	abstract     = {Since the early 2010s, internet nationalists have been active on Japanese forums, blogs, and social networking services, spreading hate speech and conspiracy. At the same, the involuntary celibate community has gained international notoriety due to acts of mass violence committed by self-identified members. Despite several instances of misogyny motivated violence in Japan, there is little known about Japanese involuntary celibate culture and identity. This paper introduces Grieve-JA, a psycholinguistic dictionary for the analysis of violence, threat, and grievance in Japanese text. The paper outlines the process of developing the dictionary and evaluating it across different corpora representing both neutral and grievance-filled language. As a final measure, the dictionary is used to compare comments from two forums on the Japanese anonymous message board 5channel with comments from Bluesky. Results indicate that Grieve-JA is a useful tool for analyzing extreme language in Japanese as a complement to other psycholinguistic measures.},
