Why the Japanese Empire should have stuck around

Just because those OTL wars are avoided, doesn't mean less get people killed. The Japanese were killing thousands of civilians in the occupied territories every month.
Creating a desert and calling it peace definitely makes a region more stable, but that's not necessarily a good thing.

This, ladies and gents, is a failure to understand a basic economic principle:
"Opportunity Cost".
We would indeed not had to worry about these problems, instead, we'd have nuclear missiles pointed from the Marianas, massive depopulation in China, and giant military buildup in the Pacific.
Of course, there would be more hentai. The Troops that brought you the Nanjing Massacre will be sure to acquire the support of millions of comfort women.
Before I continue this sarcastic streak, I'm just going to ask ONCE:
Are you out of your mind, OP?

Actually Pornography extremely limited in Imperial Japan and Banned during WWII. It only Came back in force when Playboy was brought to Japan.
so simply put, America is Responsible for the Hentai that terrifies you all.
Way to go.

one thing I was never able (here or elsewhere) to get an answer on, is how much of the slaughter was retaliation (you kill one of our troops, we kill a hundred of your people), and how much was them emulating the Germans in Africa?
am quoting one of the lesser voices in my head.
no - but this is why I rarely let the voices have access to my hands.

in the same way Jekyll was Hyde.
(and if you read the bottom of the OP, it asks if it felt too much like The Onion)
he ask if you're mad and you say it's because of the voices in your head.
that's not....Reassuring.

no, only one of the voices is mad. the rest of me is sane.
or, as someone else described it:

look at it this way - its taken this long for anyone to realize.
Yeah those those hundreds of millions of Chinese, Korans, Vietnamese and Indonesians dead are acceptable losses so long no pinko gains power! Now all we need is someone to slap down those uppity Japs. Thank god we have Tsar Vladimir and the Neo-Russian Empire around to keep em on guard a little. Giving good ole Uncle Sam the breathing space to deal with those Islamo-Fascists. Who’d have thought that a K.G.B puke would actually be the legitimate Tsar of all the Russias? Well I guess working for the K.G.B would be good cover for a secret Romanov.

Well as Imperial Japan was seriously repressed in ways that make Victorian England look like a bunch of uninhibited hippies, I suspect the hentai ITL would be much much worse even if availably is down. So there’d be plenty of ways to cater to their sick tastes for you average Japanese pervert.
BTW Victorian England was also seriously devant in ways that would make De Sade blush. Seems to be common the more repressed a society the weirder the underground culture.
I will you’ll get that you get Cambodia on a larger scale, covering all of South East Asia. The Japanese Empire…How can I put this delicately was run by a bunch of lunatics. Even if the militarist regime was replace with something more sane and the empire survived. The devastation left by decades of militarist rule, leaves on all the land the empire encompasses even Japan makes Asia much worse off than OTL.
Sure the Imperials will let most of the locals live as helots for the Japanese overlords but that’s about it. They can forget any kind of economic or human development, (education or any chance at medical care etc)and expect their economy to raped in order to provide the home islands with labour and raw materials for free basically.

Yes, because all the Japanese are Sexual Deviants, and White people are the Golden Standards of Decency.
