another example of american male degeneracy.

this guy, johnny somali and his friend has been going to high-trust societies as this yter says, like japan, israel and s korea, and harassing women, harassing random people and disrespecting the culture. hes been attacked, and also arrested in both japan and israel. but what he did in s korea is way worse so tw.

he found statues of what are called "comfort women" and groped them, poured baby oil on then and got naked and danced on them. hes also made memes of them for his equally degenerate viewers.

thankfully s korean internet is way more brutal and they hunted him sport. he also did a lot more stuff like harassing a female streamer by using ai, and using drugs which the police found in his system (drug use is heavily penalized in countries like s korea and japan.) the streamer is suing him and hes banned from leaving s korea and is facing prison time as of 5 days or so ago. this is the level of his degeneracy.

so, death to all men, Idc if you are like "western men are less misogynistic." if you think that then get this guy and his friend back.

Good news, Johnny Somali is likely going to face up to a 10 year jail sentence and South Korea and is currently not allowed to leave

You may have heard the news recently of a certain public nuisance streamer who’s been making rounds (again unfortunately) for being a disrespectful piece of shit in a foreign country.

This “wonderful” human being has done this shit previously in both Japan by making nuclear jokes and Israel/Palastine for being just an overall scumbag.

He’s fucking awful for this shit he’s done and makes the rest of us Americans look bad for this (We fucking hate this dirtbag just as much as you guys and I’m sorry you have to put of with this awful human being).

Hoping and praying that the Korean Justice System comes down hard on this moron because this shit is unacceptable and he needs to stop getting away with this crap. Remember when you visit another country, you are a guest and are expected to abide by the law. Do not act like this clown as yes, it does reflect in the eyes of locals on how Americans/etc… are like.

In an extremely online age, insulting foreign governments is a superhighway to fame and notoriety. Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban have already proved handy tools for such provocateurs. Those autocrats’ skin, though, seems positively rhino-like compared with what may be coming our way from China. Planned new legislation will make it illegal to offend “the Chinese national spirit” or hurt “the feelings of the Chinese people.” The proposed legislation is a recipe for diplomatic disputes with the West—especially in a social media culture where provocation has become a course for fame.

2023 has already been the year of the foreign policy-focused provocateur, who has gone straight for the ego of overseas leaders. At the beginning of the year, Sweden—where nothing less than accession to NATO is at stake—turned out to be a perfect staging ground for Danish agitator Rasmus Paludan, who realized he could get massive attention by burning a Quran just as Erdogan was weighing how to view the Swedish NATO application.

The same set of circumstances also made Sweden a perfect staging ground for pro-Kurdish activists, whose protests—including hanging an effigy of Erdogan in front of Stockholm City Hall—got vastly more attention than pro-Kurdish protests can ordinarily hope to get. Iraqi refugee Salwan Momika, an unknown until earlier this year, has become an international household name and generated TikTok income by burning Qurans in Stockholm—thus harming Sweden’s NATO application and its relations with Muslim countries.

Swedish opposition politicians, meanwhile, have used Orban in demagoguery, comparing Sweden’s peaceful prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, to the Hungarian strongman. This has so angered the Hungarian government that it threatens to derail Sweden’s NATO accession even more. And in Japan, an American named Ramsey Khalid Ismael, aka Johnny Somali, has made trespassing and being arrested a performance for social media.

Enter Chinese President Xi Jinping. In late August, China’s rubber-stamp parliament discussed draft amendments to the Public Security Administration Law, which would ban behavior, clothing, and speech that offend the Chinese people or government. Offenders risk a fine of 5,000 yuan (about $685) or up to 15 days in prison—but the proposed amendments don’t specify offensive actions, words, or clothing. That’s much like China’s recently amended espionage law, which covers all “documents, data, materials, and items related to national security and interests” but doesn’t define national security and interests.

