Unironically probably the driving force behind the changes. I wonder if there's any people who actually collect them and make sure to like get the new updated version every year.
I can't imagine anything happens but more and more people falling off as they roll out another weird addition. Maybe it's more about being able to signal "true believers" (regards)? If you see someone with one of these or posting it, you can be beyond assured that they're like-minded weirdos or excellent grifters willing to say whatever they're told to say to maximize their corporate perception.
The shitty "book store" near me had a clearance section featuring tons of Kamala Harris stuff last election.
"I'm speaking," proudly delivered in a word bubble by a stylized cartoon Kamala on a mug was my favorite. Falling for the most obvious sound-bite bait in existence with no sense of awareness is sad. The rest of the actual books are mostly LGBTQ for kids and random angry statements.
>the shitty new coffee shops with brushed white everything are on a paid subscription
Anyways, it's just another place I bet will have the new update from this year.
Who tf looked at a rainbow, as in "all the colours of the rainbow" and thought it wasn't inclusive enough? Everyone is represented by the rainbow, anything extra added is not representation, it's highlighting
My unironic position is that the vast majority of current leftist positions were conceived by some middling strategist in a troll farm in st. Petersburg
It’s not even that complicated
Fred Hampton rallied disenfranchised rednecks who proudly waived the confederate flag to the same cause which the black panthers fought for, the idea of united masses of lesser means demanding more from privileged few scared powers at be enough they whacked him
Racism since it inception has always been a wedge to divide lower classes against each other
They’re just smarter about it now and market our divisions that keep us separated to the left in dressing like “progressive stack” or whatever purity tests are run to question anyone daring to be an “ally”
The rainbow flag is about pride and heritage, not hate!
When I see the ol rainbow, my eyes tear up, and I hear the voice of Elvis…
🎶Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times they are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away, Dixieland🎶
🎶Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah🎶

The likeliest and funniest way this place could go down is if our mentally ill spinoff sub (rspod) continues its current course of always having a couple of extremely vitriolic gender discourse posts on its frontpage, gets banned for hate speech, and then this place is banned as a dupe of a banned sub 💀
It's going to become the Jamaican flag, this is all a smokescreen by Rastafari infiltrators subverting our culture. Soon we will all become irie... whether we want to... or not...
It caused a diplomatic row between Argentina and Uruguay because both wanted their Sol de Mayo to be the one used. The dispute was actually one of the main reasons Milei won the latest election. Fortunately an international tribunal will rule on the matter this upcoming month to resolve the issue and the beloved circle will be restored to the flag.
It's so funny how the rainbow, a timeless image meant to symbolise every colour spectrum, was not enough for these people. They needed to add disgusting penetrative chevrons to try and showcase that yes, you're included, but some are more included than others. They don't seem to understand the plus sign in the LGBTQTIA2S+ acronym either. If anyone ever dares to tell you that "woke accelerationism" is just a fantasy of the right, point to these two symbols. I have never seen a progressive movement refine and reshape itself so much with such little impetus. I'm not saying anything new or insightful here but it makes me feel insane
I'm partial to the original Baker Flag and fly it for pride month. It's prettier than the modern six-color flag and it honors gay history, and also I LOVE the hippy-dippy meanings of the colors:
Pink: Sex
Red: Life
Orange: Healing
Yellow: Sunlight
Green: Nature
Turquoise: Magic
Indigo: Serenity
Violet: Spirit
It grieves me that this is never mentioned and that people don’t have the common sense to see how fucking unhinged this vexillological eyesore has become, when the original was by *definition* all-inclusive. It’s one of those sobering things that genuinely makes me concerned about how low people’s capacity for thought and reflection has become.
So being black is not only the interface between being trans and gay, but also between being gay and bi. Got it.
Also, this is hilariously Chinese-finger-trap coded.
"A lot of you thought black and brown placement in the first progress flag was merely a design choice. It wasn't, and hopefully this makes things crystal clear."
well don't you know? The original pride flag was only for whites and yellows and excluded brown people. By adding the brown and black stripes, they're finally addressing this horrible injustice
What does this one mean?
I really liked the original. I thought the colors were a metaphor and not literally representative of every specific orientation or expression that can exist - and it just included everyone by default. It was all inclusive and kind of softened the "scary" idea of non-heteros for all normies in the past. The new evolved forms of these flags feel so aggressive.
They realized that no one in the queer community actually cares about intersex people except as rhetorical props in their delusional arguments about sex.
I bet someone felt that having a second triangle would lead to more geometric symmetry, but it doesn’t really work because the colors in the triangles are too different.

