Jim, sorry, but you completely miss the point.
1) You are mislead to believe that Debito is about the only one out there trying to change it for us because you can’t read Japanese. That is very Kawaiso.
2)Even after I offered the help, you or Debito refused to change it for us, especially for the readers on Debito org who complained of Hellow gaijin san. That’s telling.
3) Debito’s blog does more harm than good, especially for people who can’t read Japanese . because it is based on ignorance, lies, exaggerations, hatred, the blocking of critical and even helpful comments as Debito wishes. I think I’ve shown sufficient enough examples here and on Mike’s blog, but if you want more, I’d be glad to help you.
I welcome constructive criticisms on my blog, I’ll invite all of Debito followers and others to my blog.

I’ve come here via Today’s post on Debito org.
Since Debito block a comment as he wishes, I’ll write here.
As for the main topic, I think level 3 sums up nicely.
“Today’s rant (about his feelings on Mike Guest) surely gets into the Top 5 of Absolutely Nothing to Do With Human Rights in Japan. Its length (compared to legitimate semi-infomational posts about discrimination) is telling. It shows what debito really cares about, what really motivates him to do research and even investigate someone and use an audio recorder, just like a real journalist. Do I even have to spell out his true motivation? Didn’t think so.
Proving what this website is all about.”

“Why are there so many foreigners living in Japan who want it to stay that way? Are these people masochists or something?”

i just find the whole thing ridiculous..
if these people dont like your methods -fine..why dont they do things in a different way to improve
foreigners rights? but thats obviously too much hassle for them,so what do they do?
set up a separate website just to rubbish you, and this guy writes this pathetic
Why do they keep covering up the fact that there are non-Japanese and Japanese who work to improve situations for us. I often cites the links on my blog that are helpful for foreigners living in Japan.
The point is when a foreigners is really in trouble, s/he is least likely to ask Debito for help but ask someone else.
It is kawaiso for foreigners who can’t read Japanese are misled to believe that “Debito is about the only one out there trying to change it for us.” by blocking critical and even helpful comments by Debito.
This is one of reasons I object to his blog, which lead me to another point.
Adam(#11) does not seem to understand the problem.
The problem is not that Debito’s blog is helpful, if you don’t like his tactics, all you have to do is to set up another website.
Debito tactics is not just inefficient but misleading, fear-mongering and hate-mongering.
To illustrate, let’s take Tacit blue, a young ardent supporter of Debito who has never come to Japan, who has no knowledge of Japanese.
He says;
.”…..I got it in my head to move to Japan….. Though I’ve never lived in Japan and thus cannot speak about it, I feel it would be good to inject that society with a little sympathy. It feels like the “gaijin” are fighting a tough battle for rights without the domestic reinforcements they sorely desire, all because “it doesn’t affect me”.

And finally
“Heck, never mind Japan, I’m emigrating to Canada.”

Now I don’t give shit whether someone go to Japan or not,
But note his blog has an effect of a young guy like him wanting to inject Japan with a little sympathy and finally deciding not not come to Japan.
Readership should ask why he has dehumanized notion of Japan and the Japanese people to such an extent that he finally decided not to come to Japan though reading Debito org.
Of course, only masochists would come to Japan and stay here because according to the posts Debito promoted, Japan condones the murder of foreigners by its own citizens, and there are plenty of “reasons” not to visit Japan.

I wonder why the lies, exaggerations, hatred, and the blocking of critical, even helpful comments will help the foreigners in Japan.
Again I can’t help but conclude that his blog is fueling fear and hatred against Japan and the Japanese.
And I appreciate the warnings from Tepido org. so that young kids won’t be misled.
And I welcome the comments on my blog from the supporters of Debito.
