#War crimes tw

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I had an ability to summon tiny bright red spiders and scorpions that I couldn’t turn off and I went to the hospital and they said I was violating the Geneva convention by doing this and the only way to stop me from unintentionally committing war crimes was surgery to remove my arachnid spawning ability.

Petiton for psychotrenny to read up on Nippon Kaigi, its massive influence on Japanese politics, and its negationism and outright denialism of the atrocities Imperial Japan committed against China, Korea, and the Philippines during the 1930's and 40's.

I'm not entirely sure how US military bases in Japan with rapist American soldiers = the Japanese government admitting the the Nanking Massacre and Korean comfort women were not myths, but maybe I just need to drink more bleach.

In any case, in own experience, White people generally do not know much about Japanese racism and xenophobia. Since its primarily aimed at other Asians, they often don't care very much, either. And the right-wing chucklefucks who fetishize Japan as an ethnostate utopia like to claim it's 100% Yamato Japanese, even though it's not.

I guess today I learned you're not a war criminal by default when playing Fallout?

Like I knew you couldn't kill kids without consequences, but I kinda assumed it was one of those shooters where everyone was over the top shitty so you don't feel bad gunning people down en masse and thus by default unless you really go out of your way most players violate the Geneva convention as a matter of course.

I guess I'm sorry to every Fallout protagonist except this dude, you're not automatically a war criminal

LOST AND FOUND - did your muse ever lose something dear to them?

DREAMER - does your muse have any recurring dream? if not, what was their worst nightmare?

—for our baby boy baby zax? 👀

LOST AND FOUND - did your muse ever lose something dear to them?

Being sent off Idavay suddenly and without much warning at all, he left a lot of things he loved behind. But most importantly to him, maybe, were his Qulits. Qulits are a common pet on Idavay for children, they're small, round creatures made mostly of gas that are kept in tanks. Zax had a small colony of five of them in his tank, and cared for them with all his heart.

DREAMER - does your muse have any recurring dream? if not, what was their worst nightmare?

Zax has a reoccurring dream that also happens to be a nightmare! While Idavay's crown city was never actually touched by the war, Zax still heard lots of stories about it. The war against Safin had been going on since before he was born, after all, it was all he'd ever known. The dream involves him being taken prisoner. In the dream Saffa have invaded the Island of Idavay and broke into the City and have dragged him out into the mainland island. (Idavains live in caverns under the ground to avoid the sun-- as it is very much still a deadly laser! Suitinrix, their planet, sits closer to their star than Earth does to the Sun!) On the island, out from the caverns, the Saffa tie him to a tree. As the sun slowly begins to rise, the shadows begin to recede... And inch by inch, as more and more of him is revealed to the sun, more and more of him begins to be cooked alive.

**Trigger Warning: mentions of medical torture, descriptions of war crimes and unethical human experimentation**

Real Name: Ji-ho Han (deadname) Also Known As: Jae-hyo Yoon, Coral Blue (codename) Nationality: Korean Hair Color: Black Eye Color: Blue Height: 5' 8''

Jae-hyo is the only survivor of a family of four subjected to unethical human experimentation at the quadrangle known as Unit 731. They were part of the infamous Holzklotz Project and members initially would draw large amounts of Jae's blood due to it's type (AB). He would later be exposed to toxins such as tetrodotoxin, heroin, mercury, bindweed, and ricin in an effort to understand their effects on the human body.

He managed to survive and develop immunities to various poisons, his own body adapting to them much like the evolution of the blue coral snake from which his current codename is derived. Eventually his own body became saturated with it's own variety of toxin, which the unit scientists began to experiment with on other prisoners. They gouged out pieces of his flesh to see how it would interact with other elements such as water and soil- as well as taking blood, lacrimal gland, and saliva samples from his body- all without the use of anesthesia.

When the war finally came to an end, many prisoners were gunned down or fed poison in a hasty effort to cover up evidence of wrongdoing. Jae escaped while the building was set aflame and conspired to take his story to the U.S. media, but eventually learned that the U.S. had secretly granted immunity to surviving team members of Unit 731 in exchange for their data on biological warfare and bacteriological experimentation on humans.

Yoon would later share microfilm he'd collected in addition to his personal account to the Soviet Union, where he became a spy for the Spetsnaz GRU. He served under Colonel Volgin until the destruction of Groznyj Grad and disappeared, eventually becoming a disillusioned mercenary for various PMCs. He is later recruited by Commander Kazuhira Miller and finds a reason to continue fighting: revenge.

