It may look different from the sort we're familiar with, the kind we teach our kids in class and visit at museums or heritage sites, but can anyone deny our time as one of war? Because I'd like to see better evidence of the experience than something so domestic, so casual, as the creation of militaristic and political "moe anthro" comics (unequivocably NSFW). The latter term refers to the personification of inanimate objects or concepts as "moe," the Japanese word for "budding" but which, in the context of genre and Japanese slang, generally refers to cute things with specific traits.
You know an era has truly made history when they start producing media designed around characters that represent actual, known countries relying on dialogues of stereotyped international relations and current policymaking. There's a fracking geopolitical revival spreading around...
This is one for the books, Jerry. Really one for the books.
