Hana Kimura killed herself over mean words, so Japan bans the mean words.
So much for the nips copying the US Constitution to keep themselves free.
Of course, this is going to happen in America soon enough.
Japan’s parliament approved penalizing criminal defamation by up to one year in prison after the suicide of a young reality television star prompted a national debate over cyberbullying.
The country decided to strengthen its defamation law after Hana Kimura took her own life at just 22-years-old in 2020.
Kimura, a professional wrestler, was subject to a daily barrage of insults on social media after she appeared on the massively popular Japanese reality show “Terrace House,” which follows three men and three women temporarily living together at a shared house in Tokyo.
She received hateful messages after her performance was criticized in one of the episodes. Just before her suicide in May 2020, she tweeted about the hundreds of vile messages a day that hurt her.
Ultimately, two people were convicted of defaming Kimura, but were only fined 9,000 yen — or $66. The low fine, comparable to a New York City alternate side parking ticket, sparked outrage who felt the punishment was far too lenient.
Her death triggered a spirited debate over anonymous bullying and the extent of freedom of speech protections in Japan.
Opponents to the change argued the law would impact free speech and thwart criticism of those in power. Supporters said tougher legislation was necessary to crack down on cyberbullying and online harassment.
The charge to change the law was led by Kimura’s mother, Kyoko, who is also a famous professional wrestler. Parliamentary debates on the law have been taking place since January.

The amended law adds a prison term of one year —with an option of forced labor — and creases fines to up to 300,000 yen ($2,220) to convicted violators. It will go into effect later this summer.
Currently, the law only holds a punishment of short-term detention and fines of less than 10,000 yen ($74).
Due to the controversy, the law only passed after it was agreed to be reviewed by outside experts every three years.
Japanese criminal attorney Seiho Cho warned that the legislation is unclear as to what constitutes an insult.
Nips are filled with the spirit of a woman, because they are all pedophiles who do nothing but masturbate to cartoons.
They are an overwhelming threat to the world, which is why China should nuke them – preemptively.
100% of pedophilia in the West is the result of Japanese cartoons.
