Writer culture is that feeling of full-body exaltation that you get when you finally get to write the scene that you planned out five months and 40,000 words earlier.

TO MOVE TO ARGENTINA SAY A MEMBER OF ZONA LA PLATA SENT YOU THIS INFO TO BECOME A REFUGEE
Heey, this is sweet, but you don’t need to become a refugee to live legally in Argentina if you’re Brazilian! It’s the easiest country to move to for Brazilians and the whole process to obtain a DNI (the Argentinian national identity) takes 90 days and you get a 2 year visa, which you can later turn into a permanent residency visa without much trouble. It’s very affordable, we don’t even need to translate the documents thanks to a bilateral agreement and you don’t have to prove you have a job lined up for you or anything. Unless Brazil leaves the Mercosur, there’s no need to go so far as to ask for refuge if you choose Argentina as your destination.
thank you so much for your addition! reblog this please
if you plan to do this, id suggest you do it as quickly as possible, because its been said bolsonaro wants to leave mercosur
I hadn’t seen any English reports on this but its too good not to share.
So right now there are pretty crazy right-wing nationalist sexists in Japan. They’re dressing up in WWII military outfits, they’re standing outside of Korean schools (in Japan) shouting that Koreans should be killed, and just generally being horrible human beings. For reasons unknown, the Japanese police haven’t done anything to stop them, and when people get physical with the right-wingers and a fight breaks out, it’s not the right-wing people who get punished.
Enter: the Yakuza.
Yakuza, for those who don’t know, is the name for the world of Japanese gangs, commonly known for being covered in tattoos. A few retired yakuza members (most of whom are notoriously and vocally conservative) got tired of this extreme right wing BS. They believe that picking on people who are weaker than you, like the children at the Korean schools or refugees, is embarrassing, and not something to be proud of. They want these right wingers to man up (the group is almost entirely men) and shut up.
These old retired yakuzas start showing up at the right wing protests and intimidate the hell out of these guys. When they feel like it, they’ll use physical force too. The police don’t mess with the yakuza so these right wing protesters become human punching bags. All their talk of killing Koreans or their superiority to just about everyone flies out the window when these gangsters roll up.
It started with only one or two yakuza who were bored and fed up, but more and more started to come. They started training in boxing and street fighting, and wouldn’t you know it…the number of right wing protesters got less and less.
Then, people of other walks of life joined in too. With the yakuza throwing the police off, professors could join by writing about the issues profusely. Suddenly a ton of otakus joined too, using their art and community to protest. They’d show up in droves and stand behind the muscle (yakuza) and make a ton of noise. They literally staged an “otakus against racists” rally.
Slowly, the protests have seen the right wing attendance drop more and more and I am living for these “manly men” being trashed by retired gangsters and fans of Love Live.
In conclusion:
First, I’d like the extreme right wing to gtfo
Second, I’d like a manga, then an anime, about these yakuza who befriended professors and otakus to fight neo-nazis. K? cool.
watch as certain types of manga start being extremely hostile to yakuza and otaku types, and yes i am absolutely thinking of SNK and its ilk
Love the ネオナチくだばれ (NEO NAZIS DROP DEAD) sign
Wow the Japanese mafia is anti Nazi? That’s weird that’s almost like never the case. That’s badass tho.
a lot of Yakuza have Korean ancestry which probably has something to do with this
Not to be that guy but there’s no sources apart from a Wikipedia article on the far right group, I can’t find anything about this incident and the yakuza aren’t good people. Look in the notes for more in-depth analyses of this post.
Though I’m still not sure on this point, op claims the yakuza mentioned left because of the practices undertaken by the organisation. Unfortunately I don’t speak Korean so I can’t speak to the legitimacy of anything here but I decided to post it to at least get OP’s point of view across.
I had a friend’s friend working in a restaurant owned and operated by Yakuza. The Don’t Prey The Weak mentality was strong there. It was forbidden to harass women, by customers or workers. In women’s toilet there was a handwritten sign saying that if someone was threatening the female customer, she should go to the counter and ask Masa, one of the Yakuzas, to help her and he’d deal with it. They protected their hired non-Yakuza employees outside the work, too. The Yakuza members had a habit of giving some of their own salary to my friend’s friend as “The boss doesn’t pay you enough. You gotta eat, girl.”
When Fukushima incident happened, Yakuza was first to donate a huge amount of money to Red Cross.
Yakuza generally operate by the old Samurai code, where the honor and respect are important. Mess with them and they will mess with you. Be messed up by someone or something you can’t defend yourself against to, and thus affect whole Japan’s honor negatively, and I can promise you Yakuza will be there to help.
“I want you to come” could bring a lot of pressure to the person you’re trying to invite. They might come to the event even if they really don’t want to, just so they don’t disappoint you.
“You can come if you want” gives them a chance to decline if they want to, without feeling guilty.
the resolution can be:
“If you’re available, I’d love for you to come.”
“If you’re free, I’d be happy to have you there.”
Don’t waste your love on somebody, who doesn’t value it.
