Both Japanese and Korean Internet users are reported to be planning a “cyber-war” against each other on the anniversary of Japan’s loss of the Second World War.
Talk of a Japanese “counter-attack” in retribution for the hostile acts conducted by Koreans against 2ch earlier in the year has reportedly led to an attack by Japanese on Korean Internet targets being planned for the 15th of August.
Hearing reports of this, irate Koreans soon began talk of a pre-emptive strike, and have apparently planned their own series of attacks – though some have called for moderation, few hold out much chance of anyone listening to them, with Korean media saying cyber-war is “unavoidable.”
The 15th of August is Victory over Japan Day (V-J Day), celebrating the defeat of Japan by America and its minions. In Korea it is celebrated as Liberation Day, representing the end of Korea’s union with Japan, enforced in 1910.
In typical Japanese style, in Japan it is is known ambiguously as 戦歿者を追悼し平和を祈念する日 / Senbotsusha wo tsuitōshi heiwa wo kinennsuru hi, “the day for mourning of war dead and praying for peace,” or more commonly (yet no less ambiguously) as “End of War Day.”
In either case it appears to be serving as a convenient outlet for outpourings of mutual hatred.

I never listened....I never payed any attention to the line....but I think it's true now....
Internet is serious business.
It's a hate machine, and nobody will be left behind
More like nobody will be left alone...
Korea, you dun goof'd, because I backtraced it and you've been reported to cyberpolice! Consequences will never be the same!
More like no body cares.
nobody*
China should join in just for the hell of it
Minions?
use cronies. I like that better.
Actually China would have a reason to, after all Japan kicked their asses up until WW2 as well
Darkrockslizer, don't you mean China was ran down, treated as animals, raped and pillaged on an OFFICIAL POLICY regarding Mukden Japanese soldiers' rule of engagement against Chinese CIVILIANS?
If there's any nation that deserves an eternal grudge, it's China against Japan. Korea had it pretty bad too. Korea was so desperate in their struggles that it may have created history's earliest booby-trap-bomb-suicide attacks (like packing bombs in Kimbaps and lunch boxes, bringing it to officers and letting it explode). And the way Korean women were snatched up for Japanese prostitution..
All to think it only happened 65-80 years ago and I can kind of understand all the hate. I love Japan and it is a homeland to me, though even by Japanese standards, that war was an embarrassment. Germany also has to live by its cross due to their collective sins and I don't see why Japan is any different. Sad, but perhaps way in the future, nations can start to seriously try to co-exist instead of antagonizing eachother.
Even though everyone say things here for the lulz, Shippoyasha said something serious, and he has a point.
Though everyone was horrible in the war, so I guess it depends how you look at it. Japanese have apologized, and the common citizen doesn't even bother to look information up.
But then, you can come back with the same argument. They DESERVE to be angry. But then again, we could be angry at the Germans aswell.
It's a vicious circle of hate.
No one "deserves to be angry" at anyone. They can be, but that doesn't change the fact that it's illogical and childish. Anger is only useful when you have a need for adrenaline - otherwise it serves to cloud our judgement.
But in this case, the illogicality skyrockets: people hating other people for 'sins' they didn't commit, which are also sins they could never have affected in any way.
The people who were killed are dead - they don't care about this 'war', nor do they care about WW2 anymore. Sure, those who have survived should be compensated, but that's about it. The best way to 'pay' for the crimes of the war is to strive for peace.
Actually @Rethardus and @Shippoyasha
German and Japan are very different in this regards. German after WWII was ashamed of what they had done, completely disassociated themselves with the Nazis, apologised and there is absolutely no problem nowadays with any nation.
Japan had not actually officially apologised to China nor Korea. China had demanded apology several times. No one in China could get over the Nanjin Masacre. e controversial war shrine prime ministers visiting every year only heats up the grudge. This is why relations are still as it is.
Only 2 days ago, quoting news: "The Japan's liberal prime minister broke from tradition today by not visiting a controversial shrine which honors World War II criminals among the country's war dead." This is a welcomed move.
Lol, china is just butthurt after being owned by a smaller country. Lame chinks cant forget the delicious ass whooping that glorious Nippon gave em.
Tenno Heika Banzai!!!!!
How come the internet hate machine couldn't be the internet date machine?
Because of the hatred.
It was the date machine but was soon transformed into the date rape machine. That's how the hate machine was born.
