I don't know, I'll let this post up. Maybe I'll delete it. I don't want to cause drama, but some things needs to be brought up.

Spread this to any Japanese person or any person in general, someone like this, with their talks of "It is only natural to cut off the heads of those who are disrespectful." will eventually kill someone, a tourist, immigrant, a Jew, or just anyone he sees as ruining Japan. Someone needs to track his account and find him. I know reporting isn't enough, and antagonizing him may draw him further in his beliefs, but something has to happen to him, otherwise some ISIS type shit might happen.

@Jalex5
Yeah that's what worry me alot.
I actually read some Wikipedia pages and articles about the far-right in Japan. It seems japanese nationalists and conspiracists hold a lot more grudge against their neighbors, than German nationalists for example.

They're still a minority i think. Their ideas are unpopular, but still as dangerous.

I just hope he will calm down. It seems he's just your average neckbeard guy, but I don't know.

i gave it a full read and while I cant do anything about this I found it interesting (not in the getting involved way just that people would fall for it)

@IRaimu
Yeah i agree, their thought pattern is interesting.

The Japanese far-right is somewhat different from the West (they're more open about it, some groups are even funded by gangs, etc...), but their ideas are the same : fighting to give their country back the "greatness" it supposedly had back then, framing complex stuff like crime and immigration as proof that their country "is dying/falling/whatever", and giving this sentiment of great injustice that would push the general majority to support/vote for far-right parties/groups.

People who generally think that they're being abandoned, and wish to be greater, are old people who are out of touch with today's issues and are easily impressed by what they see in the news, and young people who are socially "outcasts", having difficulty fitting in society. The fact that these people already have difficulties with society, and that people will generally (rightfully) disapprove and avoid them and their ideas, will only reinforce their conspiracy theories.

I tend to see these things very practical. The only real question to me is how you want to treat this:
Do you want to take that drivel serious?
I know a thing or two about Japan - but I have no idea how they treat cases of "might be a domestic terrorist in the making." You could write a friendly email to their 'Counter International Terrorism Division' (国際テロリズム対策課) or a similar bureau. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Police_Agency_(Japan) )

Do you want to treat them like the idiot kid they probably are?
Then write a PM directly to Tom Fulp. Present the account name, links, and this News Post.
They will probably be "delivered" from "having to hang out" with all of us 'filthy westerners' before the week is over.

And now for a somewhat lighter note: A big CONGRATS! to @Osaka for even having their own expo! I knew you could do it! ;3

@Yatsufusa
I think I'll write a PM to Tom, but not for now. I need to write and show the proof and stuff, but it's getting late too.

It seem like he's just like the american 4chan neo-nazis wannabe, which are generally harmless as they never leave their room anyway.

Even so, I'm still a bit hesitant.
Writing that he will fight when truth will come out of the 5th dimension or whatever, and that "It is only natural to cut off the heads of those who are disrespectful", I don't know if something was lost in translation or if he meant these stuff metaphorically. He also write stuff directly referencing these Far-Right black vans with loudspeakers.

In any way, i will report this guy to Fulp tomorrow. This guy is still a fascist, misguided or not.

Japan and its people will be fine. Whoever this is, you should’ve tagged them to perhaps further deter them from specific platforms, as a way to make the situation fully transparent for the sake of raising awareness as to who this is exactly to more people on Newgrounds.

Either way, enjoy this rabbit video -

@Osaka
Oh I know, people are generally kind, this is what I wrote to him too. But sadly he wouldn't listen to either me or other people.

I will send a PM to Fulp shortly, explaining all the stuff he wrote in general and me. i think I'll post it on my newsposts too, so people know who they are dealing too.

His art gallery is surprisingly normal. No conspiracy bullshit. I guess he sadly fell down the conspiracy pipeline.

Also, doorbell cat:

@Yatsufusa
@Osaka

I sent a PM to Fulp, with the proof and stuff.

@Osaka @SouSTAR Just to address "His art gallery is surprisingly normal." for a hot second: This might not be common knowledge, but I have seen accounts getting deleted over things they did off-site.

Nobody can claim "Oh, but I didn't do it 'here'." when they have links to stuff that would be against _the_law_ in the US plastered all over their Newgrounds-presence.

(The rating for this News Post is "M", but if 'you, dear reader' are squeamish, do not read further.)
It 'might not surprise you' that I talk to other users who flag and report a lot of stuff. I'll keep the names of the accounts involved anonymous, because that's just an insane rabbit-hole and free advertisement for a very dubious person; and the person who found the perp found them over AI generated content they had uploaded. Other content of theirs "looked normal".
So my "reporter friend" (That sounds nice, doesn't it... ;) ) looked into that artists other accounts they linked to... It was two accounts with 99% "lolita art" of "varying severity"! That account had been around for years, apparently and it a "K" after their number of fans... But one report was all it took to get said account incinerated within the hour! This ain't YouTube or Twitch...

