I have no idea what their deal is. I tried to listen once but they were too quiet.
One the one hand, it did make me chuckle when I first saw it, but on the other… What about Nazi t shirts? I saw quite a few middle eastern ppl I follow get really pissed at that, cause of the whole genocide thing. It’s weird how cultural/temporal distance makes these things either edgily funny or not at all funny
In a similar way, when I lived in China I would see Hitler and Osama Bin Laden iconography show up in very weird ironic ways. I had a Han Chinese student who gave himself the “English”/foreign language name Osama. The strange thing was that he was actually very sweet and would always enthusiastically greet me whenever our paths crossed outside the classroom!
Needless to say, I’ve never come across a Chinese person making ironic jokes about Hirohito.
Mhmm! There’s the famous Hitler Ice Cream Cones picture in India