So it's all because of the surprise buttsecks how sad :(
Haters gonna hate.
easy solutions. just disconnect the internet for both countries for one day. let them realize internet is a privelege, not a right!
And exactly who can do this disconnection, Jesus himself? The Cyber God?
Blaspheme not against the almighty Cyber God, lest he smite thee with a plague of spam emails.
don't tell me you haven't heard about obama wanting to have the right to press the 'off' button to american internet?
actually America can probably cut off the interwebz servers since they refused to hand it over the last time UN asked for it...
LAIN = CYBERGOD
ya , anon is correct , the usa technically cut off the worlds internet but because of the paranoia of tech super powers they all probably have backups at least ex , usa , japan , china , Russia ect...
lolwut? Since when was the internet centralized? No one country has the internet because it is a network of nodes connected by various lines. Even if it is "shut off" in one area it wouldn't affect another area's ability to connect to the internet unless what you want to access is in the shut down zone.
It's a right in Finland
Why the hell was I not informed of this?
However, in Finland you don't have the right to engage in consensual BDSM play (and who-knows-what else when it comes to sexuality), so I'd rather stay away from that shithole.
Source? I had the impression that the Scandinavian countries were considerably more liberal than most, so that seems a bit odd.
21:58
You're confusing Finland with Sweden... (blasphemy!)
^ You're right, I was basing this on the recent SanCon article, which somehow I thought was about Finland. I'll take it all back. It struck me as a bit strange too, maybe I should have re-checked first... All hail the land of Metal!
Sweden fuckin knows Metal. FACT!
@ScottyT14
Indeed...
But If it is not a dire threat to anime and hentai, then we should best leave both of these opposing forces to their own tiny machinations...
*zooms in with the built-in camera in his Pyramid Helmet*
And watch them on the sidelines, eating popcorn made with Reimu Hakurei's freshly-made armpit salt, and drinking Cucumber-flavored beer made and fermented in Nitori Kawashiro's kappa-vagoo...
Just What the f.....
My mind recreate what did just say....
I prefer my popcorn sugar frosted with Cirno's sweet juices. Kampai! ^_^
Well no matter who wins, many lols will be had.
muhahahaha yeah u just caused at least one there xD
I'm still rooting for Japan though. lol
tis will be most interesting indeed.
lol, these Japs and Kors
They look alike, they sound alike and they share a lot of similarities
You'd think they'd be like U.S. and England
We Americans secretly have a deep, insatiable hatred for England.
Isn't it the other way around?
Secret?
No we don't... Only redneck inbred ass backwards americans hate them...
Why would redneck Americans hate the English? The average English people are much more inbred, are fatter, uglier, and less educated than the average American redneck.
Hell, all of europe is just one big redneck sister and mom screwing rednecks. Even if you are a Parisian or Berliner, you are stupidier, fatter, uglier, and more ignorant than the average American redneck from MISSISSIPPI or ALABAMA according to the UN and CIA.
Americans are the least inbred, most enlightened society on the planet, and THAT should scare the hell out of everyone.
Pretty sure it's the English was a not so secret disdain towards america. Not politically of course but citizen to mutual citizen.
NO you idiot thats the French we love the English specially the scots.
You speak for yourself then Anon because I'm among the few actual Americans here and I like England. They are pretty cool and fun to drink with like the Irish.
As for the other Anon below. We don't don't hate the French either. We just love making fun of them. We dislike their men because they wow our women and they dislike us because we wow their women.
OMFG a real american? Or just one of the europeans, that invaded the country back in the days?
I'm a real american, and Lee has it right.
Yes, the English hate the Americans. It's because they've thoroughly butchered our language and to add insult to injury claim that American English is correct.
They can't spell, they omit particles and their grammar is terrible and to make matters worse they "could care less" about it! Fucking tossers!
It's "participles", not "particles".
Just FYI.
Hey! Why dontcha get ova here and say dat to my face frenchy?!?!
@thanto
I don't know... he could have meant what he typed, as far as I understand.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_particle
It never ceases to amuse how petty people can be. I hope you all get a hug today or laid. Something! Just so long as you have someone pull the giant idiot stick out of your ass.
I don't hate England, but this guy proves they have been sore in the ass ever since we won the revolution.
lol
You mean the English and the French.
Don't you mean more like Canada and the US?
