JanPoké Saito’s “bullying confession” lacked the “empathy” perspective．．． Victims of bullying also suffered from negative rumors that their “personalities were distorted．”
The Metropolitan Police Department has referred documents to prosecutors regarding former Jungle Pocket member Shinji Saito (41) on suspicion of non-consensual sexual intercourse and non-consensual indecent assault for allegedly engaging in sexual acts with a woman in her 20s on a location bus, sending unexpected repercussions for victims of bullying. Saito’s story about being bullied in the Yomiuri Shimbun series “Stop Suicide #For You Who Are Tired” dated July 3, 2020, caused a stir, and she has since been in charge of a series of advice sessions for readers struggling with bullying and other issues. In June 2010, he gave a lecture at a school in Shizuoka City, where he continued to send out messages as a representative of bullying victims. In the interview, he talked about the bullying he suffered at the time, saying that he was stabbed in the back with a carving knife for “not serving me my lunch” and “having bad posture,” and was subjected to verbal abuse such as “Go die” and “You’re not worth living.” He also revealed that his homeroom teacher told him, “Maybe some of this is to blame, Saito.” Many parents and children have said that Saito’s confession about being bullied saved them, and the number of people supporting Saito has suddenly increased, but as a result of this sexual assault incident, negative prejudice against bullying victims, such as “I think that people who have been bullied definitely end up with distorted personalities,” is starting to appear on the Internet. For victims of bullying, this will be nothing but damage to their reputation. ■Saito has continued to strongly advocate that “the one being bullied will never forget for the rest of their lives” “I have always felt a little uneasy about the content of Saito’s confession about bullying. This is because the stories were mostly accusations from the victim’s perspective, such as “This is what they did to me,” rather than a discussion of “What can we do to put an end to bullying?” Of course, many children were encouraged by Saito’s example of overcoming bullying and becoming a successful comedian, but unless we can empathize with both the bullies and the victims, we will not be able to move on to a proper discussion to eliminate bullying. In that sense, I felt that there was a risk that Saito’s confession of bullying would be seen as a way to satisfy her need for recognition, since she has become a successful celebrity and is now in a position to take revenge on her bullies.” (Support for Bullying Victims) To the bullies, “The bullied will never forget. Saito has continued to strongly state in interviews and lectures that she will “hate the people who bullied her for the rest of her life,” but now, due to her own sexual assault, she is on the receiving end of this being said, which has only served to amplify the negative prejudice against victims of bullying in society.

It’s possible that he was bullied because he had this kind of personality to begin with, so I don’t think being bullied causes a person’s personality to become distorted.
Osaka Naomi, a pure and natural Japanese woman, started getting too cocky and got bashed by the public, and then suddenly she threatened people by pretending to be depressed and saying, “I’m depressed, do you have a problem with that?” I wonder if Saito is doing something similar this time.
If they take on the responsibility of representing bullying victims, I think it would be bad if they caused a scandal afterwards. This would be secondary damage to other honest ordinary victims of bullying.
A plain girl from my elementary and middle school class started getting bullied and treated like dirt all of a sudden, and by the time she graduated from middle school her personality had become pretty warped. In the graduation album, she was the only one to write “Don’t mess with me, you idiot.”
What on earth was this? Saito Shinji: “If there are people who are hurting others, I want them to stop. The person may forget in an instant, but the person being bullied will never forget. I’ve hated it for the rest of my life. I would be very happy if they regret what they did, and decide to change themselves and live their lives without hurting others.”
Looking at Saito’s mistakes, I can understand “Maybe Saito-kun has a problem with being bullied too?” But I’ve had the experience of being thrown into a workplace full of popular people, being bullied, and when I reported it to my boss, I was told it was my fault for not having communication skills.
Regardless of Saito’s case, most violent crimes are the result of domestic violence or a history of bullying. Well, that’s only a small minority, so don’t be prejudiced. Rather than blaming the people who were bullied, it’s better to say that it’s the scum who bully them that are creating violent criminals.
To be fair, even if someone is being bullied, the content only comes with retaliation and there is no perspective on why they were bullied. In reality, there are factors that caused the bullied person to do it, and unless these are clearly revealed, we will end up just consuming retaliation content to make us feel better. Furthermore, it only proves that if the positions are switched, the bullied person can become the bully themselves.
>>30 The bully has been releasing stress by bullying people they don’t like so much that nothing will be distorted So they have the mental space to think that it’s about time to calm down.
If you were severely bullied as a child, it’s likely that you’ll develop a warped personality and become servile. It would be scary if you remained smiling and good-natured forever.
Humans can remain normal by forgetting about unpleasant things that happen to them. People who can’t forget are warped, so they should be careful in the future not to cause harm. Maybe the situation has led them to think it is okay to commit crimes.
Yoshimoto Kogyo, which is full of sex offenders, should have its talents banned from the entertainment industry. They have shown no remorse since the Matsumoto incident.
