Around the world, the Barbenheimer meme has helped launch two Hollywood films into the stratosphere. In Japan, the meme isn't going over as well.

While I agree it was tasteless, I don't have much sympathy for the modern Japanese that are outraged here. Japan was responsible for some horrendous crimes across Asia during the war that they still won't acknowledge.
IDK why? They’re two films each showing the history of poison the US has brought to the world. Plastic and nukes. Thanks for bringing awareness Japan.
Yeah, it's gonna be "too soon" on this one for another century or so I think.
- Ahem! It’s Xatter now
Japan probably shouldn’t have fucked around if they didn’t want the US to make a movie about how sad the guy that bombed the fuck out of them was.
- I know imperial Japan did fucked up shit but I hope you were just being edgy and not actually believe that all those civilians deserved to be bombed because of actions of their state.
  
  No one should have to die that way ever, but all Japan had to do was not bomb an American target, America wasn't involved at the time.
