I won't get tired of mentioning her height. WhY sO SmOl, lady Hood?! She used to be taller than Yamato herself, way "taller" than Bismarck-class, and just about 3 meters shorter than Iowas. The BIGGEST all-gun warships ever built btw. Hood was all about BIG glory and ELEGANT pride of Royal Navy!
Quick response without everything that the one above said: Fanservice.
I’m not sure if https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/101821602 is the same person as tarakomiso on twitter but their pixiv profile links to that. If they are, should go about changing the ids over to ones that work?
I am on the other camp, there are always other means and measures that can be taken. At that point in the war there were other means open, but they were considered more risky, so the choice between whether you want to risk loosing troops or sacrificing civilians is the main point about what people argue about regarding things like this.
Personally I have always held the belief that a soldier is usually mentally prepared (at least partially) to lose his life. An civilian that is neither prepared nor wants to fight or die, is clearly not.
The bombing was a clearly immoral, but the question is whether you would rather have sacrificed soldiers to try to do it, and risk actually losing this scenario, or be completely sure of victory and bomb it. Honestly, though the indication of industry was there it was kind of too iffy to make sense to just right out firebomb the whole thing without scouting it out a bit more. It just didn't make sense how extreme the action was to such an uncertain factor.
I would always try to pick the morally right opinion, though only when it would come to civilian/innocent lives. To be able to say "We lost a lot, but we know we did the right thing." Is a lot better than "We did what we believed was necessary, even if it costed thousands of lives". But perhaps that means I am not fit to be a general. If that is the case, then I am fine with it.
To quote Andrzej Sapkowski's book The Last Wish, one of the books in The Witcher series:
“Evil is evil, Stregobor,” said the witcher seriously as he got up. “Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I’m not a pious hermit. I haven't done only good in my life. But if I’m to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”
Cruel fact is: there is no moral high ground in war, no right side, no honour or glory, only death and trauma.
Despite being slightly lower res and noticably lower filesize, this image has way less noticable JPEG blocking, so I'm putting it as parent since it's nicer to look at.
A Kemono Friends fighting game (Kemono Frenzy?) would legit be a sweet thing to play.
There was a fan-made Kemono Friends fighting game made back during the anime frenzy called Kemono Friends Fight (if I remember the name correctly). It was made by the same folks that made MonMusu Fight.
I've heard of elderly women that wild animals fiercely them and protect them. There was this Native American Blackfoot grandma I knew that lived in the woods. When we'd visit her with a group of friends, and there would always be a wild pack of wolves that protected her and her home, you couldn't leave your car because 3 or 4 wolves would be howling and growling at you until she got there.
A random stranger joined my Touhou discord server just to post this pic with a title: "I know y'all mfs is about to forgot it but that not gonna happen".
