: It equates the real struggle for justice of rape survivors with a fictional plot from the adult entertainment industry. The real reforms were designed to address a legal system that often failed to protect victims, with surveys showing that only about 6% of sexual assault victims in Japan report the crime due to fear of shame and stigma.