The move wasn’t directed at foreigners; instead, it seems to have been a reaction to a series of nationalist temper tantrums online about people wearing traditional Japanese clothes and other perceived offenses. Its sloppiness prompted immediate pushback on the Chinese internet, with even nationalists and conservatives condemning the law. That doesn’t mean it won’t eventually pass—under Xi, China has added more layers of legal constraint every year. ���The CCP [Chinese Communist Party] can always decide on its own what you can do and not do—they don’t need a law for it,” noted Oscar Almén, a China analyst at the Swedish Defence Research Agency. “With this planned legislation, there’s the expectation that authorities should be proactive.” And Alicia Hennig, a China specialist and interim professor at the Technical University of Dresden, told me that “if the proposed changes to China’s public security law are enacted into law, they will also affect the foreign communities still in China, including expatriates, students, and even foreign visitors.” She added: “A fine of 5,000 RMB or up to 15 days’ imprisonment for a statement or action is not trivial. But what actually constitutes this crime is far from well defined. It is essentially another catch-all phrase that allows the government to punish people arbitrarily.”

While working as an academic in China several years ago, Hennig conducted interviews with expats and found that “people were already very cautious, turning off their phones altogether even when topics were not highly critical. What happens when cameras, ubiquitous in major Chinese cities, listen in even when phones are switched off? What happens when students have a more critical conversation in one of Shanghai’s bars? Or when a foreign tourist snaps at a waitress? These changes will only increase the feeling of being constantly watched—of being part of the CCP’s panopticum.”

Enter Western provocateurs and adventurers. If you have the mindset of a Rasmus Paludan, you’re willing to cause harm simply to gain fame or notoriety. And you can gain even more fame by taking your stunts to a dangerous realm, all in the safe knowledge that your home country will move mountains to rescue you if you get into trouble. China’s planned legislative amendment, in fact, creates a new and tantalizing opportunity for thrill-seekers to expose themselves to a bit of geopolitically infused harm without having to be very creative.

All you need to do is walk the streets of, say, Beijing wearing clothing the police deem offensive. Why would anyone expose themselves to such risk? you may ask. Just remember Miles Routledge, the 22-year-old Briton who traveled to Afghanistan “on vacation” during the evacuation two years ago and secured a prized spot on an evacuation flight, broadcasting it all on social media. He then returned this year and was captured by the Taliban, leaving U.K. diplomats with another case to try to resolve. Or consider the unfortunate case of Otto Warmbier, who in December 2015 traveled to North Korea, where he was arrested after allegedly stealing a propaganda poster. The U.S. government made extraordinary efforts to get him back—and succeeded, only to discover upon receiving the student that he was close to death. And this week, two months after sprinting into the country, U.S. Army Pvt. Travis King was released by North Korea—the result of massive diplomatic efforts involving not just the United States but Sweden and China as well.

Today, such prospects matter in China, too, because in the past few years China and its fellow great power Russia have joined countries, such as Iran and North Korea, that are not embarrassed to use Western citizens for geopolitical purposes. Iran has seized not just a host of dual nationals on espionage charges but also some foreigners, including Swedish European Union official Johan Floderus, who went to Iran as a tourist last spring and is approaching 530 days in captivity. The two Michaels, Canadian citizens detained by China when Canada arrested Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. arrest warrant; the basketball player Brittney Griner; and the reporter Evan Gershkovich are hardly the only Westerners seized by Russia or China on flimsy charges. Western citizens, for their part, are so accustomed to globe-spanning travel that many eagerly keep turning up in increasingly hostile or dangerous countries. And today, doing so means they risk creating foreign-policy dilemmas for their home countries.

Of course, Chinese law has always provided any excuse to arrest people, from hazy charges of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” to jumped-up claims of espionage. But the new atmosphere creates even greater potential for a feedback loop between potential provocateurs, angry home audiences, and authorities looking to build their own nationalist credentials. Combine that with the post-COVID resumption of air travel to China and the opportunity to gain fame and social media revenues through ill-considered stunts and you could see why provocateurs may soon be booking flights to Beijing or Shanghai.

