Osaka, Japan, Ends Ties With San Francisco In Protest Of 'Comfort Women' Statue
The mayor of Osaka, Japan, is ending its "sister city" relationship with San Francisco this week, following a dispute over a statue that honors women and girls who were sexually enslaved by Japan's Imperial Army during World War II.
The Column of Strength memorial consists of three women in bronze who are holding hands in a circle as they look into the distance. An older woman stands to the side.
The statue commemorates "comfort women," a euphemism for thousands who were forced, coerced and deceived into serving men at brothels near the front lines.
Christ, why do so many people care about some dead whores?
Nicholas Brown
>ugly bitches >no fashion sense >i bet little to no cosmetics and very tanned what comfort they even could give
Parker Davis
I have no idea why Americans care about 9/11, this is Japanese war crimes thread so stick to topic pls ty
Parker Clark
Koreans are disgusting
Levi Howard
Wait... why are they building that in San Francisco and not in Japan if they want to protest against them?? >Are japs worse than turks? I wouldn't really be surprised if a bunch of Chinese and Armenians have helped the Koreans to build that, considering SF has a bunch of those people.
Brandon Lopez
Fuck Japan, South Korea is my best friend now
Asher Ward
Why is San Francisco such a shitty city? And Osaka is the best city in Japan now
Based Japan! We need to stop giving fuck to dead whore and build statues of them

I really don't like Koreans. They don't assimilate at all. not even slightly. They're given so much by the societies that take them in and yet they spit in the face their hosts
Jayden Rodriguez
Japs did it for 5 years tops.
Turk's did it for 500 years. It's no way equivalent.
Oliver Perez
They didnt even do it at all. Korean society is just incredibly materialistic and status is extremely important during occupation, the people with wealth and status to offer were the occupants. simple as.
Charles Butler
White Americans are nuts. You are irresponsible for newcomers parenting where such as cali used to be a good city but allowed so many filthy gooks inhibitants. Cali is now taking over by chinks and gooks and they behave like real americans LOL as if it is their sactuary but they act full blood gooks. Time to kick their asses from your sacred place.
Logan Rogers
>Koreans don’t assimilate
They assimilate here just fine, better than most really
I bet the koreans in ur pic dont even speak english lmao
Chase Jackson
Source?
I know Koreans tend to be as sensitive Turks when it comes to this because it was the foundation of their national identity.
Accept I fucking hate Turks even more. Their woe is me the world betrayed me and my back was up against the wall before A*aturk liberated us is bullshit because they had it coming after trying to genocide half their subjects and Turkify the other.
Kayden Gomez
When's this?
Gavin Diaz
what's the point of churning out statues of whores in foreign countries anyway?

lel you don't know anything about korea, turkey, or politics and history for that matter. just shutup and go back to watching anime
Justin Davis
Must be a west coast thing, all the Koreans in NOVA act fairly normal
Joseph Mitchell
koreans and russians and americans did same to our ladies propaganda brainwashed retard
Ethan Rodriguez
I don't know the history of Korea well but I do for the Ottomans/Turkey starting from late 19th century.
Cooper Thomas
>Ottomans/Turkey starting from late 19th century lel. just go back to your anime
>During this period, ROK police forces engaged in numerous war crimes. One report describes the events of December 14, 1948 at a small Jeju village, in which ROK forces attacked the village and kidnapped many young men and girls. The girls were gang-raped over a two-week period and were then executed along with the young men.[6]
>The Phong Nhị and Phong Nhất massacre was confirmed to have been conducted by South Korean forces, while they are also alleged to have perpetrated massacres at Bình An/Tây Vinh,[28] Bình Hòa and Hà My. Further incidents are alleged to have occurred in the villages of An Linh and Vinh Xuan in Phú Yên Province[29]. Newsweek reports that massacres such as the one at Vinh Xuan were described by witnesses as the massacre of children and entire families in an effort to depopulate three central coast provinces, with largely unprovoked and indiscriminate killings that led villagers to join the ranks of the Viet Cong. [29]
>In 1972 Vietnamese-speaking American Friends Service Committee members Diane and Michael Jones looked at Quảng Ngãi and Quảng Nam Provinces where Korean forces operated and alleged they had conducted 45 massacres including 13 in which over 20 unarmed civilians were purportedly killed.[30][31] Within these two provinces the Phong Nhị and Phong Nhất massacre is confirmed to have taken place.[31]
are you asking for the source of Koreans being materialists, of occupying males providing wealth status and safety, or that it happened like that in this specific instance? because no academic is going to sacrifice their career by studying the latter here, but the first two are just the way occupations work. Similar to all the war wives that came back from Vietnam with american troops. America had outright terrible reputation with the locals - it doesn't matter, the men can provide wealth and safety to women who would otherwise live in an undeveloped and oppressed shibboleth.
The difference is that imperial japan was destroyed, the US wasn't.
Adrian Collins
Google "Lai Đại Hàn", even though that might include both atrocities during the Vietnam War and simple intermarriages if I understand it correctly. Some organization named "Lai Dai Han Justice" claimes "800 victims and tens of thousands of mixed-heritage Vietnamese."
