Japan is so wild, having leaders accept responsibility for their failures
Its just a different culture.
i mean they killed 80 fucking people
Rookie numbers by American standards. And where’s the immediate search for an uninvolved scapegoat?
Stepping down isn’t much of a punishment, they get to remove themselves from the aftermath.
Why can’t I kill 80 people and say sorry guys I’m stepping down, have fun!
Good job proving you didn’t read the article.
I just stopped at that paragraph, I’m just so used to the western world and their ability to not take responsibility for anything
They’d mostly do the same here, outside of a handful of particularly horrible Musks. Sorry, people*
Taking responsibility, cool. But isn’t it also kind of fucking off and letting someone else clean the mass?
He’s staying on in an executive roll in order to handle the fallout and compensation, actually.
Thanks for the info!
I mean, that’s not the
usual JapaneseSamurai way to accept responsibility for killing people. 🗡️Edit: sjw
Just like how Americans usually resolve their disputes by a duel at 10 paces?
Even in jest, your comment is a very negative stereotype to perpetuate. As someone who has been on the receiving end of those types of comments/jokes, I think it would be good to be a bit more considerate of others who are affected by that kind of stereotyping.

We’ve updated the rules but we really are still out here shooting each other.
Not to undermine your message, which is a good one.
Yeah, it’s more a dual at however many paces it takes to whip out your sidearm and start shooting.
Receiving end of what jokes? I’m not joking. Dude killed people. Honor. What exactly is the negative stereotype you think I’m talking about?
Oh piss off you know what you meant
Tell me.
Could you explain your previous comment for me, then?
In Japanese culture, the act of taking responsibility for a horrible action by killing oneself is called “seppuku” (切腹), also known as “hara-kiri.” This ritualistic form of suicide was historically practiced by samurai to restore honor for themselves or their families.
So just so we’re on the same page, that is the “usual” way that Japanese people today accept responsibility for their actions? Or specifically the Japanese samurai in question who own this particular firm?
Remind me again how you’ve been on the receiving end of someone asking you to take responsibility for killing 80 people as the responsible party of a large company? Help me understand how this is about you. Further defend this man.
No no, I would still like to know what makes harakiri the “usual Japanese way” in this context.
I’m pretty sure the Japanese way to take responsibility for killing people is to not.
A government not taking responsibility for their actions? Show me a country who hasn’t done that
Please elaborate.
CEO’s get all the benifits and 0 repurcussions for their decisions. 80 people died and now I get to remove myself the situation at hand?
That is some grade A BULLSHIT
read the last paragraph, they are resigning as president but still staying to clean up
