I think something similar happened to undercover Jun takahashi a few years back, but it’s not an issue now

Anybody got a lead on the harrier rig down in the light green color from a JP stockist? Looking for a size 3 or 4. Visvim web store doesn’t have those sizes stocked :(

Thenextdoor has a 4 at a discount, which is cheaper than JP retail

Yeah aware of this one but scared of getting killed by customs fees into Canada, if they label the country of origin correctly as JP. Most retailers just do where they’re shipping from but it’s a risk I’ll have to think about. No duties from EU countries but it’s a JP product.

Also, a couple of things worth noting (not making any political statements, just trying to provide more context to the discussion since I’m Chinese).


(1) The Chinese Visvim community is mainly mad because the Invincible store post was posted on the day of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, which marked the beginning of the Japanese invasion of China.

(2) Will this affect sales? Yes. But is the drop going to be massive? Probably no. As previously stated in the discussion, most derogatory comments are from people who presumably never bought or even heard of Visvim until this incident. The Chinese Visvim community is, of course, mad at Hiroki and Visvim, but nothing radical compared to the comments under the Invincible store post.
Sorry I still need more context.

Is there something here that is a big no no either on timing or names etc.

The screenshot with the comment about Abe is very propehtic.

Taiwan is a country. NOT a province of mainland China. It has it's own democratically elected president and governing body, their own currency, military and agency. Please stop feeding into the wumao BS that a lot of ignorant people who don't know much about the CCP's control of the country because of they are believing the propaganda coming out of Beijing. In mainland China it is embedded from childhood, the hatred of the Japanese people in general. something many non asians are not aware of since many of you can't tell chinese from japanese and don't understand how different the cultures are.

the people of spoken and the assasination did not work. A majority has now been elected into the diet to begin changes to the Japanese constitution to allow them to form and fund a military, something CCP China does not want to happen.

Yes, that guy has poor reasoning. He’s trying to be patriotic by linking Visvim's post and Abe’s assassination. Chinese nationalists do not favor Abe because he is considered a ‘far rightist’ in China.
I think most patriotic comments under the Visvim post are understandable because of the mainland education and political ideology. But linking Visvim post and Abe? Nah. Poor logic and reasoning. Not to mention he uses a Japanese-translated name as his Instagram ID, which is quite contradictory if you ask me.

Hopping on a VPN to spam hate comments is a full time job. Can't believe I missed all the drama 😂

I did see he was getting more grief about his IG handle than the post by some.

Vis still blocking comments from their posts. Still plenty of hate comments from the mainlanders perhaps.

Kapital hate comments on IG after the Free Tibet stuff took a few weeks to subside from what I recall.
