[@mocneeuq]

I heard Some Japanese police are worst too especially to female reporting cases like this.

[@kpopshiz3709]

police ain't gonna do shit, one reason why crime rate is low is because a lot of incidents don't get recorded in the system.

[@xandocommando]

japan is a sexist society, and people overlook sexual harassment since it happens so often

[@Virjunior01]

skraeling287 partially, but in other ways, totally balanced. their problem is that their public expectation is to be TOO polite, and very passive. you don't even say "no." you say "that's very difficult" (meaning no), and the recipient is expected to fold no matter what (to be polite and not trouble the other, even if that person is supposed to be providing a service, and may be completely in the wrong, or just acting lazy as fuck).

[@lunampuera7161]

oh my gosh. :( You did not deserve that treatment from the man or from your employer. Breaks my heart.

[@megjane7]

Lunam Puera Me too

[@Virjunior01]

Dopa44 true, but that's not the point here. the only part of this story that leads anywhere positive is learning assertiveness and self-defense. guaranteed, if that guy (no matter how old or "senile") ran across a black cashier chick with a couple of tattoos and a slightly overbearing personality, he'd be like "nah." self-preservation is strong in damn near all people. if you're quiet, meek, averting gaze, etc, you are a prime target for victimization.

[@Qopa]

you could've at least type on google on law site, explaining why a certain type of sexual harassment is not a crime but an offense, while a crime would have something to do with physical touch. You dont just dictates that sexual harassment is a crime when you know nothing about the law. In some country like France and China, the penalty for sexual harassment, the minor ones, are treated as a much bigger offense than anywhere else in the world. And that's true, she could've not been weak when interacting with the perverted old dude, she should be threatening him that she will call the police and such. And i mean there's a guide line on how to deal with sexual harassment in work place too. If this was such a big deal for her, she should've try to find a way to deal with it herself, not hating, but i feel like she had been alittle bit too spoiled before entering in a workplace.

[@Qopa]

The society, especially in work place, taught us to be self independent on your role, you're not supposed to act like your entire company or acquaintances like a family member. And i never said she was spoilt in the work place, she was spoilt before so she's not used to fix problem that she alone faces.

[@ythsh]

I'm a guy and i was groped in the ass when i was in high school. at that moment i was like WTF but i didn't want to cause a scene so i didn't do anything about it. i know what it feels like to be a victim of groping in public, not even funny.

[@Ucuz_]

Enoch H sounds like a nightmare

[@FBI_Not]

probably your bro

[@Josh-jh6no]

Rafal Omnom imagine getting groped by big dude named bob

[@WrestlerMonkey123]

It is funny once you realize NOTHING IN YOUR LIFE HAS CHANGED. I have also been groped, it did not affect me at all. Someone got a good feel, and I went home and lived my life. I did not catch an STD, I was not harmed, literally nothing happened to me other than I may have made someone else's day.

[@craig291086]

Enoch H I have been grouped a couple of times. I actually don't mind it due to my personality and I find it quite funny. However, once a guy grasped my ass. And I mean his fingers were basically in the biscuit factory. I came close to blows with that guy. Worse for girls as it comes with an added feeling of fear and helplessness.

[@jazzyhk1809]

ugh, I feel so strongly about this. They tell you that it's your responsibility to protect yourself, but will they let you? If you do protect yourself and speak up, they'll most likely stand on the customer's side if he makes a big fuss about it. That would be a terrible experience to have to go through. Second of all, it's the business' legal responsibility to provide a safe work place for their employees. Them telling you it's your responsibility to protect yourself is just wrong on so many levels. They can't expect a worker to do that when they're under the pressure of possibly being fired from their job just for protecting themselves. And how is it okay to let someone get away with a crime just because he's old? He should at least be given warnings instead of just being allowed to roam wild and do whatever he pleases JUST because he has the old age card. Also, considering how the president didn't even know about the whole groping situation, that's either just bad management or he's just saying that so he's not responsible for anything. //tut tut//

[@Qopa]

I find it funny that she sees sexual harrassment as a crime, "Sexual harassment, as such, is not a crime under state or federal law in the U.S. However, certain acts of sexual harassment are also crimes. Some other countries, including France and China, have enacted criminal laws to address sexual harassment specifically."

