Re: Spam's a way to success!
never played 1942 because I can't get the game to run. but what's the anti-japanese sentiment inside? If I remember my history semi-right, Japan and Italy were taking full advantage of how passive the league of nations ultimately became, and the slow responses involved. Japan's actions during this time heading up to World War II could best be described as rape, pillage, murder and burn as their soldiers terrorized China and Korea. And I'm not joking about the first part, they tended to abduct women from those countries to serve as pleasure slaves to the soldiers.
My question is more on how the sentiment is approached. Anti-japanese propaganda was common enough in America that we had concentration camps for japanese-American citizens to stagnate in. I'm not sure what China did during this time, but I doubt their opinion of the Japanese was that high. Or the entire world considering they were apart of the Axis powers. In short, is the anti-japanese sentiment appropriate for the historical time period? I don't personally enjoy softening historical events to be tolerant, it is best never to forget how things were done back then to better prevent tragedies and mindsets to ever be repeated. If someone went off and researched the actions China and its citizens took to what best can be viewed as Asian nazi's. There was probably political cartoons and propaganda that used slurs against them during that time, and that'd be perfectly fine to reflect in a game taking place in the World War II period. As long as it's all historically accurate, and not representing current day sentiments. The Japan of the 1930's and 1940's is far different from Today, just as Germany of today is far different from it's nazi culture and government of the 1920's-1940's.
