I kinda doubt the US military made the most empathetic possible decision to ensure the best, most moral outcome in an age where nazi soldiers in propaganda posters were drawn as just "bad people" & nonwhite enemy ethnicities were drawn as fucked up animals

the allies did mass rapes in germany and germans were still viewed as brainwashed human beings

"no, these people HATE the west and want america DESTROYED!" I don't see that. would people here say "American cartoons only exist to whitewash the US government's crimes abroad" like they do with anime? no because they view individual Americans as people & Japan as monolithic

"lol you like anime? here's the wiki article for unit 731 ya fuckin weeb" imagine listing US war crimes to someone who says they like Spongebob. one is surreal the other is typical internet behavior

guys I literally talked before about how the atrocities done to german civilians aren't talked about enough. this is the first time I brought this up specifically because I thought it was a non-issue until a Nolan film gave everyone brain aids

wonder what the difference between these images is. must be nothing https://t.co/NVOiMXOEZ2

I think the civilians were victims of both their government and the US'

same goes for german civilians btw

this is a far more reasonable point than "look they drew hitler as a skunk"

the people mad at me are trying to say there's no way race played a part in a world event 78 years ago while being epic funny twitter racists

I'm not even saying I'm 100% absolutely correct, no way around it; just that it's hard to imagine '45 america doing a humanistic nuking

valid point, and again that stuff wasn't good. I don't agree with "ww2 allied forces were le epic heroic nazi punchers" either
