It's everything, everything but subdued.
Here's the German pride flag! #pridemonth
You sure it isn't a fire warning scale instead?
Or a low res sunset?
Self-care scale to help flame atronachs determine if they're starting to experience burnout
I can't tell if this is ragebait, you're just trolling, you're genuinely unaware OR if I have missed the moment when this flag's meaning got reclaimed
Either way it’s tasteless.
I was out of the loop, so I'll leave this here for anyone else who is as well: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Stolzmonat
Thank you both for pointing out that this is not a positive symbol.
What is this flag, other than a striated version of the modern German flag?
It was created by the German right-wing. OP says he was trying to reclaim it, but I dont think there's anything to reclaim here.
This is just a little step towards reclaiming it :) (And a little trollin)
I made one with the flag of the Flemish nationalists, who are usually anti-lgbt, to piss them off.
the lion is a symbol of pride
pride in being a racist yes
Nice
NGL, this goes hard
Its like the lion is hypnotizing me with his dancing to be gayer
maaaan I really wanted the Maryland flag to be official, but it was made by someone on /r/vexillology
it's official in my heart
/r/vexillology is one of the only things I miss from the other site.
Do you subscribe to !vexillology@lemmy.world at all? It's decently big, but you're right about missing the one from the other side.
actually, maryland looks sick
Yes, literally. Probably contagious too. Watch out or you'll catch the gay. Ohh, so that's the plan. Sneaky, I like it.
come to gay maryland, flag is sick but it's absolutely safe to kiss, we swear by it!
j/k am not from there, but like the design xD
I am, and I endorse this message.
Maryland gang, wya?
indoors, i hope
It's hot out there
Tell me about it.
Right here. Our flag is the best US state flag, with maybe some competition from Arizona.
Nice try Big Data you'll never find out I'm from Maryland!
Ok.
Am I the only one who doesn't mind the Brazilian pride flag?
what is it?
there's different versions but this one doesn't look too bad
I love it.
But also, aw my eyes!
The yellow stripe clashing with the diamond looks very janky to me :/
Yeah, the diamond should be the black/brown and the rainbow in the middle should be the trans colors
fair, they should have done the diamond also in stripes, similar to the progress pride flag
This one is so much better than the Dutch pride flag in the post. It's awesome
Does anyone else have trouble loading catbox files or the main site?
Yep, sometimes they just don't load for me. I use Thunder as my client
Maryland just works TOO well
That Maryland design is amazing.
This is just perfect because the Maryland flag was already a Unity flag post civil war. Now it's a Pride Unity Flag.
I love my state's flag. It is a great design. Got a giant one in my basement.
Edit: tried to add a picture. Not cool enough to figure it out.
on my end pictures are just a custom link with an exclamation point added to the start, so
