Under the current Japanese criminal law, if you injure another personās body, you are guilty of injury. It is a crime even if there was no intent to harm (negligent homicide). This āinjureā is used in a broad sense. Injury has been found by the courts to be inflicting mental breakdown by making harassing phone calls and infecting a person with a sexually transmitted disease.
By the way, humans live by recognizing and choosing options. Undermining this recognition of options is not a crime under the current law. One person A could originally feel that there are options X and Y, but when person B says, āOf course it should be X, Y is impossible,ā the perception of the options is undermined. This is also not good.
Especially when older people say such things to younger people, and the naive young people believe them. Then, when search is supposed to be conducted by the younger generation, they act according to the values of the older generation, and search is not conducted.
Specific Examples of Assault on Choice
- Whatās the point of a woman going to college?ā
- āGet into a big, stable company, not a venture.ā
- Certain financial ādonāt do anything risky like buying stocks, save your money.ā
