        The name of the sea between them is causing turmoil in the SK society, because everyone else is calling it “Sea of Japan”.

        that and the fact that the Japanese are absolute dicks about the SK women they enslaved for sex some 70 years ago

          Everybody else has been calling it “Sea of Japan” for a really ling time by now.

          AFAIK, seas normally take the name of the land that is closing them, and gulfs take the name of the land that is around them.

          Now, about their constant Empire apology, yeah, Koreans are in their right to be really pissed of. The entire world should be.

              Just remember that every time you see the sun flag in an anime, that it’s the symbol of a government that the fucking Nazis wrote home scared about their monstrosity and disrespect for the lives of other people.

      Thanks for the context, from an American who tries not to read the news because my doctor reccomended that as an alternative to suicide. This whole place is fucked.
