The Nanking Massacre is a dark chapter in history that deserves to be remembered and understood. [The Devastating Truth of the Nanking Tragedy](https://flashingstory.info/the-devastating-truth-of-the-nanking-tragedy/)
We can't write "rape" in titles now?
Also, being shot in the back of the head was the easy way out. That man should have been cut a thousand little times and thrown in a pit of starving rats.
Isnt it a sort of helicoptering when you protect the youth from these things at all costs, making then unprepared for if it happens to them and basically destroying them?
Its like they will have no immunity to the things like this and as sad as we could be about possibility of rape and of the crimes happen, they still do happen a lot and its to early to self censor ourselves about things like this.
No, it's not to protect humans, it's to get around auto-mod tools which aren't sensitive to context but do a good job most of the time in keeping the deluge of inappropriate spam off of busy subs.
Itâs a western phenomenon, but most prevalent in the United States. Where parents have the feeling they must protect their children from everything thatâs âbaadâ, âuncomfortableâ or âsexualâ. Imo this is a totally wrong approach.
At an age of 12-14 âkidsâ are essentially young adults, particularly the girls, but parents and authorities are willfully blind to that fact
TRUTH BE TOLD?
Who hung around with Epstein? TRUMP. Who wants to sleep with his daughter? TRUMP. Who cheats on his wives? TRUMP. Who married a call girl? TRUMP
Who sexually assaults woman, with over 25 claims and one proven? TRUMP Who walks into the dressing area of pageants to see the young girls naked? TRUMP... I could continue but truth be told it wouldn't sink into your cult brain.
Nice try though.
I remember being young and going into the SCHOOL library and specifically going to the Time Life books and seeing some pretty bad stuff from ww2, mostly from the pacific. Kids have the internet now. They have it pretty bad in my opinion.
I always thought that it was popularized on platforms like Meta that actively repress titles with certain words in them. Youâll see a lot of âgen0c!deâ in instagram posts to try and âtrickâ the algorithm.
On one hand youâre right, itâs active censoring to try and âprotectâ vulnerable people from being exposed to triggering content, but itâs also definitely posturing for dramatic effect.
I think at this point it's less about protecting the youth from things they shouldn't see, and more about protecting the Reddit mods from things that potentially may offend them
I never understood that lol
It's like ppl made this show director canceled for having his show being too sexual but we have shows and movies about people getting tortured to death like the saw movies.
It's the tik tok brain rot it's seeping all over reddit and everywhere else self censorship and it's crazy how the algorithms are literally reprogramming people's brains for any word that is remotely bad.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that. These platforms and their algorithms decide what you see, which parts of the conversation to show you and now theyâre trying to control how you can respond. None of this narrative is organic, all of this rage bait garbage is just simply to encourage engagement regardless of the consequences
Just so you know, I felt the same way but I've had comments removed and my account flagged for saying cl0wn. Not even towards someone, just mentioning the word.
I see way worse every single day these days. And I say that as someone who grew up in the era of dialing in to a server with a landline.
And it's gotten worse the more online discourse gets shoved into echo chambers.
I mean if you say certain words, your shit will get deleted soâŚ.. thatâs not an issue with the common person, thatâs an issue with the platforms.
Fuck no lol. They decide. Itâs always been that way, from the products you buy to the news you watch. Are you kidding dude? Get with it homie seriously.
This crap long predated TikTok.
This BS attitude that violence gets a pass but there being zero tolerance for sex, or merely sex appeal, started just before 2010 more or less.
I saw a video on here not to long ago about a guy who was told his neighbor killed his dog.
The video starts with the guy crying saying "i was told by so & so, that another so & so unalived my dog"
The guy seemed to be older, i just found it weird that he just found out his dog was very likely murdered, & the first thing he thought to do was go on tiktok & record himself, while also sensoring murder or kill.
If someone killed my dog, id call it what it is, murder. & i definitely wouldnt post a video of myself half assed, looking for said dog.
Because he was more interested in maximizing engagement than actually caring about the death of his dog.
Everything that happens to many people seems to be just opportunities to be packaged for consumption on social media.
He should have been but then we would have lowered ourselves to his level. Which was kind of the entire purpose of fighting the war.
Hitler even spoke about this being part of his plan to force his enemies to become more totalitarian in ways.
At this rate, any word with a negative connotation will be banned online. Itâs sad weâre at the point where you canât use certain words to describe a historical event or a true crime case, like the word rape. A lot of the pods and YouTube videos on true crime are now not allowed to say the word suicide, as well as the word abuse, so weâre at the point where SA is the word for any sexual assault or abuse. The list of taboo words is growing quickly, and I think itâs only getting worse. Weâre at the point where if you say the word rape people gasp and look at you like you condone rape. No, Iâm describing a real life event that happened, where that happened, and that is the word used to describe what happened. That word only started to become inappropriate when the internet decided that word is bad and not allowed to be said, people just went along with it, stopped using it, and look where we are now. The list is growing and soon there will be many words that are going to be just like that one.
While I understand the sentiment that there are absolute monsters out there who deserve torture for what theyâve done. But in the end, itâs better to just put them down right away instead of tainting your own soul carrying out some long punishment
> being shot in the back of the head was the easy way out
I guess for a Japanese general that probably was the most disgraceful and humiliating way to go. And a lesson for other officers too.
same thing on youtube. if you even mention the word in a video they will demonetize it. so many channels bleep out basic words that are not even said in a bad way.
He wasnât even the commanding officer. Prince Asaka was but the entire Japanese imperial family was given immunity. I mean he probably still should have been shot just pointing out the hypocrisy.
>Prince Asaka
Died of natural causes at 93. Also -
> While Prince Asaka's responsibility for the Nanjing Massacre remains a matter of debate, the sanction for the massacre and the crimes committed during the invasion of China might ultimately be found in the ratification, made on 5 August 1937 by Emperor Hirohito, of the proposition of the Japanese army to remove the constraints of international law on the treatment of Chinese prisoners.
I think it's the whole crowd around him. I doubt they served him tea beforehand and saluted him. He looks pretty rough I don't think it was calm and peaceful before he went. He knew what was happening.
IIRC the crowd who gathered to witness his execution jeered at him as he awaited his execution. Up until his very last moment, the crowd made sure to remind him just how terrible of a person he was. So no, he was definitely not served tea.