In addition to thrill-seekers, there are, of course, also ordinary Westerners who may have no intention of hurting “the feelings of the Chinese people” and will definitely not wear any Winnie the Pooh merch. Even they, though, could discover they’ve committed an offense only when they’re charged with it. The proposed legislation is certain to create never-ending foreign-policy headaches for Western countries, which adds to the dilemmas created by China’s amended espionage legislation.

Given such developments, it’s good news that Western tourism to China has slumped in recent years: In the first quarter of 2023, 52,000 people visited China on overseas trips organized by travel agencies, down from 3.7 million during the first quarter of 2019. But under the proposed legislation, every one of them—and every Westerner who otherwise visits China or lives there—is at risk of arrest. With China often making extraterritorial use of its laws, the offense amendment could even be used against visitors who have committed allegedly offensive acts while abroad. And, Almén noted, for the same reason it would put Chinese citizens living abroad in even greater peril, as China applies its laws to them regardless of their whereabouts. And their home governments are already overstretched trying to find an equilibrium with Russia and China and a modus operandi with Saudi Arabia and other rising powers, creating better relations with India, helping their companies to friendshore, and assisting Ukraine, not to mention tackling climate change.

COVID-19 already struck a blow to the freedom to travel, and the growing dangers of speaking freely—or provocatively—in many parts of the world may do more damage. The U.S. government already advises citizens to “reconsider” travel to China, but large European countries issue no such specific instructions, and no Western countries ban citizens from traveling to the country. North Korea is in the U.S. State Department’s Do Not Travel category. Such strong warnings may become inevitable for China. “We can’t always rely on our embassies to support us,” Hennig said. “I have learned from personal experience that the consulate of my home country was unable to help me when I had problems with my employer, a Chinese university. Another thing I have learned is that when you’re in China, it is better to keep your mouth shut. Today, however, it seems increasingly necessary to understand our own personal risks before traveling to China, whether as an expat, a student, or a tourist.” Ordinary Westerners’ reluctance to spend time in China under such circumstances may not be bad news for Beijing, Almén told me. “This is just the latest law making it more difficult for foreigners to go to China and interact with people. Considering such a law demonstrates how insecure the regime feels. And limiting Westerners’ interaction with Chinese citizens may also be what the Chinese government wants,” he said.

To be sure, China remains a crucial trading partner, and those involved in business or other essential work there should clearly be able to enter the country and expect consular support in emergencies. Those wishing to visit the country for less essential reasons, though, should have to sign a waiver declaring they’re aware of the dangers and won’t expect consular support. Today, geopolitics is so sensitive that there’s no place in it for pranksters, not even accidental ones.

Week 3 - Connecting Practice With Society

With the rise of influencers and social media stars also gave way to a new brand of social issues altogether. The particular issue? The rise of streamers encouraging entitled and inconsiderate behaviour.

To raise awareness to this issue, me and my group mates decided to base our documentary on the issue to bring more awareness to the situation

Understandably it begs the question. How is this specific issue worth discussion? The answer to the question is simple. The current generation tends to be caught up in such trends, seeing social media as a fast track to fame and wealth. Especially children who find themselves easily influenced by those they idolise. 

One such example would have to be the British streamer Mizzy. In 2023, Mizzy rose to internet infamy with his ‘pranks’ which included committing acts of blatant trespass by entering restricted areas or homes and even theft of other people’s pets. Causing mass distress amongst the community.

And not just Mizzy, as recent as this year. Another streamer made headlines as of late by the name of Johnny Somali. Similar to Mizzy, Johnny would randomly harass and in general act as a public nuisance to the local populace.

These issues are concerning, especially when taking into account how easily impressionable adolescent brains are as a result of a development of their cognitive abilities as well as limited life experiences.

In conclusion, one should be wary as to how they make use of social media, as such a powerful tool is not only easily accessible by anyone, but will also, inevitably be used to influence communities throughout the globe.

Johnny Somali is lying to break free of being jailed 10 years in a South Korean prison. He signaled he learned his lesson by apologizing in Japan. Jail the fucking bastard.

