We've seen this image as an act of romance on V-J day in times square. The picture has been the poster picture for American romance. But in reality? This was a totally unconsenting kiss. Two strangers. One being held against her will.
I saw something on television about this photo. The soldier in the pciture was so happy to be home, and in the crowd of people he was in, took the first person he met in the crowd and kissed her. Many think she was his sweetheart he had left behind, but no, she was a stranger.
Yeah pretty sure every HS literature/English class talked about this. Dude forcefully dragged an unknown lady and kissed her, someone took a picture and it got published in a magazine as “Romantic”.
It was the end of WWII. Excuse me if I kissed you and didn't ask first. You have no CLUE what was going on at that time, and it was a kiss. He didn't rip her clothes off. If a female had done that to a random guy, you wouldn't be objecting. Fuck you doozy
Not quite. It was two strangers, one being held against her will, one celebrating no longer being held against his.

And, ya know what? She lived to talk about it!! It was only a kiss and she understood what it was for. No harm done.
In today's world of snowflakes, if you so much as LOOK at some piece of pussy she's taking you to court and tossing your ass in jail!!
"Gee, why don't guys approach me anymore?"
Yeah, it was talked about on QI. Apparently she wasn't pleased about the forced kiss, and they met again decades later when the photo was investigated.
You have the answer? Then by all means, go and charge him with rape.
Information on that one is well documented, by the way. You should have no problem finding them.
Good luck with that case, tho.
u yes, I knew about it...
it actually represents America... and many other country with reserves of oil, lol...
I have read different accounts of this photo over the years. I knew it was not what it seems but I did not know that there were sinister motives behind it.
What makes you sure that this kiss was against her will? Did you ask the girl in this balck and white picture? 😂
I think that she's enjoying the kiss 😌
She’s lucky he was a sailor. If he was a Marine he would have celebrated with impromptu anal sex with her…. and all her friends…. and 2 of their mothers.
Tbh seeing the photo it doesn't look like the romanticised thing it's portrayed as. The guys hold looks to forceful and that and from my film based knowledge only usually when kissing both parties tend to wrap there hands about each other.
I didn’t see her resisting in the photo, she probably liked being kissed by a sailor, women didn’t act like crazy feminist back then, they actually liked their role in society back then
I saw it on the cover of LOOK magazine after World War II
How would you know she is being held against her will? Did you ask her?
This is consistent with what I've heard about that photo.
I saw it San Diego personally.. not sure if it's true. but still very nice
How do you know? Lol
She has nice shoes though
Even the photographer doesn't know who they were. He just took the picture. All stories about those two are speculation.
How did you come to this conclusion?
I’m not surprised.
Tbh it does look unconsenting...
Really? okay then
Don’t you just love snapshot perspectives
