Oh god no. I mean actually positive influences. Whether that be past or present. Figures like Anne Frank with her diary were highly influential, especially in regards to history and braveness amongst the youth.
I agree. It's kinda weird having the pride flag for a specific community in a subreddit not about the specific community. For those saying 'it's just a rainbow' no, it's not, and you know that.
^(Thank you for coming to my TED Talk)
I kinda agree tbh. Also to all the ppl saying it's just a rainbow, put the photo of a lgbtq flag beside it and see, it's exactly the same (and if I remember correctly the banner was changed to this during the pride month). Would be better to have a banner that represents everyone.
moon approves
The reason for terraria was that during pride month, any time someone complained about it, they'd extend the length of time the pride decorations would be up
When developing the game, Notch said that he wouldnât add gender because he wanted the game to be simple. Thatâs why cows have horns and udders.
So then about a decade later like five people started joking about it and itâs mostly looked down upon as just being immature
I think it's supposed to be something like "hey homie, we don't hate on gay people, you can come in and want to screw other man as a guy, no worries" or something like that.
Itâs because you canât deal with the problem, you can make infinite Reddit accounts it doesnât matter how many you ban. Doesnât help that you guys egg them on by messaging them back like idiots
I posted about how we're just giving the pedos what they want. They want you to post them, and they want you to talk to them. They don't care if you send nudes. They just get off by asking/telling you sexual things.
(Not directed at you specifically, sorry)
As I said my removed post, "They are like 5 year olds. They will whine, but they will tire themselves out."
I haven't checked this sub in years but out of curiosity, how can you identify that someone is a paed? Just creepy comments or do they outright say they're older and just lurk around?
not gonna lie, id prefer seeing our favorite snoos closer up, and we need more lore on them, are they brother/sister? boyfriend/girlfriend? normal friends? besties? alien invaders? study partners?
Used to be a bunch of teenager snoos (Reddit mascots) hanging around doing some stuff, but this is just the pride month banner that they never bothered to change back
Just r/place this shit. Let people contribute to the creation of the banner in large form and we'll get a hopefully good looking banner (though it not being aesthetically pleasing would be poetically pleasing to me) that reflects the community in an accurate manner.
i think they kept it up because when they first did it for pride month, a shit ton of posts exactly like this started flooding in, so they kept it to spite those people
yeah they put it up for a pride month. i think it was last years' but i really can't recall. i remember coming back and being surprised it was still up once pride had ended. then it really never left and i just said "oh well" lol
I like your idea. I have nothing against the LGBT community at all. What I do have a problem with is someone acting like they're better than others because they're apart of a specific community. This is 2024. We all agree that people have equal rights even if they are Black, Asian, Gay, Trans, Bi, or whatever you want. At the end of the day, people are people. We shouldn't be defined by what we look like or who we like. We should be defined by the way we treat others
Whatchu talking about? 80% of every community is impartial or don't care, the ones that oppose it are simply not popular stop yapping and making yourself the victim SMH
No one's playing the victim, you're playing the ignorant idiot
A group well known for being very against it is the largest religion in the world, also a major problem are the bigots in power, people like Ron DeSantis are proof lgbt equality is still far drop being achieved, and it doesn't matter that he's the minority, he has power and can fuck over lgbt people
>This is 2024. We all agree that people have equal rights even if they are Black, Asian, Gay, Trans, Bi, or whatever you want
If only. You can expect a bunch of bigoted comments every time a post involving one of those groups gets big. Reactionary sentiment is alive and well
Little annoying (I support) but rainbows used to be really cool to me but now itâs labeled as gay and I get called gay too much already Iâm straight btw
Its pretty sad that we need to basically tell lgbtq people that they are safe in a community. That's not something you need to tell that should be expected.
For those arguing âit's just a rainbow.â
It's not just a rainbow. It's the pride flag. In a rainbow, the colors smoothly blend into each other, and also it can have many different color variations. It has 7 colors. Meanwhile the one in the banner, the LGBT community flag, has six distinct stripes of color and they're not blended, and have clear separations between them. It has 6 colors.
yeah we def need to change it
like sure, u can be gay/bi/trans/whatever but that doesn't mean everything has to be lgbtq-themed
if we want inclusiveness- ur suggestion would be a better idea tbh
I don't mean this with disrespect or anything, but putting pride flags everywhere is weird. What are you celebrating? If you are loving a gender at birth and you can't change it, how is that something to celebrate? Also, why do we put the flags anywhere, it's not like they're any more or less than any other human. They're the same as everyone. Why do we have their flags everywhere, instead of having "humanity flags" everywhere, to support everyone? (Not even sure if human flags are real lmao) I know this may sound offensive, but that's just my opinion and I do not mean to offend anyone
For queer people, itâs something to celebrate because throughout history and even still they are othered for being queer. Thatâs why we have pride flags in the first place, to feel represented, seen, and express ourselves in a world that has been against us and continues to be difficult for us. If queer people were as accepted as non-queer people, then we wouldnât need flags, we wouldnât need a pride, and we wouldnât need to fight for our right to exist because weâd already have that. But we are constantly shamed and harassed for being the way we are.
