Just wondering as considering the huge metal scene there, I have not seen anyone Japanese in here.

Most likely reason: They don't speak English.

MA just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an a******. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to go on MA, nor will they donate money. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but MA has alienated an entire market with this move.

MA, publicly apologize and switch to japanese or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Pretty sure that Kim Jong Un has pretty rigid restrictions on internet usage in Asia.

Yeah my interweb usage is capped at a measly 50 Mbps up and down because of Kim Jong-Un.
