This site seems to have some screenshots of his twitter posts that have seemed to spark the whole debate.
It's kinda ridiculous though, if you understand Japanese.
Most comments are low quality bad jokes, especially since they don't really hint at the country itself, just use the Kanji that can be read the same way.
Yes, he uses the Kanji 虫/蟲(mushi is the kun-yomi, chuu the on-yomi, which is the same as of 中[middle/center]) and 姦(midara is the only non-verbal kun-yomi, kan and ken are the on-yomi, kan is also the on-yomi of 韓[Korea]), but he properly uses the right Kanji in the historical context posts.
Also, the Kanji 姦 does not mean rape. It means evil (woman), adulterer/adulteress. The verb 姦する means to commit adultery by consent or by rape. So Kankoku would translate as "land of adultery" or "land of evil women", not as "land of rape".
The one thing in his posts that is very nasty to say is that Japan greatest misfortune is that lies next to the country of adultery, the dwelling place of the worst creatures in the world [世界最悪の動物].
He also occasionally uses the word 猿 (saru = monkey) to describe the dwellers of the land of adultery.
It's strange that the people are in outrage,though, but still sell the Qur'an that does the same to Jews and Christians, who are deemed as the "worst of creatures" (Surah 98:6: "Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islam, the Quran and Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikun will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures." ).
Some of the Jews even have been transformed to pigs and apes according to Muhammad (Surah 2:65-66 :"And you know well the story of those among you who broke Sabbath. We said to them: "Be apes—despised and hated by all." 66 Thus We made their end a warning to the people of their time and succeeding generation, and an admonition for God-fearing people.";
Surah 5:60 : "Say (O Muhammad SAW to the people of the Scripture): "Shall I inform you of something worse than that, regarding the recompense from Allah: those (Jews) who incurred the Curse of Allah and His Wrath, those of whom (some) He transformed into monkeys and swines, those who worshipped Taghut (false deities); such are worse in rank (on the Day of Resurrection in the Hellfire), and far more astray from the Right Path (in the life of this world)".")
Of course this doesn't mean that his posts are excused, but we have seen far worse on Twitter without any serious consequences, so it is strange that people lashed out so much in this case .
Oh, and by the way, his tweets seemingly cannot be racist by either definition of the term ( first one is the standard definition of creating a system of racial superiority and inferiority, the second one is the anti-white narrative one that is used as a slur against white people to shut down any form of criticism against non-white people) because
1. He probably is an East Asian, and the people he talks badly about belong to the same race as himself, so if he was truly making his own race inferior, then what was the point of putting Japan above China and Korea?
2. If he's East Asian, then he isn't White, so he cannot be subject to the anti-white slur, which is the second, postmodern definition of "racist"
So no matter which terminology you are using, it makes no sense to use the term racism, it's supremacy if anything.
