How come calling social services wasn't an option here?

>>741601912helping abused kids in japan is bad?
>>741601759FPBP
>>741600991Something something Japanese culture of "just keep your head down, don't make a fuss, that's shamefur dispray" something like that.
>>741602183Going to the police about corporal punishment is pointless. And it very clearly wasn't anything out of the ordinary, she doesn't show any bruises, and the game would have brought that up if it were happening at that scale. Likely she was just slapped. Her parents were terminally selfish and shitty and the point of the link was helping her come to terms with and navigating the divorce.
>>741600991It was a different time
>>741600991Social services barely do anything in fucking America why would you think they're useful in Japan
>>741601868I think they used to be just niche pervert items adapted from this one "blousier" retro Mediterranean design before gravure/anime/gacha made them much smaller and more popular
>>741603261These are so hot
>>741600991It's a delicate situation, op.
>>741602483Only if it's at the behest of the Onigafuchi Defense Alliance.
>>741600991Social services just rips apart the family, the kid ends up in adoption, nobody really cares what happens to him, and his life is just barely less fucked. If anything, it's like removing the risk of a gamble for lower return.
>>741605568the ideal situation is people should care and we should rip and tear the parents for being wrong kinds of parentsthere isn't enough equalizer's robert mccall in anybody's blood anymoremaybe it's time someone inspired that
>>741600991In Japan you mind your own business and don't bother society unless someone is making a public nuisance.
>>741600991Abuse needs to be extremely severe before it reaches the point where involving the government makes it better instead of worse for the kid. Getting hit a little with no injury afterward is not even close to enough
>>741600991A bunch of strangers ripping your life apart and taking you away to place you with more strangers is extremely traumatizing and it's amazing how few people seem to realize that or even care to think about it.
>>741608748>A bunch of strangers ripping your life apartonly if that's what they're actually doing instead of rescuing you from a bad situation that can't be reconciledif you're the kind of dad who says you won't do that again and then you do it again, i'm gonna find you and whoop your ass 10 ways from sunday and if you don't think my drunken ass can't whoop someone in a fight i'm free tomorrow
>>741600991Social services isn't just useless. It's malicious. You should know by now that the Epsteins of the world source kids from there. You should read about that rape gang inquiry.
>>741608932that's because assclowns like gayer starmer are in chargelook what's happened since he's been around
>>741601912>dude just sell the child to strangersthis should be an absolute last resort for the most extreme situations
>>741607979the kid still depends on those parents so I don't know what you're expecting to happen. if you hurt them, arrest them, make them lose their job, etc it also hurts the kid. taking the kid away makes things MUCH worse unless the parent is in the bottom 0.01% of parents.The ONLY case where social services could help is if the parent is mostly good already and decides to shape up.
>>741608898Parents used to use corporal punishment all the time. Even teachers did. Humans are extremely adaptable. You don't want to beat up some father to save his kid and that kid could well hate you for it, you want to do it to feel better about yourself because you like imagining yourself as the hero against evil regardless of the actual circumstances.
>>741608986Crypto-kike Starmer is a literal worse-than-epstein pedo who rapes boys. He has been actively working to destroy the UK since he got into political office, he personally buried gang-rape cases and gave light sentences to the worst sort of shitskin scum.He's way worse than you seem to think. But the other anon is right, all too often social services do more harm than good in attempting to resolve family disputes.
>>741601759This but of the micro variety
When I was a kid, social services took me away once. I was home alone, and I guess a neighbor called them.Seemed like a stupid waste of everyone's time, where they took me sucked too.
>>741600991You can date JS in Persona 3?
>>741609957She's a social link, not a romantic option.
>>741609987Your opinion.
>>741609761>>741609331>>741609254ok so i'm drinking but i'm meaning to talk about worst case scenarios, i'm not against hitting kids just as punishment for being dumb, they need more of that imho because a lot of them are stupid and need the stupid slapped out of thembut also ideally the social services are not doing what they're supposed to, much like that guy employee you know at walmart who is actually not doing what they're supposed to and they just sit around and chitchat instead of getting their work done
>>741610012Don't you tell me, I played through her route ages ago.
