Brother what the fuck are you talking about? What did any of this have to do with the bad analogy you used?
It wasn’t a bad analogy, it was a disingenuous interpretation by other readers, like you. That or, just really ignorant of the relevant history, such as who the Waffen SS were…
So if people want to play the “what about the good Nazi” game with it, then fine, we can skip straight to the source material and inspiration for the Fire Nation: the Japanese Empire.
But again, I don’t believe art has to directly reflect reality. So I don’t consider this cartoon to be a war criminal, but if people insist interpreting it as a direct reflection of reality, then yes, an IJA General would be his historical analog.
Because I said Nazi SS officer, instead of IJA General…?
I’m sorry, they’re both war criminals… Are you saying that using a different race invalidates the analogy about war criminals…?
I’m saying that using someone who participated in the event and only fled once they lost.
Is not the same as someone who participated, won, and then worked against the system they helped put in place.
Go build your strawman somewhere else. Or better. Burn it.
