"Journalism"

What brand of journalism willingly turns a blind eye to the industry's biggest scandle (in recent memory) and the ripple effect it caused throughout?

I don't care how vague you consider this, the fact remains that she may or may not be culturally ignorant and may or may not have chosen based on knowledge she may or may not have to dress as she did, knowing or not knowing what the text on her clothes means.

Out of curiosity and for clarification (to dispel the notion that I've completely misunderstood), what are your subjective opinions on these situations? A simple yes/no for each will suffice.

Contradiction #1: You are berating others in this thread. Comments to Jilkon:

Actually, I'm not even mad. You're amazing!

You have nothing to show for it seeing as how you can't understand why this made news.

At least I'm not the dumbass that can't recognize the difference between something making news and actually being newsworthy. Buzz off.

Oh, I understand that a small minority of idiots, which you seem to count yourself amongst, found it offensive. You should probably find something else to get politically correct and upset about. Maybe something closer to home that isn't blatantly out of your depth.

Except that short of creatures not yet identified and known to man, "monsters" in the traditional sense do not exist.

Everything you've just said is a complete non sequitur. In any other realm of discourse, your reasoning would be thrown out the window or considered trite at best. But let's take it one step at a time:

Learn your history and study up on sociology please.

Of course, just about everyone here is jumping to the conclusion she can't tell the difference between Japanese scripts and hangul just because she wore that shirt. So, if there is no evidence she is culturally ignorant, why does wearing a shirt with Korean script constitute a poor choice in wardrobe exactly?

Bad historical relations isn't really a good defense for the idiotic netouyo who get up in arms over the Korean word for "color." People like this are bigots, whether they're Japanese or not.

If your definition of cultural awareness means to avoid wearing clothes featuring words that are not part of the local language, I'd say you're the one who's lacking.

Let's be honest, the only people getting upset about this in Japan are either nutty right-wingers or people from 2chan (and they find a reason to get upset about a lot of stupid shit).

If a Japanese pop star came to America and was wearing a shirt with the word "Colores" on it, I doubt many American would care. Those that do, would be called out for being the imbeciles they are.

I don't understand what is feminist about wanting to be represented well in a medium that you truly love?

Patricia two things:

The Japanese (Toho Studios) also rebranded and created the name "Godzilla" for its debut to American audiences. So, what you're saying is pretty awkward.

The funny thing is...the name "Godzilla" originated in Japan.
