      Honest question.

      If defamation is technically only decided on the grounds of whether there was damage to the image (regardless of whether or not it’s true), how is any politician able to be critisized in cases like this? How has it gone down in the past?

This was the nightmare scenario for neto uyoku, ‘evil Zainichi Koreans’ meddling in their politics, but when it is revealed the moonies literally do control their biggest idols, they remain silent.
