Understanding Masahiro Nakai’s Controversial Claims: Why Do Supporters Believe Him?

Question from a reader:
Why do people believe Masahiro Nakai’s claims? Although Nakai asserts that “this is not sexual violence,” I cannot understand why a third-party committee would provide false reports. If someone in that position were to lie, it would damage the credibility of the lawyers involved and affect their work. Additionally, if there were any issues with the report,
Nakai’s side could quickly point them out, which would put the committee in a difficult position. Is there really a reason to deliberately lie? Conversely, I believe Nakai’s side thinks that now that the third-party committee has been disbanded and confidentiality is in place, they can present arguments that are favorable to them. To me, Nakai’s claims seem more about “protecting his position” than “the truth.” How do you all feel about this situation?

About Masahiro Nakai’s Claims and Their Background

Recent news about Masahiro Nakai has certainly stirred controversy. While he claims, “this is not sexual violence,” there is a contradiction in that the third-party committee’s report contains unfavorable information about him. Considering this raises a mix of emotions.

The Psychology of Believers

One reason people believe Nakai is likely due to his fan base. Fans tend to have a strong desire to believe in their favorite person, which makes them readily accept his words. However, if we think calmly about it, we cannot deny the possibility that he may be making statements to protect his position. Behind Nakai’s assertion of “not committing sexual violence,” there may be an intention to avoid claims for damages from networks like Fuji TV. After all, to protect his position, some form of rebuttal is necessary. But if his claims are true, why would the third-party committee need to lie? That remains a question.

Public Reaction and Its Impact

Not just Nakai’s fans, but the general public also has varied opinions. Among those defending him, some assert, “the committee’s report is a lie,” but whether that is truly correct is uncertain. Ultimately, both sides’ claims deserve to be heard, but it is frustrating that emotions often overshadow the situation. From a legal perspective, I find it difficult to deny the content of the report outright. The report should contain evidence based on factual circumstances. Therefore, while I understand Nakai’s need to defend his position, whether that defense is justified is another matter.

My Thoughts and the Future

This issue extends beyond the behavior of a single celebrity; it impacts society as a whole. Particularly, issues related to sexual violence are sensitive topics that require careful handling. How we interpret Nakai’s claims and the third-party committee’s report is left to individual judgment, but I feel it is important to maintain a calm perspective. This issue will continue to attract attention, and we must discern information carefully. What do you think? Please share your experiences or opinions on such matters in the comments.
