What kind of sad world do we live in where a goofy kids’ magazine can’t draw a penis on Genghis Kahn’s face?

Hilarious given claims about Japan not giving into "social justice warriors and the PC scourge".

BTW why can't I use the acronym now?

If they are going to apologize for every "offensive" depiction of historical non-Japanese characters, then that is going to be a long list. How one balances free speech in a way that is not offensive to others is extremely difficult.sd

In the image, parentheses in which Genghis Khan's name may be written are instead filled in with a euphemism for "penis," and male genitalia are drawn over the Mongolian leader's face.
Hey, that's pretty fitting for the common ancestor of .5% of the world's population.

The site can't be accessed. Sad Would you please post that image here?
By the way, if anyone is interested to know the places Genghis Khan traveled, tour map of Genghis Khan might be useful. I just noticed it and liked it.
