Q: although i know you understand the seriousness, why use rape in such a joking context/manner and with the knowledge that theres absolutely so many youtube edgy folk that went "HAH RAPED" along the unfortunately popular current usage of 'rape' as in defeating somebody or doing better than them. this tone isnt meant to be accusatory i just would like to know where you stand on this, i love your humor and the effort you put into your vids but i personally couldnt watch this last one after the first mention
A: in the case of the scramble for africa, i was trying to explain it in the quickest and most efficient manner possible, and if you read up on the scramble for africa, i think you might find that that is a reasonably accurate one-word description of what happened. in the case of the rape of nanking, that is what the event is commonly known as, the 'rape of nanking.' i should also mention that i was heavily criticised last year because the rape of nanking was not mentioned the history of japan video. so i decided i should mention it in this video. i hope that makes sense. also i can't control what happens in youtube comments, unless i disable comments
