#LostLiterature: Jean-Baptiste Camps and colleagues use a complexity science approach to estimate the amount of lost literature among #chivalric narratives, beginning in the 12th century. Agent-based simulations suggest that up to 60% of texts and more than 95% of #manuscripts may have been lost. https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/5/7/pgag207/8724046

Bot Scrapers!

(Ha! I thought that’d grab your attention! 😉🤣)

I SHOULD OPEN BY STATING THAT Ceeteejackson.com IS THE SOLE AUTHORIZED HOME OF MY WRITING.

(COLIN ‘CeeTee’ JACKSON)

Has anyone else noticed a recent, and rather alarming rise in the number of ‘re-posts’ their blog entries have been receiving?

Initially I was well chuffed. Wow, if those blogs are re-posting my pieces, then my hits and ‘likes’ are going to go through the roof. Woo hoo! I’ve cracked it!

Perhaps this was a knock-on effect of recently being featured on ‘WordPress Freshly Pressed.’

Ah. Not so. Despair followed disappointment when over the course of the next few days, there was no discernable increase in traffic to this blog. Zero, in fact.

Still, blogging isn’t a numbers game (he lied 😉) and I’m more than happy that you, dear reader, and another thirty or so evidently bored individuals check in daily to read the nonsense I write. So, I carried on regardless. And yes, more and more re-posts. And yes again, my numbers remained constant.

It looks like the re-posts are somehow linked to the hashtags I use when publishing the article.

So what the heck is happening?

I asked my pal, AI.

Now I don’t pretend to understand all this, but here goes. It seems some bad people, let’s call them ‘spammers,’ build automated software programs called ‘scraper bots.’ The moment a targeted blog updates (in this case, mine) these nasty wee bots grab my content and automatically publish it to their own low-quality, automated blogs (often called “splogs” or spam blogs).

I don’t believe this harms my blog, and certainly there’s no financial repercussions for me, but the aim seems to be to populate their ‘site’ load it with adverts and make a bob or two from advert revenue. Or, they use my content to build networks of sites that link to each other (or to a client’s site) to trick search engines into thinking a specific page is highly popular.

I checked my WordPress settings, and I’m already taking steps that would normally guard against this type of content rip-off. So now I need to do more.

Now, as mentioned, these bot scrapers or whatever they are, don’t affect my daily numbers – even if my content is being read elsewhere. I get no ‘credit.

So what I’ll be doing is hide a ‘ghost disclaimer’ at the start of new posts mentioning to regular readers that I know these ‘bots’ are at work and then link that sentence back to THIS post.

My pal AI thinks this is a great idea:

That is actually a brilliant, proactive way to handle it. It turns a frustrating tech headache into an engaging moment with your audience, while simultaneously setting a trap for the bots.

Here is why your idea works so well, along with a clever way to pull it off without cluttering your blog for real human readers.

It Preserves Your Brand & Authenticity: Regular readers who might accidentally stumble upon a copied version will instantly know what’s going on. It shows you’re on top of your tech and fiercely protective of your writing.

The SEO “Booby Trap” Multiplier: By linking that disclaimer to a dedicated post explaining the scraping practice, you ensure that every single scraper site automatically links back to your “Stop Stealing My Content” page. It forces them to advertise their own theft.

If I work this correctly, you shouldn’t see any reference to this on future posts. But then, I’m a writer, daahrling, not a tech geek … don’t hold your breath.

I’d love to know if anyone else is being targeted this or any other sinister way.

Interesting, though, eh?

OK, perhaps not.

Ich hab es mir angetan ... bin froh ihn gesehen zu haben.

Yu Miri is one of Japan's most celebrated authors. Yet some feel that, due to her background, she has no right to criticize the country.

Alt...

