The recent terror attacks in Paris have rocked the world, prompting considerable debate in the US and across Europe.
We have yet to see a significant response from Japanese netizens in the usual forums like 2ch.net and Yahoo! Japan, although the Japanese-language version of the hashtag “Charlie Hebdo” did trend on Twitter. Other than tweeting in solidarity, perhaps netizens felt there was very little to say.
But now 2ch netizens have stepped up to give their opinions on the mass demonstration in central Paris that followed the terror attacks. And as usual, they have some controversial opinions.
From 2ch.net:
Everyone’s Talking About Paris…Demonstration March With Over 1 Million People
超竜ボム(大阪府)＠＼(^o^)／:
That’s amazing…
サッカーボールキック(catv?)＠＼(^o^)／:
Is this the French Revolution?
バズソーキック(やわらか銀行)＠＼(^o^)／:
It would be pretty fucked up if there was a terror attack with all those people there like that…
アキレス腱固め(東京都)＠＼(^o^)／:
This is the first time there have been such floods of people like that in France since the May Revolution in the Sixties…
リバースパワースラム(やわらか銀行)＠＼(^o^)／:
Bet this is the kind of reaction that makes terrorists really happy.
バーニングハンマー(SB-iPhone)＠＼(^o^)／:
There must be more than 1,000,000 people there, right?
アイアンフィンガーフロムヘル(埼玉県)＠＼(^o^)／:
It’s like something from Where’s Wally.
断崖式ニードロップ(庭)＠＼(^o^)／:
What would you do if you needed to go to the toilet?
ニールキック(滋賀県)＠＼(^o^)／:
Made me think of the final scene of Les Miserables.
ミッドナイトエクスプレス(茸)＠＼(^o^)／:
Looks like a pilgrimage to Mecca.
ツームストンパイルドライバー(茸)＠＼(^o^)／:
Japan has things pretty bad, but the rest of the world has it worse.
エメラルドフロウジョン(東京都)＠＼(^o^)／:
Was this demo necessary?
Kinda feels it’s been a long time coming.
ボ ラギノール(東京都)＠＼(^o^)／:
Demos in Japan are like school excursions…
アルゼンチンバックブリーカー(dion軍)＠＼(^o^)／:
French people must have loads of free time (´・ω・｀)
トペ コンヒーロ(庭)＠＼(^o^)／:
I wonder if, after this terror attack, they will really be able to oppose immigration?
France is serious about this.
ストマッククロー(静岡県)＠＼(^o^)／:
The only thing in Japan that comes close to this were the struggles over the US-Japan Security Treaty.
シューティングスタープレス(やわらか銀行)＠＼(^o^)／:
They’re all saying ‘what about freedom?’ but in fact this is just a gathering to kill muslims.
Honestly, this whole scene makes me shudder.
男色ドライバー(大阪府)＠＼(^o^)／:
When they’re all gathering like that, it’s like saying ‘come on, terrorize us”…
They could take out over 100 people with a single bomb in a crowd like that.
Are the French stupid?
デンジャラスバックドロップ(神奈川県)＠＼(^o^)／:
War’s a-coming.
TEKKAMAKI(庭)＠＼(^o^)／:
I can’t help but feel that this is going to have the opposite effect.
ツームストンパイルドライバー(関西・東海)＠＼(^o^)／:
I don’t understand the point in protesting against terrorism.
Eloquence is all very well, but in their hearts they’re insisting ‘out with the Muslims’, I reckon.
グロリア(チベット自治区)＠＼(^o^)／:
Amazing…I guess the French Revolution must have been like this.
レッドインク(東京都)＠＼(^o^)／:
The French love stuff like this.
