Simple and it is a parallel for comparisons.

Kinda like not all Russians were/are communists and not all American liberals are communists?

The western powers would never use racist ape like imagery to describe their white european german foes, never!!!! They would only use it against the poor japanese who were really victims of eurocentric white supremacist racism...

Here is some from WW1 only 20 years before WW2...

And from WW2:

Consider yourself educated...

from what my father tells me the jap propaganda didn't really stick with the civilians he encountered.

when he was a POW they where often used as slave-labor, sometimes working beside japanese workers, while he was held in japan. (he also spent some time in camps in China, most of this I have to piece together from several conversations since he can't really sit down and talk about it for long)

anyway, back to the propaganda. many of the civilians he encountered treated him very well, often risking severe punishment by smugling a portion of their meal to him or other workers, or giving him small bits of news on the war.

the guards where a completely different type though. often people who weren't fit for combat, so they tried to prove their toughness by abusing the prisoners.

he used to tell me when I was a kid that if it wheren't for the risks some of those people took he likely wouldn't have made it.

as it was he was in bad shape when he got out. (185 lb at the start of the war, 89 lb when released)

Aside from the funky cartoonish drawings of Hitler/Goering/Goebels, some weird dialogue, and the fat german chic, thats not too far from the truth. No extremely blatant lies detected here.

What difference does it make if we villified the japanese more?

The Japanese cominted some pretty horible atrocities, and I am sure can compete with the germans with numbers of civilians killed. Just ask the chinese.

Jeez, the way they treated prisoners was horid. From what I read I would rather die then have been made to be in a Japanese POW camp.

In that regard were the western Alies are concerned the Germans are not in the same legue, you they exacuted some allied prisoners, but over treated US and British(and other allies that were not Russians) pretty well.

Sooooo shrecking what if we villified the japanese more? Does that make us bad people? If it does in your mind you need help.

I can find a picture of a snake with a Nazi Swastika on it, or a Donkey with Hitler's face, but I can't find one that says "The Germans" on it. I can, however, find a picture of a cockroach that says "The Japs" on it, and it has the exaggerated facial features of an anynonmous 'Jap'.

Why do some people in this thread think that by having this discussion I am somehow excusing Imperial Japan's stupid and barbaric behavior during the war? I'm just trying to answer Replicant, and troll up some edu-tainment.
