its not low tolerance their justice system is completely flawed and susceptible to corruption. Once you're accused of something there's zero chance you'll be found innocent, and they often force people to confess some shyt they never even did.
Thats what I mean, if it even smells like a crime, good luck!

Watch Yakuza and The Family on netflix. Powerful crime drama that shows how the Feds and society just threw them in the bushes.
Unfortunately this is basically what they want you to think.

Once the connections to the Yakuza get too brazen to ignore, these companies are very publicly dissolved......and then others pop up right where they left off with the same budget (no budget) and market. Right after PRIDE was done you had DREAM take it's place. And after Dream you got Rizin. Both organizations headed up by the same exact guy who ran Pride.

Do you think he keeps finding new backers with deep pockets?

Nah they just come up with new names and llcs to rinse the money through and get back to work. Professional wrestling organizations are much of the same.

MMA in Japan is a money laundering scheme. Don't for a second think it was clean money that was able to afford to book Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition with no international audience.

:francis: Not surprising if you watch anime (regardless of the genre) one of the strongest themes is justice. They don’t play over there

Yes. Not surprising because the Japanese law system is very different from the U.S. law system.

It’s not about being innocent until proven guilty. It’s about allowing someone enough rope to hang themselves and then going to pick them up when they commit the crime. And coercing them into a confession.

Culturally, here’s what happens.
First off, there’s very little concept of privacy in Japan. Everybody is ALWAYS in your business. Even if they may act like they aren’t out of politeness (which is rare).
So when you do something outta pocket, nearly 8000 people will come to tell you about it to discourage you. From the little old lady at the grocery store to your boss, parents, random firefighter, old guys playing Go. Even the most seemingly random stranger you meet, will turn into a potential agent if they see you on the path of fukkery that could impact others.
On some Matrix type shyt. Everybody is an agent.

Self-harm is fine and a private affair. But when your fukkery leaves your own personal sphere, that’s when the agents activate and start to intervene.

So you’ll have a swarm trying to discourage you from bad behavior and also tracking your behavior from the 1st to the last fukk up until BAM!, you reach the point of no return and by then…aint no need to prove anything b:c they were trying to talk you down all along. And by that time it’s a wrap. Aint nobody gotta prove shyt.

But also sentencing is light and remorseful confessions can impact sentencing a lot so there’s that. There are some other factors but culturally, unless you are Yakuza affiliated, snitching culture makes it hard to get away.
