Dictators according to Japan

[Drauger]

I was browsing around and found this pictures of some sort of storybook/artbook that was released recently in Japan and found the pics quite funny, the pics are some kind of gender bender moefication of some dictators :

Hugo Chavez

Fidel Castro

Eh... yes Adolf Hitler

What do you guys think? are the pics funny or just bad taste? here's a link with all the dictators on the book :

It's just a book dedicated towards a specific fetish, I don't see something wrong with that. If it wasn't posted on the internet, no one except those who actively looked for it would have known about this.

EDIT: Having said that, it's not particularly well-done. The people themselves don't resemble the dictators at all!

 

[Rose and Thorn]

I looked at the link and I actually really like them, interesting to see so many dictators in an female-anime form.

I don't really find drawing real world villains in a cute way distasteful.

 

[Cabisco]

All I can think is 'bit weird', I'm not offended or anything I'm just trying to figure out whats the point. This must be how it feels to be Karl Pilkington.

 

[Evil Smurf]

I never new Communist Leaders were kinda cute. I knew there was a reason I am a communist

 

[DrRockor]

I saw this last night on another site and I just thought, since I've seen rule 34 gameboys (I'm serious), this is unsurprising.

I do not like this trend from Japan. You can argue cultural differences all you want, but sexualizing genocidal dictators for the purpose of wank material just seems bizarrely ignorant.

.....
That being said, this is still the greatest thing ever.

 

[Hazy992]

Yeah this is just fucking weird and it seems rather short-sighted of the artist to try and sexualise dictators of all people.

Plus they don't even look anything like the people they're supposed to be

Spoiler: Mussolini apparently

Not really seeing the resemblance if I'm honest.

 

[Queen Michael]

I don't see how they're supposed to look like the dictators. Where's Fidel's cigar?

 

[Drauger]

Mmmm i don't think all the pictures are made by the same artist, btw the female versions aren't supposed to resemble the dictator cause ehh yuck xD, in the pictures you can see some anecdotes fo the dictators, for example chavez had a TV show or something like that was called "Alo presidente" , you can see a lot of info on the "noriega-chan" picture XD, hitler failed painter carer and so on every dictator.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I think the images are interesting to say the least. As for the images to repersent the said dictators? It doesn't really work for most of them well the ones I know so they come across as generic anime girls if you remove the nation flag on it.

 

[ChupathingyX]

I love how Japan screw around (sometimes literally) with historical figures, including their own.

Plus, some of those pictures are pretty funny.

 

[MammothBlade]

Pol Pot is sooo kawaii ~

All those skulls and her devilish features just really do it for me.

 

[DoPo]

Not really seeing the resemblance if I'm honest.

I'm guessing they have the same panties. Maybe.

OT: Well, weird. I mean, it's just sort of random and bizarre. Also, whoever is Horloogiyn Choybalsan

Spoiler: why is she (he?) being fondled by a bear?

 

[SckizoBoy]

Ooh, Japan...(!)

...

*shrug* not much more to say, really. Still, I'm amused... and it was obviously meant to be a piss-take, so that's how I'll treat it.

The one I don't get though is al-Assad... not really getting the analogy...

 

[Angie7F]

Well, these are not particularly well made, but its better than being pissed off forever at these dictators.
I also think it is just a trend since there are many anime and stuff on "what if famous historical people were cute girls" like Oda Nobuna etc
