Others Tsutsui has gained sensationalism for his humor and views against the social common senses and propagada. On April 4, 2017, Tsutsui was criticized for posting a tweet referring to the Statue of Peace, (The statement of the Ministry of the Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Japan says: (5)＊「性奴隷」－「性奴隷」という表現は、事実に反するので使用すべきでない。この点は、2015年12月の日韓合意の際に韓国側とも確認しており、同合意においても一切使われていない。[(5) * "Sex-slave" - The term "sex slave" should not be used, as it is contrary to the facts.) This point was confirmed with the South Korean Side during the Japan-South Korea Agreement of December 2015, and this term (sex-slave) was not used at all in that agreement.].
