The host is an absolute misogynistic nightmare. How in earth did this get made?

Good grief, I persevered to episode three but I just can't stand it...

I'm maybe really privileged, so this is probably not my rights to say or tell what is wrong or right. But I still can't believe that Netflix has this one their page, allowing people to watch /stream. So the co-host Atsushi Tamura is often very manchovonist in his thoughts and how he presents the women in the show.

Even though the show trying to be more modern and European or like Western countries, they hole things seems so outdated. The women should be like 1920s. And the men are just ok, almost no matter what they do.

I really enjoyed watching all episodes in a row. The dark secrets from the contestants are revealed in a nice tempo and keeps you interested in the whole affair. Contestants give the impression to be genuine and their stories also.. I will definitely watch next season when available.

The male host would insult all the female contestants until they cried, fantasising about sexual abuse and outright harassing them. It was even more disgusting to hear victims of abuse be told that it was their fault (if they were women). I hope he meets legal repercussions for his behaviour.

The show is tagged as LGBT on Netflix despite the hosts constantly ripping down a contestant for being trans and misgendering her. The program is a huge bummer as all the men on the show seem to do whatever they want at womens' expense. I completely understand why female sex workers refused to go through with participating on the program having seen how belittled and bullied the female contestants were for much less taboo secrets.

This show has quite an interesting concept and it is entertaining. However, the way the topics are addressed is disrespectful and lackluster. The hosts are rude and make really inappropriate comments all the time. I found this show misogynistic and gender aggressive, sadly, this is a portray of the way Japanese society views certain themes in an old fashion manner.

Additionally, I can't believe how this show is on Netflix and there are no consequences on the hosts or how they treated the participants. Especially, Atsushi Tamura was painful to watch, he was cruel to the participants and disrespectful to Mari Yagushi reveling aspects of her personal life. The line between trying to be funny and be plain rude never felt so thin.