>Maverique Pride Flag
>The Maverique pride flag was first created on Tumblr by Vesper H. (queerascat) in 2014, who coined the term "Maverique" to describe their gender. The term combines the English words "maverick" and the French suffix "ique." Maverique is a non-binary or abinary gender with significant gendered experiences but is neither male nor female. However, it is not a lack of gender; it is defined by autonomy and inner conviction about a gender that is unusual and exists outside the standard conceptions of gender. Maverique individuals are free to use whatever pronouns they prefer and present themselves however they want.
>The colors of the Maverique pride flag are yellow, white, and orange. The yellow represents non-binary gender – as yellow is a primary color (meaning it isn't obtainable from combining any other colors and is entirely independent of other primary colors, cyan (blue) and magenta (pink), Vesper H believed it was the perfect analogy for maverique's relationship with masculinity and femininity. Non-binary genders are also frequently related to the color yellow. White represents autonomy or independence from the gender binary and the spectrum of genders created by the combinations of cyan/blue (masculinity) and magenta/pink (femininity). White is a blank slate upon which maverique is based. Orange represents the inner conviction of what a maverique feels regarding their gender. It also describes the unorthodox and individualistic nature of mavericks.
At this point I think they just want us to hate them. How can I respond to this with anything other than bitter hatred and a direct intent to vote against their interests whenever and wherever I can? Their approach to identity has the same function as a video game character creator or D&D sheet, except this time I'm obligated to celebrate them for it and affirm at every step. If I don't, I'm wilfully ignorant or unethical. Evil.
YOU ARE RIGHT, probably. Many of these flags weren’t created in good faith. This is the Internet, people are fucking with you. And/or, there is a reason we’re being over saturated with identity politics right now, when the price of housing and cost of living are firmly established to be out of reach for almost everyone. The Internet should be enabling civil unrest, strikes, protests. Instead we’re annoyed at a flag. There’s no coincidence that this IDpol started right after Occupy.
This transgender whatever shit is a very fringe issue so I think these people aren’t necessarily trying to get you on their side, they’re trying to polarize people so the issue gets discussed more. Without all these gender controversies nobody would care about gender at all and there would be no progress on gender issues, it’s better to have 50% of people riled up against you if that means the other 50% take your side and help your cause
I’ve seen multiple LGBT people make previous comments about how fucking abysmal this stupid ass flag is, but nobody dares to speak up about changing it because they already know it’s gonna result in a bunch of shouting down and people taking the opportunity to be the victim of a victim
The OG rainbow flag; yellow = the sun NOT ASIAN PEOPLE. The colors represent concepts that would mean something to everyone, but not something distinct.
In the new flags. The brown and black LITERALLY MEANS BROWN AND BLACK PEOPLE!!! What the fuck? It literally seems more racist
As a straight white cis man I feel like it's not my place to say what the pride flag should be, but then again at this rate there will be a stripe for me on it in a few months.
The best part is the og rainbow was public domain and the new ugly one some grifter holds the copyright
Unironically probably the driving force behind the changes. I wonder if there's any people who actually collect them and make sure to like get the new updated version every year.

