TL;DR A peace organization recently placed a doll holding a "Remember Hiroshima" sign in Disneyland in Anaheim, California, resulting in a video of the doll going viral. The doll, covered in ash and dressed in a yukata, was placed inside the It's a Small World ride. It was removed after being discovered.

Appropriate or not, the jarring contrast is effective. The world should never forget.
Definitely a striking protest that gets its point across well
Acting Japan were the victims.
Remember Nanjing. Remember Comfort Women. Remember the cannibalism. Remember Unit 731. Remember Pearl Harbor.
Yeah a lot of awful things happened in the war and innocent people died. Let us not act like Japan was some peaceful nation at the time.

This was doll was placed by the org of Ben from Ben & Jerry’s, not a japanese org
Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen revealed he was behind the stunt Thursday, telling Fox News Digital in a phone interview that he’s in the midst of a campaign against the U.S. government’s stockpile of powerful weapons as part of his “Up in Arms” campaign against the Pentagon’s spending budget. Cohen said that while the campaign targets current policies under the Trump administration, the matter of Pentagon spending is “disgustingly bipartisan” and stretches long past the current administration.
You know I was just thinking we hadn’t fought about WWII enough in here. It must be a day with a y in it!
As if Japan was some peaceful nation not trying to conquer their neighbors and committing atrocities or war crimes. Some in Japanese command were willing to fight to the last man and America would have been more than willing to let Japan do that. Would have been bad for both sides but worse for Japan. Those bombs were horrific and used as a statement to the whole world, but nuclear weapons should never be used again. Regular people died on both sides due to leaders not giving 2 shits about the everyday person.
