Review of Tokyo Shaking

Tokyo Shaking (2021)
1/10
1% problems, smallest violin...
18 March 2022
The epitome of the "I am feel uncomfortable when we are not about me?" meme. Tokyo was not physically affected in the disaster, and faced no real radiation threat. And on top of that, we have the super privileged first world problems of the tip-top 1%: A wealthy European bank exec stationed in the wealthiest cities (which, again, sustained no damage) in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, who cares? The only way she could be any luckier if she were a man. She would be slightly less lucky if she worked for a Japanese company, but still pretty well off in her position. I really could care less how this type faired after the earthquake. There were even plenty of lower-level foreigners who did not have a viable economic opportunity to just quit their jobs and return to their home countries, let alone of course it's not like 100% of Japanese people could suddenly leave Japan.. it's not just a choice and matter of some bushido stereotypes orientalists are so obsessed with... a whole country can't be evacuated, duh. And again, why would Tokyo be when it was not affected? There were enough problems finding support for actual displaced people. Trust me, I know these exact types of foreign execs (yes, female too) stationed in Tokyo and at that time they said so many horrible things about actual victims of this disaster in the actual affect areas ("backwards" rural areas far away from Tokyo), I really don't care about their unfounded paranoia while others who were actually in the sh- literally lost everything, including lives.
