Power harassment people call power harassment encouragement

Honoka Ohmoto, who was an idol in Ainoha Girls, committed suicide.

Her cause is said to be that the president and staff of her agency pushed her mentally.

It Specifically has been reported that her job had a long-time limit, and as a result, she was unable to attend high school as she had hoped. 

When Honoka Ohmoto, who started her withdrawal, was persuaded by her president to tell the staff that she had reconsidered, the staff sent a message saying, "If you say something sleepy again next time, I will seriously punch you."

Regarding this message, the office explained that it was meant as an encouragement, but is it true?

Let's consider it a little.


Some people describe harsh words like this as encouragement.

Some people say nudging is a form of communication.

The person who says it, the person who does it may have that intention, but what is important is the feelings of the person who is being done.

And those who justify violent rants in this way roughly weave "real rants" and "joking rants."

Rants of jokes are actually not necessary to them, but they sometimes insert the rants of jokes to camouflage the real rants.

I don't know what this staff member really means, but I would like you to keep in mind that people with strong language have such a tendency.


Next, we know from the smartphone record that this staff member is speaking strongly to Honoka Ohmoto on a daily basis.

In addition to "seriously punch you",

"I don't know what you think"

"Tell me the results of the school's judgment and the parent's judgment (specifically, too)"

"Answer me, bitch!" (He used the word of almost same meaning with "bitch" in Japanese)

etc. have been reported.

It's not a word that adults should use to children at work, thinking common sense.

Some people may interpret it as being close or friendly, it cannot be forgiven even to parents nor friends.

Those who are doing so should reconsider.

In the first place, it is strange that you are working with such language.

This staff may not know the language.

Even if the staff had no ill intentions, he is still ignorance and irresponsibility.

It is certainly important to understand the true meaning of words, but the choice of words is just as important.

If a person dies unintentionally, the person in charge of the company will be charged with professional negligence resulting in death.

On the contrary, the office side seems to have sued the bereaved family saying that the bad reputation was spread, but it is unclear why they say that it is groundless.

When I first saw this rant, my intuition crossed my mind that it might also have a meaning of encouragement.

So, I tried to think about it in terms of both encouragement and power harassment, but I came to the conclusion that when I try to take this abusive language as encouragement, it is the same as the simple thinking of the perpetrator who wants to justify the abusive language.

This is because it is true that he sent a high-pressure message that the company's liability and its discretion would be decided by the court.

It's too naive to say "We didn't mean to" against their own words.


The only thing I'm concerned about is that the lawyers on the side of the victims haven't made much progress in this trial, even though they've solicited support through crowdfunding.

I think it would be better to get a second opinion from a lawyer to sort things out.

The extent to which the office is responsible for her suicide, and whether there may have been something other than the office that was chasing her, are important factors until the verdict. 

But at the moment, I can't find anything other than the office at the moment.


When I saw this news, I thought, "The idol industry is still a place where common sense doesn't apply."

Before I saw this news, SKE48 and others, which I was following, are using blackmail as a business tool even in 2022, calling it "loving instruction."

It is an appealing point to cry and be inspired by being intimidated by the leader.

I understand that it is part of the production prepared by the management, but I do not get a good impression when I think that it is rooted in the power harassment temperament of the idol industry from the past.

And I think that by glorifying rough words, they are camouflaging the real violence.
