After the issue attracts worldwide attention, the bathhouses fight back through the media to try to turn public opinion against the activists.

A national campaign against ""foreign crime"" changes the image of ""foreigner"" from ""misunderstood outsider"" to ""social menace"", and reverses all of the progress activists had made.
