  2. Japan has a robust legal system protecting workers rights. Japanese are easily taken advantage of on certain circumstances, largely through guilt.

  3. They're spiders luring in naive tourists. If you're in Tokyo and a cute Japanese girl is trying to get you to go to a specific bar/club because it's "a lot of fun" then she's a spider and you're the fly.

  4. This is similar to hosts as well—you cannot replace the money most if not all of the time, regrettably. You’re stuck there because it’s easier to join than it is to leave. There is also tons of harassment from others, how competitive it is, and how DRAINING it is.

  5. Its obvious that the ‘comfort girls’ of the Japanese fascist regime were simply legitimatised in Us occupied Asia. Same issues in A Korea and Taiwan. Luckily, US will be chased out of Asia in the next decade. Bastards

  6. It's very true, Many don't know the full scope of their work when they sign also. And on top of that, many of these women get funnelled into producing porn eventually, which is even more exploitative and ruthless. The Japanese adult industry is incredibly cruel to the women involved. It need a serious legal reform.

  7. You can help her. There is one jav actress, aino kishi, she retired and become very high class prostitute. But one millionare from taiwan "bought" her freedom for 900k usd at 2023. She now live with him at hongkong