[@xandocommando]

she just used a british accent as a joke for the intro lol, no need to drop racial slurs

[@CumBrianFries]

skraeling287 It's not really racism as i'm Asian myself. I'm Viet so i guess you can call me Viet Cong if you want. Btw, we're reclaiming these racial slurs so expect to hear more Asians say them in day to day conversations. Kinda like what the Black community did with the n-word.

[@thunderstorms2112]

To answer some of your questions. Japan is full of sexual harassments towards most women there. So they made a gender train to make most women feel more comfortable without having a lot of men wanting to touch or kidnap them there. Every place have their own issues and problems. Of corse not all men are that way, but there are a lot of them out there who will do anything to have a woman or women in their grasp. Sexual assaults are everywhere, but in japan its pretty crazy.

[@PeachesofLove]

[@Qopa]

Yes that's until liberals and ignorant youth started making America a much worst place than in the 50's, where war are still ongoing. I mean, as of today, freedom of speech are not important anymore. People can murder, or and violate their right to safety under the premise that if they disagree, therefore, violence against others are allowed. And even safety to property are being violated to by many of the youth's fantasies on ideal uotpian society.

he's probably just feigning senility. it sounds like he was targeting you and if management wasn't going to protect you you made the right choice in quitting. you should get some mace and always remember your safety is much more important than the risk of litigation. make a scene, raise your voice, and tell them you're calling the police. take care.

[@gananggilang1271]

You're brave gurl, i hope the best for you right now

[@dfjulesful]

Sounds like that old man was just a pervert! It's disgusting that the staff didn't take it seriously but they could say that it was up to you to file a complaint. I know where I live you have the right to refuse service to someone but idk about Japan. From what I've heard about sexual harrassment in Japan this seems to be typical behaviour (just what I've heard from people living there). Seems like it's not taken seriously or it's excused because of age etc. He seemed like he was of sound mind though from what you said. I mean like he was able to buy/pay fro his groceries and deny that he groped the customer.

[@snuffyTHEmonkey]

Steph! Omgoodness. I wish I could have been there and saved you from that man! I am so sick and tired of sexual harassment I have prepared a speech and plan to counter the next person that does this to me or anyone I witness. It is NOT OK and you should not have to put up with it. They were wrong, your coworkers, boss and everyone who made you a helpless victim. You have a safe place here and know that you are not alone in your situation and you can speak up. I hate that this happened to you and that was how you were treated. Please take care of yourself and speak up so that these people will know that their 'victims' will shame them and say no. Maybe we can prevent it happening to someone else that way. I'm so sorry Steph. I'm glad you left that place. I support you.

[@biceps220]

My classmates always grope my butt but thats probably because my butt is unusually big. I feel the same thing you do when there is no one around you to help. I always get sexually harass like 2-3 time a week. I'm a boy btw, no kidding but it hurts my feelings as well. This is true.

[@milmilbear]

I'm so sorry to hear you had to go through this 😞 It sounds like the workplace really doesn't care about its employees (that's most likely why they are always short with staffs). At the place I used to work in Japan, our store manager always protected us from those cray cray customers. I'm glad you left them before anything worse happens 😣

That's it. We didn't get a lot of recognition for our hard work, not even a thank you or even a Xmas Party Whilst the CEO of those companies are working a couple days a week in some big office getting a millions of dollars a year and they're getting credit for something they didn't even have a hand in, you're the one slaving your butt off for $14 an hour working 70 hours a week, being spoken to like garbage from both management and customers alike. I am glad to get out of there and work for myself. My mental health and dignity is worth a lot more than that

[@LivingMyLife1991]

Good thing that you quit. No one should deal with stuff like that, when they are trying to work. The workplace atmosphere is always important. If you feel good there and people around you are nice, then it is fun to work. I have been thinking of taking some self defense lessons too. Even if you cant use what you learn at work, at least you know, you can protect yourself, if it should be necessary.

[@darkaquatus]

Sorry to hear you got scared. But to be completely honest with you, and please don't take this the wrong way, I get the feeling you overreacted quite a bit. You keep saying he 'basically' groped you. What does that mean, basically? So he didn't really grope you? But then you go on telling us you got sexually harassed. So did he, or didn't he? Assuming he did, all that happened in the end was an old man touching your ass for a split second. By all means, go ahead and get pissed off at him and tell him to fuck off. Maybe even go as far as reporting him to the cops and let them decide the magnitude of his offense. I don't understand why you'd get so scared and emotional, even to the point of crying, though. I dunno, maybe it's just me. But I feel like a reaction should always be in a justifiable proportion to the cause, if you understand what I mean by that. Just my 2 cents.

