    I knew something traumatic happened to you based off how you spoke in the hoeing in japan 101 video. Your eyes are exhausted and you seem really down. It's so sad to see how many women go through this exact process of going through sexual trauma, not getting justice, and then trying to cope in a way that's self destructive. It's painful to know this is so so common. Hope you find peace and healing.

    I am sorry for what happened to you. I hope that you seek help from a trauma psychologist and will be open to it. If you have experienced this much pain and trauma in Japan I suggest you leave. There are a lot of Asian countries that are safer and their rules are stricter, making it safer. It’s never safe to get drunk in public so I hope even with friends dont do this. Never accept drinks from strangers. Always have a panic button with you as a deterrent. It will attract attention and you can run to the nearest police station. Never hesitate. Avoid staying out too late esp if you’re alone. Again, I am sorry for these traumatic experiences . It’s not your fault. Remember these men are predators.

    Hi Morena, thank you so much for sharing your story on KZread, I know that you must have passed through a lot of mental hurdles in finally deciding to share your story with us. I empathise so much with what you have been through, in or outside of Japan. I understand that you are more than a victim, but I must relay my statement of solidarity and support to you as a victim. The reason why your video came up was because I wanted to understand how or what rape culture in Japan is. The reason why I wanted to find out about that was because I’m trying to make an analysis essay on my Tumblr about Tadaima, Okaeri ep 11. Your video gave me anecdotal understanding about the rape culture in Japan. I hope that it’s okay for me to share your video on my Tumblr post as one of the sources. Again, thank you so much for sharing your story

    You are talking about racism you experienced in Japan , but people you mentioned mostly were not Japanese. What do we(Japanese) supposed to do? By the way why do we have to relate to BLM while black people are mocking and assaulting Asian people? We would be appreciated if black people considered black people's racism against Asian people.

But that’s a lot of influencers nowadays. I Literally loved the satire hoeing videos tho, they were funny and so real. I can’t believe you were dealing … well I can because the world is a fucked up place.. you’ve always been true to yourself and so damn real in the way you talked. That to me always made you stand out. I’m sorry you’re a victim to the Internet bs. I hope you can be stronger than the violence pushed upon you, I hope you can see your supporters through the hate.

    Oh, it brings my piss to a boil when Japanese people jump on the nearest convenient cause rally just to feel like they're a part of something exotic. They don't actually give a shit, and will forget about it the next day. People like that tend to be very shallow trend chasers. I've lived here 16 years so far, and have come to realize that the longer I live here, the longer I observe the ways that tatemae masks the overwhelming amount of racist sentiment there is among Japanese people. I'm just a white, harmless, little old lady by now, and I still hear comments from time to time. Most recently, some little shit kid made the comment very loudly to their friend as I was walking home from the supermarket - down my street in the neighborhood I've lived in for almost the entire time I've been here, and where everyone knows me - "Oh, look at the suspicious people! Dangerous!!!" Where does an 8 year old learn that kind of language? Parents, of course. Grandparents, of course. Passing racism down through the generations is still alive and well. Just because they're restricting their hateful comments to their own dinner tables doesn't mean it's not happening. Just because they're smiling and acting politely to you in a shop doesn't mean they haven't just shit all over foreigners to their coworker last time they were annoyed by a tourist bumbling around. It's all just a show, and we either have to accept it, or it'll just eat us up from the inside out. Part of living and flourishing here is being able to tolerate (not accept with open arms, though) that It Is What It Is, and continue living our lives here around the people and things we love and enjoy - and which support us as human beings on the planet, rather than stereotypes. There's something a lot more insidious about Japanese racism, too, because it usually only comes out here in passive-aggressive ways, or as - what we used to call - "microaggressions". Or you see it online, which only reinforces the fact that people are cowardly and would never say what they really feel to anyone's face. At least in places like the US, if someone's a straight up racist, they make it very clear from the jump, or by doing or saying something unmistakeable. You know exactly who they are. You then have the choice to respond and confront them, or walk away - but you're never left wondering. As disgusting as it is to be directly harassed, I'd still rather have that than be dealing with a two-faced coward...and here, sadly, we're surrounded by them. I salute you for sticking it out this long - especially through COVID, when all foreigners became the disease-spreading enemy. Wasn't that a joy? I really hope you have a strong support system to fall back on while you're here, and I hope you're able to find a have in that one thing we all need to keep us staying here. That one thing that keeps you interested in the culture. Maybe family members or friends who truly accept you for who you are. Keep on keeping on, and don't let the bad part of Japanese culture (the two-faced, passive-aggressive shit) get you down. You sound like you've been doing great for yourself! ❤