>>741600991Its Japan. Your character is considered weird for trying to connect with other people. Their attitude is the 4 year old should solve it herself.
>>741600991She should ask chatgpt.
>>741600991Because Japanese people think actually interfering with someone else's family matter is a taboo despite how fucked the situation is. If you were dying on a sidewalk, 99.9% of Japanese will just pass by because it's not their problem.
>>741610287you're making shit up by taking what you heard of china
>>741610380They are literally the same
>>741610429day arr rook arike u say kekkekeke
>>741610380the principle that government should not intervene on civilian matters are common in any non-nanny country. afaik not too long ago a couple was arrested in japan for starving their children to death. apparently they have been visited repeatedly by social service.
>>741610041Parents treating their children like they're their little retarded buddies and shoving screens in front of their faces when they don't want to deal with them, which seems to be most of the time these days for many, is the "humane" way to lobotomize children and very socially acceptable unfortunately while attempting to instill any sort of discipline beyond merely taking that screen away is now heavily frowned upon. Pain is an extremely good teacher, that's literally why we feel it, and as long as it's not overboard and applied correctly, your kids could be way better off for it than walking all over you, expecting everything to be handed to them and graduating high school functionally illiterate.I agree that hitting a kid because she's asking too many questions about her parent's relationship falling apart is very shitty and unwarranted, but like the other anons say, getting social services involved for that is far worse for the kid. Plus, if she's casually talking about it like that it's unlikely it was more than a light slap on the cheek. It helps to remember that the most important opinion on that matter is the kid's and that the kid is likely to hate their parent more and throw and tantrum after having their screen taken away than after a paddling. We live in a time where kids will literally shoot their sleeping parent for taking their Switch away for a few days.
>>741610842>getting social services involved for that is far worse for the kid.that depends on the extremenesswould you have fritzl or turpin parents left to their own devices?
>>741610969>that depends on the extremenessThat's literally what the anon fucking said, stop being a retarded faggot. You're bringing up extreme hypotheticals that don't apply to Maiko.
>>741610969>as long as it's not overboard and applied correctly>the most important opinion on that matter is the kid'sI'm pretty sure if you asked Fritzl's daughter her feelings on her father it would be nothing but fear and hate. Even if she had Stockholm Syndrome, imprisoning her for a decade or two as a rape slave is safely worse than strangers intervening and far beyond a smack. Nobody is saying social services should be abolished, just that people need to understand nuance and actually think about the kid rather than impose their own thoughts and beliefs in an attempt to play hero.
>>741600991why cant they align the in-game face models with the 2d art? still the same shit but no excuse this time
>>741600991Would be dishonorable. Not your problem, it's a family matter.
>>741600991The daughter of a famous baseball player called the services on her dad because he beat the shit out of her and broke shit in the house recently. The cops even came to arrest him. You know what happened next? They forced her to write a fake apology letter saying nothing happened and that it was chatgpt's fault. Japan is not what you think it is.
>>741600991>call social services>no visible marks>parents make shit up in order say the kid is exaggerating>beatings continue but even more intense
>>741611112i wasn't asking you, stand in social services anon, thanks for your not-input
>>741611672>no argument>continues being a fucking faggotJust admit you're balls deep in an argument you fucked up and pull out.
>>741611396This happened in my household, someone called CPS on my mom and after they visited the house she apparently punched my older sister in the stomach
>>741611783>continues being a social services anon for another anonironic
>>741609254Nah, youre wrong.
>>741611396Then cps failed performing their job. They rarely believe the parent anyway because of this sort of scenario happening in the past.
>>741600991Your parents didn't whoop your ass when you were a kid?
>>741600991Why would ever call muslim child bride delivery service on a little girl?
>>741612146Mine did and now I'm completely unable to form emotional attachments to other human beings.
>>741611364She phoned the service becasue gpt told her to phone the services when she was bring angsty and ranting about her dad to a chat AI.She later regretted it becasue she didn't expect the situation to escalate. She just wanted someone to listen to her rant, and she was just doing what gpt told her to do.Stop babbling misleading bullshit anon.

>>741612261Don't blame others for your failings. Gets to a point where you only hurt yourself.
