Topic	Japanese perspective of Logan Paul: They don't seem to care that much.

And, while parts of it sound really wrong, iirc mental health issues may carry a greater stigma in Japan. Also worth noting that, while by no means the highest suicide rate in the world (that "honor" supposedly belongs to Lithuania), Japan has a problematic relationship with suicide. To be clear: Japan has a higher suicide rate because when police will find dead people who appear to have killed themselves, they don't actually do all that much checking to see if it's a murder case (just if it's a very simple murder). That way they can claim that they have such a low murder rate, a high murder-capture rate, and totally not piss off the Yakuza (which the deaths/suicides can likely be involved with it). Police can be awful anywhere. That in itself seems like a dreadful stereotype. What's the basis for the claim? --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:893730166] in Japanese p...
