There are way more outlets online now for one-sided opinions to get validated than there used to be, so it just accelerates things even more.
To have someone harbor that much murderous intent toward you… what did this woman even do??

Can't you read the source?
They're total strangers.

Can she actually get any money out of this guy?

His parents will probably cough up some money on their own, I'd guess.

Classic ice-age generation, lol (the "employment ice age" cohort that graduated into Japan's brutal job market of the '90s–2000s)

If he's 38, that'd put his job hunting right around the years of the "nightmare" DPJ government, no? (a common conservative-leaning jab at the Democratic Party of Japan's 2009–2012 rule)

'Half'? Is it really only half?
'Half'? Is it really only half?
Really simply put, I feel like the pattern here is:
– He didn't realize he was the one driving the wrong way
– He figured the other person caused the crash by going the wrong way, so he started acting tough first so he wouldn't be looked down on 🥺

So from this guy's point of view it's like, 'What the hell, this bitch came at me driving the wrong way! I'll kill her!!'

If he's 38 he was born in the Showa era. When I think 'yutori generation' (Japan's so-called 'relaxed education' cohort) I picture people born in the Heisei era… though technically the yutori curriculum might've already started by then.

People around 35 now are the last of the yutori generation, so that checks out pretty well, I think.

I'm turning 40 this year and I'm the first of the yutori generation, so yeah, that lines up.

So is everyone after the yutori generation safe from being like this?

Feels like this is going to end with her just having to swallow it and move on…

Wonder how the insurance is going to work out. This is just too awful for her.
