First the Koreans, now the Japanese. The average Chinese seem to like their fingers but have horrible leadership, so maybe they should cut off their government and declare themselves better off than their neighbors.
so, western expats, are you now ready to accept that Korea is not the only country where men cut off their fingers to make a point?
It’s an East Asia thing, dating to many centuries, with probable origin from China.
I wonder how that douchebag that was saying this was a Korean thing is taking this new event. Denial, most likely.
I personally like my fingers. The most I would do is shave my head.
It just confirms the fact that Japanese people and culture originated from Korea. I think it is the 25% Korean DNA that’s behind the finger cutting.
Yakuza have been cutting off fingers for decades. Wussified modern ones do it with local anathesia in outpatient surgery.
Unfortunately if you cut off a finger, whenever protesting an issue, the maximum times you can protest is 10, unless you start moving onto other digits, then it’s 21!
Never ask a chick in Japan for her digits.
At least they pay severance in Japan…
