[23:39:35] <exec> 08└─They should be sorry, but being sorry isn't good enough. You need to back up your apology with real actions to properly atone for your mistake. And this mistake is a seriously grievous one. So for Twitter, the answer is that they need to simply shut down the service and dissolve the company. That's...

You might find yourself in trouble with the law, for sex outside marriage, if you reported it. Japan isn't like that. Japan is just better.

[23:44:22] <exec> 08└─Better to a degree, yeah. But apparently it's still not the sort of place where rapes routinely go all the way from reporting to prosecution to conviction to punishment, so I'd say it's not all the way better. Well done for completely ignoring the rest of my post, btw.
