(In response to a question on YT asking me about the new pride flags).

Both the hoist-side triangle and the + brown/black stripe flags are hideous. I don't know how to describe it better. The rainbow is a natural phenomena, and is pretty. It does a good job of positively representing concepts like "diversity" and does so in a fun way. It's such an infectious icon that whenever you see a rainbow you just assume now it's a gay related organization.

Painting shit brown and baby colors, especially altogether, just is an eyesore. What does brown on the rainbow flag even mean? Brown gay people?? Why does that need its own flag? We already assume black people can be gay. Who needs to be told otherwise?

The trans flag itself is hideous and confusing. It looks like something rotting. I see dead blue skin, pink exposed flesh, and white pus. It doesn't represent transition to me. All those other sexuality flags are cheap imitations of a once-great idea, and only in that shared concept of "cheap imitation" does it accurately represent what it tries to.

Neo-liberal movements are broad and confusing. There's so many conflicting groups trying to share one house that it cannot be accurately represented. Which is why there's also no good conservative flags, except perhaps the Gadsden, which itself says nothing but "I don't like the government and I will defend myself".

Purityfagging is the dumbest shit. “You can’t be one of us unless you’re exactly all these things.” If we have the same ideologies why the fuck do you care what I do in my personal life? Better question is where does that shit end?

@mangeurdenuage @becassine @jeremiah @guizzy @coolboymew @ooignignoktoo Vaccine passports are not even a thing here. I think if you are not vaccinated, you are required to self-quarantine after traveling though. I'm just happy that I can most likely get away without being vaccinated.

@ooignignoktoo @becassine @jeremiah @guizzy @coolboymew @mangeurdenuage It's really crazy seeing how lockdowns are slowly being lifted where I live while up in Canada it's a completely different story.

@coolboymew @Asa It starts an hour before I have to go to work though, but thanks anyway.

@xianc78 exactly, just because your sexuality is often plastered on the rainbow flag doesnt mean we have to support that flag. People often assume you support that set of morals because of it and its sick.

@coolboymew @Asa The IGN stream is just like yesterday's event. It's just random game announcements. Maybe there will be some worthwhile surprise (which would be nice because today's my birthday), but I doubt it.

@djsumdog @colonelj @Terry I'm fine with pods, but I don't think people should be forced to live in them.