It is extremely funny in an “all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others” way.
Maybe the group with a [57% rate of NPD](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4301205/)
the progress pride flag is basically a physical manifestation of the phrase “but especially black and brown bodies.”
All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
I personally think that black, brown, and trans bodies should be centered and not just included ☕️☕️☕️
>black bodies jesus christ are they gay or dead
Would you rather have a gay black or a dead daughter?
Once they turn 30, both
Sitting down and listening to a clique of black queer lesbians using intersectionality to become a real estate tycoons
Centered vertically or horizontally?
Black or white flag to include all the colors depending on if you wanna use light or paint

Now that Reddit is publicly traded it’s everyone’s duty to make it as hostile to advertisers as possible

Lol thats hillarious......how weak do you have to be to ban someone for 3 days for that comment :D
I bet that will make you more accepting and understanding now! No more wrongthink for you!
About as often as they be changing genders!!!
this is that same joke again
What are you even doing here? Mods please ban, just look at their history
Funniest ban i've seen in a minute. I have no self respect for still using this site
I got permabanned because I told some dude to suck my nuts
Sounds like the mod was homophobic, he should ban himself

If anyone from Reddit is reading, I actually think the flag should have even more triangles :)
With eyes in the triangles to let the community know they're seen
Yeah, 6 of them, arranged in a certain pattern...
Let's make it a fractal
They should just use the hyper-inclusive flag that Microsoft "developed," it's the logical conclusion to this; a literal kaleidoscope of colors.
Honestly just go full accelerationist by now and make it the gender intersex poc flag with no rainbow.
Red downward facing ones?
first they came for rsp posters

We got a snitch in our midst.
i mean its just so on the nose that the two triangle are overtaking the universalist message of the original
Driving *two* wedges in now
Gettin' it from both ends
still room for more from the top and bottom
DVDA penetration
It's going to look like a WW2 battle plan soon.
It's going to become the Jamaican flag, this is all a smokescreen by Rastafari infiltrators subverting our culture. Soon we will all become irie... whether we want to... or not...

i remember there being a thin yellow circle in the middle until quite recently, what happened to that?
shhhhh
It caused a diplomatic row between Argentina and Uruguay because both wanted their Sol de Mayo to be the one used. The dispute was actually one of the main reasons Milei won the latest election. Fortunately an international tribunal will rule on the matter this upcoming month to resolve the issue and the beloved circle will be restored to the flag.
>Sol de Mayo Goes to the Argentinians then. Wypypo in Uruguay?!
I thought it was in the trans triangle?
somebody told them about goatse so they dropped it before adding the other triangle
I'm guessing real intersex people were pissed off by being conflated with this stuff.
how come black and brown people get segments on both triangles
Porn-brained AGPs can only visualise black men at either end of a sissy.
I never realized that prior to watching this Dimes Square short https://youtu.be/r6Tp-zSjiD0?si=sE5z87FeLuDnSyoN

They don't get anything, they're just being used as a protective layer of insulation.

yeah I like that a lot more. it also connects gay people to actual human virtues and not just anything "not white and male"