>posts a pic with cherrypicked instances of squalid living conditions juxtaposed beside wealthy urban conditions >implying you wouldn't be able to find similar conditions anywhere else in the world >implying the western world didn't help industrialize japan >implying the western world didn't help industrialize korea >implying a couple instances of controversial events is comparable to the lengthy list of actually severe war crimes that the japanese committed
You are right, people have normal brain and norm tend to despise Koreans once they knew nature of koreans. I hope more and more wise whites and other minorities hate them.
Koreans keep wanting us degraded and humiliated just for their shamfur inferior complex in the past. Their intention is vicious and it is nothing but hate speech for specific race and nationality , and I do not get why the world hate activiies and speeches towards us never condemned by NOBODYTto this day and age. Many Japanese children are being cursed and burried for these accusations at some schools in the US. The cali is supportive for those burries and hate speeches in such a mecha of Libelal hypocrites "California". Libtards are fascist and insane they do not have every rights to talk about humanity.
John Peterson
how about you prove you know anything about turkish national identity to start with
did you even read the post you replied to. it wasn't the japanese who helped industrialize asia, it was the west
Andrew Martinez
So Korea was being industrialized by the west in 1910~1940?
Jonathan Gonzalez
I read the 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom' by T.E Lawrence and 'Lawrence in Arabia: War, Deceit, Imperial Folly and the Making of the Modern Middle East' by Scott Anderson, which are considered to be the best sources for the Arab Revolt.
Now what are yours apart from Turkish propaganda?
Henry Flores
gooks are expert at massacre. it's just they are so shit at invasion that they've committed it in their own country mostly. they are extremely cruel when they are in charge especially when they are on the coattails of foreign powers like imperial japan or the united states. imperial japan rarely assigned them to frontline combat units, but gook guards and such were notorious in occupied areas, and the same happened in vietnam with america.
Oh boohoo, have you been to international schools? kids get shat on because of their country all the time. stop crying.
Nicholas Garcia
the west helped industrialize korea the same way they helped industrialize japan. that's why western fashion and style was so pervasive alongside the industrialization of both korea and japan
Jacob Reed
Shows the true nature of the Korean dog and what they would have done had they any historical power at all. Thankfully they didn't kek.
John Ross
No. Korea essentially industrialized itself but it wasn't completely alone.
Japan fucked them up quite a bit in the 20th century but they also pushed for 100% literacy. At the end of WW2 when Japan left 80% of Korea could read and write which meant an entire populace of people that could learn to do more then basic agricultural work.
And when U.S investment came it was helpful but it wasn't as critical as the infrastructure that they built.
Nolan Rogers
>thinks reading a couple opinion pieces about a region makes you an expert scholar and can make vague generalizations about it while disregarding all the complexities
Lucas Gomez
lol korea was made, industrialized and developed by japan.
and the same goes for the post war development of south korea. japan was the largest aid provider to south korea along with the US, and a considerable part of infrastructure and industry built after the korean war involved japanese economic and technological assistance.
>so shit at invasion japan literally lost against unprepared korean and chinese armies in the imjin war. look at all the disproportionate figures between the numbers of japanese and korean troops, favoring japan. yet in a bunch of battles, japan lost. battle of ichi: 2000 japanese vs 1000 koreans - korea won. japan sucks at war. without the west's help and without the west's equipment, japan would've never managed to invade korea and china in the 19th-20th century
Jaxson Parker
Opinion pieces?
The first source is a primary source written by Lawrence himself and while there is a hint of bias for British involvement most scholars consider it completely liable for the Arabians.
Second book is sourced well from a variety of different extracts.
Josiah Price
Genuine question. Why would Japan help South Korea?
Alexander Collins
>battle of ichi That was literally 500 years ago. Battles aren't a matter of how many pawns you lose, it's a mater of obtaining your objective. Might as well say that the French are better at war than the English because of Hastings
Jose Campbell
Russians raped massive German and Japanese women for their booty in the chaotic end of war period. Learn futsukaichi rest home before saying shit towards us you hypocrite son of rapists. Well we wont build such statures just to humiliate Russians and Koreans like forever whinny crybabies. But hey if we continuously stoke you like Koreans do, what would you think of that? I bet you senseless Russians with no agrer management would use hit us hard.
>Given that the conflict was fought exclusively on Korean soil, Korea ultimately suffered the most damage of the three participants.[338] It lost a large portion of its military strength and civilian population, had numerous cultural heritage sites damaged or destroyed, and many of its technological advancements pillaged.[340] In many ways the invasions proved to be more devastating than any other event in the nation's history (even, arguably, more so than the Korean War).[339] The peninsula suffered a reduction of arable land to sixty-six percent of the prewar total,[341] >The total military and civilian casualties, as estimated by the late 19th-century historian, Geo H. Jones, were one million,[347] and total combat casualties were estimated at between 250,000 and 300,000.[348] A total of over 185,000 Korean and over 29,000 Chinese troops were killed, and an estimated 50,000 to 60,000 captives were taken by the Japanese throughout the war.[349]
Gooks are the eternal losers and fucktoys of East Asia.