[limmenglee]

Recently, Japan has imposed some changes that made it seem that Japan is NOT TOURIST FRIENDLY anymore! I have mentioned about Johnny Somali, the crazy tiktoker who goes RAMPAGE in Japan, hurling INSULT against Japanese and shouted HIROSHIMA and NAGASAKI with the REMINDER that AMERICA DID IT and Johnny Somali had THREATENED that AMERICA WILL DO IT AGAIN!

That PISSES of the Japanese community and FORCED him to KNEEL AND APOLOGISE but HE TOOK IT LIGHTLY and continue his RAMPAGE there. UNTIL some Japanese people decided to FOLLOW Johnny Somali 24/7 until he COWARD OUT and LEFT Japan and FLEE to THAILAND!

On top of that another FOREIGNER who talked about Johnny Somali's incident had also made claim that he had a brush with Japanese LAW for FORGING Shinkansen Rail Pass and was arrested and confronted by their LEGAL system. WHAT FUCK ARE YOU STUPID? Shinkansen has the MOST ADVANCED RAIL SYSTEM and you think they can't afford IC CARD?

Shinkansen even has the BEST technology with their early warning system during earthquake and the Tohoku earthquake showed its prowess and you think you can SCAM them with a FAKE rail pass?

The WORST CASE is the CHINA MAN TIKTOKER who made a FUCKING IDIOT out of himself CREATING A BIG SCENE against a Japanese restaurant that paste a NOTICE saying CHINA MAN are NOT WELCOME! He called in the police and even informed the China consulate, told his viewers to go to that restaurant and CREATE CHAOS there.

The restaurant suspended its business for few days, and later reopened with a ANTI CCP slogan supporting HONG KONG PRO INDEPENDENCE and reminding the CCP brutality on Tiananmen incident. This was because the restaurant owner taken the advise of netizens.

This ASSHOLE Tiktoker who garnered internet support by asking netizens in his community to go to the restaurant to protest is NOW in desperation, removed all his Tiktok video against the restaurant because IF other Chinese citizens where to find out these antiCCP slogans, his account will be permanently BAN!

The problem with SUPERIORITY COMPLEX! I've always considered people with SUPERIORITY COMPLEX SHOULD BE CHEMICALLY CASTRATED TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE SOCIETY! THEY SHALL NOT HAVE ANY RIGHTS TO PROCREATE AND THEY SHOULD BE TERMINATED PREMATURELY!

Johnny Somali is the case where people can create HATE CRIMES because of ONE FUCKING IDIOT! The China TikToker is NO BETTER THAN Johnny Somali and teaching people how to SCAM is NOT A LESSER EVIL, IT IS JUST AS EVIL, NO LESS, NO BETTER!

Kick-Streamer Johnny Somali wegen Belästigung in Japan angegriffen Johnny Somali ist ein umstrittener Kick-Streamer, der für seine beleidigenden Bemerkungen gegenüber Einheimischen in Japan bekannt ist. Der kontroverse Kick-Streamer Johnny Somali, der für seine Belästigung einheimischer Menschen in Japan bekannt ist, wurde erneut in einem Livestream konfrontiert, und diesmal wurde die Sache…

[fizzingwizard]

and now, as if that weren't enough, I just heard about this Johnny Somali guy... may I say 🤮

I have decided not to google him. I don't want to give him any more hits. The best surprise in the world would be to find out that he's vanished from the internet or was a hoax or something. But in sum, story is he went to Japan and filmed himself harassing people on a train about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Once again... 🤮🤮🤮

But it got me thinking. One of the major issues we face in modern society is consumerism run amok. While it's nothing new for companies to try to sell products based on marketability rather than how beneficial they are, more and more it seems to me that quality and vision are two things which have been flung completely out the window. There isn't pride in craftsmanship, there isn't innovation, there's just dollars to rake in by latching on to whatever's on trend at the moment and being ready to switch the minute something else becomes more profitable.

Some say the only way to stop that would be to tighten regulations. Others say the onus is on the consumer - because the companies won't make things that don't sell.

