Collecting orphans always felt weird . . .

[Cynical Asshole]

NO! Just...NO!

[Twdft]

Wake me up when I can collect adopt Dwarven children.

[haediff]

[Daywalk3r]

What does the children's week have to do with all the pride flags in Dornogal?

It's a rainbow...

Can't even show a pixel spider without triggering people now? This is why China is winning...

What pride flags what are you talking about? You mean the easter flags/banners?

Yes, they have the LGBTQ colors exactly, so... How would anyone think of them as easter(bunny) flags?
Never seen that flag used like that in my over 40 years.. so what am i missing?

[Cynical Asshole]

They're not pride flags, they have more to do with kids stuff. They even put a couple of clouds in there too, so it doesn't look too much like the pride flag. There aren't any clouds on the pride flag.

That's why im asking.
Cause if you look up a pride flag, it is literally the same colors in the same order... so obviously that's the first thing that comes to mind when you look at it, at least for me.

I don't think political "messages" should be in videogames, they are a form of escapism, so you may understand that i was rather shocked when i logged into Dornogal today.

I rarely say this but wow, go touch grass.

....the amount of people that weren't taught ROYGBV is almost as staggering and depressing as the fact that those same people are triggered by a rainbow...

Like how do y'all go out after a rainstorm look up and not get angry

[doledippers]

....the amount of people that weren't taught ROYGBV is almost as staggering and depressing

man discovers rainbows (2025, colorized)

[Daywalk3r]

Or gaslighting

I'm sorry guys, i guess i'll just consume product and don't ask questions.

you werent asking questions, you made an assumption (an incorrect one, at that) due to your ignorance

[Daywalk3r]

It's ok, enjoy your rainbows.
Have a good day.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

God imagine being so brain damaged by identity politics that you see a rainbow between clouds and think it’s a pride flag.

Like what do you do after every rain fall yell at the sky for ruining your escapism?

How do you even see the rainbow through your brain fog?