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Immigration and national identity have become increasingly prominent political issues in Japan. Following last year&#8217;s Upper House election, in which parties including Sanseito campaigned under the slogan &#8220;Japanese First,&#8221; activists and researchers have warned that anti-foreigner rhetoric has become more visible both online and in public discourse.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, one of Japan&#8217;s most celebrated novelists has found herself at the center of that debate.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">A growing normalization of exclusion</h2> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img alt="Yu Miri speaking at a microphone at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan, wearing a red jacket" class="wp-image-94700" height="682" src="https://media.unseen-japan.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2EMXFYJ-1024x682.jpg" width="1024" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Yu Miri speaking at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan in 2021. (Picture: ZUMA Press Inc / Alamy)</figcaption></figure> </div> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">On X, Yu Miri, an award-winning author of <a href="https://unseen-japan.com/kanto-massacre-disinformation-2/" id="51844" type="post">Zainichi Korean heritage</a>, criticized recent anti-foreigner political rhetoric in Japan, warning against the growing normalization of exclusionary attitudes. Her posts quickly attracted a wave of discriminatory abuse, <a href="https://x.com/yu_miri_0622/status/2071065612281950558">with some arguing she shouldn&#8217;t be allowed to speak because of her heritage</a>. </p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img alt="Yu Miri X post in Japanese replying that she was born, lives, and pays taxes in Japan and will not stay silent" class="wp-image-94701" height="376" src="https://media.unseen-japan.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/image-3.png" width="598" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">&#8220;I was born and raised in Japan, I live in Japan, I pay taxes in Japan. Every day since I was born, I&#8217;ve been under the influence of Japan&#8217;s government. I can&#8217;t get on board with your sophistry arguing that I should shut up because I&#8217;m a foreign national.&#8221;</figcaption></figure> </div> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">For many of her detractors, the message was simple: because she&#8217;s not ethnically Japanese, she had no right to comment on the country&#8217;s politics.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The backlash soon became so severe that her editor at Weekly Gendai, Hatori Ryō, <a href="https://x.com/WGhatori/status/2071623171498000626" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">publicly came to her defense, condemning the attacks</a>. </p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;I can&#8217;t turn a blind eye to discrimination,&#8221; he wrote.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img alt="Weekly Gendai editor Hatori Ryo X post in Japanese defending Yu Miri and condemning the abuse against her" class="wp-image-94702" height="697" src="https://media.unseen-japan.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/image-4.png" width="596" /></figure> </div> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">He argued that foreign nationals and ethnic minorities living in Japan have every right to express opinions about the society in which they live. The exchange ultimately sparked an online campaign condemning the abuse and calling for an end to the hate directed at the author.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Against that backdrop, the attacks on Yu Miri have become more than a dispute over one author&#8217;s political views. Instead, they have reignited a broader debate over who is considered to have the right to participate in Japanese public life.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who is Yu Miri?</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">To many readers outside Japan, the backlash may seem puzzling. Yu Miri is not a foreign celebrity weighing in on another country&#8217;s politics. </p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Born in Ibaraki Prefecture in 1968 and raised in Yokohama, she is one of Japan&#8217;s most acclaimed contemporary novelists. Over the course of her career, she has received some of the country&#8217;s highest literary honors, including <a href="https://unseen-japan.com/akutagawa-prize-literary-award/" id="58326" type="post">the Akutagawa Prize</a>. Her novel <em>Tokyo Ueno Station</em> later won the National Book Award for Translated Literature in the United States.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yu Miri is also a member of Japan&#8217;s Zainichi Korean community. The term generally refers to ethnic Koreans with long-standing roots in Japan, many of whose families settled here during Japan&#8217;s colonial rule over Korea between 1910 and 1945. While many have since become Japanese citizens through naturalization, others have retained Korean nationality, and many families have now lived in Japan for multiple generations.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite those deep roots, Zainichi Koreans have long faced discrimination in Japan. For decades, members of the community encountered barriers in employment, housing, education, and public life, while anti-Korean hate speech became increasingly visible during the 2000s and 2010s through demonstrations and online campaigns. </p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Although Japan enacted the Hate Speech Elimination Act in 2016, discriminatory rhetoric has persisted, with much of it shifting from the streets to social media. As recently as 2020, <a href="https://unseen-japan.com/japanese-cosmetics-firm-slanders-koreans-in-attack-on-rival/">the head of a major cosmetics corporation used anti-Korean rhetoric</a> when attacking his rivals.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Seen in that light, many of the comments directed at Yu Miri went beyond disagreement with her political opinions. Instead, they questioned whether her ethnic background disqualified her from participating in discussions about Japan at all.