Tried to join a block, they said sorry you have to go to the starting point to register first. 🙇

Queer creatures should not have to suffer red tape.

Probably because it is Japan and its bureaucratic culture.

[–] oce@jlai.lu 5 points 5 days ago

Also, "public demonstrations are scary" culture. You have to register, the parade is cut into small blocks of about 50 m and at least 50 m apart, no music trucks, a lot of the groups represent specific corporations, the traffic is not cut so it has to cohabit with the cars, managed by ropes and whistling copes. Kinda asphyxiating compared to western parades. But well, it's Japan, the fact that it can happen, even in this form, is a win.

We mean, sure. Still feels wrong to us though.

...you have to register? O.o

The main event is in Yoyogi park, near the NHK hall

[–] oce@jlai.lu 2 points 5 days ago

I went there then, but I wanted to join the parade first.

[–] zagaberoo@beehaw.org 2 points 6 days ago

That's a really nice spot for it.

[–] oce@jlai.lu 6 points 6 days ago

I'll check it out. If you see a yellow wild cat with dark spots.
