left me 🤷♀️
@@vivvy_0 It's true that they shouldn't be the only thing keeping you together so to speak and even less so to expect another to "fix you" or your problems and/or make you happy if you cannot be happy otherwise, since that does put pressure on said partner.
In my case, I was in a low place and I just simply spoke to my wife and spent time with her ( this is at the time I'd met her. ) I never said anything of my situation or issues, but that they'd get better and my mood improved drastically was more of a byproduct of, rather than her conciously being aware and doing something about it - which is where the latter bit of my comment comes from about the fact that the person may be doing something to help you even if they wouldn't realise it/know what's going on.
TL;DR: No, you shouldn't be with your partner with an expectation of them making you better/happy.
I work at a large university here in Japan...I tell ALL my students to come see me immediately if they have thoughts of suicide, self-harm, or intent to harm others. They also come to me if they are getting harassed. We DO have resources here, but a lot of people see a stigma around accessing help and will just try to handle it themselves. As a gaijin, I can be non-judgmental and they know it and will come to me. I get them the help they need and offer a discreet shoulder to lean on. Sometimes, they just need to talk to an older adult and get reassurance.
We as adults in the Japanese village MUST raise our kids well. The health of our youth is for all society members.
Part of that is teaching kids to stay off the damned Internet. These people PUT themselves out there to get attention and make money...not realizing how vicious it can be. Having parents and elders who keep people from becoming influencers or idols is the very first and basic step to stopping this kind of thing.
اليابانيين عامة لديهم مشكل مع الثقة في النفس .. ولديهم ثقافة العار saving face culture .. شيء غريب حقا !!
I agree with the person who highlighted that one of the primary causes of the high suicide rate is probably that people aren't taught the coping skills needed to deal with difficult emotions and therefore struggle with being ability to self-regulate and maintain their own mental health. I'm a therapist so I see this really often. Where I live in the US, though, it's becoming normalized for teens to voluntarily go to therapy. Age of consent for mental health treatment is 14 in my state, so I've had quite a few teens who decided on their own to get support, scheduled their own appointments (sometimes against their parents' wishes), and they don't feel any shame about it at all. They even tell their friends that they're going to therapy and often this encourages their friends to then go to therapy, as well. I hope Japanese youth can reach that point some day too.
Coping skills and own standards. When you have high general knowledge, logical thinking skills and can distinguish valid and invalid argument, you don't even need much coping skills, because you realise that close to 100% of the time when someone is mean, that person is just an idiot who's in wrong.
But despite such a system, the suicide rate and the percentage of mental health patients in the U.S. continue to increase year after year
In 2022, the suicide rate in the U.S. finally surpassed the suicide rate in Japan.

20 yrs old here. Had some really bad experiences during ages 10-17, and I now truly hate the internet. I despise it. If I ever have kids, they won’t have access to any of this until they are 16, maybe even later. I don’t mean to sound like a boomer, but it is the internets fault(of course I am generalizing). Social media blows
That’s good, it’s honestly how it should be
As recently turned 21 in 2 days, I agree with you. I remember when internet had less stuffs that didn’t consume lots of times. For now I only use Twitter for news, nothing else. Those social platforms are designed to keep you addicted, which boosts engineers’ incomes. I dunno will ever I have kids, time will tell what future holds :)
I think its not the internet fault, but rather society at large not addressing the problems, and the internet gave people the ability to see the truth that used to be hidden.
I remember years back thinking about things that were acceptable at the time, but not acceptable now. Then I thought about what it was that was acceptable now, but may not be acceptable in the future.
Every few years, the thought that the internet and social media is something that requires actual age restriction and regulation because of how addicting it is only seems less and less crazy over time.
Awww gen z baby got feelings hurt while staring at a screen? Gen z is so pathetic 😂
Thank you so much for putting the helpline in the description.
In my own experience in both Japan and America, I can say that we Americans don’t have that same filter when it comes to arguing or confrontation with anyone. It does not matter if it’s my boss, parents, wife, friends… we speak our mind even if we are wrong. Especially true in the navy, we develop a love hate relationship with each other and most (not all) get to that thick skinned level of not caring what someone thinks of us.
I must say, yours is the first comment about this video that I can relate to. I grew up in Oz (Australia). I do feel for those being bullied but, in my youth, if we had considered nasty words to have the power of bullets, which seems to be much more common nowadays, probably a quarter of the kids at my school would have succumbed before finishing school. If you wore glasses, had a big butt, had a speech impediment, came from a foreign country or a poor family (the list goes on) you were a prime target for the most horrendous bullying - both verbal and physical. The oddity is that we had zero suicides at our schools. In fact I didn’t hear of a suicide until I was almost 30, and that wasn’t a young person. It’s true that suicide is a problem in Japan. I do wonder though if the problem was as common here in earlier generations. I doubt it!
This situation sucks no matter the country. Laws just need to be much better and need to get rid of "oh just suck it up" type of situations.
My best advice is to expect the worse things to happen like it's normal and ignore it like it never existed.
Humans inherited sins. Single or double parents families, guardians, & grandparents don't teach their infants or toddlers to lie, steal food or toys, and to not admit their faults. When u were babies, u inherited sins cuz sin was passed down from our first human father, Adam. As we grow older, we sin more and our magnitude of sins grow more extreme. God doesn't allow sin in heaven.

