@lain I feel like this is a cross-cultural thing.

@lain IT'S OBVIOUSLY A FUCKING STEPLADDER

@lain "whoa oh shit ahhhhh oh fugggg i nutted already" words to live by

@lain ok, but what about the OTHER atrocities by the side I DON'T like?

@lain can you elaborate please

@SilSinn9801 @hj @p what a shame, then. Do ee just lost japanese artists and the pedo concentration didn't even fall?

@hj @p @SilSinn9801 futhermore I am not trying to say there should be a legal focus or ban on this kind of content, because despite how abhorrent it is, the only real victims are the people wonking their willies to it, but it's nice to watch a major hub of it get taken down

@hj @p @SilSinn9801 I mean universal among western countries. Go up to your average member of the public in the west and show them loli content and they'll find it objectionable.

@hj @p @SilSinn9801 the near-universal ones about characters who look obviously like 6 year olds?

Some toe the line and I can kinda excuse those but last I heard pawoo was flooded with obviously underage characters that any reasonable observer would parse as a child

@hj @p @SilSinn9801 well then find a non-western domain host if you dont want to be held to western standards?

@hj @p @SilSinn9801 hopefully they can replace it with a japanese artist instsnce that doesnt host drawn child porn

@hj thanks, I get it now

@hj I NEED CONTEXT NOW

@hj american cuisine at its finest baby

@lain They really weren't. The six-man war council that had the power over that was still half-for-war, and they couldn't make peace without unanimity.

The Japanese government was far from a single united front (ask the IJA and IJN), and the pro-war faction was the biggest until the bombings shook it up. Even then, it had enough influence for the Kyūjō incident to happen.

Taking the Iraq example further, it's like if the Iraqi ambassador proposed peace while Saddam was dead-set on holding out.

@lain The bombs, to me, seemed like more like giving Hirohito an excuse. The Japanese people had it drilled into their heads for generations to defend the home islands to the last man and if Hirohito just gave up after the US started winning, he'd be overthrown by warhawks. It took something capable of wiping out an entire nation to get Japanese leadership to step back and take a critical look.

Hell, even with the bombs, a small group of military officers tried to overthrow him anyway.

@hj so I can fit an abrams cannon barrel through the fan hole?

@lain something something vatican convention bla bla war crime yadda yadda

@hj the spooky tyme one was pretty risque
