A: Hey there! Did you catch the news?

B: No, what's up?

A: So, there was a court case in Japan about a guy who used -chan at work, and some people are saying it's sexual harassment now.

B: Hmm, that sounds interesting. But it's not just using -chan, right?

B: Makes sense. Thanks for sharing that with me! Let's keep an eye on this case, though. It might be worth discussing more in our friend group.