I study both Korean and Japanese languages and South Korea definitely has the same problem. It's mind boggling to me both that people would be so mean, and that celebrities would be so affected by it that they would take their life.
There's a Korean RUclipsr who makes language videos and stopped showing her face in her videos. She thought she had to show her face but later saw that some RUclipsrs don't and they still have a large audience and I think she's much happier now. I like seeing people's faces so I stopped watching. I don't think she got negative comments - she's a sweetheart so I hope not. I think she just has a shy personality despite being a RUclipsr.
Would you mind linking to the Korean RUclipsr?
@@deleteme924 sorry don’t have it saved.
Ah I see, oh well
6:35 _We don't know how to deal with hate comments_ (paraphrasing) This guy is telling the truth. As long as online hate has an impact on the influencer, it will have power over them. So the RUclipsrs and influencers need to pacify it somehow.
Appreciate your insight on these tough topics Nobita
For this reason and many others my kids WILL NOT have smart phones until they’re at least 16. Social media is too much if it’s all you know. I think people should grow up without it first.
Hello Nobita, I don't believe I have ever commented on any of your videos before, I've never met you before, and I haven't seen too many of your videos despite being subscribed for roughly 7 years. This video was saddening to see, and I hope this type of stuff ends soon. I saw your pinned comment, and wanted to tell you not to listen to any hate. I know this probably won't mean much coming from me, some random American dude online but, I subscribed to you instantly after watching one video because you seemed like such a nice guy, and genuinely curious and caring about the topics you discussed. You also came across as a very kind and honest dude and I thought it was cool. Nothing good or worth keeping in life ever comes easy. I wish you all the best! Never give up! Even if you have some haters out there, remember you have lots of people that like you too.
My ex was Japanese and she used to tell me about the culture I even visited Japan in February and observed how true this may be.

I think anyone who wants to seriously take being an influencer must have a thick face even if there are haters around - This happens to anyone regardless of which political or cultural leaning.
Have a thick face also means mentally strong. Some could be good critics, but the others are pure hate.
I admire you Nobita because you always make videos about sensitive topics that youtubers don't usually talk about. It's very sad such young people being depressed and I had no clue that online hate comments were that harsh, it's really unfair. Mental health should never be a stigma, that's the best way to deal with such bad comments and hate, and I'm very sorry to hear that you also received hate comments because you don't deserve it.

I have been struggling with depression and increased anxiety ever since the war started, then my grandparents passed away one by one, my dad got diagnosed with cancer and after years of chemotherapy passed away. Have lived in japan for 6 years, finally a Japanese acquaintance of mine helped me make an appointment with a mental counselor about an hour away by bus at 8 am a month or so later (nobody is available right away ever, but hey, trains keep running). I had a panic attack the night before, took my meds and passed out for a few hours. Didn't make it to the appointment. I called to apologize and to try and reschedule and was told that no slots are available. EVER. I was blacklisted for good. And I'm a foreigner, foreigners are treated nicely in Japan. Imagine what Japanese people go through. Of course committing a suicide is a lot easier here than actually finding help. But you also have to show everybody how horribly you are doing, otherwise nobody will take you seriously. Robbin Williams wouldn't have even gotten mental counseling here. If you dare to smile, you cannot be depressed.

