Question from Readers:
Why is only Watanabe Nagisa being said to have been forced? When I think about it, it feels a bit unnatural.
Reflecting on Watanabe Nagisa’s Situation
Recently, there has been a lot of talk about Watanabe Nagisa being forced, but considering the circumstances behind it, it feels somewhat unnatural, doesn’t it? Especially when I think that others might
be in similar situations, it’s a bit unsettling.
Dynamics Between Men and Women
In the comments, there was a discussion about the difference between “2 men: 2 women” and “1 man: 1 woman,” and I think this is a really important point. Behavior can change dramatically depending on whether there are others watching or not. In a closed space with just two people, the likelihood of something forceful happening increases. I remember a time when I was out drinking with friends, and things almost took a strange turn due to the influence of alcohol. In those moments, it’s really helpful to have someone who can say, “Wait a minute!” In Watanabe’s case, perhaps that support wasn’t available.
The Backstage of Drinking Parties
Additionally, comments provided detailed accounts of drinking parties with Nakai, which helps shed light on the situation at the time. I find it particularly interesting how the drinking parties in hotels were conducted, especially the fact that staff were on standby. Having people around definitely gives a sense of security. The style of drinking parties has changed due to the impact of COVID-19, and we are now in an era where people are particularly cautious. Recently, when I went out for drinks with a friend after a long time, I felt a bit nervous yet enjoyed the time. I ended up eating too much and thought, “I can’t take anymore!” (laughs).
What We Can Do
I believe that Watanabe’s situation highlights the need for us to discuss these issues more openly. It’s especially important to share information on how young people can handle such situations when they arise. I hope we can foster a culture of mutual support. Finally, if anyone has interesting stories or even unpleasant experiences related to drinking parties or relationships, please share them in the comments! Let’s think about it together.
