    Mines is mostly anecdotal - I grew up in Hawaii and became friends with a lot of Japanese nationals + my wife’s family constantly has get-togethers in Japan or America. Thankfully there’s several testimonies on Reddit and YouTube that I sadly can’t reference because I’m on mobile.

    I want to clarify as well, I’m not saying the Japanese are bad, I’m saying why Oppenheimer would spark outrage for Japan’s general public. Some comments in this post could benefit from cultural context. It’s not as simple as “haha people who got beat up don’t want to watch the replay”. It’s tragic, and I get it.

    As I said in a comment below, a country’s history curriculum seems to always show the country as a winner, or the victim of an atrocity. Every country seems to be guilty of this to some degree, I just like how Germany handles it: “we did dumb shit, we’re never doing it again, and here’s why.”
