SEOUL, Nov 23 (Reuters) - A South Korean appellate court on Thursday ordered Japan to compensate a group of 16 women who were forced to work in Japanese wartime brothels, overturning a lower court ruling that dismissed the case and prompting a stern protest from Tokyo.

    I’m a Japanese. Can you point me to your source now?

    Edit:
    Here are mine. I should’ve put these before all this nonsensical nightmare with this person that follows after.

    Government denies that “comfort women” were coerced by the Japanese military.

    A scholarly article
    explaining how Shinzo Abe’s government denied coercion in 2007.

    Here’s the formal Japanese record from the congress.

      What source are you looking for? That comfort women refers to women forced into sexual slavery for the Japanese military during the first half of the 20th century? That’s just the definition of the word. I’m not sure what you’re asking for.

        “comfort women”… are very specific sex slaves

        That Japanese people recognize them as sex slaves. The government, media and commoners.

        This means that I want a FORMAL source from the government. And news articles explicitly stating this. And some scholarly articles that analyze the perception among the commoners.

        No god-damn Wikipedia.

        If I don’t reply the next time, regard it a failure on your side.

          Jesus Christ what a level of pedantry is this… I’m not engaging with this kind of bullshit, so go ahead and regard it as “a failure on my side.”

          Fucking trolls wasting everyone’s time and poisoning every discussion…

              I made no argument. There’s nothing to source.

              You’re trying to start a kindergarten-level fight and I’m not interested in engaging in that kind of behavior. I’m here for discussion, not pedantry.

              Go waste someone else’s time with your trolling.

                    I’ll take your words seriously after you learned that calling someone a troll is not a pass to properly making an argument.

        I raised Abe’s name because Abe’s conservative voter base who demanded such a change.

        Get rid of that “this person is not Japanese” attitude. It only humiliates you. Are you a proud nationalist or something?

          If someone references the last well known leader to ask about a country, that’s a giant red flag that they’re lying about being from the country. Same for saying “as far as I understand” to describe the situation in that country. I’m not at all humiliated by not automatically believing someone I don’t know online behaving suspiciously, nor does it imply I’m a nationalist.

                  Red flags are warnings that you should look into further, which I did. They’re not absolute predictors, but signs to probe. I stand by my question.

                  You asked someone else in this thread to produce a type of document that has never existed for anything (a government agreement that a word means a certain thing), then when they couldn’t, explained that an argument made without evidence is meaningless. How is due diligence about the claims people make a surprise to you?

                    I asked for that document because I suspected it does NOT exist. In a series of trying to prove me wrong, you have only continued to make the wrong assumptions about me. Just stop.
