Why were they so cartoonishly evil?
Even Germany wasn't as bad

It all goes back to that bastard, Oda Nobunaga and his betrayal of the rightful protectors of Japan the Ashikaga...

They’re weren’t. Japan was the most moral country in WW2. They fought to bring freedom to Asian countries under western colonialism and destroy evil communism. Furthermore, Japan’s actions were purely defensive in nature.

Nazi Germany was definitely worse. Japan just gets a bad rep because of their tribal, chaotic administrative practices.

Just read about what the Chinese did to their own people on any civil war. Realize that, as far as standards go, WW2 was a very tame war.

The only time wars were "civil" were during the Victorian era, for most of human history it was a ruthless train of pointless murder, genocide, rape etc.

theyre probably american. all i ever learned about in primary school was holocaust holocaust holocaust hitler bad jews jews jews. i barely heard anything about japan except that they got nuked.
it wasn't until i was an adult that i did reading on my own and learned about the war crimes of japan. and it's not like it's because we're allies because obviously we're allies with germany and they loved to talk about the concentration camps. i think it's just because america is a colony of israel and jewish lives are considered infinitely more valuable than chinese lives to the average yank. due to our programming.

>>17961510
mass industrialized teenage prostitution is actually a historical aberration tho. i've never heard of any war where literal tens of thousands of teenage girls were mobilized to prostitute themselves on the frontlines of a warzone. on top of that you have unit 731 conducting human experiments that were so extremely cruel that america covered them up just in exchange for being able to see their findings. and of course that's excluding all the garden variety warfare atrocities like gang rapes, torture and mass murder. like you said those are all normal things in war. but some of the things japan did were of historical note because they had quite literally never been done before.
>>
>>17961522
Yes, I mean, you're also not exactly taught about well poisoning, blood libel etc. etc. Despite the fact that literally the first thing Jews did when they got to Palestine was to poison wells (they admit this openly in their own media and reports because Arabs are too weak to do anything, but they totally didn't do this in Germany and the rest of Europe for thousands of years before despite mountains of evidence).

Western education in general is very Jewish victim centered.

We weren't taught about Holodomor either or any other important war crime.

>>17961534
What sickens me about Japanese warcrimes is the needless cruelty of it. Germans decided they can no longer tolerate Jews in their society so they used well organized trains to put them into well organized camps. First with intention to deport, then, as mass starvations set in, to simply genocide as fast as possible to prevent post-war reversion.

Japanese, by contrast, had no real reason to hate the Chinese. Yet, besides all the chaotic evil mass genocides like the biowarfare intentionally targeting civilians they were just so unnecessarily cruel to the people they defeated. Like picrel, Japanese soldiers raped this poor Chinese women, but that wasn't enough. She wasn't simply allowed to die -an already sordid death, no. After they raped her they stuck a bunch of sticks into her vagina to rupture her womb and make her bleed to death slowly in the cruelest way imaginable.

Not even animals do this. They learned nothing from this. They didn't free their people from subversion by doing this. They don't gain extra land and wealth from doing this. They couldn't even give completely innocent people they hated so much a clean death.

>Japanese, by contrast, had no real reason to hate the Chinese
Well, historically the Chinese were always trying to screw with them. If it wasn't for geography, they would have been like Vietnam and Mongolia which were subject to many, many brutal invasions by China over literal centuries. They were regarded as dwarf pirate barbarians and generally treated with contempt, and shut out from Asia and its markets by China, on purpose, for hundreds of years.
But, China was completely correct about the Japanese being rabid savages beyond the pale of civilization, and WWII is the most obvious evidence of this. It took two million Japanese lives, two nukes, over a decade of warfare and then military occupation in order to get the Japanese to behave in a civilized manner. They simply cannot be trusted to self-govern and so America had to do it for them, since the Chinese were too busy trying to kill eachother.
I think there is just something fundamentally sinister about Japanese people. You read about tsujigiri where samurai would literally murder random Japanese civilians at crossroads, for example, or Japanese guys torturing prostitutes to death. Learning about these things, it made me realize that Japanese people are just cruel in general, not just cruel to Chinese or Western POWs, but that they are just generally sinister, callous and sadistic people, and that the only thing they need is an opportunity to express it, and they will show their real colors. For now all their sadism has to be kept confined to their island, but there will again come a time where masses of Japanese will again show us a fantastic and grandiose sea of blood, reaching apocalyptic levels of destruction.