Black companies contribute to that as well.
Edit: Labor laws need a lot of regulation.
The question is how Japanese look at life and death?
Even during WW2 , the USA was confused with the Japanese suicide airplanes.
It's a big question why Japan has forever this positive look at suicide, which need to be resolved first.
This video is certainly highly informative. Looking forward to your next upload. Stay safe and keep in touch.

In an advanced technology country like Japan haven't they heard of the block button on these trolls
There's a lot of haters and dedicated ones even make alt accounts, unless you hire a mod. Blocking haters are a Sisyphean task
I agree with Joey "Anime Man" "Trash Taste" about the negative comments directed at Japanese RUclipsrs. Those who can read Japanese might be shocked at the persistence and the thumbs up supporting negative comments - Japanese collective behavior at its worst. People say things like, you are fraudulently taking advantage of viewers by telling false stories to gain sympathy and to be monetized, have you no shame? to someone talking about how hard it is to make a living and cope with physical illness, and these comments will receive over a hundred thumbs up. And others will join in with more negative comments with hundreds of people liking the negative comments so that the entire view count becomes high just from negative comments and their approval. It also makes those who genuinely feel sorry for the RUclipsr to stay silent in case they get attacked for defending the person. I've never seen anything like it in English. It's like shark feeding frenzy to attack the RUclipsr until they delete their account.
It's a sad and heartbreaking topic. All i can say to those people who are suffering is keep your head up and stay strong. Ignore the trolls and focus on the people who love and support you👍

I'm suicidal for 5 years and still am til this day because of bullying. The Japanese can try to ignore any form of bullying by walking away, ignore it or just do things that makes them happy. Keeps you out of harms way.
@@babyvaso3855 no. Engaging in that activity IS a you problem. I'm much more cautious and have a better understanding of social media unlike before. So, I know what to expect. I plan on getting a job after senior high, so I'm good.
Reading you comment, I knew people would come and try to give you advices about something they never experienced and how you are wrong to feel the way you do.
I've went through a similar phase. It can be quite harsh cause its all psychological and drains you out emotionnaly and physically even psychologiclly. Especially for some who had a really bad childhood and remember they didnt even ask to be born.
I dont know what you went through, but I'll just say, Just dont give to others the power to ruin you mentally.
@@babyvaso3855 oh fuck off, i can be whatever I like as long I don't impose trouble onto others.
if they feel that easily offended, their fault cry harder
It's tough for the Japanese because they've been trained from when they first learned to talk that the group is more important than the individual. They are brainwashed into thinking happiness can only be found as a member of a group. But you are right, if you can create a physical distance or just allow the passage of time, the bad energy gets less. Everyday, we live the best we can with what we can think of at the time. Just don't bully yourself on top of everything else, you deserve so much more.
Some of the suicide clusters are the Werther Effect. Like after Cobain died there was a spike in suicides. And with many of them, they were listening to Cobain's music prior or during the deed. That too, gets reported, and it inspires others to follow suit.
But others seem to be that they are incredibly depressed or stressed, see or hear of a "celebrity" doing it Ad nauseam on every type of media to the point it almost seems like it is unintentional subliminal encouragement.
Media reporting on suicide clusters seems terribly handled.
It is very sad.
Every magic comes at a price. Japan’s top quality comes from the entire society’s mental stress environment. I really feel for the people there. I will pray that you can find a solution.

