    It's funny how Americans have an emotional reaction to seeing the word "Axis" even on Hexbear.

    I legitimately don't have any reaction to it. It's just a political term to me that refers to a group of countries aligning together on a topic. WW2 isn't even the first thing that springs to mind when I see the word, I think of the axis of resistance.

    I assume this is caused by media usage. Axis seems to not get used much to refer to the enemy in ww2 here in Britain, preferring to say simply Nazi or Germany and completely ignore the rest.

      When a checkmark uses the word "Axis" to refer to Germany, he KNOWS what he's doing.

      The Cold War slowly turned our education on WWII into a Captain America comic where the Americans went in and badassed their way into ending the very concept of evil. The Axis Powers were evil enough to deserve the nuke twice
