The critique that there are no Japanese characters doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm not sure how they'd fit into the narrative, and also I don't trust an American director to really do that story justice. They could only ever write an American interpretation of the Japanese experience of the war.
If anything, we should use this opportunity to promote films by Japanese directors that do deal with these themes.
Throwing a tantrum about what exactly? They're one of the oldest-running Lemmy instances. Until now they were running a fork based on a pre-Federation version of the codebase.
You believe they did a bunch of work migrating their database only to then negate that work by destroying the community they wanted to Federate with?
