It sometimes seems that the main difference between Japan and the US is we have Furries, they have 2D complex with lolicon.

That was only in the dub, to the best of my knowledge |

Even Japan does not have the balls!
No, no, no. Moe-ified Hiroshima and Nagasaki citizens, with that cute moe look on their faces (that makes ya wanna give them a hug) as they're seeing moe Little Boy and moe Fat Man drop on them. If Japan does that, they'd get major props.
I'm not sure the Japanese are really making fun of them in a negative sort of way.................
Weeeeeeeeell, Obama hasn't yet reached his quota of mass murders to moe-qualify................. (yet).
Oh, we know about this! And of course Bush already got his bush (NSFW)! |

I'm sure only [ditch the insults or don't [post] could get wound up over something like this, which is obviously a gag of some sort.
And the world does not want to read pages of people without a sense of humour, go squick over some gag they don't get, because they don't have a sense of humour. If people disagree with something, fine, but people are giving moral lectures to others just for laughing at something they found funny. FFS.

Protip: Don't get blasted before you post on a forum, because the beginning of that second paragraph of yours was pure word salad.

Well,someone named enurtsol had posted a thing from an erotic manga that had President Obama and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. I'm not going to get too upset over it. It looks silly to me and I'm not going to waste too much time on it.
As for faintsmile1992,his comment is probably directed at someone like me. As I said before,I'm not going to get too angry over the caricature of President Obama and Hillary Clinton. As long as the manga is going after a specific person and not attacking America per se,it's not going to get my dander up. Although the Japanese guy grabbing Mrs. Clinton's breasts may seem a little unnecessary,this is an erotic manga. Stuff like that happens. It may be in incredibly poor taste but that's all that is. It's dumb,it's stupid,but they have the perfect right to do that. I'm not going to waste too much time on it. |

Just how blinkered is your world view that you think only Americans would find issue with this work? |

I'm going to sound weird, but I actually like these drawings.
But that whole Hitler-thing makes me thing about that (fabulous, by the way) manga, called "Afterschool charisma", which basically takes historically important people and turn them into manga characters. And Hitler's in it. And he's just a pure shota. I admit it, in this manga, like the majority of the [few] fans, he's my favorite character. Yes, Japan took Hitler and made him into an adorable manga character. And I'm not offensed. At all. I really like these drawings guys.
Yup, it was only in the dub, and it was just "Great, what is it? -_- Another jew?" And as far as I remember, this is the only jew ""joke"" present in APH. |

Wow. Too many emotions for this one.
As an artist I find this really cleaver in a darkly humorous sort of way. I find it a little funny they reference Hitler's early life as an artist. Totally irked at that's how they depict Sadam and Castro. What, no Idi Amin? And finally, my initial and overall reaction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL77rw1D9KE |

I think they are brilliant. I am reminded of this poem:
Dictators are repulsive and pompous. We ought to mock them, pillory them, belittle them and ridicule them at every opportunity. As the poem points out, laughter is one thing they cannot control. Depicting them as moe girls is sensational. Even if the artists didn't intend the pictures as satirical, the effect is still hilarious. Don't give dictators the respect they don't deserve. |

Precisely the point I made just a page back with the Mel Brooks quote, but I suppose nobody ever listens to the new guy. I can certainly see why people would get up in arms over the book, but their outrage only serves to give legitimacy to what those despots stood for. Filth like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Kim Il-sung, Saddam Hussein, Rafael Trujillo, and Pol Pot don't deserve our fear, only our mockery. However, as I mentioned previously, tarring benign figures like Josip Broz Tito, Juan Peron, and Kemal Ataturk with the same brush as the actual scum doesn't sit right with me. The inclusion of Engelbert Dollfuss alongside Adolf Hitler is particularly galling, as Dollfuss despised Hitler and was assassinated by Austrian Nazi agents for his trouble. Likewise, there are a few other figures in the book, like Jozef Pilsudski and Getulio Vargas, whose historical legacies are overall far more benign than those of the truly depraved individuals they're now forced to keep company with. |

@ Panzer Vor,
I did read your post before I made mine. Think of my post as supporting yours. Oh... and welcome to the forums! |
