(Pt2) Censoring BNHA is NOT going to change history..

                      

Part 2 of the "Never Apologize for your art" theme for this week.  The creator of My Hero Academia / Boku No Hero Academia manga has come under fire for revealing the real name and origin of a key villain figure. The name "Murata" apparently in Korea is a term for those who were experimented on by the Japanese government in WWII. Now, that in itself is a terrible thing, but as with history it's done and over with. The Germans also experimented on people during that time period and the medical innovations they discovered, are banned from practice due to the atrocities those discoveries were borne from, but no one is calling for the banning of the Wolfenstein which feature grotesque human experimentation and the possibility of future atrocities of the Nazis in a world where they won the war.

Naturally this seems more like a power play than actual genuine outrage, and Japan should continue on regardless of Kohei Horikoshi apologizing, but that's just me.

- See you Next Bossfight!
