    Understandable honestly, in all seriousness. Germany (or Israel, or Poland) probably wouldn’t be that happy about Auschwitz jokes either if a movie about that came out around the same time as a new Shrek or something.

    The nukes were a mass genocide.

      Uhhh no? They were a targeted show of force in order to end the war because Japan was never going to surrender otherwise. “Genocide” implies America was trying to erase the Japanese people entirely.