[@darkaquatus]

Oh boy, you're one of those progressive feminists who sees a rape culture everywhere you look, aren't you? But leaving that aside, you did not actually bring any arguments to the table. You simply disagreed with me and accused Japan of allowing pretty horrible actions. You better back it up with facts or take it back.

[@darkaquatus]

anchorgirl1350 I never said that. Stop using strawmen and actually come up with an argument, you smartass. Misrepresenting my position, ignoring my actual points and insinuating that I'm not a decent human being is lower than low. To put it bluntly: you're acting like a progressive leftist. I hope you realize you're only making a fool of yourself like this. Show some dignity, for crying out loud.

[@Raff766]

I completely agree with you dude, more women need to become stronger and not get so emotional especially if its something small like getting touched for 1 second. I really do feel like women kind of overreact to this kind of stuff, in the end the only thing he really did was touch for a split second. Obviously I'm not condoning of such actions and I definitely do not agree with what the old Japanese pervert did, but it's not like the guy physically assaulted her or anything. They just need to learn that its not that hard to just shoo these old Japanese perverts away like you would to a mosquito. There is no real reason to get so scared.

[@shanamoens822]

It depends on the individual and what kind of things you have been through during childhood. I would completely freak out if someone I don't know - man or woman - grabbed my butt or boobs too. Not because I'm an "entitled millenial" like some people are saying in the comment section, but because I was sexually molested by my mother's boyfriend from when I was 13 - 14. I'm 26 now and still a virgin because intimacy terrifies me. Maybe a few seconds being touched seems little, and with me it was more than a few seconds, it was frequently over a period of months, but I can still understand her reaction. You don't expect something like that to happen, especially not at your workplace. She doesn't seem like she'd given any indication that she was open to that kind of attention. If someone then grabs a rather intimate place on your body, the worry wheel starts running and you start wondering; if he dares to do that, who says he wouldn't dare to go even further than that too. Feminists claiming staring or merely speaking is sexual harrassment can go fly in the highest tree and never come back down. I'm glad that silliness doesn't happen here. I don't like feminists claiming something rape randomly either. As intrusive as my own experience was, even that wasn't rape. Assault or molestation yes, but not rape. Doesn't mean it can't be damaging too. No one should touch someone else's body without permission. I get just as pissed when I hear a man got groped by a woman and people just laugh it off and say it's different. No, it's fucking not. Or worse, when it happens to a boy. Female pedophiles should be taken just as seriously as male pedophiles.

[@ualuuanie]

You know now that you mention it I remember an incident way back when I worked for awhile in Japan. Some of the lady staff would wait for us guys to finish work and go home together.

1) people saying that others "don't like me for no reason" are usually the ones to blame for it and not the others 2) one doesn't go to jail for grabbing someone's ass 3) if someone harasses you, do something about it. Tell the person to stop, call the police. Grow up and stop whining.

[@shamsojama7119]

Yep what what she said Japan is not the usa different places 月

[@NoelBarcelona]

That's very, very traumatizing! Thanks that you are okay now. Hope that the authorities will be more vigilant about these cases. Sexual harassment should not be left untouched.

KZbin recommended me to watch this video at 3am. You must be my goodnight pillow.

[@JohnVinylGen]

omg. you are kawaii as hell. do you sell bobble-head-dolls of your self? Then I realize you're last name is not Japnese (aka not honorary Aryan).... sorry, you still have to go back no matter how kawii-desu-ne you are. TPP is already gone and the wall will be built. Do not counter signal our president. Hail Korea, Hail Trump, Hail Bannon, Hail Sessions!

[@JohnVinylGen]

Damn right he did! But they are good buds now. You can-hand rape your friends. Me and my coworkers hand-rape each other every day. France pour les français!

[@joythug37]

stay safe Steph , u have a new fan here , all the best from Romania !

[@greatguy200]

Sorry to hear what you went through. That is horrible to be in a position like that.

[@JosephDewey]

Great video. Excellent editing. It's very fast paced.

