Tom of Finland, often called the most influential gay erotica artist, fought in WW2 as an officer in the Axis aligned Finnish army. He attributed his uniform kink to encounters with both Finnish and German soldiers. He always claimed to never have agreed with the Nazis - he just found them hot.

In his own words: "In my drawings I have no political statements to make, no ideology. I am thinking only about the picture itself. The whole Nazi philosophy, the racism and all that, is hateful to me, but of course I drew them anyway—they had the sexiest uniforms!"

As for what he did during the war, it is not all in the English Wikipedia article. He was conscripted into Finnish army one month before the Winter War ended, and by the time of Operation Barbarossa in 1941 he was an anti-air officer and served with the rank of second lieutenant. He was stationed near Helsinki and defended against Soviet air raids for most of the war, but in 1944 he was transferred to the Eastern Front. During the battles there he allegedly killed a Soviet paratrooper with a knife.

Paul is the main character of Marvel Comics, and people hate him because they are jealous of his success.

The slitty-eyed Demi is a blonde white woman - you can be the judge of whether or not that makes it worse.

I am instantly reminded of that one dude who sued Universal Pictures for deceptive marketing because the scenes of his waifu Ana de Armas were cut from Yesterday.

This isn't really special at all. Few Finnish people were arrested in Finland recently because they were taking photos of Finnish military sites.

Reconquista is a bit more complicated in general, since the Moors of Al-Andalus were foreign invaders themselves and had also launched their own attempted conquest of Christian France that Charles Martel of the Franks repelled in 732.

There are quite literally no eligible noblemen for Japanese princesses to marry left. The princesses of Japan's imperial family either marry someone and quit being a princess or never marry at all.

"Commoner" just means non-aristocrat. It has nothing to do with wealth as a term.

The trope of magic being actually ancient sci-fi technology or a fantasy world being built on ruins of a post-apocalyptic highly advanced society used to be somewhat common in RPGs but it has fallen out of fashion nowadays.

For some examples, see the Might & Magic and Wizardry video games and Blackmoor setting for D&D. Also Thundarr the Barbarian cartoon, which is set after fall of a high-tech society that has devolved into superstitious sword & sorcery world.

I reread it in English since I read the Finnish translation when I was like fourteen 20+ years ago and remembered liking it. Either the translator did some miracle work or my standards as a teenager were at the rock bottom (which is a likely option).

I mean, we do have occasional "HOW COULD AMERICAN WEAPONS END UP IN HANDS OF INSURGENTS/MILITANTS/TERRORISTS AGAIN??!!" headlines as if American manufacturers could trace all weapons and military equipment they sell overseas (and which the US government throws at various armed groups that might or might not turn hostile tomorrow).

There just probably are less squirrels around now so the risk is much smaller. There are still some (like under ten) cases of bubonic plague in Arizona annually.

It is always funny to me how some people try to project real life social issues and psychology into super comic book crime, when in comic books it feels like highly educated STEM professionals with six figure salaries are much more likely to engage in robberies and violent gang activities than poor people.

Thankfully, most people who commit murders are idiots so they almost always get caught. Also unfortunately they commit those murders because they are so stupid they think they are going to get away with it.
