I loved the picture of the couple leaning away from each other; I think I was supposed to see that as an indicator of the purported epidemic.
I think what the article was, however, was an advertisement for the former dominatrix. Apparently you can pay her to talk to you about women, pay her more to get naked while she talks about women, and maybe if you play your cards right...
- jpatokal 13y agoGenerously assuming your comment is merely clueless instead of intentionally offensive, that sort of subtlety would hardly be necessary, as finding commercial sex in Tokyo is trivial. Most larger train station have red-light districts in the immediate vicinity, with (Japanese-only) signage making it extremely clear what's available.
- ceautery 13y agoI have no interest in what's available in Tokyo, only in how Abigail got that mess of an article taken seriously. You have bold claims regarding my understanding and intent to offend. Elaborate.
- dthunt 13y agoI have literally been propositioned on the street between Shibuya and Ikejiri. Places I would not have expected it. I can't speak to signage, as I generally steer clear of areas that seem shady, and I wouldn't put a lot of trust into such things anyway. Regarding the source of much of the information in this article, I have little to offer. If you were to weigh the hypothesis that the source was advertising services against the hypothesis that this came up in conversation with the article author and she found this worth noting, which do you think is more likely, given that this is interesting information that is unlikely to be left out of a sex-charged article? In this case, being charitable about the parties involved in this article is probably correct.