[@notyourpieceofcake]

I don't like how Saudi Arabia works, but I love how no one's harassed over there, no matter what the reason is! They cover themselves completely, they can't wear what they want, but at least they don't have to go through all these safety issues! I've never seen a country as safe as Saudi Arabia, specially for foreigners and strangers/acquaintances!

[@hopejoy6768]

I feel so bad hearing that, Steph. Im glad your okay and made the decision to quit. Its a quiet sad that you can't really do much in terms of self defence. It would be nice if more could be done. Eg an emergency button underneath the counter table whenever something happens. However, next time something like that happens just scream. Literally SCREAAAAM. It will put him on shock and alert people straight away. Never keep quiet about sexual harassment, ever. People will always target the quiet ones.

[@alanveiga452]

Sorry, but this is so funny. I keep picturing the guy walking into the store and randomly groping people's asses. This made me laugh so much.

[@phaenius]

This is my first video I saw on your channel, Steph. I read that you were raised in the US. I understand the job where you had this unpleasent experience happened in Japan, right ? Out of curiosity, do you live there now ? How come you didn't continue to stay and study and work in US ?

[@kervonpatrick6802]

What magic is this!! How did you hold the cup like that.

[@punkrockgrl638]

I can relate to this. I worked at this gas station/restaurant. A coworker came in one night(I worked night shift) and she was really drunk. She thought it would be hilarious to grab me inappropriately but I did not think it was funny. I reported it to the store manager and he did absolutely nothing. No one thought what happened was wrong because it was a girl grabbing another girl.

[@spaceunicorn8423]

2:40 i know exactly how you feel. I experience it myself too. Anyway Stay strong and stay safe.

[@Redactedredacted5837]

Where is Steph Choi from? The UK?

[@angelz7801]

here's a quote hope you read it!😁😁. Life is very complicated don't try to find answers because when you find answers life changes the questions. p.s love your videos ❤❤❤

[@yothiga]

I really understand your issue, For people who never experience it will be hard to understand. When I'm in high school I think I'm so bad ass and can handle all harassment and thief or something like that but in a real situation, it was so fast and my reaction is shaking too.

[@lakkakka]

I love how your eyes sparkle while you smile.

[@Hannah-vy2kc]

Steph I think your hair looked by far the best in this video 🙌🙌👌👌

[@maelstrom57]

I remember this Taiwanese drama where a girl gets groped by two guy on the bus and she's too afraid to cry for help because, apparently, remaining quiet on public transport is more important than resisting sexual assault in that society.

[@reend706]

i know this feeling steph :( at my work there's this customer that i always hate coming.. i work at a fast food chain and i mostly do the running (i give the orders to the customers) there is this guy who always order his food to go and whenever i hand him the order he always make sure that he touches my hand.. at first i thought it couldnt be helped and i dont want to assume but this has happened more than once already and usually when i hand over an order to a customer they would avoid touching my hand (well most of the customers anyway) but this guy is doing it intentionally. he would grab my hand and look at me intensely. Honestly it disgust me. I told this to my co-workers and supervisors but they just brushed me off... =__= for the time being i just avoid interacting with him whenever he's around but if this keeps on going i might just quit

[@reend706]

anyway i sympathize with you. no one should ever be treated this way :(

[@SilverMiraii]

If you get sexually assaulted, pepper spray them, threaten them, yell, things like that, don't rely on people to protect you, there's not many good people in this world, and such a thing is hard to prove in court if there's no cameras or witnesses. Personally if someone assaults me, they should buy themselves a coffin first, just in case, I don't play games when it comes to my safety.

[@JoeMama-lb6no]

At a minimum he should have been banished from the store indefinitely. Mgmt should have spoken to him and asked him to leave. You should contact headquarters and inform them of the incident in addition to how it was handled at your place of employment. You should have received some sort of training if your mgr told you it's your responsibility to protect yourself. Providing good customer service includes protecting other customers. Service desk should have stopped what they were doing to ask the man to leave rather than announcing it over the intercom. It might not be the stores responsibility to police but the location is private property and you do have the authority to request that he leave as to avoid any further incidents with other customers.

[@TrueDeathless]

IDig Ninjas it's Japanese culture, not the specific workplace. Police say the same thing and give excuses

[@JoeMama-lb6no]

That's terrible. People should have a right to feel safe. Then indeed she made a good choice in leaving.