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">From political disagreement to questions of belonging</h2> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img alt="Colorful paper cutout figures of people standing together, representing a diverse society" class="wp-image-94703" height="682" src="https://media.unseen-japan.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/pixta_126768071_M-1024x682.jpg" width="1024" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Picture: <a href="https://creator.pixta.jp/@prof2239167">Andrii.borodai</a> / PIXTA(ピクスタ)</figcaption></figure> </div> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Criticism of public figures is nothing new, nor is disagreement over political opinions. But much of the reaction to Yu Miri focused not on what she had written, but on who she is.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rather than challenging her arguments, many commenters argued that her Korean heritage disqualified her from speaking about Japanese politics altogether. The implication was clear: regardless of where she was born, the language she writes in, or her decades-long literary career in Japan, she remained an outsider whose opinions about Japan carried less legitimacy than those of an ethnically Japanese person.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">It was that distinction that prompted Yu Miri&#8217;s editor at Weekly Gendai to respond publicly. Condemning the discriminatory abuse directed at the novelist, he argued that foreign nationals and ethnic minorities who live in Japan have every right to express political opinions about the society in which they reside. </p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">His comments helped shift the conversation beyond one author&#8217;s social media posts. They&#8217;ve prompted broader discussion about the boundaries of political participation and belonging in Japan.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The debate also reflects a broader shift in how xenophobic rhetoric is expressed. While anti-Korean demonstrations organized by nationalist groups drew significant attention during the 2000s and 2010s, researchers say <a href="https://unseen-japan.com/shibuya-fire-incident-japan/" id="88837" type="post">much of that hostility has since migrated online</a>. Recognizing the changing landscape, Japan&#8217;s Justice Ministry has announced plans to conduct its first nationwide survey examining hate speech on social media, seeking to better understand how discriminatory rhetoric spreads in the digital age.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who gets to be considered part of Japan?</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">As Japan continues to grapple with immigration, demographic decline, and questions of national identity, the backlash against Yu Miri illustrates how those debates increasingly extend beyond policy and into everyday public discourse. While disagreement over political issues is an expected part of any democracy, the response to the novelist highlighted a different question entirely: who is considered to have the right to take part in those conversations?</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">For many observers, that question extends far beyond a single author or a single social media controversy. Yu Miri was born and raised in Japan, has spent decades writing in Japanese, and is celebrated as one of the country&#8217;s most accomplished contemporary novelists. Yet for some of her critics, her Zainichi Korean heritage alone was enough to cast her as an outsider whose voice did not belong in discussions about Japan&#8217;s future.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">But the backlash did not go unanswered. Yu Miri&#8217;s editor publicly defended her, while thousands of people rallied behind a hashtag calling for an end to the hate speech directed at the author. </p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">As officials prepare to examine the spread of online hate speech for the first time, the debate surrounding Yu Miri serves as a reminder that the issue is not simply what people say online, but who is accepted as a legitimate participant in Japanese society.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sources</h2> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">柳美里 <a href="https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9F%B3%E7%BE%8E%E9%87%8C" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wikipedia (日本語版)</a></p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">「排外主義」が日本の新たな政治課題に　参院選で相次いだ「外国人規制」の訴え、反対の声も高まったが… <a href="https://www.tokyo-np.co.jp/article/422553" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">東京新聞デジタル (Tokyo Shimbun)</a></p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">法務省、ヘイトスピーチの実態調査へ　ネット分析し対策検討 <a href="https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZQOUF166ZR0W5A910C2000000/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">日本経済新聞 (Nikkei)</a></p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">2026年に始まるヘイトスピーチ調査――ネット社会で広がる差別と法務省の挑戦 <a href="https://fuji-shoshi.net/2025/09/20/hate-speech-ministry-survey-2026/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">フジ行政書士事務所 (Fuji Administrative Scrivener Office)</a></p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">「有名人の政治的発言」が叩かれる日本のゆがみ　「遊戯王」作者もインスタグラムで滅多打ちに <a href="https://toyokeizai.net/articles/-/292614" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">東洋経済オンライン (Toyo Keizai Online)</a></p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

Adrian Seidelman walking home from school in the later afternoon. He's wearing a brown trenchcoat with dark blue pants, a white button shirt and orange tie as well as his glasses. He's holding up a book with his left hand, reading it whilst walking slowly, and holding two other books with his right hand under his right arm. The Street of Meridiana is depicted not dissimilar to late 1980s / early 1990s Buenos Aires, with stone road and pavement surface and a few people walking by.

In Umberto Eco’s "Name of the Rose", the novice Adso enthusiastically exclaims that something appears to be a "perfect Darii".

Philology students were asked why literature matters today. Their answers: almost entirely clichés—"spiritual enrichment," "history textbook," "moral guide," "intelligence booster." Nearly none gave examples. The paper argues this unreflective "myth of literature" clashes with pragmatic value systems, distorts how students perceive modernism.
