Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

Thanks for the context. I really appreciate it.
I can't even fault him entirely for saying that because I've lived in Japan for 5 years and let me tell you that the average Japanese person doesn't know shit about what Japan did during war and a lot of young people don't even know what the holocaust is. I'm not kidding. Comfort women? Nanj*n Massacre? Unit 713? What are those?
I had to explain it to a lot of 20 years old back in 2017-2019 so not to long ago. This is not to say that he's 100% excused, but the cultural context here is very VERY different. Japan's historical education is very different from European or American education and that is a fact. Japanese people are for the vast majority very pacifist nowadays, but they really don't get what happened during WWII.

I see that he likes to portrait the fashion and the rituals (the sasageyo pose) from those regimes. But yeah, for me it's done in a neutral way, so a non anti-Fasci way, more than the propositive pro-Nazi/Fascist way.
IDEK tho. I come from an Axis country so that could be why I don't really see the problem here. I'm very anti Fascist, but I'm very used to the iconography and overt apologism that happens here. Probably why I don't notice the pro-Nazi/Fascist nods in AOT.

These are all good points, and I understand where you’re coming from now.
