As a partially Japanese person (born in America), I am kind of offended by how some people are responding to this.
I do not want to be offended, but I can't help it. I am not going to say it didn't happen or that it wasn't so bad, but a lot of these people talking about the Nanking thing are being way too one-sided with it. The people at the time doing this "evil" stuff are not the people living now in Japan, and those who deny it are not really any different than conspiracy theorists you see in America.
The people who committed these crimes in Nanking, you have to realize, are not doing it because they're evil. It's war, and war twists peoples' minds. Rape, child molestation, mutilation, murder, etc. are things that are done a lot in wars and a lot of the time are undocumented. Just like how the Nazi's were able to do what they did, the Japanese were brainwashed. Why punish the current generation of Japanese for things they didn't do? Why be so hung up on it? Of course it is bad that the Japanese are not writing the history as it happened, and that can really piss some people off but it's such a petty thing to fight over, and I am sure that it isn't necessary to insult and slander them for the truth to finally be available uncensored.
On one of the videos that was linked in here, this is what one of the people said:
"So what. Japs and germans did both evil things. But i never heard that germans did such things, what the japfags did to the chinese people. Also the germans accepted their crimes and today they still pay for it. The japfags, known for smalldicks, childmolesting and strange, disgusting culture are super-inferior subhumans, denying their crimes. I hope one day, when chinese becomes the superpower, they will let japs pay bigtime for it. Your pig-emperor shall be dragged naked through the streets."
The attitude people are having towards this situation is the same kind of attitude that even let what happened in Nanking occur in the first place. There's a better way to handle this.