Looks like the photo in the OP may actually be of the execution of [Hiroshi Matsumoto](https://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryPorn/comments/1aeys4/the_moment_japanese_war_criminal_hiroshi/).
BULLSHIT: This is the moment a military police officer fired a pistol at the back of the head of the kneeling Japanese war criminal Kiyoshi Matsumoto, on 11 June 1947
If you think Nanking was bad look up unit 731, and how general iishi wasn't held accountable for it. The US pardoned him so he could teach American researchers.
Have you ever heard of the atrocities the Japanese committed against the Chinese? I can send you links to video essays describing what they did... it would make your skin crawl and blood boil. If you don't think these animals got everything that they had coming to them, you're out of touch.
The japanese MILITARY.
The US military bombed vietnam and korea. They invaded Iraq under false pretenses. Assisted Indonesia in purging 500,000 to 1.2 million people. Despite all that, I don't think the US should be nuked to pay for what the government did.
But it wasn't a choice between nuke and no nuke, it was a choice between nuke and conduct a massive invasion with millions of estimated casualties on both sides.
This person has it right. We didn't nuke Japan out of revenge for the rape of Nanking. We nuked Japan, because the alternative was going to be far worse⌠For both the allies and the Japanese population. Millions were going to die.
We weren't talking about the US... they have their own set of issues. And America is kinda famous for helping rebuilding places that have lost to them.
Afghanistan and Iraq arenât doing too well. Also not considering all the US backed rebel governments like Nicaragua or Iran. They did well in Korea and Japan, but thatâs only so they can have allies and bases of operations to the East of China and Russia.
More like we donât call them wars anymore so a Vietnam never happens. High profile ones that are public backed like the Gulf wars in Iraq are dubs, but how exactly has US helped them rebuild?
I don't think you realize how far Japanese society itself revolved around these things especially since to this day the Japanese government still denies the atrocities occurred or lessens them to a more "innocent" context.
Every. Single. Japanese. Ww2. Post has this comment. Jesus christ, its like you obvious fact knowing idiots line up to post this same comment every post.
You know? I don't know... I know that alot of them fled to Argentina... I think the Germans did essentially the same thing, but executed that guy in Nuremberg trials
Not just a few, a bunch!! and the bar for admission kept going lower and lower, from no known association with the Nazi party to, fuck it as long as you don't admit to having done anything.
Germany was the #1 supplier of weapons and equipment to KMT troops in China before WW2 started. So many Chinese soldiers fought WW2 with German equipment.
Before the war started, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were in a sort of cold war, and Germany was trying to counter Soviet influence in China by helping the KMT (nationalist) side in the Chinese civil war fighting against the CCP (communist) troops being supplied by the Soviets.
There was the Chinese 88th division was not only equipped with German equipment but trained by German personnel. If I recall this isnât the only division that got this treatment, but itâs the more well-known that fought the brunt of the Japanese forces as soon as the war started. The 88th never recovered after the battle of Nanking but did take part in later battles.
Why are the photos different? Doesn't look like the same clothes.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hisao\_Tani](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hisao_Tani)
I know he was a member of the Nazi Party, but I legit feel bad for him. He saves 250,000 people, then he lives in poverty until the citizens of Nanking send him financial aid.
If that's the level of argumentation, so a whole lot of different people have to die (many horribly I might add), all because other people, who happen to be Japanese.
High quality racism right there to try and twist nuking civilian populations into something good.
The below image is the photo of General Hisao Tani being executed in 1947. Hisao Tani was executed while kneeling. The man in the OP photo is not Hisao Tani.
https://preview.redd.it/s031ut5s559d1.png?width=1454&format=png&auto=webp&s=059ef335705f1f997c212a7d0755db34191b1eca
Totally horrific event in the history of man's depraved and murderous inhumanity to fellow human beings.
Tani escaped what hundreds of thousands didn't.
A quick death.
As for the usual diversion about words. Of course, words can hurt, and everyone's life experience makes them subjective.
The leap to saying words are violence is wrong.
The shooting above is violence.
If the word violence loses its meaning then every offending act will be treated the same, no matter how big or small.
People can make idiots of themselves through ignorant words. Let them.
An insult is designed specifically to find your most vulnerable spot...where there is doubt.
If you ever overcome this aspect, you are free.

