It is unclear when it started, but the situation of young women being harassed by perverts and “creeps” harassed openly has been met with indifference from society. With justifications stemming from “admiration” for a beautiful and attractive woman by the perpetrator, the victims have to endure in silence.
From Female Streamers…
Remember the clip capturing the beautiful streamer Jasmine Vo, originally from Canada, who is living and working in Japan, while livestreaming her breakfast on Twitch when a stranger approached, groped her waist, and touched her chest. This left Jasmine shocked, terrified, and she started crying right at that moment.
Witnessing the female streamer being openly harassed, viewers urged her to leave the area immediately. In fear, she walked away, but the attacker continued to follow Jasmine for a while before disappearing.
It is known that the incident occurred back in September 2020, but it was not until March 2021 that Jasmine mentioned it because, prior to that, netizens continuously blamed Jasmine Vo, claiming that only girls who dressed provocatively would be harassed. In reality, Jasmine was dressed very modestly.
… To Hot Girl Physics Teacher – Minh Thu
As she is still a phenomenon on social media, it is not surprising that teacher Minh Thu continues to attract great attention on various social media forums. A livestream by this teacher born in 1997 was extremely “lively” with nearly 400,000 comments. However, among them appeared many distasteful comments mocking the teacher’s looks, and even many 18+ harassment comments surfaced during this online class.
Although the female teacher tried to teach from start to finish, limiting her responses to vulgar comments, Minh Thu was still psychologically affected by seeing these opinions. In light of this issue, many people have spoken out hoping the online community will stop making inappropriate comments during livestreams.
The physics teacher stated that she was not overly affected psychologically by this because she had not read many comments online, as it was already quite late after each class, and she had to check messages from her students. However, she had prepared mentally for the fact that when many people know her, there will inevitably be mixed reactions.
Sexual harassment comes from everywhere, in all forms, manifesting as teasing remarks. The kinds of jokes that people often say are harmless are the basis for distorted thoughts about respecting beauty, respecting individuals, which affects the issue of harassment and in this case, spreads distorted thoughts about the teacher-student relationship.
It is the online community’s fascination and the helplessness of those involved that indirectly aids the perpetrators, making the problem worse and contributing to the “normalization” of harassment issues in today’s society.
It is important to understand that malicious jokes about appearance and 18+ topics are never funny; rather, they sow negative and deviant thoughts. Everyone appreciates beauty and has the right to praise it, but do not confuse it with gossip or making it a distasteful joke.
