@cassert Amen to this. The first time I heard about WW2 deniers in Japan and about Shinzo Abe, my whole image of Japan was almost ruined. Of course, I was younger then. Now I know they're just a loud minority among Japanse. But seriously, it vexes me. I mean, Germany stands up to their history, Austria too. But then you have some Japanese officials trying to play the victims. Sure, the nukes were horrible, but so's mass genocide and sex slavery. Though, as an American, maybe me talking about warcrime deniers rings a bit hollow.
