I was wondering why the link was NSFW, then I hit the amazon co.jp affiated links. So. Much. Hentai.

 

[Mrs. Manky]

Rafael Trujillo apparently.

Known to be fond of neckties, he amassed a collection of over ten thousand of them.

Well, that explains that part of the picture.

 

[jello44]

Where is Obama?!?!?!

Right here. And you get a free Hillary.

[cosmicblizzard]

Kim Il Sung's moe version does not have a miniscule bit of resemblance with the real one.

Hitler with the hair clip. LOL

The only ones that I'd really call fitting (well, as fitting as this concept can get) are Hitler and Sadaam.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

scust

 

[Mumei]

Amazing.

Hitler would be tsundere as fuck.

Yandere.

 

[rpmurphy]

The only ones that I'd really call fitting (well, as fitting as this concept can get) are Hitler and Sadaam.

At least most of them have uniforms fitting of the depicted people though. Kim's clothes are just random.

 

[BocoDragon]

Is there anything they can't moe?

STDs?

Racial Slurs?

Famous massacres?

Consider yourself challenged, Japan.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

My little dictator can't be this moe!

 

[CornBurrito]

Yandere.

So she thinks the Jews are trying to hurt Germany-sama?

 

[icecream]

Totalitarianism is moé. (?)

 

[Femmeworth]

I challenge them to moeify sexism. Oh wait.

 

[Blackace]

Castro and no Che?????????

 

[N-Bomb]

This is the most bullshit thing I've ever seen.

Someone should kawaii-up the bombing of Nagasaki and battle of Okinawa. It's cool.

 

[ponpo]

Eiyusenki ripoff zzZzzz

 

[Femmeworth]

This is the most bullshit thing I've ever seen.

Someone should kawaii-up the bombing of Nagasaki and battle of Okinawa. It's cool.

Or the Rape of Nanking.

 

[Plywood]

This is because of Moe influencing MLP which has in turn influenced Moe.

 

[Ezalc]

Apparently they have Getulio Vargas in the book. I wonder what he looks like.

 

[cosmicblizzard]

This is the most bullshit thing I've ever seen.

Hetalia already did that.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Castro and no Che?????????

Che never held any office

 

[Averon]

Is there anything they can't moe?

STDs?

Racial Slurs?

Consider yourself challenged, Japan.

Found this on the /a/ thread about this.

[Onion_Relish]

Where is Mussolini-chan?

It's not like I want the trains to run on time, baka!

Spoiler

Hot.

 

[sleepykyo]

Where is Obama?!?!?!

Japanese are too busy listening to his melodic voice.

 

[N-Bomb]

Or the Rape of Nanking.

Well, Japan did that, it wasn't done to them. :\

Saddam Moessein <3

I, too, am almost of this disposition. Almost. However, this is the kind of shit that would be impossible to explain to acquaintances/customs officials.

Tell them that it challenges social power structures and gender roles by portraying repressive autocrats utilizing an art style steeped in displays of vulnerability and submissiveness. It subverts the lionization of power and authority by rendering notorious holders of both as frail and demure in a way calculated to maximally appeal to as broad a cross-section of an almost completely inelastic market segment as possible. That such a demographic is also characterized by inclinations towards authoritarianism merely serves to make it all the more poignant.

It's a magnificent piece of modern art, really. It's commentary on the human condition masquerading as pop culture detritus which is actively hostile and derisive towards the very audience which makes it financially viable. Profoundly subversive in the way that all truly great art must be.

Totalitarianism is moé. (?)

Why the question mark? If you can't adequately define whether or not something is moé, what hope has anybody else got?

 

[scotcheggz]

I saw this on twitter earlier, the Pol Pot one is pretty harsh.

 

[akira28]

Cute concept but really this just drives home how disconnected people can become from these things. People start believing that these were unique moments in time that couldn't possibly happen again. They may neuter the ideas by portraying these people as little girls, but maybe they also take away from our ability to see evil under the innocent veneer.

tl;dr - never forget that even a cute little girl Hitler can be evil

 

[7Th]

Joseph Stalin is pretty cute:

 

[FStop7]

I was just saying to myself that I've hardly been sufficiently creeped out today and then this thread came along and saved me.

 

[Slayven]

 

[Mordeccai]

I'm laughing my ass off at this thread.

Its just making me realize how ludicrous humanity can be. The irony of taking dictators and making them moe is just so bizarre and some of the responses in here so hilarious (especially the this is the most bullshit thing I have ever seen, holy fuck had me laughing so hard because his point is so true) that I have to laugh.

Hitler with the hair clip. LOL

Kim Il is fine

 

[Jacob]

I assume Hirohito isn't included.

Ice cold.

 

[Ezalc]

Kim Il is fine

That's not Kim.

 

[Platy]

That's not Kim.

I was talking about how near a black bald dude who turned into a short haired praticaly white chick Kim Il has a perfectly fine representation

 

[BocoDragon]

[Laughing Banana]

You gotta give it to Japan.

They just don't give a fuck.

In a way, that in itself is kind of admirable.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Oh oh oh....

Polanski's revenge

 

[cajunator]

[injurai]

What the fuck is wrong with Japan. This is not ok guys.

No sacred cows I guess. Its not like these topics can't and shouldn't be approached like this.
