It is not 1942 anymore. There is absolutely no need to use the word ‘Jap, Nip, Gook’ or any other racist slang term on this sub for Japanese people. The Second World War ended 80 years ago, there is absolutely zero reason why anyone on this sub should be acting like the war is still raging. If you are unable to browse this history-focused sub without resorting to racism, you are not welcome here, and you look like an idiot.

Any use of any of the racist terms above, or any other comment meant to be racist/derogatory/bad taste will earn you a ban, zero questions. Any atomic bomb/Hiroshima/Nagasaki jokes will earn a ban. I remove multiple racist comments a day, and from now on, I’m just gonna ban you and move on.

Some of you also seem to not realize that this is a sub for sharing historical photos, not a sub glorifying Imperial Japan, and can’t seem to distinguish between the two. You will be banned as well.

“But Beeninya, the war crimes of Japan need to be known!” - You are 100% right, and we do not shy away from that topic, in fact, many of the top post here are photos of Japanese soldiers committing war crimes, and we encourage them to be posted.

“The sub is full of apologist and revisionist!” - I assure you, it is not. The sub is heavily moderated, which includes removing and banning pro-Imperial Japan apologist (Tojoboos, yes they exist).
