Via EX-SKF: This has caused a storm on Twitter and Twitter-related platforms in Japan, with many accusing the illustrator of “fanning the nuclear fears unnecessarily and of discrimination” against people in Fukushima. If you read Japanese, here’s the togetter collection of such tweets.

Could there be any more appropriate motif than a mother trying to protect her child?
That this causes criticism shows the depth of brainwashing in Japan, in my opinion.
It brought tears to my eyes.

Me too or-well. Afterall it all comes down to the children. THEY are the ones who will be effected the rest of their lives. “Chernobyl” proves that. So fucking sad.

“That this causes criticism”… My first reaction was similar to yours Or-well, then I remembered that such criticism might be mainly sock-puppet push-back from the industry.
Social media are easily distorted by various agents masquerading as ordinary citizens. We remember the recent scandal about pro-nuke forces trying to sway public opinion through phony letters of support for nuke plant startups and licensing. A single shrill shill voice can create quite a ruckus – superb bang for the buck if you’re in the propaganda biz. Loathsome creatures.
Today’s tongue-twister – say it 20 times quickly – “Single shrill shill voice”.

“Controversial”! – What a strange world we live in.

How is this “discrimination” to call attention to a danger that we all face? That is like saying that waking up a family whose house is on fire is rude since they were sleeping!

Awesome poster! I didn’t see any info as to where I might get a copy, so I’m going to have this made into a poster and put it up in my office. And you can believe it’s controversial, as it is – without doubt – a brilliant indictment of those who brought this nightmare into our lives…

2 lovely posters! I have an idea about one more scary one – made by tepco. Look at the ruins of reactor 3 on TBS camera. On the right of the tower is formed a scary face, which makes painful mimicks with the movements of the camera.

What a powerful piece….interesting that it’s controversial, obviously stirs up a lot of emotion – also feeling of denial and defense.
Seeing this made me think of this masterpiece by Misato Yugi, which was also featured at Ex-SKF’s page some months ago. Powerful and drastic, “Red dot radiation”. If you haven’t seen it yet, please watch it til the end…