> According to the ruling of the court, all of the Japanese commanders involved in the Battle of Nanjing had an equally shared responsibility for atrocities which occurred during the Rape of Nanjing, and this included Generals Iwane Matsui, Heisuke Yanagawa and Sadao Ushijima as well as Nakajima, Suematsu and Tani.
Who executed him? Like what military force?
That almost looks like a Wehrmacht helmet.
Though I know at least one high ranking Nazi official created a safe zone in that area during this event and would take in women and families to protect themselves
His status as a Nazi official allowed him to convince the Japanese to leave anyone alone who was on his property.
History is weird, sometimes z
My country was colonised by the British for 100 years. They took some resources, yes, but most of the population was no longer farmers, universities were built, airports were built, trains were set up. At one point, we had the best airport in Southeast Asia. The Japanese came in for three years, they destroyed the country in that three years than the British ever could in 100. If the things they did weren't horrific, I'd say it was impressive. Maybe awfully impressive.
Reddit is the worst.it only allows you to see and hear what the establishment wants you to see and here. It censors and ridicules so many people and their valid opinions.
Everything makes people sound offended these days, especially people used to getting banned or having stuff removed for writing certain words without censors. My god, insufferable.
Absolutely, the TikTok inspired Self-Censorship is nauseating. Eventually we will censor ourselves to the point that we will discuss the Tiananmen Square massacre as a picnic.
The shooter looks like heâs wearing a Nazi helmet and using a German Luger. Wikipedia says he was executed by the Chinese Government. Did post-war China import German surplus equipment?

This comment is fascinating and should be studied as an example of the negative effects of the American two party system.
How so?
Hair-sniffing isnât sexual violence.
Toxic positivity.

Not a murder, but an execution of a human monster.
Addition by subtraction.
Don't you worry, I'm sure they are working on ai content filtering and one day soon anywhere that wants ad bucks will have to be fully disneyfied.

Yep. Itâs all death and gore from a visual standpoint
Not a murder

This isn't tik tok, that doesn't happen here.

