Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Why would his parents kill themselves if he is the one who committed the crimes? I don't understand what his parents have to do with this.
Sometimes the concept of honor means entirely too much, but that’s only my opinion.
Asian logic, it is the parents fault for raising a sexual abuser.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
One of Japan’s best-known kabuki actors has been given a suspended prison sentence for helping his parents die in an apparent suicide pact that sent shockwaves through the world of Japanese traditional theatre.
According to media reports, Ichikawa had told his parents he wished to kill himself after learning that a weekly magazine was about to run a story accusing him of sexually abusing and harassing actors and staff belonging to his theatre collective.
The Kyodo news agency quoted the court as saying that Ichikawa’s decision to help his parents commit suicide had been “short-sighted”, adding that his involvement in a crime should “not be taken lightly”.
The classical form of Japanese theatre combines highly stylised movement and unusual vocalisation, and is performed by all-male actors dressed in elaborate costumes and colourful makeup “masks”.
Ichikawa said the article had been only one factor in explaining his actions, telling the court in a recent hearing that he was suffering from stress after years of caring for his father, who had cancer and exhibited dramatic mood swings.
“I caused such trouble to the kabuki world that I felt I no longer deserve to be part of it,” media reports quoted Ichikawa, 47, as telling the court last month.