>>741613018kid, you've probably never heard of the dark side of japan... junko furuta? phone camera shutter noise? any of that ring a bell?
>>741613069I'm just saying it did absolutely no favors. I will agree after a certain point, it's up to the individual to overcome those hurdles. I just don't care to do it, will not do it, and willingly accept the consequences for not doing it.
I was never whooped by my parents when I was a lil nigga, what did it feel like abusedbros?
>>741613413Depends on the whooping and why. Context is everything.
>>741613478Problem is, a lot of parents are unfit to be parents and never should have had kids to begin with regardless of parenting style. Adding whoopings to the mix is something many would be retarded about.
>>741600991>handing over a little girl to CPSWhy the fuck would you ever do this? Literally out of the pan and into the fire.
>>741602183Anon harvesting child porn gets you, at worst, a slap on the wrist in Japan. You make a public apology and nobody cares after 6 hours. They do NOT care about children over there, well in any yellow country really
>>741600991the nortubel of persona 3
>>741600991When has social services ever done anything to actually help a child?Sure didn't help me.
>>741609987>can promise her to get married once she becomes olderyeah, not romantic
>>741613413I was whooped mentally>guilt tripped, yelled at, compared to other people, made feel embarrassed and out of place all the time when at homethat's even worse than being spanked or hit with a belt
>>741615510I was hit by a belt as well but yeah, the mental whooping sucks alot more, actually. That shit sticks with you.
>>741602429Not just Japan. I live in Ireland and when I was 14, my mother took me to the doctor to have a skin infection examined and the doctor asked my mother if the doctor's 12-year-old daughter could stay in the room during my examination and my mother consented and they let the doctor's daughter stay in the room while I was examined fully naked. I called the Gardai (Irish police) and they said no law was broken and that it was my mother's choice as she is my parent.
>>741616123Why were you gay?
>>741616231I was abused
>>741600991MC is already putting another child in danger. Why not another
>>741613413you learn whatever lesson had to be learned, at the expense of losing trust towards them and having mental scars. They fall under the typical cliche of "why my sons never calls me back!?" once their kids grow up. My father spanked me + guilt trip, and I would trust other people over him.for example, my grandfather (father's side) had 6 kids, and he was always spanking them or letting the older son spank others in his absence. As a consequence, all of them are selfish assholes, and now that my grandfather is dealing with cancer, no one wants to take care of him, instead, they all fight eachother.
>>741614442This is a total fucking bold-faced lie, but sure whatever you say dude.
I don't think anyone should be allowed to have a child
>>741613071>one case 40 years ago>perverts exist (like they do in every country)"Dark side" my ass, it's the same shit in any fucking country. Japan's got crime, it's got murders, it's got rape, it's got thieves, same as any other country on this fucking planet.
>>741616948>Japan's got crime, it's got murders, it's got rape, it's got thieves, same as any other country on this fucking planet.世人皆濁,何不淈其泥而揚其波
>>741615510Basically this. My dad wanted me to be into everything he was into and I just wasn't (sports, made worse by me being athletic). I was into things he hated and didn't understand (computers and video games). He was never physically abusive but being told you're a fucking loser and ripping the family apart sticks with you. I basically fell apart starting in middle school because I'm asocial and he was heaping constant unwanted expectations and I didn't want to deal with all the shit.
What's wrong with spanking your kid? Parents have used this as punishment for thousands of yeas and yet since ~20 years ago we have collectively deemed it completely unacceptable.It reminds me of leftoids acting as if all women were literally enslaved rape sows prior to 60s.
>>741619000>Parents have used this as punishment for thousands of yeas and yet sinceAppeal to antiquity is not an argument.
For me it was parents being so selfish and fighting one another literally all the time both physically and with words in front of me and never once stopping to say, "hey, let's not do this in front of a five year old child, it might scar him for life".I once tried being an adult in the room and stepped in front of my mother literally frothing at her mouth from blinding rage only for her to sock me in the eye with clenched fist and go back to fighting one another in less than a second. Neither of them even looked at me and were genuinly confused the next day as to why do i have a black eye. It's kind of a fucked up thing to realize that some people (your parents included) simply aren't worth it at such a young age so i just played video games.
