If you're asking just about this community, I don't think anyone is offended by it.

But just to correct you, there are people who find the rising sun flag offensive because they believe it is like the equivalent of showing a swastika flag, not because they copied. They argue that it highlights Japan's atrocities (which if you look up, they are really disgusting) during World War II, when the rising sun was their national flag symbol.