@@EyFmS Indeed! Sometimes fiction is inspired by reality
I hope they will work through this problem successfully!
It is alright to be concern or not know about what happens after this life. Fortunately there's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, and not to get tired anymore.
Imagine you will be invincible, immortal, and holy with a new, upgraded body to the core! Imagine everyone around you will be the same as you. Isn't that a delightful thought? It's true you or anyone can have eternal life.
All you got to do is to accept Jesus Christ 🙏 as your Savior! Once you do, He will let you into heaven during your day when you finally see Him!
As always, thank you for such interesting comment. I think the platforms should ban anonymity. Let people suffer the consequences of what they say.
Thanks for the video!
It is better to be hated than disregarded
people should fight back when bullied.. if they hate you let them be but if they hurt you let them bleed.. life is precious so fight back to live.. be strong..
The government needs to take more action to prevent this, maybe a place where these people can escape to when they feel like this. Suicide is seen as an escape.
isnt it? They want to escape life, what else you propose? go to another world? I mean instead of giving wishfull thinking provide actual solutions. Cause a "place so that people can escape" wont do nothing. At the end of the day they go back to their same life.
Alcohol?? Sex?? Maybe Drug??? whats your solution?? Family? what about those who dont have or got rejected? Friends?? If they had real friends, many wouldnt be in that situation.
For people who never went through something that litteraly broke them down psychologically to the point of driving them to suicide, cant understand these people. Its like someone who never experienced financial instability saying to someone going through that :"Oh its fine Im sure things will get better." or "Just get a job". Things are more complex than they seem
One of the reasons I want to become a household name is to be here for good souls like some these people, especially the ones speaking up.
Like some are saying they're ugly, but I see them and most of these people they look very good.
you are a beacon of hope for japanese people.

No matter how strong your mental defense are, reading hateful comments everyday is going to break you at some point. Best thing is filter them or ignore them.
Hire moderators to delete inappropriate comments, and use the RUclips settings to restrict comments, etc.

I want to say that this is heartbreaking, and it is, but more than that, it's infuriating. It made me so angry to hear Hare talk about how others would encourage her to quit making videos if she didn't want hate comments. What about the commenters??? If they don't enjoy the content, why can't they just mind their business and click away? Block the creator, block the content, go watch something else. It's really that easy.

Yeah sadly the problem with suicide in Japan has been there for a long long time so I'm actually positively surprised that as a whole there's a decline this decade
Wow, I looked up some videos of the makeup youtuber you mentioned early on in the video - that is just so sad... I can understand why someone would feel hopeless after that. If a girl so beautiful and skilled cant take living life, how would you as a stressed person watching them feel like you have a better chance? I know these mental spirals, its tough.
Here in the philippines we have anti cyberbullying law when can file a case of who bully and discriminate you online non stop you can even sue them
Haters gonna hate. Better to focus on signal and ignore noise. Those who reccur to ad hominem fallacies (insults) usually have no real arguments and usually lack any logical critical thinking about it, they just throw such tantrums because internet anonimity gives them the confidence they wouldn't have to do it in person.
It's even worse when one aspect of the culture prevents people from speaking up about their situations. Japanese society prioritizes others over thyself, which leads to many not opening up about their problems or seeking help due to thinking they'd become a burden to others. It's messed up. When I suffered depression in the past, I wanted to reach out to people but was almost constantly shut down. But to have to force yourself to stay quiet seems worse in my opinion because it messes with your psyche even more.
You are a special and unique person. Your life & soul matter. Your life is very short compared to eternity.
Therefore if you want to spend eternity on heaven after your life here on earth 🌎, you should believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior. If you don't, you will miss going to heaven and end up in the lake of fire. It is terrible so I beg you to make the only correct decision for God to allow you to go to heaven. Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. 🙏 Have a nice day. God does love ❤️ you.
I get it. Here is the thing about humans, we only remember extremes. Say every experience is on a 1-10 scale, 10 being best. Most people will see a post on their video and see it as a 4-6 and thus it will be lost to their recall. From time to time you will have heart touching/eye opening posts, your 7+ that will leave a mark on the person. Then there are the haters who will post and attack, 3 or less. The issue is that most posts in the extremes are in the latter category. These ladies aren't ugly but those posts stick with people more than the people who post 4-6 level posts ever will.
If Japan gives me sponsorship I can set up effective service that will change all this
Honestly, it's offensive they blame suicides on influencers, and never seem to look at what would lead someone to contemplate suicide in the first place. I've tried it many times, it's not just an easy "oh the cool ppl is doing it so I guess I will try". No, it comes from a place of deep despair, of no longer seeing a point to live. But of course no one there cares that so many people are so lost in such a despair. To them, people should just bottle it up and carry on as usual, no one cares you don't see a point in living after all. All that matters is that you perform your functions and look good at it.
Japanese women are the most beautiful creatures in this world. They have no reason to feel insecure. It is just that the rest of the world is jealous of their beauty. So the world has no choice but to bring these beautiful girls down, with lies just to make themselves feel better. The truth is Japanese women are on a whole another level of beauty.

