Do you think Japan have erased their past?

I was watching a video on Youtube about dolphins looking and admiring themselves in the mirror when I encountered a comment that reminded me about the whaling in Japan. This made me feel sad because these animals are not doing anything to them but they kill them because it’s their “tradition”.

Then, I saw blood in my mind and I remembered reading my country’s history back in World War II on how bloodthirsty and disgusting they are for killing, bayoneting, beheading and shooting their prisoners for no reason. They also raped and killed a lot of our women but Japan denies they raped these women and Japan won’t publicly apologise to them. Japan also won’t give them compensation. The comfort women left in my country are only 70 or less, they used to be in hundreds but a lot of them are now dead and it feels like Japan would love to wait for the rest of them to die so they won’t have to deal with what they did to our women anymore.

Japan seems to erase the past with all their culture, anime, manga, their cherry blossoms and their Tokyo lights. Now, all the people love Japan. You won’t hear a single shit from people talking about what they did, instead you would hear them say, “it’s all in the past”. I don’t hate Japan at all, in fact I used to love Japan and their culture influenced me so much. I love animating (my dream is to be an animator) and reading their manga, I also know that not every Japanese person is bad, but people seem to forget about what they really did.
