it’s probably not spoiling anything to say there are female characters in this vice show working as “dohan” (companions who earn commission by getting blokes to buy drinks), and some other characters who work as prostitutes.
“humans do sex” has always been my mantra. it’s not innately offensive, but i would prefer it add something to a storyline rather than be acted out gratuitously.
(i know, don’t get me started on outlander, cos that would be another digression, but there’s a reason i call it “the humpy pumpy show”)
in life that some people are sex workers, which doesn’t bother me either, but i would prefer it be a freely chosen occupation rather than something people are forced into.
some characters in this show assume women exist to/ ought to/ have no other use than/ waiting on or servicing men. the assumption is by no means unique to japan (in my experience, it’s everywhere) but it’s offensive and wearing, and as i don’t have to “go out there” to earn a wage now, i can’t say i want to even think about it. it’s not claustrophobic, so much as it makes the atmosphere of this show too suffocating for my taste.
i’m interested in what the reporter in this story is investigating, and the workings of the newspaper, but after 5 episodes i can’t sit through any more of the sexism.

#watching #TokyoVice — some episodes currently showing on SBS (australia)
“Jake Adelstein, an american journalist, plugs into the tokyo vice squad and descends into the underbelly of tokyo
the key word in that synopsis is probably “underbelly”
this is lovingly filmed noir.
i don’t know a lot about japanese culture and a show like this is unlikely to provide a balanced view, nonetheless it is interesting for the little it shows me.
as a digression, i must say, one of my hobbies is sometimes picking a random victorian postcode and looking at real estate — at what is available where, and for what price.
change is inevitable and it doesn’t bother me that the melbourne i grew up in 60+ years ago is long gone… but after looking at hundreds of boxy, poky little “apartments” online recently, i was beginning to feel claustrophobic.
better than being unhoused, and probably better for the planet, but not my idea of dream living.
tokyo as shown here looks similarly claustrophobic.
even if Ansel Elgort, who plays Jake, wasn’t so tall, everything tokyo would seem Lilliputian, and because the story features a lot of nightscapes, the light pollution seems oppressive.
now, to discuss the vice/underbelly aspect, i offer another digression.
in a world ruled by the division of labour, capital enterprises, private property and supply chains, finding work and performing for wages is necessary, but not necessarily fun.
i never really minded any of the work i did so much as i minded the a*holes who routinely make life unpleasant, and even more, i minded not being able to distance myself from them, because i needed to work.
so glad i don’t have to “go out there” anymore.
as a person who is deemed by others to be female (for some reason, it mattered to “society” that i belonged to a category) i have long had to “put up with systemic sexism” and with rapey blokes, as well as the other stuff on my list of reasons to not much like paid employment.
