Japan: Tokyo Ward Deputy Mayor Forced to Resign for Calling Fat Woman a Pig


The one in the center is the pig. Keep in mind that by Jap standards, she’s actually more a whale than a pig.

Slowly, slowly, slowly, all of this stuff is seeping into Japan.

The Japanese are aware of it. But they are hardcore pedophiles, because of all those cartoons they watched, so they don’t have the courage to do anything to try to stop it.

Japan Times:

The deputy mayor of Tokyo’s Shibuya Ward resigned on Tuesday after facing criticism for mocking a female local assembly member, referring to her as “pig” in an online workplace chat.

Shin Sawada, 63, issued a statement apologizing to Yukiko Kuwazuru, a 35-year-old rookie ward assembly member, for his “inappropriate” posts that “severely damaged” the municipality’s reputation.

Shibuya Ward is known for promoting gender equality and diversity, becoming one of the first local governments in Japan to issue certificates recognizing same-sex partnerships as being equivalent to marriage.

According to the municipality, the chat in question was joined by about 120 people, including senior ward officials.

In June and July, Sawada posted messages about Kuwazuru, who belongs to the Democratic Party for the People, calling her “Kuwa-buta.” “Buta” means pig in Japanese. He also described an assembly committee to which Kuwazuru belongs as a “group of idiots.”

Kuwazuru told a news conference in Tokyo on Monday that she was emotionally hurt and “struggling.” She also said Sawada exposed in the chat the address of her residence, that had not been made public.

The incident was brought to light by an anonymous whistleblower who claimed to be an official of Shibuya Ward.

The easy solution would be for the woman to stop being fat, which would have been the traditional Japanese solution.

After all, mockery is generally used for the purpose of causing someone to change their behavior, for the betterment of society and truly for the betterment of the individual who is being targeted by the mockery.

Is this woman happy being a fat pig? 

Wouldn’t it be better for her if her shame let her to change her behavior?
