I'll believe it when they get recordings that prove the absence of a bear suit.

But isn't the absence of proof the proof of absence itself? :D j/k

Yeah, it's hard when there is no solid evidence either way.

Comparison of FC2 vs FC5

I was watching it for a while when I read the description where it mentioned FC5 being shown before FC2. So FC2 actually had better realism?

I guess it's official, men are better at being women than women.

It stands to reason. We're better than women at everything else, there's no reason we SHOULDN'T be better at being women.

And I'm getting flamed into ashes in five...

From what I know about Japan, the modern population has put what happened during WW2 behind them. "The past is in the past" philosophy. It was a bad time, but it's in the past. No need to dwell on it. No modern Japanese participated in the conflicts, so it's not their concern. The older generations still tell the stories, but they too have moved on and gotten on with their lives. The American print of Shonen Jump did an article on it about a decade or so ago.

Well I disagree. I think countries should teach their own history, including and especially the darker parts of it. As far as I read, Japanese war crimes, like the rape of Nanking or unit 731's experiments and killings, are not really taught in Japanese schools like Germany teaches its own ww2 crimes extensively. To say, 'well I wasn't born,it's got nothing to do with me those were just my ancestors' is a way to weasel oneself out of the reality of history as the descendants of victims are still affected even today.

If nothing else, politically speaking, things like the Nanking Massacre denial is not doing any good for Sino-Japanese relations.

America is pretty hit-and-miss on our owning up to our mistakes.
History classes go out of their way to remind us of how poorly we treated the indians as the nation expanded across the continent, and actually OVER-compensate and paint the civil war as being entirely and 100% exclusively about slavery(it was definitely the issue everyone could agree on, but not at all the only one).
But on the other hand most americans have no idea that, just as an example, we forcibly relocated japanese-americans to concentration camps during WW2. I grant that WW2 is also around where our US history classes start running out of time and shift into fast-forward, but IT IS KIND OF IMPORTANT.
