It's sad to see such heavy and sensitive issue getting used in such thoughtless manner. Call me a killjoy, and yes I know rule 34, but I don't think this is just right. Considering Kantai Collection's WW2 reference (Which is very volatile topic, you know), I think stuff like this is flamewar bait.
Edit: I think the problem here is the describing "Comfort Women" as happy and lovely relationship. which feels like more... "active" denial than stuff like post #710655 . Well, You be the Judge.

As long as there are people sensitive enough to get upset over parody, such things will always be the case. I remember a guy that flipped out over images like post #710655 (I believe it was on one of those posts and has since been moderated); to me, they're interesting representations of history. To him, they were vile insults and belittlement toward the memory of the people involved. It's all in the beholder.

I used to be offended by these things... and then I realized that I'm simply being chained (and bitch-slapped) by the past. It's better off to be the bigger person in this case and give the artist the benefit of the doubt. Life's too short to be wallowing in misery and be pissed off at every injustice in this world.

Sorry if I offended people, this is my first time posting something that might offend people...