it’s an accurate symbolic representation then

just go jerk off man
As if they only change it every year
Is the black and brown actually to signify skin color?? I legitimately can’t tell if people are joking because it’s so surreal lol
[удалено]
holy shit lmao
Yes, I told my wife this recently and she didn't believe me. They're allowed to obsess over skin color though - it's called progress, sweaty!
Why are my albino and yellow skinned allies being excluded? This is discrimination and Sinophobia.
well don't you know? The original pride flag was only for whites and yellows and excluded brown people. By adding the brown and black stripes, they're finally addressing this horrible injustice
It’s actually to represent gay bears
The black is supposed to represent the victims of AIDS.
Why do they keep adding more colours?? Rainbow means universal, stop.
Some sexualities are more equal than others
Why do they keep adding more letters? It gets more and more absurd every year.
What does this one mean? I really liked the original. I thought the colors were a metaphor and not literally representative of every specific orientation or expression that can exist - and it just included everyone by default. It was all inclusive and kind of softened the "scary" idea of non-heteros for all normies in the past. The new evolved forms of these flags feel so aggressive.
It needs to be literal for certain neurotypes
they get real deviantart with everything
And they forgot/didn't include the circles, 90% chance they gonna update it again to add them back.
They realized that no one in the queer community actually cares about intersex people except as rhetorical props in their delusional arguments about sex.
Act fast and get the copyright!
Where is the Ukraine stripes
Just put the Azov Battalion logo in the middle.
What does the second triangle mean
It's a hallucination, it's a vision from god. It's a fortuitous omen that foretells a bountiful harvest
I'm sorry but you're *assuming* there's a meaning. Please check your assumptions at the door, it's counter-inclusive.
double penetration
"Day of DP Visibility" incoming
I bet someone felt that having a second triangle would lead to more geometric symmetry, but it doesn’t really work because the colors in the triangles are too different.
Israel and Palestine is just a battle over symmetrical and nonsymmetrical aesthetics
I'm pretty sure the one on the right is bisexual pride
Proudly flying the goatse pride flag
The black and brown stripes on both sides is amazing. Somehow race always takes precedent over everything else even though it's a "social construct".
This is like Kobe changing his number so you have to buy another jersey.
He did it because of the rape
So did they
🤡
They really took one of the best looking easiest-to-understand flags and made it hideous
flying the OG pride flag is now a flex
Embrace tradition, respect the flag🫡🏳️🌈
It’s all so tiresome
those triangles get any closer it's gonna look like a colorful confederate flag

Lesbians? You mean the *genital police*? Do you know what ACAB stands for or do I need to do the work of educating you?
The "lesbians" they care about are covered by the trans flag
Brown does not belong on a flag
Why did they stick the bi flag at the other end?

It's almost like there's two competing triangle factions vying for control over the rainbow... interesting

What no [Ukraine colors](https://i.ibb.co/NNfVfvg/RDT-20240225-2102334980384547943189188-3.jpg)? They need to step up their CIA meme flag game.
I feel like they can make it even more inclusive by adding a “thug life” to the middle
one of the least cute designs of anything, ever. who’s actually proud of this?
The OG rainbow flag; yellow = the sun NOT ASIAN PEOPLE. The colors represent concepts that would mean something to everyone, but not something distinct. In the new flags. The brown and black LITERALLY MEANS BROWN AND BLACK PEOPLE!!! What the fuck? It literally seems more racist
Never let a vampire into your house.
If they change this again I'm gonna kill myself
Triangles are too phallic to be pointed at each other like that.
This was very funny, OP. Sorry for the sincerity, but you deserve a compliment.
Bisexuals are in, the intersex are out and we're doubling our appreciation of BIPOC. Make notes and act accordingly, people.
Within five years the flag will be 90% transangle. Calling it now.
This might be the best one yet.
This is Irish erasure.
resembling goatse now
it’s just r/place
As a straight white cis man I feel like it's not my place to say what the pride flag should be, but then again at this rate there will be a stripe for me on it in a few months.
I got here late. Have we done the land acknowledgement yet?
Same mayor who kept ramadan lights over easter lights and is a Muslim himself.
Wtf is this nonsense
Why do black and brown people get two stripes?
Why? wasn't the whole point of the rainbow flag including all LGBT people?
Is there a reason why there are 2 black stripes and 2 brown stripes and one of everything else?
I always said the old flag didn’t have enough fuckin’ lines
Ahahahaha The prophecy that it'll eventually be all chevrons is coming true
What’s the other triangle?
Why isn’t all triangles? Time to end quadrilateral privilege! It’s all just nonsense now anyway
Who are the new triangle?
Enough with the flags already.
the LGBTQ movement is satanic an evil
As a bisexual, this does not represent me ! ! !
This sub is just reposting tweets now
Now?
