To me, the fact that the Vietnamese had to deal with occupations by the French, the Japanese, and the USA, and seem to have the most hate for the Japanese occupation, even more than the assholes who used napalm on them, speaks miles.
I've heard Vietnamese people come up with this or that "silver lining" for the French and US occupations, but I've never heard a single person say anything remotely positive about Japan's time occupying Vietnam (which if I recall correctly was also the shortest of the occupations).
(USA nuking Japan was still an atrocity and should be apologized for at a bare minimum)
Unrelated but theres one thing that i absolutely despise about japan
(For reference, I hate america and americans and isntreals 99999% more)
Persona 5 is a game about being a rebel and being yourself even if the greater society will hate and punish you for it. The character that most embodies this, Ryuji Sakomoto, the actual stereotypical 'high school delinquent' is always shown as the least popular and sometimes outright HATED by the japanese playerbase even though i'd argue he's one of the best examples of the themes of the game?
Not saying that the other members of the phantom thieves havent suffered or arent rebels, but like? C'mon.
The only thing worse than Japanese persona 5 fans is american persona fans in general.
To compare atrocities is to admit that there is a value, and that some lives are greater than others. This validates the mindset of the cruel as an equal opposite to our own. Refuse it. Refuse to value one against another. Do not debate. Do not equate. Refuse the calculus.
butwhatabout soviet holo-dormammu:
infinity kulak ukrainiverses slain every nanosecond, really makes u think
Oh. Never mind. There is a link in the post! To some Reddit dingus doing an, "Um, ACKSHUALLY, genociding Gaza isn't that bad if you think about it!"
... which is about as serious an opinion as me shitposting about holodormammu, I guess
there are a number of horror stories from many places depicting the horrors of ww2 japan occupation,
During World War II, Imperial Japan controlled a number of other nations, including parts of modern-day China, Thailand, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Myanmar, New Guinea, Guam, East Timor, and Nauru
And they committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in all of those places. Not only did they kill millions of Chinese people, they did what the nazis did in Eastern Europe to the rest of Asia and Oceania.
Just take your pick: "comfort women," the Bataan Death March (one of my relatives was killed in this one), Bombing of Singapore, the Parit Song Massacre, the Laha Massacre, the Kalagon Massacre, destruction of mosques and ethnic cleansing of Muslims (Hui, Moro, Suluk, and more), and on and on. The Japanese royal family oversaw most of these atrocities while Tojo took most of the blame.
Had a roommate my freshman year of college that was from one of the more populous provinces of China (don't remember where). He told me that he was actually part Japanese as well, but he did not tell other Chinese about this because he told me it was not looked upon kindly
Something I think about now and then
But you see, they made anime.... Glorious Nippon can't be all that bad
Anime titties really are a marvel of soft-power, that shit is ridiculous.
One upping the genocide in Gaza is certainly a fucking take you can have on Reddit dot com.
Absolutely not wtf. Those bombs are part of the reason Japan never underwent their own denazification because the Soviets were going to liberate them from the imperial fascists.
afaik they were preparing ships in sakhalin to send troops to hokkaido when the bombs went off. like a couple more weeks and we would have had a communist hokkaido. they occupied the kurils and sakhalin within 3 days of declaring war as well

Wow actual Ainu liberation could have happened
You will never have a vacation in the Peoples Republic of Hokkaido
I’m not even trying to be a dick when I say that this is probably the worst take I’ve seen on here. One of the main reasons the US nuked Japan was to secure their hegemony and prevent the USSR from liberating them.
It is one of the worst war crimes the US has ever committed.
No.... I'm Chinese too, but just no..
