More power to them for trying to reclaim it! It was stolen anyways.
The difference with Imperial Japan is that the flag is still being used by the same group that committed war crimes. The Rising Sun can’t simply be reclaimed, unlike the Swastika.
Point being is that there’s a reasonable reason for the Japanese Naval flag to be in a Japanese Naval meme. If you want at reason to think the meme wasn’t made in good faith, I’d be more worried about how the Japanese guy is holding a machete to the other guy’s throat. That actually does conjure up ideas about WWII war crimes.
