@GenshinUniverse For those who waited for 5.7’s archon quest, I just played it part of it today in 5.8 and Lumine and Aether’s voices are still not there it seems.
Why I Believe We Should Deport Only Criminal Foreigners, Not All Foreigners
I have lived in Japan my entire life. Throughout the years, I’ve encountered many foreigners who sincerely respect Japan and genuinely strive to integrate into our society. For instance, the ALT who kindly taught us English at school, or the Black man I recently saw offering his seat to an elderly person on the train. These individuals have adapted well to Japanese society and live alongside us just like any other member of our community. There is absolutely no reason to “kick them out.”
However, in recent years, we’ve seen an increase in problematic behavior from certain foreigners—such as streamers who repeatedly cause public disturbances or those who clearly enter the country with malicious intent. Of course, these individuals are only a small minority. Yet, their outrageous actions and broad influence have led some Japanese people to form the impression that “foreigners = troublemakers.” If this trend continues, misunderstandings and prejudice against well-meaning foreigners will only grow, potentially leading to greater division within our society.
That’s precisely why I believe we shouldn’t reject all foreigners as a group. Instead, we should respond strictly and decisively to those who clearly engage in criminal or disruptive behavior. They should be deported without exception. This is not an expression of xenophobia—it is a necessary step to protect the order and trust that underpin Japanese society.
Turning a blind eye to the problem won’t make it go away. Speaking up is important—for the safety and peace of mind of both Japanese citizens and the many good-hearted foreigners who live among us. Even for tourists visiting from abroad, we must uphold a society that is secure and respectful. If we allow bad-faith behavior to go unchecked, suspicion and distrust will only spread. That is why now, more than ever, a calm yet firm response is essential.