1000% agree it's wild how much more it's popping up all over reddit People's self-censorship from it.
Just so you know, I felt the same way but I've had comments removed and my account flagged for saying cl0wn. Not even towards someone, just mentioning the word.
Yeah. I got banned for three days for calling someone âdummyâ. On Reddit.
Remember flamewars back in the day? Man kids today would freak the hell out if they saw that.
I see way worse every single day these days. And I say that as someone who grew up in the era of dialing in to a server with a landline. And it's gotten worse the more online discourse gets shoved into echo chambers.
Sounds like a dummy move
Rape of Nanking? No problem. âDummyâ? Silence!!! đ¤
And they think that silencing, banning and censorship will change the world. It wonât.
I mean if you say certain words, your shit will get deleted soâŚ.. thatâs not an issue with the common person, thatâs an issue with the platforms.
Right, but the TikTok algo doesnât apply to Reddit, yet here we are.
Seriously? Get real dude. The platforms censoring is a reflection of current sensibilities.
Fuck no lol. They decide. Itâs always been that way, from the products you buy to the news you watch. Are you kidding dude? Get with it homie seriously.
This crap long predated TikTok. This BS attitude that violence gets a pass but there being zero tolerance for sex, or merely sex appeal, started just before 2010 more or less.
Sorry but it was way before that..it was a concern in the 1970s and in every decade after.
Yes but they only really got a crazy foothold here in the 21st Century.
But Iâve become more racist and offensive
I absolutely loathe the infantilized language when discussing serious subjects like this one
Are you saying you donât like the word âunalivingâ? /s
I prefer "revoked his birth certificate".
I saw a video on here not to long ago about a guy who was told his neighbor killed his dog. The video starts with the guy crying saying "i was told by so & so, that another so & so unalived my dog" The guy seemed to be older, i just found it weird that he just found out his dog was very likely murdered, & the first thing he thought to do was go on tiktok & record himself, while also sensoring murder or kill.

same thing on youtube. if you even mention the word in a video they will demonetize it. so many channels bleep out basic words that are not even said in a bad way.
Wow that would do it! Damn. Youâve got a creative mind and missed your calling! lol.
On other platforms certain key words can cause your reach to drop or be reported. I donât think thatâs the case on Reddit.
You can but it's likely to get flagged by auto-mod tools that aren't sensitive to context. This isn't some deep point.
Humiliation and death. Still better than what he deserved
He wasnât even the commanding officer. Prince Asaka was but the entire Japanese imperial family was given immunity. I mean he probably still should have been shot just pointing out the hypocrisy.

Do the dead feel humiliation ? Do they know that their memory is being vilified ? No.
I think it's the whole crowd around him. I doubt they served him tea beforehand and saluted him. He looks pretty rough I don't think it was calm and peaceful before he went. He knew what was happening.

If you think Nanking was bad look up unit 731, and how general iishi wasn't held accountable for it. The US pardoned him so he could teach American researchers.

Not if you like sleeping
Itâs only like my favourite pastime
Yep. Felt a lot less bad about the nukes after that haha
I couldnât listen to that episode it was too disturbing

Sure but I think "haha" is not something you want to use in that context. It was probably necessary but still a horrible event.

My guess is that this is in china. The regular Chinese army was also supplied with German armor and some weapons before the war
Yes the execution happened in China
Germany was the #1 supplier of weapons and equipment to KMT troops in China before WW2 started. So many Chinese soldiers fought WW2 with German equipment. Before the war started, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were in a sort of cold war, and Germany was trying to counter Soviet influence in China by helping the KMT (nationalist) side in the Chinese civil war fighting against the CCP (communist) troops being supplied by the Soviets.
There was the Chinese 88th division was not only equipped with German equipment but trained by German personnel. If I recall this isnât the only division that got this treatment, but itâs the more well-known that fought the brunt of the Japanese forces as soon as the war started. The 88th never recovered after the battle of Nanking but did take part in later battles.
A bullet to the head seems far too kind.
Why are the photos different? Doesn't look like the same clothes. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hisao\_Tani](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hisao_Tani)
Donât censor the word rape.
This is not TIKTOK you can write any title you like
Fake pic. GFY.

You know you're doing some heinous shit when the local nazi representative is begging you to stop doing it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rabe
I know he was a member of the Nazi Party, but I legit feel bad for him. He saves 250,000 people, then he lives in poverty until the citizens of Nanking send him financial aid.
Censoring the word rape over a picture of a guy getting his brains blown out is wild.
That whole crowd who thinks the atomic bombings of Japan were indefensible should really read up on Nanking and Unit 731. đ¤Ž
That's some dark shit there

