Pride Month

I think the people designing this shit miss the point of flags. For the most part the simpler the design, tied in with the simpler meaning, makes a more effective ensign. We're seeing the debate in Australia where you get these idiots wanting to push forward over designed crap that is meant to represent a million and a half things, and it is all shit. For example:
View attachment 3344227
-The border is meant to represent multiculturalism (african design aparently)
-the sun is meant to reprisent the Anzacs (stolen from Army's rising sun)
-rising sun over red is mean to represent Aboriginals
-blue is an homage to original flag
-Southern Cross is a common feature for Australia and South pacific nations
-7 pointed star represents each state and the territories
-the green around the star is meant to represent green and gold, colors of the national flower the wattle
-Currently discussion was they feel they need to add more to represent LGBTQ+

It is fucking awful and is an autistic mishmash of messages that is trying to represent everyone whilst acknowledging everyone seperately (a contradictory message)

Compare to the Eureka flag, my personal choice:
View attachment 3344261

This was the flag designed for an event called the Eureka Stockade, where gold miners in victory protested British taxation and lack of representation of Non-English Australians (may sound a familiar cause). It was a protest of tax and a demand for democratic representation of native Australians in governance of the colony. It was led partly by Californians inspired by the American revolution, and the protest included Aussies, Americans, African Americans, Canadians, Chinese, Cornish, Irish, Welsh, Aboriginals and South Sea Islanders who were sick of British taxation. They got there arses kicked in the protest by the British, and a lot either got killed, deported or imprisoned. but outrage over the event led to federation in 1901 where Australia became a self-governing country as part of the commonwealth which wouldn't have happened if the Eureka Stockade didn't take place (we still need to become a Republic because we still have a bogan aristocracy who like to think they're British peers).

The design of the flag was from a Canadian, who made a stylized South Cross that was easily recognizable, that was based partly on the St Andrews cross of Scotland in protest of the Union Jack. The Southern Cross represented Australians (regardless of ethnicity) and the color and design was based on a firm rejection of the Union Jack. The Prussian blue also represented the color of clothes worn by most gold miners in Australia at the time. It is very much a fuck you to the old English acting as lords, we want a democracy. It is easily recognized, represented everyone at the protest. It has a clear meaning, and is a relatively simple design.

Fucking pride flags are the worst offendors when it comes to over design. The rainbow flag has a meaning, it is a simple meaning, and it is easily recognized. Redesigning it to make it about you, your current political cause, and to include things that have nothing to do with the LGBTQ+ community (like Black Lives Matter or the Ukraine) is an offence on both messaging and aesthetic driven purely by virtue signalling narcissism.

I don't know why but shitty flag designs are one thing that genuinely makes me MATI. It irks my particular brand of autism immensely.

The TempleOS logo would be perfect for a flag, has Australia considered that? It seems better than the shit that's being floated.

Going to stick with my Eureka mate. Honestly it looks better irl than it does when shown as a net image. And besides, we cop enough shit about being convicts without swiping directly from the intellectual property of the great Terry A Davis.

Holy fucking shit, I didnt have my first coffee of the day yet and I already snortlaughed at that dumbass flag. I wonder how many people really actually wanted this. Just imagine being an oldschool gay dude and seeing this ugly piece of poopoo in your timeline. The sheer embarrassment.

Oh I love clownworld.

If they add anything more to it, it's just going to be a mish-mash of pixels with no meaning whatsoever. The sooner the better, this bullshit should offend all amateur vexillologists, Null would sperg about it on MATI for sure.

i thought the whole reason for the rainbow flag was that it includes everyone who's gay?
because the symbolism of the rainbow is it encompasses every colour.... because it's a rainbow
never understood adding more bs to an already good looking flag (as a symbol of a diverse community I mean). why muddy it it brown and black stripes for I don't know what reasons, the intersex flag and now the Ukrainian flag- which isn't a sexuality, gender or a type of intersex.

it's just shitty vexillology at this point

fags don't get flags apparently.

Nobody got the memo that Ukraine is an incredibly anti-LGBTQ country? Not to mention quite racist?

In a 2010 European study, 28% of Ukrainians polled believed that LGBT individuals should live freely and however they like. However by 2017, a poll found that 56% of Ukrainians believed that gay and bisexual individuals should enjoy equal rights, marking a significant shift in public opinion

In 2021 the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association has ranked Ukraine 39th out of 49 European countries in terms of LGBT rights legislation, similarly to EU members Lithuania and Romania.

Not to mention NOT A FUCKING SEXUAL ORIENTATION

Somebody really needs to get boomers like me up to speed wtf all the shit on the flag means nowadays. For real: the original rainbow colors werent enough? We have to plaster the flag that is supposed to represent the centuries long struggle of homosexual people to not get their fucking heads caved in for being gay with all this other shit? Why the fuck is there a brown line? Is that the poopoo eating community?! Why the fuck is the poopoo eating community included?

This is fucking insane.

Erm, apparently you got the memo that Ukraine is the new BLM. Don't make a mockery of this, just because you hate faggots and jews doesn't mean you have to hate faggots.