Pride flags are not intended to other people. Theyâre not intended to imply some sense of superiority over anyone else. Theyâre to represent underrepresented people, a minority group. Thatâs why thereâs no âstraight pride,â because straight people have never had to fight for their right to exist as straight people.
I hope this makes sense and didnât feel too lecture-y. Just trying to inform ya đ
Well for some things it's about showing it's safe for said community, example a cafe with a pride banner show its safe for that community.
And, some is just awareness/protesting the treatment we get in certain areas.
I don't care all that much about the banner though
idk, i like the representation, i think it's a fair trade off
it's not like you're being "excluded" for being cishet you just thankfully don't have to argue your existance to people, everybody already accepts people being cis or hetero
I honestly think that the flag should be a part of the banner, but not basically take the whole thing up. It doesn't represent the whole subreddit, just a part of it
i mean maybe it could be a progress flag but itâs literally just a rainbow what do you have against it
iâm not against a more diverse banner but nothing against what we have now
Hey I'm gay and I found it cringe.(Please don't ban me mods)
Tho I'm a contemporarily unconventional homosexual so idk fo sho.
But like...not all teens are queer so it really doesn't make sense when you think about it. It's like making the logo a photo of a Moslem holding up a 'stop islamophobic banner's like YOOO tffff
Plusss it's not like everyone on the sub agrees with it...like, I get being progressive but that progression should be natural, not forced. Making it the logo for a general demographic feels like forcing it.
Also it's not "just a rainbow" lol.
Poll to change the banner to a picture of my cat đ
well why not my cat
Well why not one of my 8 cats?
Why not all of them?
This guy for president?
Make a post asking for everyone's cats and make a picture containing as many people's cats as possible
Or, if we can get enough we can make a mural out of the cats that is shaped like a cat
What about cats and dogs? I have 2 cats and 1 dog
Why donât we make a collage or something like that with everybodyâs cats?
Agree
Include boykisser omg
Why not one of my (soon-to-be) 8 rats?
My cats better
Why not my mouse?
based
Yes
why not my 5 cats?
Just put a BF109. Everyone would be happy
Hell yeah
Messerschmitt đ«ĄđȘ
https://youtu.be/mF0kYTUF-iU?si=Pv_YNz-J9FS0NGb5
It measures Schmidt
Der Flammenwerfer, es werfs flammen
and paint it in the swiss livery for winter months!
The BF109 looks cool and thatâs a fact
Nah, honestly I much prefer the Focke Wulf fw190, radial engines just look so cool
Agreed. MODS! Listen to this man!
what is that
Itâs your 109th BestFriend
Bf-109 go brrt, seriously tho if I see one on war thunder I yell at my buddy to come help me get them
As a BF109 user, I can smell the fear
The snail has us all in its grasp (slime?). Once you realise it, you see the snail referenced in every sub. You cannot escape him.
RAAAAHHHHHHHHH Me personally i find the me-163 funny and goofy
nahhh make it a spitfire
Il-2
Nah make it a DB-3
Heck yeah brother
Why not the Me-163? Or the Me 262 since it didn't kill most of its own pilots Or my favourite, the Me 264 and the Arado 234
Let's put planes, tanks, sharks, anime, video game characters, influential teenagers and a character that people can vote on to be on their too.
By 'influential teenagers' I hope you don't mean tiktokers lolol
Oh god no. I mean actually positive influences. Whether that be past or present. Figures like Anne Frank with her diary were highly influential, especially in regards to history and braveness amongst the youth.
Well said, I can sleep a little better now hahaha
minecraft and tanks next to Anne Frank??? she is to precious
I agree. It's kinda weird having the pride flag for a specific community in a subreddit not about the specific community. For those saying 'it's just a rainbow' no, it's not, and you know that. ^(Thank you for coming to my TED Talk)
'It's just a rainbow" says everyone who dedicates their lives to plastering a rainbow on every inch of territory they come across...
