Question from a reader:
What do you think about the Instagram of the girl rumored to be a victim in Nakai-san’s incident being targeted by his fans? It’s concerning that none of the magazines or TV shows have reported her real name, yet fans are making assumptions and posting terrible defamation on her Instagram. I’ve seen strange excuses like, “If she
isn’t the person, she should say so,” but I believe that harassing anyone on social media is wrong.
Thoughts on Nakai-san and the Incident
Recently, Nakai-san’s incident has become a hot topic. I’ve been following the news, and it truly pains me to see how the Instagram of the girl rumored to be a victim is being attacked. Social media can be incredibly convenient, but it also has a terrifying side. I feel that the anonymous environment allows people to easily post aggressive comments, which only exacerbates such incidents.
On Fan Behavior
It’s truly baffling that Nakai-san’s fans would jump to conclusions and defame someone without even knowing their real name. The reasoning of “If she isn’t the person, she should say so” seems somewhat absurd. Regardless of who says what, harassing others on social media is wrong, and hurting innocent people is absolutely unacceptable. I remember when I was younger, I was deeply engaged in online interactions, so while I admire the mental strength of today’s youth, I also worry that it can backfire at times. I hope that such experiences don’t turn into trauma for them when they reach middle age.
Reflections on Internet Usage
I often feel that the quality of the internet has declined since smartphones became widespread. The rise of social media has enabled anyone to easily express their opinions, but unfortunately, it has also led to an increase in defamation and bullying, which is regrettable. As someone who enjoyed the internet on computers back in the day, I am astonished by this change. Personally, I know there are features to report comments, but I question how effective they really are. Defamation on social media platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), where individuals can be identified, is something that should never be tolerated. No matter the reason, there is never a justification for attacking others.
Conclusion and Call to Action
Ultimately, what I feel through these incidents is that there are people who tend to look away from reality. The true nature of Nakai-san’s incident and the defamation directed at the victim could be prime examples of this. We all need to act more responsibly when using social media. What do you think about the way social media is used and the recent trends on the internet? I would love to hear any interesting stories or experiences you’d like to share!
