Why do people not treat the symbol of the rising sun with the same revulsion as they would with the Nazi Swastika?

Why does everyone treat the Pacific theater as a none issue?
>>
>>276960
If you were Korean, or Chinese, or Vietnamese you probably would. Likewise I'm sure those cultures don't give a fuck about the swastika.

I'm on Guam.

I can walk around with a Japanese imperial seal on my bag, and no one bats an eye.
>>
>>276960
Speaking as an ex-conquered Asiatic: unless you're a Chink or a Korean nobody really gives a shit about the WW2 Japanese anymore. We seem to be more forgiving about these things.

I always assumed it was because of denazification and the fact that the Nazi flag had a bigger impact on American/European culture than the rising sun did.
>>
>>276981
I don't know what the hell you are talking about, Chinese are still actively but futilely demanding apology from Japan, even going so far as re-visioning the war as their sole victory.

You might want to re-read that first sentence m8.

Truth.

The rising sun flag, both with and without rays has been a symbol of Japan centuries. In contrast the Swastika is specifically the flag of the Nazi regime and it's ideology.

It is better to compare the Rising Sun with the Cross pattée, which was used for the german military before, during and after the second world war.

>tfw because the windmill of friendship is banned media has resorted to using the iron cross which has started to be seen as a nazi symbol
>>
>>277013
Well, neither of those symbols are commonplace here because we're Christianized and shit.
>>
>>277080
No, we're just really forgiving or friendly.That's why we're master race :^)

>>276960
I guess bombing millions of Japanese civilians to death makes the subject kinda akward for Americans

>>277058
Do it Nazi.

>>276960
The UFC champ GSP would walk out with a Hayabusa made gi with the Rising Sun emblazoned across the back until the fighter "Korean Zombie" commented on just this and asked him to stop.

Point being that people DO treat the symbol with abhorrence.

there was only one sentence.

Who really thinks this? Nobody, but it always amazes me how people can manufacture enemies for themselves.

>>277167

>I guess bombing millions of Japanese civilians to death makes the subject kinda akward for Americans

670,000 Japanese, and no it doesn't.
>>
>>276960
Because the Japanese are Asian and therefore White guilt has no effect on them
>>
Because the holocaust and the media industry behind always bringing it up at the slightest hint of nationalism or Socialism.
>>
>>277176
Said the white guilt leftist

>>277705
Do you have a link to that video?

Fuck I love Korean Zombie

No homo but mirin his body hard
>>
Why'd they go from an oval to a circle?
>>
Because most people would be lying if they said they really gave a shit about what Japan did to China and Korean.
>>
>>279619
Talking of The West here, the 'most people' only do because of the massive propaganda against nazist germany, and to lesser extent, Italy. If you tell them for a long steady time, you create the 'obvious' evil of nazis.
>>
>>276960
Koreans do.

>There is a herbal laxative tea sold in Thailand. The package depicts Hitler's head with fire coming from his mouth and light beams emitting from his eyes. The caption of the package reads "Release the Demon."

Thats golden, I really want a box of that just so I can say I have one.
>>
>>279700
Barely anyone even knows what Italy is supposed to have done that makes them evil, if you ask anyone why fascist Italy was so bad you'll get a response like

>Didn't they kill Jews or something like that?
>>
>>278592
>670,000 Japanese
That's a lot of fucking people.
>>
Because Chinese don't control our media.
>>
>>282118
A drop in the bucket of WW2.
>>
>>276960

Because we aren't chinese. In east asia they don't give a shit about the swastika
>>
>>276960
The Japanese atrocities were against other Asian countries, while the German atrocities were against Europeans.

Apparently, nobody cares how many Chinese civilians you torture to death and experiment on, but God help you if you build prison camps in Europe.
>>
>>279766
Do they really? They where allies during the cold war, though they didn't really share spilled blood.
>>
>>282145

>chinese people are so incapable that they need westerners to feel sorry for them

Do you think they care about the swastika?
>>
>>282145
back to reddit
>>
>>277058
I'm far from being a Nazi apologist but I really do think Euro countries banning the Swastika is ridiculous.
Firstly, I think it's already bad enough to ban it from common use just as a violation of free speech, but banning it from depiction in historically-set films, video-games, books, etc is just insane.
>>
>>282145
Except people in the west did give a shit about Nanking, a lot actually. It's why Roosevelt embargoed Japan in the first place.
>>
>>282145
maybe its because the war happened 70+ years.
>>
>>282238
Tell that to the Shoah guys.

No vid, but here's an article with the entire open letter Chang sun Jung wrote to GSP.

Only chink and gook butthurt. Us SEAmonkeys give a shit about rising sun or nazi flag

Chink pls.

>>276960
not as cool looking.
>>
>>276960
Am I the only one that thinks the flag of Nazi Germany looks really asian?
>>
>>276960
Because the japs were cruel to orientals while the nazis were cruel to caucasians.
>>
no kikes died in the pacific theatre
>>
>>282221
That's only Germany (perhaps Austria as well)
>>
I despise Japanese, but I think equaling the Rising Sun flag as the Nazi Swastika is retarded.

It's just a bunch of asspained Chinese and Koreans hating on everything in Japan because they can't get over the fact their ancestors got fucked over by them.

I could go on a rant about how the British Union Jack is a butcher's rag over what they did in Ireland, but I'm not a raging autist like Orientals are.
