By this person you don’t mean me do you plunge? Because i have never even been to your site O.o;

I read both sites – and to me it just looks like a kind of clumsy form of zenra( 全裸 )or pre -zenra.

“Sharking (or “panty pulling”) involves running up to a random girl, lifting up her skirt, and pulling her panties down past her knees.”..Sharking(?)does this imply that the remora’s are also involved. If so-how?? (Any clues out there??.Happy slapping to you all!!)

“I report on the same thing, except that I get castigated for reporting it and he doesn’t….hmmm…”

Maybe that’s because JP simply reports it, while you use it as a basis to support your regular anti-Japanese screed. Example:

JP – Korean Man Stubs Toe in Shinjuku, Requires Amputation

Plunge – Japanese Still Dismembering Koreans, as Usual

The reader already knows what you have to say, while JP sometimes surprises us.

I still doubt that this is particularly common. If some guys with a video camera are doing this to unsuspecting women, it won’t be for long.

And WaiWai’s reporting is always suspect. I find it very hard to believe that a writer specializing in underground porn vids would refer so easily to the people he specializes in as “perverts” who are “apparently” turned on by something. Wai Wai, on the other hand, routinely labels their subjects as perverts, lest we start to suspect that WaiWai is, god-forbid, being lurid.

I complained to one of the translator/writers for WaiWai about an article where they are graciously welcomed into a private club, and and repay their hosts, who are harming nobody, by calling them perverts in the title. He returned my e-mail saying that the headline writers inserted that on their own.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the anonymous (red flag alert there) writer was misquoted, or simply doesn’t exist.

I like to write up things like this because they are funny and interesting, and highlight strange things that people do. The setting for these stories here is always Japan, because this is a Japan blog.

There are plenty of other stories that I run across each day that I don’t write up, because they involve other countries. A recent story I really wanted to do was one I would have titled, Who says no blood for oil? But since there was no Japan angle, I didn’t.

As far as the the suggestion that the Japanese possess some kind of unique inbred predilection for fetishistic behavior, think again.

Ampontan, why? You don’t think there are bloggers like that out there? I think it describes some of those that blog about Japan perfectly, and it is the only term I can use since I was censured for using Japnophile. If the term doesn’t describe you, it shouldn’t bother you.

Now who’s hijacked a perfectly harmless and humour filled debate about panty-pullers/Sharkerz ??? Any clues???

That article is bull. ガセネタですよ。ほんとうにこんなことを素人の女性たちがされたら、今頃ニュースになって警察も動いてますって。

So Fluffy,what is it? Amateurs?(your term)or a clever conspiracy involving the local police.The reason I ask is because you led me way off-centre on the Yasukuni issue.

Fluffy,
I earlier made this point:- “I read both sites – and to me it just looks like a kind of clumsy form of zenra( 全裸 )or pre -zenra”
So, as both know, Zenra/AV stars..whatever..it’s all basically about money.The only reservation I had was that you were directly implying that the the police were also “on the payroll” (so to speak)- that’s a pretty strong accusation -or is that “common knowledge as well.I’m always willing to learn.-Have a nice weekend/Catch you Monday!!

Matt of Occidentalism, quit spinning. If you’re gonna say what Plunge said, say EVERYTHING he said and what EVERYONE had said to him rather than make select references and quotes, you deceptive spinner. After all, you use your own site to present Koreans in the worst light possible even if it means spreading lies or writing about a FEW bad apples in Korea. Plus, you ARE a pervert yourself, Matt, based on your postings of 9 year-old girls.

Yeah, there are stereotypes of countries everywhere, some false, some true. Australia is stereotyped to be land of the beer-drinking but cheerful former convicts. Canada is stereotyped as having liberal people saying “eh?” Korea is known for having (sometimes overly) emotional people and (sometimes overly) spicy food. Japan is known for being a rich industrial country…..with too much disturbing fascination with underage schoolgirls and kinky sex practices.

Perhaps some of these stereotypes are right, some wrong. But these perceptions do exist. As for the moral decay in Japan, I have had Japanese living here in America say to me (I swear it was their words) that the Japanese are the biggest perverts and sex maniacs around. I knew they were kind of saying it tongue-in-cheek, but one guy in particular did seem kind of proud of his conquests….in America. More power to him.

It’s been done in Europe too. Personally I find American women so up themselves that I love to see it happen to them. The technique clearly needs practice though, and the Japanese seem to have the lead in this field.

Regarding the morality of it, I think it’s OK so long as brute force isn’t used. The womans panties should be down around her ankles before she knows whats happened, and the ‘Shark’ should be running for the hills before a fightbreaks out.
