A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I don’t ever want to hear his name again. People like him, and Logan Paul in Japan, who intentionally disrespect entire nations for views, make life harder for those of us who are trying to be contributing members of their societies.
Lock him up until my kid is an adult.
Paul's drink apparently hit the shelves recently here in Japan (not in my rural corner but in urban areas). Because of japanese defamation laws, I can't say anything (even saying something 100% provably true can get you sued here), but it sure would be a shame if people brought it up a lot in English and japanese on the internet a lot
Wait, you can't be critical of someone if they're selling a product regardless?
Apparently only if what you say is true and for the public benefit can you escape penalty.
Ho-lee-shit I had no idea Japanese law was so ass-backwards.
It’s among the most conservative societies on this planet. Fucking he’ll you can still smoke in restaurants there
Japanese law [is] so ass-backwards.
Careful. No matter which country you're comparing it against, the cherry-picking goes both ways. :-P
They have the death penalty. Imho any country with the death penalty is primitive and inadequate in terms of law. It's that solution for when your legal system is unable to rehabilitate criminals or keep the population safe otherwise. There's a reason why most countries with the death penalty are struggling poor African, middle eastern and south east asian nations. Some edge cases on developed countries too, of which Japan is one.
Beast and Paul have a huge following in Asia, sadly enough.
both korean and japanese people are some of the nicest people on planet earth but they wont let you walk over them this is why you stay with tourist groups and if you do want to go semi solo you should higher a native speaker this way you avoid breaking the law
As someone living in Japan, I'm angry at the limp punishment he got here. I hope he gets the book thrown at him
This guy sucks hard, and then I find out he is MAGA, ok, it's starting to make sense...
Finger crossed he gets the book thrown at him for disrespecting all avenues of Korean culture including now their courts. Hopefully a decade or so in a Korean slammer after what he did might make him reconsider his priorities.
That might be the most titan-looking expression that I’ve ever seen in a photo of a human.
Please make a legal example out of him.
Oh Somali. What a ride it’s been. The justice is sweet.
Legal Mindset’s coverage on YouTube about this case has been excellent.