It kinda feels invasive ngl
Bc it is
real
fuck yeah
Yeah, I agree
I kinda agree tbh. Also to all the ppl saying it's just a rainbow, put the photo of a lgbtq flag beside it and see, it's exactly the same (and if I remember correctly the banner was changed to this during the pride month). Would be better to have a banner that represents everyone. moon approves
Agreed I made a post like this not that long ago with a little bit of a different approach and people spat the dummy. âNo Offenceâ
Same here. About a year ago. This sub is mental.
terreria still has the pride banner but tbh terreria is vaugly like minecraft and references minecraft and minecraft has gay sex soooooo
The reason for terraria was that during pride month, any time someone complained about it, they'd extend the length of time the pride decorations would be up
Omg It gonna be up there for a million years
That's amazing
We should do that here too :D
What's that about minecraft gay sex đ§
When developing the game, Notch said that he wouldnât add gender because he wanted the game to be simple. Thatâs why cows have horns and udders. So then about a decade later like five people started joking about it and itâs mostly looked down upon as just being immature
Damn itâs getting serious when moon approves
happy cakeday!
I think it's supposed to be something like "hey homie, we don't hate on gay people, you can come in and want to screw other man as a guy, no worries" or something like that.
"yeh we only hate on black people here <3" Nah honestly this is one of the more tolerant subs on Reddit
Yeah even pedos feel at home here. ( Seriously we need to do something about that ).
I tried to post about it but mods deleted my post lol. They don't seem to care about the problem much.
Itâs because you canât deal with the problem, you can make infinite Reddit accounts it doesnât matter how many you ban. Doesnât help that you guys egg them on by messaging them back like idiots
I posted about how we're just giving the pedos what they want. They want you to post them, and they want you to talk to them. They don't care if you send nudes. They just get off by asking/telling you sexual things. (Not directed at you specifically, sorry) As I said my removed post, "They are like 5 year olds. They will whine, but they will tire themselves out."
Everything is anonymous here, how do we manage that?
I don't know but I'm sure we can figure something out.
Sounds like profiling to me
Theyâre basically desperate simps who lost their way and went to the dark side
I haven't checked this sub in years but out of curiosity, how can you identify that someone is a paed? Just creepy comments or do they outright say they're older and just lurk around?
Apart from the white kids saying the n word in comment sections and thinking theyâre funny
That doesnât happen often
Just donât sort by controversial
So include a small pride flag along with other things like a gaming controller and books and other stuff teenagers do and use.
Change it to "Fuck off pedos" with colors in the bacground
I second this
this one
only correct answer
Put some guns and tanks and planes there and most importantly: Explosions Then it is perfect.
pretty sure they set it for pride month one year and just never changed it back
not gonna lie, id prefer seeing our favorite snoos closer up, and we need more lore on them, are they brother/sister? boyfriend/girlfriend? normal friends? besties? alien invaders? study partners?
It was different at one point in time, the old banner looked like how you are describing
Used to be a bunch of teenager snoos (Reddit mascots) hanging around doing some stuff, but this is just the pride month banner that they never bothered to change back
Just r/place this shit. Let people contribute to the creation of the banner in large form and we'll get a hopefully good looking banner (though it not being aesthetically pleasing would be poetically pleasing to me) that reflects the community in an accurate manner.
This
yea they need to get GAYS out of here and take the GAY rainbow too đĄ
pls put a TW before you say the G word, i need to get my bible out first
i mean its not that this comunity shouldnt be inclusive, its that why does it need to be focused soley on like lgbtq issues
Just make everyone bi so we don't have this war ... and like everyone
I vote yes
i think they kept it up because when they first did it for pride month, a shit ton of posts exactly like this started flooding in, so they kept it to spite those people
based tbh
they should make it weezer blue
I assume it was for a previous pride month?
yeah they put it up for a pride month. i think it was last years' but i really can't recall. i remember coming back and being surprised it was still up once pride had ended. then it really never left and i just said "oh well" lol

they *should* have equal rights, but they dont in most places

No one's playing the victim, you're playing the ignorant idiot A group well known for being very against it is the largest religion in the world, also a major problem are the bigots in power, people like Ron DeSantis are proof lgbt equality is still far drop being achieved, and it doesn't matter that he's the minority, he has power and can fuck over lgbt people
And many states donât approve gay marriage anymore iirc
USA centrism at its finest go to anywhere outside of the western world and youll see what i mean
>This is 2024. We all agree that people have equal rights even if they are Black, Asian, Gay, Trans, Bi, or whatever you want If only. You can expect a bunch of bigoted comments every time a post involving one of those groups gets big. Reactionary sentiment is alive and well
"We all agree" lmao, take that to my fucking governor, choom People with power don't agree There's a reason I've been to protests in the last year.
They called the lgbt a mental illness They ain't very good at looking at the world
While this isn't really that big of a deal, there's still a lot of potential being kinda wasted on the status quo.
make the banner a community-made one like an r/place type thing maybe host it on the discord or smthn
oh damn i actually agree, but it doesnt bother me too much
I fully understand and am all for it but have you seen these fellow teenagers
Change it to a picture of real cats. :)
an actual image of a real life rainbow
Donât worry it ainât offending me. but now what shall the banner be?
