Okay, SORRY for adding to the shitstorm, but OP, realize this: Yes, you have been hurt. And yes, I'd be sorry, because it does touch a sensitive subject. However, treating the whole fandom as superficial people? Being of German origin and seeing how much the Germans have to REPENT/HATE THEMSELVES/FEEL SUICIDAL OHMYGOD even today, YES I want people to get over it. Forgive, but never forget; a nice motto, even though it's really hard to apply, I know. And this comic is certainly a break from the serious part of history, poking fun at ANECDOTES and not war. It's not glossing out the, say, Holocaust, it's just that the suffering is not the series' point. There's a difference beween glossing out a ''non-desired'' part and just not including it in the subjects you treat, you know? Take the Cold War, for example. You want to focus on say, how differently were people's diet between the Soviet Union and Western Countries, and then people get butthurt because you didn't mention the SUFFERING of the, say, Vietnam war. Way to miss the entire fucking point, right? And I personally love the fact that my country gets a break from all the OMG NAZI calls. In fact, if you didn't notice, it's meant to take a break. As much as I respect your feelings about it, you can't be MORTIFIED about this 24/7, right? Sorry for this HORRIBLE rambling OP, but I hope you read this, to see a less, um, aggressive response. Peace, and just ignore the fandom, if that makes you feel better. It's better than creating drama over it and making you have to explain your personal reasons about it in LJ comments.
SORRY AGAIN FOR ADDING UP, WITH ALL MY RESPECT TO THE OP AND THAT FANDOM BAWWW.
