Oh, I agree that they're making a specific and comprehensible point about race in a specific queer community. Can't verify it obviously, because I'm not part of that community, but I don't have a problem with the point they're making, and given that there will be individual acts of discrimination in just about any community, I'm happy to assume they're basing their criticism on something that's real.This flag is making quite a very specific and comprehensible point about race in a specific queer community and I'm really struggling to see what the objection is here. Talk about going out and really searching hard for things to be opposed to.
Imagine countries were to add a new stripe, form or symbol to their flag whenever they realize that they didn't quite live up to the standards that they wanted to stand for in the past.
What I'm opposed to... well, not even really opposed to. What I find irritating is how their reaction is to change the flag that was perfectly fine before, instead of fixing the problem. As if changing the flag, and by doing so destroying the metaphor, did anything. I find that hilarious to look at, because to me it's the perfect display of idiotic virtue signalling that does absolutely nothing and wasn't required in any way.
Yeah I mean how dare the humans derive meaning from symbols, how dare they
Imo it sort of beats the purpose in this case, cause the rainbow supposedly means all-inclusiveness in the first place, and then they made black/brown (?) a subgroup to stand out.

Wait til you find out about the bear flag and the asexual flag and trans flag and many more.
The Polish flag gets updated each time we send something into space
Ok, sure brown but why add black? It's not a color nor does anyone really have black skin. Also why not add white if you're going to add black?
is it a personal insult towards you that this was done? what exactly do you know about the "movement"?http://edition.cnn.com/2017/06/13/health/new-pride-flag-colors-trnd/index.html
I don't see the logic behind this. People claim the rainbow flag does not actually represent some minorities, but that's utter nonsense. The rainbow flag already represents all minorities, that's the idea behind the flag - diverse like a rainbow, all people fall under that banner.
If the actual movement doesn't live up to that goal, then that's a problem with the movement that must be fixed, not a problem with the symbol. It seems to me that this is virtue signaling of the highest order, change the symbol, instead of making the movement live up to the symbol.
The symbol was fine the way it was, a symbol that states that all people are equal and that their identities are valid, independent from who they are. Now it's a symbol that states that black people and brownshirts are a bit more equal than the rest of us. Idiots.
Although it is consistent with how they treat the LGBTQIAPK abbreviation at least.
Jeez.
There's some shimmering of brownness in the mid-shadows, true, but that's about as close as actual black as you can get without really being black.The guy looks brown to me. Very dark brown, but still.
Did I hurt your feelings?is it a personal insult towards you that this was done? what exactly do you know about the "movement"?
i'm assuming this thread should be given a miss by anyone who mentally graduated from high school

But I already gave my reasoning behind creating this thread earlier:asked you first
