Dictators according to Japan

[Zetatrain]

I don't really get it...

They appear to be just random drawings with a name that happens to be a dictator below it. A few of them wear uniforms of some kinds but even then there's hardly any link to the dictator they're supposed to represent.

Tell me honestly, how many of them could you guess the identity of without those names displayed?

Weird combination... random softcore porn images with random dictator names below them... But hardly the weirdest coming from Japan.

Excluding the ones that are only recognized by the uniforms they are wearing, there are quite a few that are recognizable if you know the history behind the person and/or their country.

1)Hitler (Germany): Was a painter

2)António de Oliveira Salazar (Portugal): Was very Catholic (represented by the nun oufit) and passed many laws that were based on Catholic Church dogma.

3)Francisco Franco (Spain): Despite receiving tremendous aide from Germany during the Spanish Civil War, Francisco kept Spain neutral and gave Germany a token amount of troops during WWII even though Hilter wanted Spain to join the war. So the picture is describing Francisco as being lazy and unwilling to help in return, much to Hitler's dismay

4)Josip Broz Tito (Yugoslavia): Yugoslavia was a combination of six different socialist republics (Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Slovenia, Macedonia, and Montenegro) and Josip Broz was widely considered a benevolent dictator whose leadership held together the six republics. So the caring mother with six children seems fitting.

5)Józef Piłsudski Kościesza (Poland): Is in the uncomfortable position of being located between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Has less to do with the person and more to do with the country, but any one with a basic knowledge of WWII should see the obvious reference.

6)Manuel Antonio Noriega (Panama): Not sure I completely get the picture, but Panama was invaded by the US and Manuel was arrested by them so I got that much from the picture.

7)François Duvalier (Hati): He was a witch doctor

8)Mao Tse-Tung (China): That pose is very recognizable IMO

9)Pol Pot (Cambodia): The Khmer Rouge and genocide kinda go hand in hand. (This one disturbed me a little bit)

10)Bashar Al-Assad (Syria): Originally a physician before becoming the leader of Syria due to his older brother's sudden death in a car accident.

11)Hastings Kamuzu Banda (Malawi): Passed a law requiring hair and beards to be a certain length.

12)Mohamed Siad Barre (Somalia): During the Cold War, both the US and USSR had their eyes on Somalia. Originally, Somalia was good friends with the USSR, but in 1970 relations soured and Barre expelled all USSR advisers from Somalia. Afterwards, Barre became friends with the US and received millions of dollars in foreign aid until the late 80s. So the picture is pretty self explanatory.

And these are just the ones I have knowledge of. I'm sure if you research all of these people you'll see a reference of some kind in most of the pictures. I'm pretty sure there's some reference in the Kenya and Zimbabwe ones and I'm pretty sure I would get the Stalin one if I could read Japanese.

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

Well, if only you knew how sexy young Stalin was, you would've been communist centuries ago...<.<

only the japanese could turn hitler into a demonic little evil painter school girl

Xenophobic, extremely racist culture that was not only an ally of Hitler but also was stiff competition for the Third Reich's kill count of civilians in death camps.

Yea, with that in mind, no surprise that Hitler is viewed as a cute and lovable schoolgirl painter.

Oh come on, you have to be very stiff not to have a good chuckle at the genderbent moe versions of dictators. Doesn't matter what you think of Japan, this is just brilliant...

No. I don't laugh at it. And it's precisely because of what I think of the Japanese.

thats....racist

like my people were enslaved , and the other half of me peoples are being blowed up in the middle east but i dont hate all white people ,

Japanese is a "race"? Here I thought it was a nationality...

Weird...

eh im not going to get into , how society uses words and it still means your still being discrimatory
like how racism shouldnt technically be a bad word
but thats a label, it applies in this situation

but i will get into this, due to my previous statement, i dont give shit, i really dont. you know what i meant, dont be an asshole , just find something to do

Yes, actually. There is in fact a little thing about the Japanse. Mostly, the eyes are slanted. I know, huge difference.

