All the emails came from one address and carried an identical message, according to the Mainichi newspaper in Japan.

This is unconscionable and should be dealt with severely. Not to downplay it at all but calling it 8,000 death threats is misleading.
It was probably some idiot running scripts on their laptop. I expect email systems detect this activity easily and block it, but I guess not.
Mail servers will sometimes drop excessive mail if it comes too fast But an upper limit per address would be novel, and I'm not sure what sort of limits one would put there.
Thats such an insane over reaction that its unbelievable, and yeah all 8000 were the same message sent by the same person from the same email address, still disturbing but while technically true the headline implies something entirely different from the actual story.
As much as I'd love to shit on Japan, that headline is basically a lie, even if true.
The implication of receiving 8000 messages is that thousands of people sent those messages, not one dude running a bash script.
Damn, I was about to wonder what the fuck was going in Japan.
The incel emperor.
If that's true then the headline is more insane than the actual news.
Happy to hear this. Otherwise I would have been shocked.
Completely normal reaction from Incel Island.
the occupied territories are eternally cursed
And again Japan proves itself that behind the mask of civility it's an island with a shit ton of creepy angry fucking incels
Wait why?
Yet China is the dictatorship, somehow.
men are free to harass women in the free world! instead of fixing problems, japan (not saying it is endemic to there) even has trains for women only because they cant educate society (men) properly (because freedom!). and i say this as a man
Yeah, Japan disturbs me.
One death threat, eight thousand times.
I will kill assembly member Ayaka Yoshida, who does not bring emergency napkins with her while being old enough to know better!
I will kill senator Dudu Ass, who does not bring emergency toilet paper with him while being old enough to know better!
it seems like cringy far-rightist incels making a stupid massive joke based on dragon ball z against a local communist
HOW WILL THIS AFFECT THE ECONOMY? FREE PRODUCTS? THAT WILL NEVER WORK, EVER HEARD OF THE TRAGEDY OF THE COMMONS? - them probably
Muh white people wakanda
