Such a beautiful tribute to her life and legacy. Life is truly unfair for those who are vilified by bullies. Those bullies deserve to burn in hell.

Shame someone had to die, first.

This is a great thing to do, and should've been done a very very long time ago. The only problem with this is, and it probably wouldn't have mattered in this case since I'm sure all of the ones bullying her probably was in Japan, the world leaders need to come together for something because, say someone in a country it's not illegal, cyberbullies someone in Japan where it could become illegal. What happens there?

I've never seen a good way to regulate cyberbullying suggested tbh. I don't think it should just be a free for all on the Internet by any means, but I wish it was just as easy as putting "don't be a cunt" in the terms and conditions when you join a site and sadly it's not. I guess it just feels like an empty gesture bc I doubt nothing will actually change regardless of the law, and I think they are also slippery slopes to censor the Internet more that certain countries will more than jump on by pretending to care about mental health.

Good news to hear, but in the back of my mind I'm thinking yeah you can have all the Panels you want, but will anything get truly done? From reading the Article I'm shocked other Members of the Show were bullied hard too and it took Hana's death to want to change things. That should of been done many Months prior and if that stuff was fixed earlier, Hana would be with us today. Chances are the people who did the bullying probably have deleted their Tweets/Posts or deleted their Accounts so how will the figure out who did what then?

Twitter would have access to that shit, nothing is gone forever.

Until you have to use some official form of identification so there is no anonymity, very little will ever change sadly.

Yeah I'm pretty sure there's websites that let you find deleted tweets even bc they'll store them or something if Twitter plays dumb like they couldn't access them for some reason.

Hana Kimura birthday hurts twice as hard especially when I remember Thuy Trang aka Trini from PR died 19 years ago today.

200526030441 02 hana kimura restricted super tease

Last month marked the 2nd anniversary of the tragic passing of World Wonder Ring Stardom star Hana Kimura, and it has now revealed that action is being taken by Japan to prevent similar situations from being allowed to happen in the future.

For those unfamiliar, Hana Kimura, alongside her commitments as a professional wrestler, also appeared on the Netflix reality series ‘Terrace House’ between 2019 and 2020.

Tragically, waves of online abuse following Kimura’s appearance on the show led to her ending her own life on May 23rd, 2020, triggering grief and shock nationwide.

As stated by CNN, significant changes to the Japanese legal system are now set to take effect, with a much increased potential prison sentence, along with a substantial fine now the price for such behaviour online.

“Under the amendment to the country’s penal code — set to take effect later this summer — offenders convicted of online insults can be jailed for up to one year, or fined 300,000 yen (about $2,200). It’s a significant increase from the existing punishments of detention for fewer than 30 days and a fine of up to 10,000 yen ($75).”
The article does state however that the law should be re-examined in three years time, as whilst the vast majority are in support of the law that could lead to a decrease in the level of cyberbullying, some believe it has the potential to impede free speech.

Providing further clarification on the law, a spokesperson from the Ministry of Justice defined ‘online insults’ as “publicly demeaning someone’s social standing without referring to specific facts about them or a specific action”.

This differentiates the law from those against defamation, which is described as “publicly demeaning someone while pointing to specific facts”. This, in effect, should aim to stamp out unnecessary abuse for the the amusement of the perpetrator, rather than preventing valid criticism.

Hana’s mother, Kyoko Kimura, a former professional wrestler in her own right, held a news conference after the parliament announced its decision on Monday, praising the new law.

“I want people to know that cyberbullying is a crime.
-Kyoko Kimura
Kyoko also added that she hopes this is the start of more detailed legislation being incorporated, and we’re certainly glad that positives steps are now being made towards the prevention of such despicable displays of abuse moving forward.

The best News I've heard all Year. This will not bring back the Angel Hana back but it will help and aid more people with Cyberbullying and that is a major positive coming from a negative with Hana's passing.

It shouldn't have to be done in the first place if people were to be decent people and not bully others, especially anonymously online like a coward.
