Unfortunate Implications/Quotes
General
Our fox and hound find their long friendship thoroughly obliterated and end up trying to kill each other. Only after the member of the pursued and persecuted race does a favor for his oppressor (when the hunted saves the hunter's life) does the hound grant the fox permission to continue living. |

"All those who feel that stereotypes aren't an issue when creating fictional groups for game purposes are free to take part in playtests for my new game Sambo: The RPG of Stealing Chickens and Eating Watermelons."

"It wasn't just Derpy who was censored [in "The Last Roundup"], but Rainbow Dash, too. In the previous version, Derpy was oblivious, not careful, childlike, yet still felt bad for her mistakes. In the censored version, she's more sarcastic, she sounds dimwitted, her voice is a stereotype, Dash talks to her like a child, and her eyes are less derped. Thanks to her censorship, Hasbro tells the audience that people like Derpy don't exist, shouldn't exist, and/or should be corrected. By trying to respond to complaints, Hasbro only made the situation much worse.

"Blatantly sexist power fantasies are nothing new in otaku culture, but there is one thing about Kantai Collection that I find a lot more worrying: The kanmusu, cute mascots played for maximum waifu appeal, are in fact anthropomorphised versions of Japanese war ships from World War II [1]. You know, that war in which Japan committed countless war crimes. Using these very ships. —Aquagaze, The Unfortunate Implications of Kantai Collection (The Glorio Blog)

"Where other cultures look back at WWII with horror, the Japanese prefer to look away. While Japan's politics around this are sometimes questionable, the people generally deal with disasters by trivializing them, joking about them and, more than anything, looking away. They don't want to forget, but nor do they want to remember - they have enough to deal with in the present, and being aware of the past is enough."

You did not focus on the fan fiction of the Game[.] [...] —Hung John, comment on the first article.

You’d think by now that KanColle is deliberately trying to trivialize Japanese history by portraying their lethal ships as innocent little girls. But you might be wrong. —AhOtaku39, in response to the first article, Kancolle, Homage to the Empire?
