What source are you looking for? That comfort women refers to women forced into sexual slavery for the Japanese military during the first half of the 20th century? That's just the definition of the word. I'm not sure what you're asking for.

"comfort women"... are very specific sex slaves

That Japanese people recognize them as sex slaves. The government, media and commoners.

This means that I want a FORMAL source from the government. And news articles explicitly stating this. And some scholarly articles that analyze the perception among the commoners.

No god-damn Wikipedia.

If I don't reply the next time, regard it a failure on your side.

Jesus Christ what a level of pedantry is this... I'm not engaging with this kind of bullshit, so go ahead and regard it as "a failure on my side."

Fucking trolls wasting everyone's time and poisoning every discussion...

So, no, you don't show your source. I treat your argument as such.

I made no argument. There's nothing to source.

You're trying to start a kindergarten-level fight and I'm not interested in engaging in that kind of behavior. I'm here for discussion, not pedantry.

Go waste someone else's time with your trolling.

You made an argument. I'm demanding the source of your argument.

Keep on going like I didn't twice already say I'm not interested in engaging in trollish pedantry.

I'll take your words seriously after you learned that calling someone a troll is not a pass to properly making an argument.

👍👍

And you call me a troll. Wow.

I keep telling you I'm not interested in having this conversation with you, and you keep replying and trying to pick a fight.

That's how everyone reading this knows you're a troll.

When someone repeatedly tells you they're not interested in talking to you, and you keep trying to start an argument, you are a troll.
