    Remind me again how you’ve been on the receiving end of someone asking you to take responsibility for killing 80 people as the responsible party of a large company? Help me understand how this is about you. Further defend this man.

      No no, I would still like to know what makes harakiri the “usual Japanese way” in this context.

        You’re right, it was a joke. It’s not the “usual way,” and my comment has been edited. Now answer my question, How does any of this apply to you? Or did you just want to get offended argue online because somebody once told you to “kys” in Fortnite, and that is obviously the same thing as being responsible for 80 deaths

          How does any of this apply to you?

          You ever have a bad day as a teenager, and then you go to eat lunch in a high school cafeteria, but when you’re grabbing plastic utensils someone makes a comment like “Woah better hide the knives from Stovetop before he cuts his stomach open”?

          It ain’t great, is all I can say. Especially when you’re not even Japanese, because everyone apparently just lumps all Asians together in a monoethnic mass.

          Say whatever about corporate assholes who fuck up and get people killed. Like if you want them to die, fine. But racial stereotyping hurts everyone, whether it be jokingly or pointedly.
