Episode 11. Cyberbullying in Japan

Cyberbullying case is on the rise. In Japan, it has led a 22-year-old young start to take her own life. Hana Kimura had a promising future ahead of her as a pro wrestler. Her appearance in the Japanese reality TV show "Terrace House" showed her as a passionate and empathetic woman who knew what she wanted. After a series of insults flooded her social media, Hana Kimura's mental health started to deteriorate.  Jun Maeda, the writer of CLANNAD, is the recent target of these attacks. The comments were so harsh that he decided to deactivate his Twitter account. A healthy choice, I must say. The online comment sections can be very toxic.  Follow me on my instagram: @introvertjapanpod #cyberbullying #podcast #society #culture #japan #日本 #hanakimura #rememberhana
