Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Maybe because Japan wasnt the country with the crazy power hungry dictator who wanted to cleanse the world of non-caucasians? Sure they did some bad stuff, but so did the US. It was a war.
Edit: if it makes people feel better, I can rephrase it as "horrible warcrimes", I wasnt trying to play down ww2. Just trying to make the point that Germanys role was pretty prominent.
Hooo boy, you oughta look at the shit Japan did to Korea and China, they put the Nazis to shame sometimes
Then again the US dropped two nukes on civilians and every president avoids apologizing when they visit the memorial so you have a point there
Oh I see, Nanking was just some 'bad stuff'.
Yeah, the place so bad it got the Nazi ambassador who was a card carrying member of the SS to start hiding and protecting people.
Nothing to see here.
I dare you to go to South Korea or China and say in a public place.
I watch a lot of horror, but one of the legendary movies I've never tracked down is Men Behind the Sun due to its reputation as being quite a slog. That kind of subgenre is not really my thing; I've not watched Ilsa, either. But when you learn that vivisection was involved and that is something that actually happened, it's quite eye-opening.

Also, when you learn of actual cannibalism - watch this until the end for the mind-blowing twist:

You really need to read up about Japan in WWII (and several decades leading up to it).
Even with your edit, it's clear you owe yourself a bit more research on this topic before making further assertions about it.
