I don't want to offend but aren't some of you reading to much on this "blackmail" thing? Apart from this Juju acted pretty well, i wouldn't even call that "blackmail" just a spur of the moment threat because she was irritated because Gojou has seen... well everything, i mean even as a man I would be really upset too, i won't say anything about how things will evolve because i just want to enjoy every surprise this story will bring and I know how the manga fans are but be careful to label a character a "bitch" just because one little event.

It is that threat that makes it blackmail.
It is that threat that makes it blackmail.
wikipedia:
Blackmail is an act of coercion using the threat of revealing or publicizing either substantially true or false, and often damaging, information about a person, to the public, family members, or associates unless certain demands are met. It may involve using threats of physical, mental or emotional harm, or of criminal prosecution, against the victim or someone or close to the victim.[1][2] It is normally carried out for personal gain, most commonly of position, money, or property.
Cambridge dictionary:
the act of threatening to harm someone or someone's reputation unless the person does as you say, or a payment made to someone who has threatened to harm you or your reputation if you fail to pay the person
uslegal.com
Blackmail is the crime of threatening to reveal embarrassing, disgraceful or damaging information about a person to the public, family, spouse or associates unless money is paid to purchase silence. It is a form of extortion. Because the information is usually substantially true, it is not revealing the information that is criminal, but demanding money to withhold it.
and even the Urban Dictionary:
To force (someone) to do something by using threats or manipulating their feelings.

@FredFriendly Well, i can't argue with the dictionary definition, but even so there is a little exaggeration from some of you, but i won't say anything anymore, it just isn't worth time from us both to start a fight because of that.

Is it perhaps because of the difference in the culture that I don't react that strongly with Juju's attempted blackmail?
The way I see it, Juju feel shamed since Wakana saw her in a condition which "no one supposed to see *her* like that". Hence her threat to report Wakana, rather than to punish Wakana as in punishment western style or guilt, was to inflict a similar shame instead. Hence why Wakana's response wasn't a guilt when Juju's mentioned how he saw her but instead he felt embarrassed instead.
As someone from Asian culture, going into the prison is not really about the punishment, but about the shame caused by it.

@kdrakari No, she is a jerk. She's merely a jerk with principles. Such jerks are common. Like for example let's take a jerk driving a better model of a nice car, like a BMW. He would look down on people driving ordinary Toyotas or Fords and act like a jerk toward them, but when another guy driving an equivalent car to his appears, he might act all swell and strike up a good conversation about cars. Juju is like this: She has no respect for Gojou or Kitagawa as humans, she only respects Gojou's ability to make high quality clothes and Kitagawa's dedication to cosplay, which reflects her own. So, by unwittingly underestimating Kitagawa's love for cosplay she also insulted her own sense of cosplay. That's why she was able to genuinely apologise. However, beyond that, she doesn't give a shit about them. That's why the blackmailing words came so quickly out of her mouth; as long as she acquires the cosplay outfit, she couldn't care less about what Gojou thinks of her.
