With this kind of AI produced ‘news’ it shows how the quality of journalism has declined in recent years. Even the image of ‘Yu’ is computer generated.
CNN you don’t need to exist anymore if this what you have become.
Are we actually meant to feel sorry for her? She was “coerced” into sex work by her addiction to the red light district. The single mother of two was so busy chasing after some paid-dick that she neglected her kids, spent all her money and savings, and went $165,000 into debt..
If anything it’s a privilege to be able to settle a $165,000 debt by sucking some dick.
Host addiction is a real thing, and it’s getting a significant amount of attention lately. There was recently a case where a woman romance scammed multiple men, using the money on her favorite host at a club. There’s actually a joke among netizens about sex workers who “have a host.”
I think the solution to this is simple. No tabs at host clubs. If she runs out of money, she runs out of money. Yes, some women will turn to sex work to make money, but they won’t be forced into exploitative sex work by clubs anymore.
This is only tangentially related, but there was a scandal a while back with a Japanese actor/idol type guy who would have sex with a woman he met, take pictures of her, and then blackmail her into sex work for money. Romance scams are unfortunately common in Japan because a lot of people are very lonely.
Hidden menus & prices, hosts meeting clients outside of the club, all targeted at lonely and vulnerable women. It’s the same playbook hostess clubs use, and it’s gross no matter the target. The main difference is shady host clubs can extort sex work when the debts pile up.
Years ago a documentary called The Great Happiness Space followed a few hosts. It was a well done documentary. Definitely worth a watch but it will make you feel like shit after.
All too common scam and story these days. Especially among the Tachinbo and Toyoko kids…. but adults as well.
I mean look it’s horrendous that she saw sex work as the only option to try to get out of debt. But to say that she was forced is a long ass stretch It even says it was the only way- then proceeds to say she was coerced.
Maybe she shouldn’t have gotten 165k in debt. 🤷♀️ She’s obviously not stable as shown by what she did. It’s become the norm now to let people off the hook for their stupid choices, and she made loads of them.
To be clear – nobody should be forced/trafficked obviously (this is Reddit so make sure I’m clear on that) but to say these women (and men) who are 100% idiots for falling in love with someone like a host and spend their life savings/take on more debt are victims and should be blameless is ridiculous.
> But now she would have to repay him – with sex work the only way to raise the cash.
>Yu is one of hundreds of women coerced to sell their bodies
But for everyone saying it’s not her fault She followed his socials for years .. creepy to begin with but unhinged to say the least
> eager to meet the charming young host she’d been following for years online.
She then proceeded to spend thousand on booze like a lunatic.. > dropping thousands of dollars on heavily marked-up alcohol.
Tale as old as time, this happens quite often does it not?
