Japan is the only first world country in which women are killed more than men, so they definitely have a gender violence issue, but it is retarded to attribute that to anime
@RikaDerufu @LukeAlmighty Looking exclusively at the gender ratio of murders without looking at the total number relative to other countries is retarded.
I remember reading that the per capita number of women killed in Japan is higher than any other first world country, so it takes into account population number
It is definitely a deep cultural east Asia problem and anime has an insignificant role in this

@RikaDerufu @Jens_Rasmussen
So.... 51% of the population accounts for 51% of victims...

Women most affected. :kekw:

Women do not make up 52% of homicide victims in other first world countries, that's the point. Learn per capita please.

@RikaDerufu @Jens_Rasmussen
Oh, tell me what do you think Per capita means...

And how it applies to this particular example.

Dude in Italy in 2022 women made up 39% of homicide victims (126 on 322). That's the difference.
Do you have nigger brain and can't do basic math?
@RikaDerufu @LukeAlmighty I don't care about Italy. You made a point about Japan being a unique case, and the numbers I could find told me otherwise. In fact they told me that Japan is a safer country for women (in terms of risking homicide) than Austria.
Where have you taken the data?
We should also look at updated data (like the one I brought up).
Austria and Germany notoriously have problems with gender based violence, it doesn't matter that it's worse than Japan. All these countries, including Japan, have a problem, at least considering they are first world countries
@RikaDerufu @LukeAlmighty >Where have you taken the data?
Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homicide_statistics_by_gender

>We should also look at updated data (like the one I brought up)
Give me an easy to sort through worldwide list, and I will do that.

>Austria and Germany notoriously have problems with gender based violence
Since I have statistics only for homicide, that's all I can talk about, but Austria is the second safest country in Europe with more than a million inhabitants. Italy would based on this statistic have around three homicided women per one million inhabitants, still more than Japan.
That doesn't make sense because 2022 data says it's 39%.
I could look this up tomorrow maybe, but definitely not on wiki because it has outdated data
@RikaDerufu @LukeAlmighty 2013 data has 31% female homicide victim rate for Italy, so these numbers are even more in your favor in terms of women murdered per one million inhabitants, assuming the murder rates have stayed the same.
The chart you posted still proves my point. Japan has a problem and this doesn't exclude that some European countries also have it.

Austria and Germany basically have legalized human trafficking ("all you can fuck brothels") so I'm not surprised they rank high on this chart.
@RikaDerufu @LukeAlmighty >I'm not surprised they rank high on this chart
THEY LITERALLY RANK THE LOWEST!
I am telling you that Japan is comparable to the safest countries in Europe, not the least safe!
If Japan has a problem, everyone does.
@RikaDerufu @LukeAlmighty Let's take some other famous countries, and see how safe they are for women:

USA, 18%, 14 women murdered per one million pop
UK, 30%, 3 women murdered per one million pop
China, 22%, 2 women murdered per one million pop
Russia, 25%, 23 women murdered per one million pop
Romania, 38%, 6 women murdered per one million pop

Japan is as safe or safer for women than all of these countries based strictly on how often women are murdered.
The point is that the gender imbalance in homicide rate is an anomaly and it means that japanese men might have more problems with women than men from other countries.
It could be explained with Japs being affected by mental illness more often, but I think it's more cultural.

@RikaDerufu > japanese men might have more problems with women
makes sense, I've heard women there can be very cold @LukeAlmighty @Jens_Rasmussen

I assume it's a messy mix of Japan being still very "trad" and on the counterpart having more extreme expressions of feminism (like SK) that causes a lot of tension between the genders
@RikaDerufu @mischievoustomato @LukeAlmighty If the few murders that do happen are politically motivated, and not motivated by insanity or loss of emotional control, why are more than half of victims family members of the murderer?
I would assume it's the same of what happens in Italy but at a lower ratio for women in that country.
Men are still culturally attached to the idea that they have to control the life of the women in their family (wife, daughter etc), and at the same time these women want to embrace modernity and the more extreme version of feminism that country like SK are experiencing. This causes resentment so these men end up killing them, because asian still have a deep feeling of shame regarding their family.
I think the gender imbalance is worse on countries like Japan in SK because there the culture is way more controlling over women, so men are gonna react worse to the effect of feminism and women emancipation.
@RikaDerufu @LukeAlmighty @mischievoustomato "My daughter is a feminist, so I killed her because anime told me to."
Every Japanese man, according to the UN.
I said from the beginning that I think anime doesn't have a role here.
It's like saying crime tv shows in the US cause crime.
@RikaDerufu @LukeAlmighty @mischievoustomato So you think the quote is accurate if the part about anime is edited out? You do realise that fewer Japanese women per capita get killed than Italian ones, right?
If you edit the anime part out you are only left with "I killed my daughter" which doesn't tell anything.
I would think it's"I killed my daughter because I can't accept that she will bring shame to my family by not marrying the guy I chose for her, choosing the education I chose for her etc".
In case of husbands/boyfriends I would assume it's a "I killed my wife/gf because she left after she discovered that I'm cheating"
Also that, but I think it's more normalized and common for men in Japan.
In the west it's close to 50/50
The 2020 % is different and I posted it a while ago.

@RikaDerufu @mischievoustomato @Jens_Rasmussen
But you complained about this one too. It was your original thesis, and you told me to learn the meaning of per capita, when I said, that this ratio looked ok to me.

I am seriously trying to get to what your thesis actually is.
