Turnabout is fair play. Calgary was disgustingly unprofessional (if they had an objection, they should at the very least have refunded the badgers.) and upholding the banning without an attempt to live up to their own responsibilities reeks of bad faith and a lack of due diligence either way, much less harassing them by calling the police on them while they were sitting in an unrelated public space.

This lack of accountability is very bad for business in general.

Edit: Apparently, it's not a new thing for them and they absolutely should be censured for horrible conduct.

Never saw that comment from Sarkesian before (or don't remember) but it shows how ignorant of culture she is since she is supposedly a culture critic of some sort, since Japan never left their traditional values. But good on Japan for having no tolerance for these hypocrites.

Feminists must lose their shit when Kawasaki celebrates Kanamara Matsuri (festival of the steel phallus).

That's a very generous offer from Mark. I lived in Japan for 2 years and I loved it there, very friendly people and beautiful countryside. If you go, try to get out of Tokyo and see the country a bit. I can offer plenty of suggestions.

Nothing brings a tear to the eye quite like solidarity.

From Steve Britton: "No “evidence” ever got produced, of course. The panel discussion they cited was certainly not disrupted, nor was it derailed, nor were the panelists harassed or attacked, The proof is here, on YouTube. As you will hear, the individual was given permission to speak, and spoke very politely and respectfully to the panelists."

Where else have we seen this pattern? This sounds a lot like the campus rape kangaroo courts.

The quote from A.S. you provided in the video demonstrates that she has no concept of Japanese culture and history.

I look forward to that twitter announcement.

Why would the TGS care about Calgary Expo's conduct? Why is Calgary Expo even on their radar, and why would they take sides in a political conflict when they could NOT take sides and get everyone's money because they are the god damn Tokyo Game Show?
