I’m not trying to debate the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of showing the judge these kinds of pictures, because (1) I don’t know, and (2) it’s none of my business; but in another thread, the OP did ask for these kinds of pictures:

I’m looking for some photos (or videos) of real, ordinary people in the act of “flipping the bird,” “giving s.b. the finger,” “flipping/flicking s.b. off,” doing the “highway salute,” the “Trudeau salute” (in Canada) or whatever it’s most righteously called.

Most useful would be pictures of friends using it without being visibly angry. If it’s you or someone you know and are willing to share the identity (ARC numbers anyone?) that would be extra sweet.

After consulting a dictionary on the English word “childish,” a judge yesterday ordered a university department head to pay her predecessor NT$50,000 for use of the word in describing the plaintiff.

Good one. I went looking for more info on that and found what looks like a twelve-page thread (in Chinese) on Taiwan’s defamation law(s), including summaries of some cases. I can’t really figure out what’s going on there, but Google’s translation function gave me some interesting hints: https://www.taiwan.url.tw/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=834&start=165&sid=32b639c4f2e4389619aca0c296cf0265
