"I don't see a reason to demonize the mamasans. "
You are of course right that the mamasans have their place and serve a purpose.
I don't mean to attack all the mamasans. Some obviously take extreme advantage of the naive girls, and by that I mean they make them kick back more than is customary in the bar scene. But that is not really an issue that impacts me.
The ones I don't like are the mamasans who show up when I am buying drinks for a girl and try and squeeze drinks and tips out of me. I would almost never give them but sometimes the girls makes it clear it will be bad for them if I don't.
That is the point where I feel the mamasan is doing nothing for me and expecting drinks and or tips.
