Question from a reader:
Regarding Masahiro Nakai, I am surprised to see that even now there are people who continue to defame the victims in reports related to Fuji TV. If my daughter were to experience a similar situation, would those people continue to defame her in the same way?
Thoughts on Masahiro Nakai and Defamation
Recently, I’ve been astonished to
see that there are still individuals who defame the victims in relation to Masahiro Nakai. It raises complex feelings to think about whether those same people would continue their defamation if their own daughter were to face a similar situation.
My Perspective
As a father, I constantly think about the kind of education I want to provide for my child. Of course, I believe Nakai is at fault in this incident, and I have no intention of defending him. However, I think the way people perceive such incidents is influenced by their parenting philosophies. For example, I have a friend whose parents raised him with the belief that “you should never trust anyone.” If his daughter were to get into trouble, he might think, “I can’t believe my daughter could be a victim.” For parents like him, it might become natural to blame the victim.
Past Experiences and Lessons
I believe it is crucial to teach children about the dangers of the internet. There have been many cases recently where individuals have become involved in incidents after meeting someone online. I always tell my child, “Never meet someone you don’t know,” because I am aware of these incidents. If my child were to find themselves in that situation, I might end up saying, “It’s your fault.” Of course, it’s clear that the other party is at fault, but I can’t help but think, “You also need to consider your actions in meeting them.” Nonetheless, Nakai’s case is a different matter; being caught in such a situation is incredibly sad. From a fan’s perspective, I can understand the blind support, but I also believe it’s important to think calmly about these matters.
Conclusion
When I talk with my friends, I find it fascinating how many different values and opinions there are. Contemplating what one would do if their child were to become a victim is likely something only those with children can truly understand. What do you all think? If your child were to experience something similar, how would you feel? Please share your thoughts and experiences in the comments!
