  In Japan, the harrasment is seen by some as foreign interference in national affairs

  So it's not okay for "foreigners" to meddle in Japanese affairs, but it is okay for Japan to meddle in foreign affairs?

  “Over the years I’ve gotten several complaints about inappropriate material during these videos, never to me personally but, gutlessly, through other channels.”

  Oh no ...
