(1) Rising sun design has been a Japanese traditional drawing since ancient time worshiping a sun. 1st Img. It was used as a military flag in a domestic war BEFORE Japan annexation of Korea. Not same as swastika. 2nd Imgpic.twitter.com/bSPHJvy9lG

(2) Korea had no problem with a flag for more than 50 years. They started to claim only around 2015. Many counter examples to Korean claim. Korean born world wide religion Union church has been using a similar looking logo, but Korean LET them use and it has never been an issue.pic.twitter.com/9DX9l4BfCM

Korean and Chinese leaders who actually fought against Jpn at war didn't even interpret as offensive either. Neither do Korean people who are aware it is used in Jpn force.pic.twitter.com/QnzC0VcUPy

(3) Then they came up with this idea. Around 2015 suddenly It all started. Now a building looking like one from above is a problem. Koreans claim is nothing but a nationalism propaganda, by extending the notion of war victim for their own interest.pic.twitter.com/UQMbrZGrk8

(4) It can extend further. Remember. it is not the end of the story, but this is the beginning of the dangerous precedent of extending interpretation of war victime. Now even radiating red beams become a target.https://www.latimes.com/local/education/la-me-edu-lausd-ava-gardner-mural-20181211-story.html…

You can see how far they have gone now. They say art is offensive, but they are the ones disgracing a beautiful art work under the pretex of war victim.pic.twitter.com/8v10fw0z3v

They call offensive rays in work forgetting Korean official stamp with those in 1990. Their claim is always inconsistent over the time.Jpn has seen it all after repeated apologies/reparations while many Korean presidents are arrested/elected over and over.https://twitter.com/CallemAronsen/status/1171620009015042048…

Red radiating ray hunting has already started among Korean youngsters. This is what happened once you accept their claim. It goes further.https://twitter.com/FOXHOUNDER1014/status/1170719215151669249…

(5) It's not even about #risingsun.
It's about Korean mindset getting united with a hatred to others.
Taishou era 1912-1926 Jpn has developed an unique Jpn/Western mix culture, #TaishouRomance. Now Koreans attacking art/games related to it cuz thats the era of Jpn colonial rulepic.twitter.com/AOMZTiozl4