It's a chicken and egg sort of problem. The things the companies sell are addictive for a reason. Trying to round up enough people who can resist (or have the means to resist - since oftentimes these products may be all that's accessible to certain groups of people) enough to make a dent in company profits is really difficult. Next to impossible, I'd say, without some sort of bogeyman "if you buy this you'll get cancer!" kind of shtick. That's why I usually feel that there should be higher expectations of quality and responsibility from companies. Too many consumers are at the mercy of what's being sold nearby and in their price range to really have free choice.

But with influencers and social media stars, it's a different story. They're self-employed. Or they're their own small company. The only way they're regulated is by whatever rules their platform of choice has, and those only matter when they're actually enforced. They sell emotional satisfaction and shock value in ways which can seem harmless because, after all, you just watched a 6 second video! It was hardly any time at all, you laughed, and moved on with your life. But those millions of people's 6 seconds of time adds up to quite the lucrative operation for social media stars. It's fine when they really are benign, but as we all know, some people will be as rude, inflammatory, and inconsiderate as they want to make a viral video. And it WILL go viral BECAUSE it's rude, or stupid, or shocking.

And then that person reaps in the reward. They get rich off other people's pain and humiliation.

Meanwhile, people whose work actually DOES make a positive impact on the world - as well as those whose work simply keeps our society moving smoothly enough for these social media stars to have something to make a video about - well, let's just so they aren't so rich.

You may say "oh, what a bleeding heart, wah wah cry more." But now let's ask what would happen if all those people ditched their jobs and decided to be cringey social media stars who scream racist shit in foreign countries to make money. Because obviously, the point of life is to get rich, and the way to get rich is to not give a damn about anyone but your own damn self. Hmm. Does societal collapse sound fun to you??

But that's the behavior we reward. Positive, community-minded behavior is punished for not generating cash. Appreciated by some, yes, and considered essential during a pandemic *cough*, but punished all the same.

The only way to make people like Johnny Somali and his ilk stop is to stop giving them views, stop giving them hits, stop funding them. Don't watch them.

But we all know this. And we also all know that people are still gonna click, because again, "it's only 6 seconds!" It's just never going to feel like those 6 seconds have the impact that they do. Even if the video gets taken down, my understanding is that any money made before the removal is kept by the creator - which, considering it probably had to go viral before getting enough notice to be removed from the platform, is probably a lot.

We're at the mercy of these social media terrorists.

blacktober should be not about racebending japanese characters and then alling japanese people anti black and yammering on about how they already have rep (the only time black people go after the japanese too mind you, EVER), but making new black characters or celebrating the pre esxisting ones, redesining offensive characters to be not offensive, and drawing beautiful art of black hair and African, Caribbean, and Creole things. THAT'S CELEBRATION OF BLACKNESS, not STEALING FROM ASIANS, especially not the JAPANESE WHO WERE INTERNED AND STILL DEAL WITH WEIRDOS WHO DEFEND THE NUKES AN STUPID INFLUENCERS BEING RACIST OR CULTURALLY INSENSITIVE LIKE LOGAN PAUL AND JOHNNY SOMALI (Johnny is a prime example of a Japanophobic black person. "Hiroshima Nagasaki Fukushima". Even Koreans he hates as shown with his "Korean War you know what we did to you". A KOREAN MAN had to call him out, and even though Japan targeted Korea this same Korean instead of bootlicking Truman like so many other Asians do, recognied H and N people were victims not "fascists" (black people hate Koreans as much or maybe more than the Japanese)

Blacktober just was used as a "try to make white people mad, but race changing japanese characters"-tober

I mean... Ugghhhh..!

Race-swapping isn’t a bad thing in fanart. It’s not, a lot of the times it can be cool. 

But just like the obnoxious trend of ‘lol, I made this popular character trans to draw smut of them; share to make a transphobe mad~’, when people do the thing, not for actual interest, but to ‘make some hypothetical adversary mad, you’re being annoying. 

And you get things to the point that people start looking at all art of that nature as being annoying.
