while panel b is true, but would you feel that it would be justified for someone to drop a nuke on your town or city because of our genocidal, expansionist, and patriarchal history? also the japanese weren't pagan, they were state shinto, and had to believe the emperor was a god, a theocracy, but not pagan. paganism comes from europe. also if i recall, the communist russians were fighting the nazis. a final note: what does being lgbt, feminist, or muslim have to do with racism between americans and the japanese? it seems like you just placed a bunch of left leaning association's logos on the sweaty man with little thought as to their actual beliefs on the issue of dropping the atomic bombs.

The symbols I included are a catch-all for modern leftists.

Dropping the atomic bombs on Japan WAS indeed the least deadly option to end the war in the Pacific. This video explains: https://youtu.be/BmIBbcxseXM

Also I HAVE absolutely heard “pagan” being used to refer to any sort of polytheism; not just European.

It actually wasn't the least deadly option. You've been had - the Japanese were making moves to surrender anyway. The purpose of the bombs was to accelerate the surrender by a few weeks to deny influence in the theater to Soviet forces who were mobilizing East.

In other words, those civilians - and just a reminder, the bomb victims were not political or military, they were civilians - were sacrificed to make a strategic jumpstart on the Cold War.

And if you think that's ok then there are international conventions on the rules of warfare you should read.