Person with legitimate complaint: "Man, what is wrong with the Irish?"
Moron: "Well, he didn't say white people, so it's not racist. Besides, you can't be racist against white people, anyway."
Truth: The Irish people have a distinct cultural history, and Gaelic culture has been largely eradicated by the encroaching British. Despite people of Irish heritage carving out success in the United States (after DECADES of discrimination there), multiple genocides and attempts at subjugation over the years have resulted in the Irish losing their culture and economic independence, and their economic state is such that if they had greater melanin content and a slightly more Southern location, the World Bank would probably be making attempts to help them right now.

Person with legitimate complaints: "Dude, what the hell is going on in Eritrea?"
Moron: "Well, he didn't say black people, so it's not racist."
Truth: Eritrea has a history of invasion, genocide, and ethnic cleansing that sets them apart from much of the region. They have a distinct gene pool which results in a distinct facial morphology, and their Christian practices set them apart from much of their surroundings.

Person with legitimate complaints: "Man... Argentina... What the hell?"
Moron: "Well, he didn't say Latino, and he didn't say the 'special' Latinos we have to protect... because we all know saying you're upset with Mexicans is racist."
Truth: Argentina, while sharing a common language with its neighbors, has a separate immigration history that causes its inhabitants to look, speak, eat, and act differently than their surroundings.

Person with legitimate complaints: "North Korea is freaking crazy, man!"
Moron: "Well, he didn't say Asians, so that's fine. Besides, the news tells me it's okay to hate North Korea."
Truth: North Korea has spent decades closed off from the rest of the world, and their natural geographic isolation causes them to have distinct genetic traits which are found in few other peoples. Their distinct culture, while largely cultivated by the government intentionally, cannot be found in any other place.

Person with legitimate complaints: "Dude, what the hell is wrong with the Japanese?"
Moron: "RACIST!!!!"
Truth: Moron is a moron.

Even better than....

Super Aryan Hitler?

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.

Noriega-chan is the funniest name I've ever heard. I'm still laughing.

OT: The images are either unsurprising wank material, or diabolically genius satire. Choose your side.

Wow. I salute your attempt to edumacate the internets. Cultural ignorance is the driving force behind all nationalism (sometimes referred to as racism), which is the cause of most wars. I have a question though. What is the difference between ethnicity and race? Is race a broad term seperating Negroid, Caucasoid, and Mongoloid, while ethnicity defines genetic make-up of a region?

 

[Senare]

This is interesting. People who are attractive to me are harder to hate. But all the ones on that list are surely despicable human beings.

So as an exercise for the ones who like cute anime girls in general: how hard is it for you to hate these moeified personas in their cute new form?

6)Manuel Antonio Noriega (Panama): Not sure I completely get the picture, but Panama was invaded by the US and Manuel was arrested by them so I got that much from the picture.

Noriega was a CIA agent for about 20 years, trained at Fort Bragg and receiving an annual salary. The idea was a pro-capitalist dictator who could protect our access to the Panama Canal and help us traffic weapons and drugs to/from insurgents in Nicaragua. Reagan asked him to step down after Iran-Contra. (Reagan couldn't do much more than that: Bush I was the former head of the CIA, so a move against Panama would ruin Bush's election prospects.) Noriega said "no thx" and started buying weapons from Cuba and the USSR.

So yeah, that's what the telephones mean.

Person with legitimate complaint: x
Moron: y
Truth: z

All your examples go "What's up with the state of affairs in that country?" until the last one, which goes "What's wrong with these people?" These are pictures drawn by a few individuals in a country of 127 million, hardly the same thing.

 

[saintdane05]

Snip. Wholy shit, does it snip.

Should I feel insulted by htis?

 

[Warachia]

Out of all of these I recognized... Maybe one or two at most, this isn't clever, they don't look anything like who they're supposed to represent, it's like they just took pictures of anime posters, added a Nazi armband, and said "there, that's hitler".

 

[LetalisK]

So, where's the outcry about how unbelievably sexist this garbage is? Seems ripe for the picking.

Yeah, all of them. Except, you know, the very first one.

This was very instructive. Cool to see that ecchi art can help us with history.

As a contribution: Nicolae Ceau&#537;escu and his wife were overthrown by the romanians (pictured) and executed (not pictured).

Ah, and I also thought that the moe Pol Pot was fucking creepy.
