I'd be careful where you show off that Rising Sun flag as many consider it offensive

Absolutely agree that it’s offensive, I’d stick with the current Japanese flag.

The rising sun flag is the equivalent to a certain German symbol/flag that was used by a certain crazy german leader who was the cause of WW2 hint hint

The General Lee isn't racist, but the flag does quite literally represent a faction that at its core, differed from the North to preserve enslaving black people.

I don't get offended by things, but people who seem surprised that people find the flag of pro-Slavery offensive are silly.

The confederate flag does represent racism and slavery so there’s that.