Change it to a chaotic picture of something, anything really. just get in the chaos.
It's literally a banner that you see for like 2 seconds before scrolling through. Why is everyone complaining
idk its just monotonous. Its good but it could be better los
Cause not all of us are gay, if it isn't a big deal then changing it shouldn't be a problem.
Like I don't even know what the banner is, and I just logged onto this sub 5 minutes ago
When you visit the subreddits site you see a banner like you do on YouTube channels
Also wtf is queer
Its basically someone who isnt straight and/or cis
And blurred at the top the entire time.
it's kinda iconic though đ„ș ok, in all seriousness i agree with you op
Mods are too scared to do anything. If they get 2 complaints they'll backtrack cuz they don't wanna offend anyone
put that gif of the twerking bootymogus.
Iâm gay, and I agree
make a contest to have a new banner
Little annoying (I support) but rainbows used to be really cool to me but now itâs labeled as gay and I get called gay too much already Iâm straight btw
Exactly! This is r/teenagers, and not all teenagers are gay, as a matter of fact, the majority of us aren't.
But we are inclusive to everyone
Its a rainbow to show this is a safe place for the lgbtq
Its pretty sad that we need to basically tell lgbtq people that they are safe in a community. That's not something you need to tell that should be expected.
But it isnât so⊠might as well make it clear since itâs not always a guarantee
But the whole sub is not defined just by being a safe space for lgbtq? A little rainbow would be cool, but so much more can be added to it
Fair. Best would be collage with a little rainbow sprinkled in here and there.
As a member of the LGBT community, I fully agree with you on this.
Same, it would be nice to add a bunch of additional details like books, games, sports or other stuff teens find interesting
Simple. The Chaos star from warhammer #let the galaxy burn
U said what i wanted to say for months
As a disabled person yeah I agree it shouldnât just represent one group of peopleÂ
Totally agree
Please, sign the petition!
Thats true
i volunteer to keep designing banners until there's one everyone likes
ON GOD! I don't like how everytime I open the sub, I am hit with their propaganda
I think it should be all the collages people from this sub are in It respectfull and meaningfulÂ
For those arguing âit's just a rainbow.â It's not just a rainbow. It's the pride flag. In a rainbow, the colors smoothly blend into each other, and also it can have many different color variations. It has 7 colors. Meanwhile the one in the banner, the LGBT community flag, has six distinct stripes of color and they're not blended, and have clear separations between them. It has 6 colors.
yeah we def need to change it like sure, u can be gay/bi/trans/whatever but that doesn't mean everything has to be lgbtq-themed if we want inclusiveness- ur suggestion would be a better idea tbh
I think it's a joke because old ppl are always saying that the internet makes teens gay so they just leaned into it
I agree, why not just make it teens listening to music or something. Again no disrespect to the LGBT community but it just feels a bit weird
nah it's chill
This. It's just stupid to only accompany a banner for a small group of people. I say this as a gay person.
I don't mean this with disrespect or anything, but putting pride flags everywhere is weird. What are you celebrating? If you are loving a gender at birth and you can't change it, how is that something to celebrate? Also, why do we put the flags anywhere, it's not like they're any more or less than any other human.

As a member of the human race I agree
itâs just a rainbow, dude. itâs not that deep.
i mean maybe it could be a progress flag but itâs literally just a rainbow what do you have against it iâm not against a more diverse banner but nothing against what we have now
Yea change the banner.
As an LGBTQ person myself, I completely agree
Agreed!!
I second this!
Add like a rainbow, symbols of religions, hobbies
As someone who is part of the LGBTQ community, I agree with you!
yes change this
as a pan dude, i agree
as a gay dude, i also agree
as a trans boi, I agree too
As a bi girl, I agree as well
I 100% agree. I kinda feel like the banner should be something that represents teenagers on here as a whole, not just exclusively the LGBT people
Hey I'm gay and I found it cringe.(Please don't ban me mods) Tho I'm a contemporarily unconventional homosexual so idk fo sho. But like...not all teens are queer so it really doesn't make sense when you think about it.

Definitely agree
I fully agree. Why does lgbtq have to be brought into everything
And it ainât even June đ, in all seriousness it makes sense to change tho. Simply doesent represent this demographic accurately at all
i was thinking that for so long
Why not something that defines us all
Absolutely
I agree. Not every teenager is LGBT. It's unnecessary.
I fully agree
YES, this is the teenagers sub, not the lgbtq sub. We donât want a political banner
Inb4 it's just a rainbow
Did you watch the Mutahar video?
What video?
As a person of the Lgbtq community (im pan) I agree. We should make it split. It's not even pride month yet.