It's sad to hear about young people going away too soon. Being in the states, I wished they had some of the American style of loving one another like people noticing someone in distress and going out their own way to help them whatever they can. A small gesture really goes a long way..
This is a new topic and thank you for covering suicide among celebrities as well. I seriously wanted to understand why Haruma miura my favourite actor died. Rip Haruma miura.
I had heard about the paradox of young Japanese self-deleting whenever an idol/public figure does/or dies. That was about a decade ago though. It really is a shame that for all the great things about Japan, the country has to deal with such a flummoxing rationale in their youth.
In regards to the type of people who make these type of venomous comments: I think the sophistry of "They must have a terrible life/something wrong with them, so just ignore them and move on." is exactly that. People are keen to sweep other people and their suffering under the rug. Hare brings this up when she says "Putting the blame on her doesn't mean the issues causing this type of behaviour is being solved." Instead of just "outlawing" or "regulating" Cyberbullying, there needs to be steps taken to increase the quality of life of the people of whom are suffering to the point that lashing out online is their own release. Otherwise the problem will never truly be address and these people themselves would be put into even worse situations depending on the punishment for online harassment.
If just telling people to not be venomous/toxic was effective, the League of Legends community would be paradise. However Riot even bans these users and yet they still find ways to remain bitter and in the community.
Though what if it is disproven that abused people abuse people? What if it becomes down to a problem of anonymity, what would be the solution then? Linking our social media accounts/online presence to our Government I.D.s and such? That way their real reputation is on the line when they interact with online people. That seems like a level of Surveillance State that many people would be opposed to. Especially with no guarantee to protect others from harassment.
Anyway, that is my soliloquy about this subject. It has been a conversation in the US for as long as I can remember. I think learning to manage one's anxiety, stress and emotions in general with techniques backed by high levels of research and efficacy should be common place in schools around the world. How can people be expect to learn how to bring peace and tranquility to others when they do not know how to bring it to themselves? Almost all people are not beyond redemption, in my view, why are so many people willing to throw other humans away like they're trash if they don't act in a way that one person desires?
I deeply enjoy the fact that Hare also briefly explains a concept in Stoicism(in regards to separating the online actions of people from the *real* person) even if she may not be familiar with the philosophy. She strikes me as a wise person due to that. I wish more people would be able to know about such ideologies, philosophies and study them to help improve their lives. I feel Psychology and Philosophy go hand-in-hand.
Thank you for this powerful video on a deeply complex issue as always, Nobita. Be well and stay safe.
I call it “first world problems.” They live in one of the greatest countries in the world and don’t realize how good they have it.
They have to develop resilience.
You don’t hear much of this type of stuff in places like Hati or Somalia or another country with extreme horrific living conditions!
The question I have, and hopefully you ask as well, is why is this happening so much today. The answer is right in front you and it comes in many ways -- causes and affects. There is no real solution but you can minimize how it affects you but most people can't or won't make changes in their lives in order to do it. Truly sad.
Stick and stone can break your bone..but words can never hurt you: Dan Pena.
Not only in Japan but alot in all over the world.
The ugly massive cementification, urbanization, strong social conditioning and lack of freedom are certainly strong factors.
Being mother of twenty years and teens descendants, who live with me, I feel like wanting to hug those beautiful young girls and really slap badly any one who hurts them.. girls and boys as well need to have anti bullying mentality