>>741619495That's really fucked up, anon. Jesus christ.
>>741600991That scene is Umineko where a social service lady visits Maria's home and witnesses how insane her mother is but does fucking nothing still makes me seeth whenever i think about it.
>>741620075Sounds about right. Social services are there for two reasons; facilitate fraud and molest children.
>>741600991Abusing and raping kids is normal in japan
>>741600991>Calls social services in nippon. Nothing happens.>Calls social services in murica. Nothing happens.>Realizes to have been living in a lie by social media. >Consumes more to cope.
>>741613413>smacked my head like a djembe until their hands were tired or I bled>hit in the ass or hands or head with sticks and thick wooden sandals until they snapped in half (the broken sandal is still kept glued together after it split into 2 long halves during a sesh)>beltings were a regular occurrence>threatened with a hammer in hand once to extract a confession about some medium sized bullshit i obviously did. I obviously gave it before I found out if it was just a threat as it seemed real enoughmy ass was blue black and purple and i could barely sit on some weeks and the scars on my head never healedthen growing up enough to be able to fight back coincided with the abuser starting to take happy meds so a single slap across the cheek was enough to make it all stopthe only lesson i learned was to keep others in the dark about everything and to keep lying even when caught because the beatings did not stop even when i told the truth and turned me from the biggest extrovert into a shut-in its amazing a parent is capable of such things but it could be worse
>>741620075I used to be a social worker, you'd be shocked how much is just ignored. The one that made me quit was so obviously fucked but we did nothing until the girl got hospitalized.
>>741610041>>741610842Hitting your own children is never okay.>But what if...No. No child should have to experience physical violence, least of all on the hands of their own parents.
Calling social services would have been much worse than not, because she would have gotten traumatized by all the police garbage going around.And what would be the end goal?Ending in a kids facility earning a 200$ pension and being raped and abused by social workers?Is that any better than maybe your father will slap you?
Is this the answer you wanted, OP? Does this thread make you feel better about wanting to call social services?
>>741620543lolnext you'll be saying there's no reason to hit a woman
>>741620543There's a difference between violence and punishment. Backhanding your kid is different from spanking. What we're doing to kids today is far worse than a rap on the knuckles. We're turning them into invalids addicted to instant gratification and can't handle hardship as they 're content living with their parents until they're 45.
>CPS are literally a child rape and traficking centersHow the fuck did we end here?
>>741620771Nah there's always a reason for that even if you don't know it. She does.
>>741620821Capitalism.
>>741620821did you just post a hekkin anime girl? what are you a pedophile? they should really ban that shit (to protect children)
>>741620821People only really care about their own children. If someone is given power over others and little to no accountability, they'll show you who they really are. It's like the UN retards sending members off to Africa with no oversight and being surprised when they all start plowing the underage locals.
>>741621351>It's like the UN retards sending members off to Africa with no oversight and being surprised when they all start plowing the underage locals.Did this actually happen?
>>741621387Yes.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_abuse_by_UN_peacekeepers
>>741602183Did you watch higurashi?
>>741621387That's just the tip of the iceberg.Remember when MSF got busted sexually abusing underage refugees? They were demanding sex in return for food and treatment. They're still a highly rated charity organization that receives about 2 or 3 billion a year in donations.
I'm replaying P3 right now and I never bothered or cared enough to look into it, but what exactly is it that prevents social links from ranking up? Are they just timed or something, like dependent on the time of month/year? Also can you make somebody angry by ignoring them, even if your link is maxed at the moment?I keep trying to advance those fucking old timers in the bookstore but I swear to God this shit's been stagnant for an ingame month now. STOP FUCKING TEXTING ME, who gave these old ass niggas a mobile?
>>741622403I don't think the old couple are time gated
>>741601759her randoseru stays ON while we have sex
>>741601829I realise now you mean a Japanese medical eyepatch but my first thought was a pirate chick wearing a bikini that only covers one tit and goes diagonally over the shoulder, with a skull and crossbones design. Never seen that before, maybe my dick just invented something new.
