a lot of ppl seem to still need to hear this: stop using the “aesthetic” of the japanese imperial army for your art LMFAO
familiarise yourself with your inspirations and what you put in your art. it’s very easy to look at where things come from and then judge for yourself whether or not u should include it in your art, to what extent, etc.
if rn ur asking urself: should i include the rising sun in my casual piece not because it adds meaning or context but because i like the aesthetic, the answer is No.