-Strengths- Highly skilled, deadly, efficient -Weaknesses- Sadistic, mentally unstable, unquenchable hatred -Featured Fact- Can secrete a potent fast-acting venom that causes all of the neurons in one's body to fire simultaneously, which can lead to nearly instant spastic paralysis.

Testimony from a German survivor of the Bromberg "Bloody Sunday", 3-5 September 1939. Source is German from 1940 so take it with a grain of salt I guess, but I mean, the massacre itself obviously isn't fake.

On Sunday, Sept. 3, 1939, at midday, considerable shooting broke out in Jägerhof. We went into the room occupied by an employee of ours, Paul Berg, in order to get out of the house. The Polish soldiers fired direct into the window. We lay flat on the ground until my husband suggested I should go out as I could speak a little Polish. They demanded that my husband should come out, saying that he had been shooting. I told them that we possessed no weapons at all. My husband had to put his hands above his head. They kicked him, and struck him with their rifle butts. They led him away and thereupon searched my house. Shortly afterwards they sent for the lad, Paul Berg, and took him off too. Paul Berg was 15 years old. On Wednesday evening I found my husband in the same spot on the bridge where the clergyman Kutzer lay. My husband's body was horribly mutilated. The top of his head was completely gone, the brain was hanging out and the eyes were missing. Paul Berg lay in the same spot. I did not look at his wounds because he lay face downwards on the ground.

Dear God. This is one of the most horrifying things I think I’ve ever read.

People seem to think this is fake because it's written in English. Apart from the racism in believing that Arab doctors and nurses aren't fluent in English (a second or official language for half of Asia), Palestinians have deliberately been addressing their audience in English on every social media, from journalists to children, because they know speaking English to Westerners immediately makes people more human in their eyes. Because language is one of the ways the imperial cultural hegemony conditions us (yes, everyone in the world) to see who qualifies as "people" and who are simply a mass of bodies who were always made to suffer and die. Gazans know this deeply, which is why they have been using English to beg and plead through social media, "We're not numbers! We're not numbers! We're people like you, we speak your language, we deserve to live!" all the while they're systematically slaughtered.

Israeli forces also encircled Al Shifa Hospital yesterday and bombed it for several hours while shooting dead anyone trying to flee including medical staff moving between buildings. Not sure whether it's still continuing because WHO lost all communications with its staff there a few hours after. The last new report said that thirty-nine babies had been removed from the incubators before the power went out. It's extremely unlikely they will survive.

Please understand that these atrocities depend on the war of attrition between governments and public attention. The momentum of public outcry is difficult to sustain through repeated stonewalling and bureaucratic intractability. When we're flooded with these reports and a sense of futility and despair replaces the anger, it allows compassion fatigue to set in and the violence to become normalized. Massacring hospitals, killing sick children and openly targeting humanitarian aid workers (Netanyahu just declared the UNRWA is in league with Hamas) will become simply more news articles that fade into the background, and open genocides will soon become part of the "lesser evil".

Take care of yourselves how you can, take distance where needed, but please never tune out and give up on the two million people for whom we are the only witness and hope. Never stop boosting and sharing the news and posts you find, never stop getting out there and joining every protest you can, however small. Anger burns out, which is why activism must depend on an immovable sense of justice and uncompromising value for human life. It's not just about Gaza, it's about the kind of evil our generation will be coerced into accepting as unchangeable and inevitable hereafter.

This is off topic for my account, but I want to help spread this important information.

Korean women are experiencing massive sexual violence by men.

tw : rape, abuse, crime

Secret Man's Telegram rooms were discovered in over 70% of South Korean schools where female students' faces were photoshopped into porn using AI.

A feminist in South Korea has mapped out schools where deepfake child pornography was created by male students using photos of girls on Telegram.

South Korean journalists who wrote articles about telegram deepfake child sex crimes are also being blackmailed with deepfakes by the perpetrators.

They also speak aggressively and disrespectfully about Ukrainian and Japanese women.

tw: child death

The body of a six-year-old Palestinian girl, missing for 12 days after an Israeli tank targeted their family car in Gaza, has been found along with the bodies of two medics dispatched to look for them.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and the family of the girl, Hind Rajab, confirmed on Saturday that all seven people inside the car were killed, with the Palestinian relief organisation saying it lost crew members Yusuf Zeino and Ahmed al-Madhoun in the Israeli attack on civilians in Gaza City.

Family members found Hind’s body along with those of her uncle and aunt and their three children near a roundabout in the city’s Tal al-Hawa suburb, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

Another of Hind’s uncles, Sameeh Hamadeh, said the car was peppered with bullet holes.

“The occupation deliberately targeted the ambulance upon its arrival at the scene, where it was found just metres away from the vehicle containing the trapped child Hind,” said the PRCS statement.

