What I thought Japan was:

What Japan is really like:

Rape and mutilation (Wikipedia)

The International Military Tribunal for the Far East estimated that 20,000 women, including some children and the elderly, were raped during the occupation. A large number of rapes were done systematically by the Japanese soldiers as they went from door to door, searching for girls, with many women being captured and gang-raped. The women were often killed immediately after being raped, often through explicit mutilation, such as by penetrating vaginas with bayonets, long sticks of bamboo, or other objects.

Unit 731: Japan’s Secret Biological and Chemical Research Development Unit (Wikipedia)

Unit 731 experimented on humans and then vivisected them. Vivisection is dissection when the organism is alive.

Thousands of men, women, children and infants interned at prisoner of war camps were subjected to vivisection, often without anesthesia and usually ending with the death of the victim. In a video interview, former Unit member Okawa Fukumatsu admitted to having vivisected a pregnant woman.

The victims were called “logs”:

“Vivisecting logs”

Okay, that’s bad. But the logs were just their prisoners of war, right?

Wrong. Unfortunately, even the Japanese doing the vivisecting were not safe from the Japanese doing the vivisecting:

But the USA prosecuted Nazis for war crimes; they must have also tried the Japanese, right? Wrong:

The researchers in Unit 731 were secretly given immunity by the United States in exchange for the data which they gathered during their human experimentation.

But not to fear. The Japanese are nerfed forever; the postwar constitution forbids them from having an army.

That’s not so bad. They must deeply regret their past actions, like the Germans do.

That’s not great, but not the end of the world. They’re not getting more aggressive, are they?

The cover on the left is 2020; the cover on the right is 2021.

Wow. Ok, but if this gets really bad, we could pull a Hiroshima-Nagasaki, right? Japan isn’t a nuclear power.

GG.

Rape of Nanking: Wikipedia

The author of the Rape of Nanking killed herself… because it was so horrifying?

Chang, who lived in San Jose, shot herself to death Nov. 9 in her car, parked along a rural road south of Los Gatos… “The subject matter had to affect her. Perhaps she could not bear it,” Duan says, her eyes filling with tears as she pulls out a picture of herself and Chang at a dinner in Nanjing.

Iris Chang’s suicide stunned those she tried so hard to help – the survivors of Japan’s ‘Rape of Nanking’
