Also modern day ultranationlists certainly did not experience fridge horror and the polite Japanese culture was not due to a reaction again the Rape of Nanking. The culture of politeness and dislike of \\\"jaywalking\\\" existed long before that. While it is true that Japan is much more pacifistic than during the Imperial days to say the least, this trope is more for individuals, not entire nations. It is similar to the idea that all Germans are Nazis. Applying a trait to an entire people is potentially a problem.

This is not a case of fridge horror.

I can see how Fridge Horror applies on a national scale with the hypermilitarism giving way to a peaceful nation. But I don\'t think it really applies to literally the same men who committed atrocities. Most salarymen occurred a generation afterwards I thought? Also modern day ultranationlists certainly did not experience fridge horror and the polite Japanese culture was not due to a reaction again the Rape of Nanking. Many don\'t even know that much about it given the historical coverage it has in Japan.