My best advice. For you japan guys & girls Just ignore the bad comments And I live your life the way you want to and 良い 嬉しい
oh the tenchimu drama was intense.. she hat to pay back 3 million USD within a year or so
I feel bad for people/creators in Japan (especially the younger generation of Japanese people).
They didn't deserve to get harassed or Cyberbullied.
The younger generation of Japanese people deserve support and respect.
This is why I might marry to a Japanese women (or a hafu women) that has the same age as mine in the future.
Assuming you're for real, first things first, drop the savior mentality. Your future Japanese wife wants you to value her as an equal on her own merits, not someone superior to her who's going to save her from society
@luodeligesi7238 I gotta be careful about this.
Also, first of all, I'm not one of those toxic people/weak-minded people.
Second of all, I'm becoming a indie game developer.
And third of all, I love girls with big titties.
@@luodeligesi7238Exactly my point. Japan’s issues are self-inflicted. I’m so tired of the western defence police always trying to come rescue them.
@@TheIshmael98 Fuck those toxic people/weak-minded people/snowflake-minded people from the west!
Low self-esteem comes from strict social norms and expectations. Rules are fine and necessary, but when they clip wings of self-identity, they become oppressive and breaking.
Damn Japan’s ‘fat’ in the online community is equivalent to America’s low-end of skinny
dear japanese friends respect and admiration . when i went past a homeless person and i felt hate for him. it came back to me. some body projected hate to me and i now try to be more compasionate in my thoughts towards everyone . especially when i do not know them well, it takes sometime but now there is much less hate towards me and it is challenging to send out good feelings to everyone but its good in your culture its expected that you work hard. and give gifts . and perform to society , and there are many people living there. i think you should look after yourself that will look after japan . go home from work 5 minetes early .give very very small " obligatory" gifts when the time comes. reduce stress on yourself, reduce stress on others . learn some jokes to share. thanks to you nobita san . if a little change or adaption in the system happens and gives hope . to those who feel there needs are not totally met. will it be good? best wishes
Why be on social media? Its played out. Make and meet friends IRL. Definitely 100 times more rewarding.
Given how social media in general has worsened the mental state of people, it's pretty much a given that most of us would need mental help at some point in our lives. Society certainly shouldn't stigmatize that. Heck, some people don't even talk to family about it. A level of support is so important at that point. It definitely needs to be worked on, given how uneven the approach to mental health is across cultures, especially in Asia, but also in parts of Europe.
If I were them I would say "Di ka mahal ng mama mo" "Kulang ka sa aruga" It's Filipino phrase to some bashers in the internet. By definition it is like "Your mama don't love you, you don't have enough love from your childhood that's why you turn out to be a bitter person. Your life is miserable and lonely that the only thing you can do is project all your frustrations and bitterness to the people like me who has a money, famous, beautiful and successfull than you" That's the literal meaning of that tagalog phrase to those bashers and keyboards warriors. I wish japanese youtuber and idols have a guts to talkback to those kind of person, instead of consuming all those negative comments and later on will make them kill theirselves
(7:45) Is there no way of seeing a school counselor anonymously?
Hmmm…. I don’t think that what has to be blamed are people that say harsh things over the net, as most of them are just hurting themselves and need to vent. I think there is an underlying issue where people, society wise, think they cannot and should not rely on others for this, or they are burden others with this, including their family and close friends. Family relations I believe is the main culprit, and that is the reason why is starting to a visible issue on other countries where this was not the case (eg. The US).
I already commented something mostly unrelated to the video, but in relation to the video, I think the root of a lot of the cultural problems in Japan is a lack of honesty. I'm not sure if this was always a trait of Japan. But in the modern era, the individual citizens of Japan need to be more honest with themselves and with others if Japan is to survive.
Personally I don't particularly like the modern era. It makes problems like these and the deaths of countries far more common.
Truth: The Japan society make up make it too difficult for change to happen and for young people to seek help. They have structured themselves in a way that will kill off their younger generation.
Confession and projection from the "haters". These are the people with the mental health issues, just trying to bring others down.
Sad to hear this story 😢
Talking about depression can buy you time or distract but doesnt solve the root issue. Lack of faith and purpose, belonging (which is why talking can help), anxiety about financial and cultural security, and work-life balance
🥀 one of your interviewers said something like
孤独やいじめなどを話せる文化が日本でも育まれることを願っています。