I do NOT want to start or condone Witch Hunts* for every NSFW-account that draws women with small breasts or where characters in sexy poses don't look old enough to inspire a MILF/DILF-fetish - but the drawings in question (of which I only saw the heads) were depicting not 'women', or 'teens', or even 'young teens'. You can fill in the blanks yourself.

@Yatsufusa
I just looked into some of his drawings, and I saw that he made a birthday gift to Fulp in 2023... I don't even know what to think.

Looking at his twitter, in 2023, he used to only tweet normal stuff about drawings and video games.

He wrote at some point that he "don't fit with the japanese" :

"Thoughts on the A-bomb:The situation in Ukraine, Barbie, and the fact that politicians in Japan are on the verge of supporting nuclear weapons has many Japanese people confused. I don't fit in with the Japanese, so I look at it from a distance... but I find it difficult"

That what i wrote in my comment to IRaimu. He doesn't fit, as he said.

I feel bad for him. And because he wanted to read more things in english, i think he encountered american alt-right stuff which are plaguing twitter as we know. Then the algorithm just did its job.

Honestly I would understand if he will stay on the art portal and stuff.

This guy is being brainwashed by people like Fuhisa, the racist blue haired "internet personality", and by these piece of shit fascists with their fucking loudspeaker trucks.

I feel very bad for him. I'm beginning to feel guilty about saying all this stuff about him, but it's true. He's believing in fascist ideas and conspiracies about jews and everyone else.

Fuck...

@SouSTAR This is a tangent and I should probably not say this, but I recently became acutely aware of how your life can get cut short in a split-second. So I'd like to share the following:

Several years ago, out of personal interest, I researched nuclear weapons (the "Atomic Bomb") - in depth! The physics, the philosophy, the aftermath, the 'warfare-aspects', the history, the "Nth Country Experiment", ...and the politics...
After a while I was able to 'see' why the people in power said "Okay, then lets build 10 more." - despite knowing what lies at the end of that train of thought. Me being capable of "being understanding of that mindset" scared me to my core.

I can 'see' how Japanese politicians would say "let's build 'the bomb' as well" and I cannot even blame them.

But I am also 'seeing' something else, that is much more important: This _problem_ (and it is a genuine, global problem) can only be solved if the current people in charge _collectively_ pull their heads out of their asses and work _together_ towards demilitarization. We cannot stuff the djinn back into the bottle; but we _can_ reduce the number of magic lamps - which would also come with more effective security and a _huge_ financial relief...
"How big of a relief are we talking about?" Well... 'Would you like to feed the world?'

@SouSTAR On the actual topic: "I feel bad for them." never deters people, though. They claim others are "haters" and act as if nothing was amiss with their behavior.
The only way for him and those like him to actually see that this is not even close to being socially acceptable is to _not_ be tolerant of intolerance.

'Being tolerant of intolerance' is one of my definitions of insanity/insane behavior. (Apply that statement to the darkest chapter in German history and you'll see what I mean quite easily.)

@Yatsufusa
Yeah i understand...
It's sad, but he put himself in this situation. It's not as if people never told him anything. I'm 100% he got warned by his family/neighbors/coworkers too about his thoughts.
But they just want to find a culprit for their uneasiness, even sometimes for stuff that are not that bad or literally inexistent.

I wonder how Fulp will react, I saw Fulp followed him back then. Seeing a normal guy falling in the alt right pipeline just like that, it's sad, but at the end of the day, the only one who could really help him is himself.

@SouSTAR You took the words out of my mouth there. :)
I was literally about to write "The only person who can really help him is himself."

This feels great. This is the 'Newgrounds-Singularity' for me. I am no longer needed. I will now leave this mortal plane and SouSTAR can take over for me. :3

I actually have a somewhat dangerous appointment in a few minutes. If I don't come back, then 'capital-F Fate' has decided and you 'have' to take over my newgroundly duties, SouSTAR.
Have fun and may Bast be with you! ᓚᘏᗢ

@Yatsufusa @SouSTAR While most of it was off-site, she did link a site specifically designed for that kind of art in her bio (one that was taken down for a while for obvious reasons), and she had sexually explicit stories involving minors in her news posts. A lot of stories. I was honestly surprised that she lasted that long on NG (she was a refugee from the tumblr purge).