>>741622940
>>741622403Links are time gated? I ranked magician in the first month
>>741608898>>741608932In America, from what I understand it's borderline impossible for a normal Christian couple to adopt a kid. You have to be gay, a minority, or both. A couple made the news a while back when they were rejected and booted out of the system for trying to alert the fact that some of the adoptive parents were clear pedos, openly talking about "co-sleeping" with the kids. Probably differs a little by area.
>>741600991because you would have made her life worse, you retard? do you even think about the consequences
>>741623206Meanwhile my uncle just flies to Vietnam and adopts a girl, no questions asked

>>741616718The Act-Age Mangaka (or whatever it was called) was found with a full hard drive full of actual, real-life cheese pizza. He got off with a house arrest for like a fee months.
>>741616123Compared to everything else I've read itt this doesn't sound as bad, anon... I can understand being uncomfortable though.
>>741623176I imagine they are, otherwise I don't understand what's preventing them. Magician I know is the first one you can finish. Pretty sure you can max it before the end of June.For others though there are various points where it will say "I don't think my bond will grow any stronger..." at certain points, which leads me to believe certain events have to take place within the story for the social link to progress, or maybe it could be something else? That's what I'm trying to figure out I guess, because like I said it feels like a few links went to 4/5/6 real fast and then stalled for a month and nothing's happening. Are there triggers for certain links or something? I can't remember.
>>741619000NothingBut if you spank your kids nowadays then you're going to be equated to those drunkard parents who punch their children for sneezing
>>741624131It's 'cuz you didn't pick the right answers when you moving between social link ranks, probably.
>>741601759>>741601829She needs to wear the shark swimsuit in the new game.
>>741624000The difference is being in the possession of said stuff and doing actual rape anon arent the same thing
>>741620543clearly you haven't gotten enough beatings when you were a child
>>741619000We also used leeches before.There is a certain psychological response to spanking.
>>741624197>shark swimsuitNani?
>>741624265I have. Not by my parents, but god knows, I have. It didn't do me any good and it doesn't do anyone else any good.
>>741600991people talk about social services like they're some silver bullet but they're literally just yet another useless and harmful branch of government.report a kid who looks like they lose a WWF cagematch every weekend:>um, this is all he said she said, you're going to have to file a B.U.L.L. form and a sugma form and there's.... yeah we'll review it in a year, call the parents and then review that phone call next year.some literal demon possessed bitch HOA leader reports that your son is outside playing with dirt:>WHERE IS YOUR IDENTIFICATION CITIZEN DID YOU FILE YOUR TAXES THIS YEAR WE'RE TAKING YOUR CHILD UNTIL YOUR PAPERS ARE EXAMINED.
>>741624340This one.
>>741624410Yup... Right on the money, anon.Useless and harmful.
>>741600991I'd hit that too.
>>741624191kek, I just looked it up, turns out it's a (intentionally, perhaps) mistranslation in Reload of the game's original translation, which was already a bit ambiguous.Turns out all it means is you just need to spend a generic "event-free" day or two with them before your bond will deepen, I.E. event dialogue.But the way it's worded makes it sounds like it's gated by progress.
>>741622403there's no time gate on hierophant. social link ranks can't level up on phone call hangouts, only when you go visit them normally, so you may have gotten enough points to rank up but been doing phone hangouts over and over because you didn't know that
>>741624497>>741624504ohhhh, yeah, you need to initiate the hangout.
>>741624235My mistake, he didn't have cheese pizza, he actually assaulted TWO minors.

>>741624608What does this have to do with video games?
>>741621840I seem to recall something about the creator of that specifically saying that realistically the state would have gotten involved but he needed them not to for the plot to happen
>>741624608There was just a thing where this guy was found out to be writing under a pseudonym for an illustrator in a different magazine. The editors knew who he was and had actually approached him themselves.
>>741624608His sexual assaults consisted of two bicycle drive-by ass-grabs. Of course his sentence is light, it's not like he raped them.
>>741624608nta but I remember this guy.His manga got cancelled as a result, he may not have gotten a big sentence but his social life is practically as dead as a doornail. No one wants anything to do with him anymore.
>>741624734that was quite the scandal too, holy shit.
>>741624767He got a new manga actually.