that's a good point about holodomor. obviously primary school cannot teach you everything, but the fixation on the holocaust in particular is quite strange and the effects of such an education are obvious.

Because that’s what Japanese traditionalism is. If you think Imperial Japan is bad then look at all of Japanese history prior.

The Japanese have never been “good” people, countries just like their resources and products. You will never find ethical and moral lessons from a Jap.

Comfort women were paid prostitutes, there are historical documents that prove this. They’re weren’t forced.
>have unit 731 conducting human experiments
Unit 731 was for water purification and epidemic prevention, it existed to save lives. “Human experiments” is communist propaganda.
>america covered them up just in exchange for being able to see their findings
Also communist propaganda.
>gang rapes, torture and mass murder.
Such as? Give specific examples.

You’re right, Japan liberated the countries of SEA from western colonialism which had never been done before.

Japan wanted to help the Chinese and treated them better than their own leadership did. Btw that pic you posted is what Chinese did to innocent Japanese civilians such as during the Tongzhou Massacre.

Literally the other way around. Germany viewed Slavs as subhuman and deliberately starved Soviet POW’s to death. Meanwhile Japan treated defeated enemies with respect.
>>
>>17961510
Japanese regularly raped and tortured other Japanese to death in Japanese civil wars, and Japanese Daimyo sold Japanese girls into prostitution to Portuguese men, Dutch men and Chinese merchants.

Jurchen Toi pirates mass raped Japanese girls in the Toi pirate raids.

Soviet soldiers gang raped hundreds of thousands of Japanese female settlers in Manchukuo, North Korea, South Sakhalin and Kuril islands.

Your full of shit.

Ancient and medieval wars had rules of conduct, related to oath breaking and safe conduct

If a people immediately surrendered their city, the besieging army is supposed to grant them safe conduct.

Only if the people resist and fight and kill a large part of the besieging army, is the sack of the city fully legal according to the ancient rules of war and its legal for the invading army to rape, kill and enslave


The invading army has the right to sack, pillage and rape the city which refusees surrender and chose siege.

If the invading army accepted immediate surrender of the city and promised them safe conduct, but then broke their agreement and started sacking, raping and taking people as slaves, that was seen as a war crime and violation of the rules of war.

According to medieval rules of war, it's also honorable to just invade and declare its a conquest, instead of making up fake casus belli.

The Japanese violated all medieval rules of war

Japan refused to honour immediate surrender agreements and pledges of safe conduct

Japan made up fake casus belli instead of being honest and saying they wanted conquest, Japan even had Japanese agent provocateur kill other Japanese in China in order to provide casus belli and claim the Chinese did the killings.

Japan raped their own allies and collaborators like the Indonesian Javanese.

Suharto and the Indonesian independence movement collaborated with the Japanese and didn't fire a shot at them.

Japan started kdinapping and mass raping 10 year old Indonesian Javanese Muslim girls in Java, a place where there was virtually no violent resistance against Japan.

Literally everything Japan did violated ancient and medieval rules of war conduct.

No Chinese civil wars were fought like this retard, maybe Japanese did this to each other in their own civil wars.

>Even Germany wasn't as bad
Yes they fucking were. The general Western public doesn't even know the extent of how fucking psychotically the Germans behaved in Eastern Europe. And unlike with Japanese savagery, killing as many people was essential to their vision.
