Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

In Japan, we have to be careful because a company could sue for reputational damage (even if the claims are 100% true and provable). Same for some other examples like posting a pic of someone with his mistress or basically anything with their face.
Wow I see the Shogunate is still alive and well. Sounds like it's still feudalism over there.. And all the kids love Japan and want to live there.. Propaganda is a hell of a drug!
Perhaps it's bad to judge an entire country on a single, fairly minor shitty law.
A fairly minor and shitty law that influences all public speech about other people
Not all, but definitely some, yes. And no, I don't agree with it or like it.
Yeah, Japanese the press also is pretty beholden to government whims as well.
I think that combines another issue here (or two, one being cultural rather than legal, but that's a whole other can o' worms). Papers will report on certain things, but I don't know where the line in. Some tabloids will report all kinds of shit and eat the cost of any judgement if it happens.
I would not call anything about a law designed solely to prosecute whistleblowers "fairly minor"
That's not actually what it's designed to do and whistle-blowing has a process that isn't "run directly to the press".
