Whoa, I didn't think Johnny's agency sex abuse scandal would get the attention of the U.N., I wonder why this one though.

Couldn't a better agency investigate these claims instead of the looney, misguided, busybodies of the UN.

Well, if the UN does job normally, Johnny and Assoc will suffer same fate that Russia, China, and NK, nothing happen. Glad UN has so much free time after creating global peace and saving earth from global warming. Sex abuse is problem, in Japan, but not UN's problem to solve

UN? Doing their job normally? Pick one, because they have screwed up and had insanely bad takes on Japanese media for almost 15 years, that den of snakes can't be trusted.

What he did was vile but what is the UNHRC's interest in the Kitagawa allegations in particular?

Like, did they look into Jimmy Savile and make recommendations to the UK the same way?

Why did ANN take down my suggestion that they go after the Kenshin guy, too?

I'm not sure I understand what the point of investigating a dead man's crimes is. He can't be punished or anything anymore. Closure?

Because this isn't an investigation of him personally, it is of the business and governmental structures that facilitated him.

Also it's worth noting that they aren't going to Japan just for this, it's simply part of a wider investigation.
