Kiryu is my bae

Happy 100th birthday David Attenborough, you absolute bloody legend 💖💖💖💖💖

stop buying into the idea that nonviolent activism is useless, rather than (by far) the most effective form of protest

stop falsely claiming that BLM accomplished nothing and that most citizens “don’t care” when people are murdered by the state

start understanding that most of your neighbors care about your rights, and their own

The proof is a photograph showing Kagawa grinning as he grabs her hair. […] Newly obtained images reveal Kagawa, having grabbed the former mama's hair, burying his face in the nape of her neck and sniffing. Furthermore, when she turned to reprimand him, he wore a sullen expression and proceeded to stick his fingers under her armpit to sniff that scent. (Daily Shincho 2022-12-27)

Teruyuki Kagawa, the current face and voice of Goh Hamazaki, SAed two women that night, not one. “Mirei” (pseudonym) and the club’s former mama. The mama is actually the woman in the photos. This is the story behind them. Note that unlike with Mirei, Kagawa (via his agency) outright refused to apologize to the mama and discredited her story as a “distortion of logic” and “past the statute of limitations.” I don’t want to hear another word about he “apologized” and “changed” and “deserves redemption.”

I have hesitated to share images and descriptions so as to not retraumatize survivors like myself, but I think it is extremely important to have the details so they can't be dismissed, bearing in mind what he did to Mirei was even worse.

RGG made Kagawa, the actor, a front and center part of their promotional material for K3's announcement stream. They talked about his skill during controlled question times on stage, had him record a message to the fans, recorded behind the scenes with him, etc etc. If they thought it suitable to emphasize him as a selling point of their product, then obviously it's going to be a deciding factor if one wants to buy that product at all. I won't be till something gets sorted out, not at full price anyway.