    I appreciate your sharing. I just experienced a couple of instances of racism at the airport in Tokyo during a long layover. Knowing what you've dealt with let's me know it could've been worse. Besides, I did have a good experience with one person who went out of her way to assist me when I needed a lot of help. Just sad to have to travel this far to be reminded that racism exists. Any other person would've cursed them out but I can't afford to get into a bad sitch while on the clock. Really pissed me off but I gotta move on else I'll have let them succeed at throwing me off balance while I waste time wondering if I actually SHOULD'VE fought ugly with ugly.

    Just cuz someone is fluent in English doesn’t mean they understand nuances and know what the underlying meaning of phrases means. If you go overseas then you should expect to be treated in a way that you’re not used to or like. Not saying it’s right what they said but that’s part of living in another culture. It’s part of it. The good and bad. If you don’t like it, then go back home. Why rant and bad mouth another culture and complaining why they don’t do xyz. It’s how it is. It sucks. They won’t change their ways soooo move then if you don’t like it. I don’t get it. But I am sorry you went through that. It’s not ok. No matter who you are or where you are.

    At least you were able to be in charge of the class. I have met highly qualified teachers that act as a puppet next to a Japanese teacher that has poor English skills and never traveled outside of Japan. I have taught kids that were too dumb and shy to learn anything. Also, sometimes an excited parent urged their kid to say something to me in English and the kid doesn't say a single word. They may as well replace these classes with media studies to watch English language movies and listen to songs.

    Those people who tell you that what you went through is "nothing" are just the wrong people to talk to about these problems. Feels like $hit I know. But you just have met the wrong people, that's all. There are people in this world who surely, surely would empathize with you. Japanese men or Japanese in general do not want to talk about Japanese social issues with foreigners. They think themselves as a close collective. If you tell your story to a japanese more often than not he/she would think like "what do I do, do I apologize? does she want me to apologize for my people? does she want me to show guilt? " then the self-defense mechanism hits them "why should I apologize? she is a foreigner, surely she tried to behave as she would in her country with her night life and she put herself in danger... surely she provoked " . That is the mentality of a Japanese who has little to no contact or context of other countries culture other than the Japanese culture aka "culture of shame" as they call it, and are full of stereotypical impressions of female foreigners.

    I wonder if getting help in Japan is really hard, partially because of their social culture. I have never been to Japan (would love to visit), but I wonder if it's so hard to get help there partially because it's so stigmatized, so there's this huge fear of being "shunned" in a way, even with doctors and psychiatrists there. I know that even getting mental health care here in the U.S. can be difficult due to insurance, working hours (as most therapists are only available during the day, and every few are available nights/weekends), and therapists themselves are getting burned out right and left, causing a lot to leave for extended periods of time (a reason why I left the threrapy agency I was with). Yes, we're suppose to advocate for ourselves, but even that can be so exhausting and overwhelming. Hopefully, things will get better for you.

    Glad I found your video so I don't feel so alone right now. Did a Osaka exchange program as a brown skinned latino girl and I couldn't belive the amount of sexual harrasment I had to deal with and I always felt that it had something to do with the fact that people (japanese and foreigner) saw me like an exotic animal instead of an actual person. When talking with my white friends that were in the exchange with me was like we were living pararell experiences, it wasn´t like they didn't experience harrasment but my experience was just so much violent, I mean, I had to fight physically more than a couple of times just to get a guy out of me on the streets. And one time that I started to get on a more stable sexual relationship with a japanese men it started to turn out violent so quickly that I didn't have the time to actually process in the moment that what was happening was wrong, I mean, it started normal and the I have him slapping my face, choking me, calling me bitch and even telling while having sex that he was raping me or he would like to rape me. I used to blame me a lot, I don't usually do that anymore, not everyone will get it but I got every word you said. Just you being so vulnerable and sharing your story makes me feel understood and less alone in my experiences <3
