The Wakayama Prefectural Police revealed on May 8, 2024 that Your Name. movie producer Koichiro Itou has been referred to prosecutors for additional violation of Child Prostitution & Pornography law in Japan, after it came to light that he had paid an underage girl for sexual intercourse.

The latest case involved a 17-year-old high school girl from Yokohama. Investigators believe Itou knew the girl was a minor when he paid her 30,000 yen for having sexual intercourse at his residence in December 2023.

He is also suspected of taking and saving photographs of the act.

    Do you think that makes it better just because the payoff was cheap? Or that the low monetary value degrades the victims such that you shouldn’t care? Either way, I’d argue that makes it all the more fucking disgusting and horrible.

    If your whole argument is, “oh, but he got a bargain deal on all the corruption and prostitution!” Then you belong in jail right next to this scumbag.

        If you don’t understand how someone misinterpreted what you said, start with what you said.

        Because maybe you were unclear.

          Okay. I said “I don’t understand how you misinterpreted that comment”. It seems everyone else understood what OP meant (OP is not me by the way) except for you. Instead of admitting your mistake, you’re doubling down on your arrogance, and now you’re attacking me because, once again, you’re confused.

          Maybe you should think before you comment.

      What the fuck are you even on about. You just invented that argument and attributed it to otp, just to argue against it and be mad.
