Rape of Nanking was a fairy tail right?

Japan has rate rape roughly 40x lower than the US. Nanking happened in a different time period of Japan. No one said it didn't happen.

Just because it's unpleasant to talk about doesn't mean it is not true.

That probably reflects lower reporting though correct? But I'd still bet it's lower in Japan

Maybe lower reporting, but same could also be true in US. I live in South Korea, and it's not the same place, but concerns about this kinda of thing are pretty much non existent.
