I honestly thought it was just a way for manufacturers to showcase the colours their gear could produce, but that it also turns out a lot of people are either too lazy to set up their own colour configurations
So? I don’t care what it’s associated with because 1) I’m not a homophobe 2) the color spectrum is neat. All the colors we can see, represented in a neat continuum. It’s just pleasing to the eye.
PC gamers: either gay or confident enough in their sexuality to not be scared of being associated with rainbows.
At least I’d like to think that, but then gamergate was a thing, so it’s probably more accurate to say that a bunch think rainbows are gay but their rainbow LEDs are an exception or some shit.
I think gamergate was actually pushed pretty far by political actors. I believe that scumbag Steve Bannon actually had a lot of involvement there because he wanted to propagndize to “rootless white men” and create an army of assholes to vote the way he wants. :/
Yeah I know words change over time, but wood meaning that was probably to avoid saying penis or something like that, They couldve adopted a different flag, like they did with the trans one. Now maybe they could chose this to avoid censorship, not sure, that makes sense
You want to pick a new symbol for the gays, but you want to use a symbol that has no other meaning associated with it. Can’t use multicoloured arcs because that already symbolizes the rainbow itself. So by that logic, you can’t use ANY existing concept or image of any previously existing thing.
Dude, just be honest with yourself. The Gays give you weird feelings you’re not willing to examine.
My husband is a pc gamer and it’s seeping into other aspects of his life too. He just bought a bunch of rgb spotlights for the front of our house for Christmas. What’s Christmas about rgb? Not sure but I’m just a console gamer so what do I know.
My super gay PC is better than all consoles because it’s in a same-sex relationship with the toaster. The microwave is a republican, though, so there’s a lot of tension in the kitchen. I’m looking into getting a new microwave that’s less bigoted.