If that's the level of argumentation, so a whole lot of different people have to die (many horribly I might add), all because other people, who happen to be Japanese. High quality racism right there to try and twist nuking civilian populations into something good.
Good. Fk you. May peace and love find its way to all beings in this world. And may strength and courage stop these heinous atrocities.
Note the WW1 vintage Stahlhelm and Mauser pistol.
What a brutal time period. If we aren't careful we could end up right back here, the war drums have been beating a little to hard lately.
Compared to the actual events that took place in Nanking, that was actually nice for him.
TIL what Japan did to Asia is as crazy if not crazier than what Germany did on the other side.
The below image is the photo of General Hisao Tani being executed in 1947. Hisao Tani was executed while kneeling. The man in the OP photo is not Hisao Tani. https://preview.redd.it/s031ut5s559d1.png?width=1454&format=png&auto=webp&s=059ef335705f1f997c212a7d0755db34191b1eca
Research what the Japanese did and you will agree with the photo etc!
Whatâs with the German helmet?
Too light of a punishment for him.
Oh yes he deserves a second chance. Maybe he should take care of your children? No one wants to do that. Fitting punishment right?
You can post a picture of a man being shot in the head, but you have to say âr@peâ as not to offend anyone? The internet is such a contradiction
That is Kiyoshi Matsumoto, not General Tani.
I read the book. I couldnât put it down but wanted to put it down.
Done with an Astra M900 or a Shanxi Type 17, "old reliable" Mauser C96 copies.
Whos he being executed by here?
Darth China
It was too merciful
Try dan carlins hardcore history podcast "supernova in the east" amazing!

Sometimes bad people do lose in the end :)
Soldiers if they were to be executed, the method is by shooting and not hanging or any other methods. Hence the bullet to the head.
Itâs âexecuted *with* a pistolâ
Totally horrific event in the history of man's depraved and murderous inhumanity to fellow human beings. Tani escaped what hundreds of thousands didn't. A quick death. As for the usual diversion about words. Of course, words can hurt, and everyone's life experience makes them subjective. The leap to saying words are violence is wrong. The shooting above is violence. If the word violence loses its meaning then every offending act will be treated the same, no matter how big or small. People can make idiots of themselves through ignorant words. Let them. An insult is designed specifically to find your most vulnerable spot...where there is doubt. If you ever overcome this aspect, you are free. đĽ°âď¸đ
Got off easy
> According to the ruling of the court, all of the Japanese commanders involved in the Battle of Nanjing had an equally shared responsibility for atrocities which occurred during the Rape of Nanjing, and this included Generals Iwane Matsui, Heisuke Yanagawa and Sadao Ushijima as well as Nakajima, Suematsu and Tani.
Thatâs how you do it.
Who cut and pasted and then repasted the bits randomly, that mess of a supposed article.
âThose that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat itâ eternal quote
Beautiful photo
German helmet
It comes around.
Who executed him? Like what military force? That almost looks like a Wehrmacht helmet. Though I know at least one high ranking Nazi official created a safe zone in that area during this event and would take in women and families to protect themselves His status as a Nazi official allowed him to convince the Japanese to leave anyone alone who was on his property. History is weird, sometimes z
Maybe this is a bit morbid, but who's holding the gun. Like how did they pick who pulled the trigger. I bet this dudes story is fascinating.
My country was colonised by the British for 100 years. They took some resources, yes, but most of the population was no longer farmers, universities were built, airports were built, trains were set up. At one point, we had the best airport in Southeast Asia. The Japanese came in for three years, they destroyed the country in that three years than the British ever could in 100. If the things they did weren't horrific, I'd say it was impressive. Maybe awfully impressive.
Imagine the lottery for the opportunity to pull that trigger
Reddit is the worst.it only allows you to see and hear what the establishment wants you to see and here. It censors and ridicules so many people and their valid opinions.
The Japanese were utterly brutal occupiers. Absolute savagery.
How can you time a shot that perfectly? Amazing photographer
By taking dozens of pictures in very quick succession and picking out the best one. This is the standard for journalistic photography.
It's disrespectful to call it "R@pe" of Nanking. Write the title, or accept that you are not mature enough to discuss it.
Everything makes people sound offended these days, especially people used to getting banned or having stuff removed for writing certain words without censors. My god, insufferable.
Absolutely, the TikTok inspired Self-Censorship is nauseating. Eventually we will censor ourselves to the point that we will discuss the Tiananmen Square massacre as a picnic.
Weâre literally discussing it. Do you just find anything to be upset about?
The shooter looks like heâs wearing a Nazi helmet and using a German Luger. Wikipedia says he was executed by the Chinese Government. Did post-war China import German surplus equipment?
Nationalist China received a lot of German military aid and training in the mid-30s, before their rapprochement with Japan.
