>>62249075>Is true yakuza go out of their way to not alienate/hurt anybody not involved in their business and as such are heavily accepted in japanese culture?Yes.
And the Yakuza do serve an actual economic function.
They self-regulate the 'open secret' gambling, porn, prostitution industries in Japan.
When the do 'regulate' and commit violence. Its usually the lowlifes and scum of the community so the Japanese think they actually are useful.
In fact, they go out of their way to crack down on people committing crimes and attracting attention to their business.
They are business men who use violence, but still business men at heart. Fist and foremost.