i wish (for years now) that i could come and help you guys
(too busy with my own life here now: bombs, shelters, surviving, you know:).
maybe some other time 🥲
i contacted almost all the people you wrote down in your description, even the organizations.
impressive work, but still not enough.
something have got to change in your country, and it seems to be
all them older generation that keep maintaining the things as they are.
i wish they would let your generation some way of rescuing Japan from a path of obscurity.
i am so Proud of You and Your Work 🌻!
(sorry for the change in the channel name:)
You Are Unique 🪶⚔
Keep your head High and let no one discourage you !
N-San, always (and for a long time am) here for you🌼
One’s opinion just reflects himself, not the person he has opinions about. Why taking your own life because of some strangers?
We need to discuss this offline with friends and people as everything has a solution. 😅
Entertainment is either being bored or trying to manage your stress and frustrations, so it's common to see bad mannered gaming communities, some of which might force you to quit the very game. In this context, the game is online presence or life itself. The basic advice would be to not let it get to you, but harassers almost certainly make sure it does, so at best you can avoid being an easy mark. Sound like Japanese platforms and channels need harsher moderation. Also, unless it's your job, it makes ZERO sense to make a profile where you get roasted, so stay anonymous.
I really like Japan and its culture, but this attitude of some Japanese, bullying people they consider “different and inferior” is something very sad in their society, in my opinion, I mean, they say, for example, that they are ashamed of expressing love because they are shy, but when it comes to expressing hate, to the point of leading their compatriots to kill themselves, (as happened with poor little Hana Kimura) there is no shame at all. In fact, when I found out about her death at the time, I was both sad and angry at the lack of sensitivity on the part of the producers of that reality show, and especially with the internet users, (or better said CRIMINALS!), who sent those nasty comments to her, until the point of her taking her own life.
Thank you Nobita
My advice:Take criticism as a compliment.Anyone criticising that girl are totally ignorant.
Around a decade ago there was a big stir in the US Army when the data showed that some key assumptions about suicide were wrong. We used to believe that what caused suicide among Soldiers and veterans was PTSD they suffered from combat. However, the suicide rate for Soldiers who never saw combat was the same for Soldiers who did see combat. A scary implication is that it is not trauma breaking a person that drives them to suicide, but instead some people are already predisposed to suicide and it only takes a reason. A look at global suicides show that people in developed countries are significantly more likely to commit suicide than people in developing countries even though people in developed countries live more comfortable lives.
There is something wrong in advanced countries like the United States and Japan, I personally find there are people who are just spiritually broken. I have found a significant number of people just don't have real meaning in their lives. The best they have is some external validation such as family, a job, or worse, social media, that gives their life value. When those external validations collapse, the perceived value of their own life collapses with it. A person in such a state of despair has little protection against suicide and unfortunately people take their own life. The best we can do is help people who are spiritually broken, but I don't see any realistic solutions to keep people from breaking spiritually in the first place.
Another great job! Thank you very much! A point that I consider very important: why do people want or aspire to become influencers, RUclipsrs or something like that? It is clear that formal professions are very problematic, but I think that there are enormous educational, cultural, intellectual, psychological, etc., problems in the training of children, young people and adults in today's societies! A revolution in education is extremely urgent! With massive investments in professionals, equipment, techniques, etc! And, obviously, in current labor relations! And most obviously at the initiative of central governments! What are governments for? What are politicians for? They should work for the happiness of their respective people! Why, after all, do they earn salaries from our taxes?
On the other hand Japan has one of the highest life expectancy rates in the world. This is in large part due to their healthy diet and lack of obesity. Before you get overly critical of their culture we need to understand that many more people are killed by obesity in, say, the United States than are killed by suicide in Japan.
Hopefully they make a law of cyberbullying as a crime. There's a limit to what we can say to other people. Words are no joke, we never know what people are going through

Cyberbullying needs to be punished.
If I may say so humbly, Japanese youths ought to come back to the center of their own existence by practicing Zazen everyday. Then they would see they are already whole, already loved, already accepted and there is nothing to attain. No-one is ever alone. We are one with the Universe and everyone else, only don’t realise it.
