‘Barbenheimer’ memes trigger anger in atomic-bombed Japan

9 comments

1. Wait we were bombed again recently? What the fuck?

2. They don’t trigger anger… they trigger lazy reporting on a slow news day.

3. I live in Japan. The only people who are triggered are the idiot English speakers who don’t live here. People here couldn’t give a flying f@@k. ✌️

4. Said no one

5. I’m pure japanese. Not that we are angry, but we think those are not things that should rightfully be laughed at or made into a joke. So the discomfort is very serious.

6. Wait until they see how many copy-cat memes are out there and how many of them are being sold as merch on etsy and the like.

7. I first heard of Oppenheimer in the Sting song
   ‘how can I save my little boy, from Oppenheimer’s deadly toy’ the line is, in reference to the cold war against Russia

   Apparently when they rehearsed the dropping of the bomb, somebody said ‘we don’t know what we will do with it’

   Of course they knew then already, that they would use it for what it was intentionally made for.

   Sorry if any of this is already covered in the film I won’t be watching Oppenheimer .

8. But I also don’t think Japanese people at least realized the terror that the Nazis had been stirring up in the West. To this day, not sure why Japan was bombed and not Germany.

9. What’s the difference between two atomic bombs and a joke?

   Japan can’t take a joke.