Japanese forces were completely superior to Korean ones but they bogged down in Korea after shitty logistics and losing bad at the sea.
Zachary Hernandez
no, much of the inspiration to industrialize korea came from american protestant missionaries. the political shift from traditional-based neo-confucian ideology to a modern political hierarchy somewhat changed the perception of the economy and society
Daniel Collins
lel gtfo of here. the west helped industrialize both japan and korea. japan didn't help industrialize or develop shit
>gook fantasy again lol japan easily conquered the entire peninsula within a month or so with negligible casualties, and korea suffered arguably the biggest damage in the history of korea. japan, up against ming china and korea in their home ground, wiped out a considerable portion of the population, burnt down many of its shitty "heritages" to the ground, and enslaved the gooks, and the only reason japan ceased the invasion was toyotomi hideyoshi's death. a japanese daimyo caused this devastating damage in korea on a whim. korea is such a joke.

Lmao, look at all these biased japs making shit up. Go back to your 2chan or wherever you came from and figure out how to deal with asian trump.
Aaron Brooks
>gook using India proxy
how low can you sink
Justin Long
go taking off your proxy loser coward gook.
Joshua Cox
Lets be real here these koreans arent putting these statues up because they want people to know about these so called crimes, they just want the world to hate the japanese. They should be more honest
But now everyone thinks they are a race of victim complex
John Stewart
The Australian flag is more pathetic than the leaf if he isn’t a Jap
>we surrender because our yoshi is dead that sucks back to world 1-1 mario
Cooper Wright
>American flags Zhang Park Takashi >Aussie flags Wong Dong Nguyen >Canadian flags See American, minus Takashi and Park
LET IT BE KNOWN
IF YOU SEE AN ANGLO FLAG IN AN ASIAN THREAD HES NOT AN ANGLO IN 90% OF CASES
Liam Reed
Cali is a bunch of mass victimhood
jews, blacks, hispanics, gooks and drug addict
Mason Davis
>mater of obtaining your objective their objective was to conquer china. they lost. badly
not at all you degenerate faggot. japs were btfo and lost the war unanimously. they even had to pay so much for every visit from korean emissaries that they went bankrupt
lelno. battle of haengju, battle of jinju, battle of myeongnyang, battle of ichi, etc. where the japs got btfo even though they outnumbered korean forces. japs suck at war
Anthony Baker
what r u fago?
Hunter Foster
Just because I call you lot out on your bs doesn't mean I am a gook. It's morning in India. I just don't understand why the japenese folk here on here are trying to peddle their version of history when they don't even learn anything substantial about WW2 and the like in their schools.
Hit the nail on the head. It's been 70 years. No one cares enough for an apology for an apology's sake.
Thomas Torres
>be part of inhumane, subhuman like culture >get called inhumane, subhuman like >reeeeeeeee thats only true about chinese threads
Brody Williams
Shut up Zhang Ji Hyun Nakamoto
Brayden Parker
Disagree, Canadians have lots of Hyuns, Parks and Gooks.
Christian Robinson
>entire nip forces pushed back down to busan from pyongyang >"the only reason japan ceased the invasion was toyotomi hideyoshi's death" lel hilarious
Brayden Williams
lel stop posting, nakashima juanito. you aren't japanese
Christian Wright
the world already hates japs. only retarded, low IQ weebs fetishize japan as their animes and get upset when japan is criticized because weebs get confused and think that jap culture is their own culture
Oliver Martinez
it is, and korea had nothing to do with japanese army's retreat to begin with. korea was even excluded from peace negotiations because it was irrelevant. the imjin war is all about japan vs ming china on the peninsula (ming's vassal). gooks were just busy getting slaughtered.
You are trying too hard Mr.Park, we can see through your proxy
Aiden Lee
interesting but what is the battle Name?
Charles Adams
Yes, at least turks are humans
Ryder Perry
you should really learn better english. all that highlighted text is talking about is when japan and china would have meetings. just like how japan was left out of meetings between china and korea or china was left out between meetings between japan and korea. seriously are you dumb
Robert Harris
look at the faggots with the aussie and brazil flags in the thread getting upset at criticism against japan. weebs are mostly mentally handicapped and actually thinks they're japanese because they watch jap anime
Asher Morris
I do not care the world hates us you pussie gay gook. You are like gay whore flattering to white but for real you are living in fear of backrush hatred turned out to you gooks someday. It is so funny that you gooks are always flattering superiors and masters but you never indendent just like your whore eco immigrant granpa and whore mother. Go sleep as shakes of fears for christ. But wait cant you makeup like k pop gays in your dreams? hell no. I hope you die while in your dreams.
Ethan Flores
These types of asian thread is some of the worst shitposts I ever seen. Clearly some retarded posters wants to trigger the unique jap autism for shits and giggles but the level of tryhard autism from both japs and chink/gook diasporas are unbelievably retarded. It's already given that japs will be triggered and unleash autism to trigger gooks but all I see leaf/mutt posters arguing for them. Why the fuck do chink/gook diasporas defending gookland? Is this some grand LARP scheme?
