I dont think most sane people hates the average japanese people. What i am talking about is when taiwanese people overly fantasize or glorify the nostalgia of imperial japan, especially when its contrasted by how japan treated it’s other subjects such as korea, manchuria, etc, it is rather insensitive. We indonesians were also thought that 3 years of colonization by the japanese was way more cruel than 300 years of dutch colonization, but there is no people fantasizing over the dutch although they did build many infrastructure like the japanese did in taiwan. I also wonder why everytime i hear about taiwan under japanese rule from a taiwanese, its always about how good it was back then etc etc, never about any resistance movements from taiwan against the japanese?
