    Taking responsibility, cool. But isn’t it also kind of fucking off and letting someone else clean the mass?

    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

    I mean, that’s not the usual Japanese Samurai way to accept responsibility for killing people. 🗡️

      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?

            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.

        A government not taking responsibility for their actions? Show me a country who hasn’t done that
