As some of you may know, today marks the 77th anniversary of America dropping a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, Japan.

Much has been said about this topic - how do you feel about this event, fellow goons?

To be fair, America nuked itself waaaaay more times than it nuked Japan, like literally a thousand times

The Japanese try to blame America for everything, but their own documentaries show it was done by a giant lizard with lasers, do they think we don't know about that?

And now they are trying to cancel Alex Jones for reporting this and pretending it's actually about some stupid kids nobody cares about! Sad!

I think it sucked rear end that a situation came up where something like it happened.



Went to Hiroshima in 2014, really pretty area. The memorial for the bombings is good too. It's pretty up front about just how awful it really got.

Would anime still exist if the bomb was never dropped on Japan? Makes you wonder if the cost was just too much...

Anime developed as a response to the national psychic trauma caused by the bombings. This easily makes it America's greatest war crime

Unjustified mass murder against a country that was on the verge of surrender anyways and most importantly to Truman a dickwave at the Soviets.

That's what 9/11 was. They just got confused and chose New York twice after hearing the song.

But then China would be allowed to pick a small town in Japan where they could murder 200,000 people and rape 10% of them. Or we could enslave 330,000 Japanese and work them to death building railways. Where will the madness end.

Nagasaki seems like the most hosed up of the two OP. Japan was already ready to talk peace after Hiroshima, but we dropped the hydrogen bomb anyway...

Although really both bombings are pretty hosed up. 'Lets just drop a bomb in the middle of a city and kill a bunch of citizens..."

At least they didn't drop your posts on Japan. That would've been even worse than the atom bomb.

That show envisioned a brighter future in which we used nuclear fission to solve crimes. Alas...

The bombings were cruel and unnecessary and mainly happened because the US wanted to wave it's dick at the Soviet Union.
