A Japanese politician says she received more than 8,000 death threats after proposing free sanitary pads in public toilets. Ayaka Yoshida, a 27-year-old member of the Japanese Communist Party, posted on X on 25 March that she had "suddenly got my period today and it was a problem". "I want sanitary napkins to be available everywhere, like toilet paper."
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.
