maybe this is inevitable and i'm the precious one for feeling as i do but man, the casualness and ease with which people crack jokes about oppenheimer is. SO fucking bleak lol
the degree to which "war criminal" has been sanitized as kind of a humorous thing to say about characters in stories and so on is like: fine, sure, that was dumb to say about steven universe and his rock moms. but perhaps the fact that the mass death of minority populations so rapidly became a funny joke quality for a character to have says something about how much value americans assign to the lives of foreigners
