If you don't know what a Kei Car is, it's a Japanese class of vehicles that are super tiny and limited to 63hp. They are typically cute and/or crazy and make affordable enthusiast cars.
Recently they've been very popular as cheap light farm trucks.
To import a car into the US it needs to be 25 years old because of stupid laws. Orange site cannot believe we would do something so dangerous as allow cars with outdated safety standards on the road - after all, you might hurt yourself! 
I feel like this sort of thing is a fantastic illustration of the irresponsible level which most drivers (in the US at least; can't speak to other countries) feel that they are just so so good at driving that they believe all these safety features are fine to go without.
Sure, this is presumably not your sole vehicle or daily driver. And sure, you're not going to be taking one of these on a 65mph highway. But a 30mph head-on collision with another vehicle will almost certainly kill you in one of these trucks. And I know if I was the driver of the other vehicle, and survived, even if I wasn't the one at fault, I'd probably need years of expensive therapy to get past it all.
If this is too 
for you, he's mad because he's afraid he'll need therapy after killing you because of your car choice.
This moron wants you to give up your fun car because he's afraid he'll need therapy. I just wanted to repeat that.
If safety was a primary concern for U.S. regulators, large consumer SUVs and trucks would not exist in their current form. As of ~2019 (the last such study I know of) trucks killed occupants of other vehicles at 2.5x the rate of cars and "SUVs" (an increasingly useless category as it includes everything from small unibody crossovers to enormous body-on-frame Canyonero-style monstrosities). I am not aware of any comparable headline figure for how pedestrians fare against them but I would put money on their pedestrian safety performance also being atrocious.
What is it will silicon valley and car-hate? 
I don't understand the anger and disdain from people about others potentially hurting themselves. The only thing I can think of is they are jealous of someone who doesn't have these sort of intrusive thoughts about safety all the time and how they get to do something cool like the OP every now and then.
Fortunately someone has a sane take.
A kei truck is still safer than taking a bicycle or motorcycle on public roads. Do you propose banning those?
Another refutation, what does the site think about this?
Nah, this is some terrible whataboutism. Stick to the topic.
He said the magic word that invalidates all arguments! 
Anyway I think much of the anti-kei sentiment is lobbyists trying to protect the truck market from affordable competition.

Closing the SITE for a DDOS wasn't OK. (
I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the site for a simple ddos wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this site is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.
