That's kinda goin too far with KanColle making stabs at us..
Personally I am perfectly fine with them making the Abyssals US inspired. We were enemies in WWII which is the time period kancolle is based around. The only thing that kind of pisses me off are the few artists who make Imperial Japan like some kind of innocent moe nation and US were the evil rapey aggressors stealing all the waifus.
My grandfather still had family in Japan during the war and he still worked with the US Army engineering electronics to beat the Axis because he believed that Imperial Japan could not be allowed to win.

Wow. It's amazing the different sorts of things you learn about.

I know right KC it's a good game but their arrogance about their country it's so bad that sometimes I really thought they totally deserve to get ripped off by others ie: warship girls

Pure irony that it's the Chinese making Warship Girls too.
I mean, from the perspective of the Japanese I can totally understand where they are coming from. They fought to expand their country and secure their independence with an empire free of western influences. "To create unity ruled by morals". To them, the ends justified the means and it was "our fault" for pulling their steel and oil tap in the middle of the sino-japanese war. Today we demonize them for killing Chinese civilians, but from the Japanese perspective these are no such things as civilians but only individuals who are potentially combative threats since one is supposed to die for their country or leader rather than absolute surrender from the Japanese warrior's perspective. Seeing the Chinese government flee for their own safety to leave the citizens to die, definitely would give them the perception of china as an inferior and immoral nation, and Japan as the superior nation who would save them from their embarrassing state. The weak perish to make room for the strong who advance humanity.
But that's a Japanese point of view. And while I may be Japanese genetically, I am only American in loyalty, so US interests come first. Japan was maturing as a country (and in some ways still is) and was learning what they needed to catch up with the rest of the world. They were too naive about their ambitions to create a utopia of sorts. They still had rifts from the original factions and held ineffectual means of population control such as their weapons bans and censorship laws, because their country was not rich and their constitution not free enough for the average citizen so they would be willing to obey the laws simply out of patriotism and understanding of how it maintains society, rather than a threat by the government with a gun/sword.
Simply put, our country is better than theirs and so while one could argue our Manifest Destiny mirrored Japan, our opposition to Japan truly wasn't their methods, but their goals. They were trying to propagate a government that would not allow the people to prosper and live freely. And so given a choice between them or us, we of course would choose US. Ignoring my personal contempt for FDR (among others) for their globalist perspectives (I don't think we should have cut resources. The welfare of the Chinese should not be the concern of the US, but of the Chinese. I think it was FDR's plan to use it to initiate US intervention in WWII for europe and give an excuse to justify dropping the gold standard which gave him a "blank check" to make the fiscally irresponsible New Deal junk that technically we still are paying for through inflation), Japanese attacking us and jeopardizing our newly found security and sovereignty is enough nationalistic concern to establish the need of US to participate in WWII.
Although I don't blame the axis for WWII. They were doing what was best for their own countries at the time and their goals just happened to end up opposing us. I blame the european allies for establishing the Treaty of Versailles (which never would have happened if WWI didn't happen which was caused by their globalist treaties) for placing huge debt on Germany, when they themselves defaulted on debt they owed us leading to the initiation of circular loans until it imploded due to the depression (that likely wouldn't have happened if the war debt was paid off reasonably giving us time to establish our chemical and petroleum industries that would overtake the automobile bubble).
Well, war is a basket of self-interests, good intentions, and sometimes stupidity (usually when someone decides to establish their naive sense of utopia and their self righteous entitlement to it [communism/socialism/revolution]). Everyone wants to thrive and be the winner but not everyone can. Thomas Malthus rises again. All we can do is protect our own and hope it works out for the best.