“Despite prior coordination to allow the ambulance to reach the location to rescue the child, Hind, the occupation deliberately targeted the Palestine Red Crescent ambulance crew.”

Gruesome new testimony details one of the worst atrocities of the year-long Sudanese civil war – the large-scale massacre of civilians as they desperately tried to flee an ethnic rampage in Darfur last summer. Witnesses describe children, still alive, being “piled up and shot” by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) as they attempted to escape the regional capital of El Geneina in June last year during a bout of ethnic violence in which thousands of civilians were killed. Together, the 221 witness statements collated by Human Rights Watch offer the latest evidence that the Arab-led RSF has orchestrated a concerted 12-month campaign of ethnic cleansing against Sudan’s non-Arab Masalit tribe in West Darfur.

( 🔥 ) BUT WHAT GOOD did it all do ? did it stop the distribution or creation of delusions among the fatuus -- or even citizens of other nations ? did it stop diluc from sewing terror himself with his own delusion for the four years he was active in her homeland ? he used one to commit harm. he harmed them with the very thing he sought to destroy. did he not have a vision of his own back then ? why resort to hypocrisy to make a point.

SHE SCOWLS INTERNALLY , knowing it would have been just fine for the object of her nightmares to use one but for those who merely had little choice to make them to put food on the table. he was exempt. he made excuses and would continue to do so.

❛ YOU COULDN'T ? OR did you just not care to know. or care to look into the targets you burned down. if you cared to look you'd have known there were on site living for those with families. room for a school of those who had no choice but be born with parents part of the fatui ,   ❜ her hands press against her chest , tone pained as she forced herself to steel her eyes. she couldn't cry --- wouldn't cry in front of him.

❛ I'M LUCKY. I'M lucky to have only lost one of my siblings. only one of my family because of you. colleagues of mine aren't so lucky , made the mistake of going to work in the morning or evening to merely try and make a living only to to die the worst death possible by burning alive. i've -- . . i've. i know what its like. i've felt your flames and the anger and grief they held.   ❜ she breathes , looking away as her hands clench at her sides.

ITS WEAK TO cry. she refused to cry in front of the monster that destroyed her life. destroyed her family and ruined so many lives to try and make himself feel better. she knows the dangers of delusions . . she gets it but . . revenge doesn't solve the problem of them. no delusion is worth the death of people just to try and strike a point.

AND WHAT POINT was even made ? it didn't stop them from being made. distrubuted among those ' deserving ' of them within the fatui. harbingers holding them in hand and using them. operatives relying on them to fight. what did all the death and pain solve ?

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

❛ YOUR ANGER SOLVED nothing. it didn't stop the production. all you did was kill . . deserving and innocents alike. all you did was break families apart in grief and have a target put on your back. its astonishing you've lived this long after all you've done to hundreds of people --- you almost didn't and i used to question the Tsaritsa on why in Her grace She let you leave. why She even let you live.   ❜ she sucks in a breath through her nose.

SHE UNDERSTANDS. 'FORE one of the other reasons she's stayed her hand beyond lord tartaglia's relationship with her monster's kin.

❛ BUT I UNDERSTAND now. it was not grace or mercy. it was a punishment. that a harbinger would not be the one to slice you down as you so suicidally wish. as penance for what you've done but living. living is the true punishment -- knowledge of what had been committed by your hand and living with it. knowing of the blood that is on your hands.   ❜

He'd been about to rebuff the claims of ever purposefully targeting innocents -- there were none, in his eyes, that he'd killed without good cause. They were all worthwhile targets, things that actively contributed real and lasting harm upon the world.

And yet the evidence arose to slap him in the face.

Silent, he makes his observations and pieces things together. The burns upon her arms matched his own, self-inflicted wounds from burning far too hot in his worldwide quest for vengeance.

But the cold, harsh finality of it all came with this:

You blew up a delusion factory.

...

He did do that.

Diluc hears the story of a brother lost to the fires that raged in his wake. Of being unable to save him. As a man who cared deeply for his own sibling, he could instantly sympathise on a human level.

He'd left nothing behind of that wretched place but ash.

...

He felt sick.

His silence does not break, however -- despite the quiet, palpable horror etched across his fair features. He looks lost; transported to another time and place, where he dared not look over his shoulder.

He forgets he's even in Mondstadt at all.

Were there truly innocent people inside the targets he'd struck?

Frozen in his fear, he covers his mouth, feeling as though he may vomit at any moment.

"That's not-- I couldn't--"

In his own quest to get even, had he become the very thing he so openly hated?
