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.
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.
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. :/
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.
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
“Well, you know, you’ll just be sitting there, minding your own business, and they’ll come, marching in and crawl up your leg and start biting the inside of your ass, and you’ll be all like: ‘EHY! GET OUT OF MY ASS YOU STUPID RAINBOWS!’”
That rainbow effect is just the default demo mode and is the peripheral’s manufacturer’s way to advertise that the LEDs inside are RGB. This means that the LEDs can be customized to be any color or combination of color that the owner wants at the press of a button. It eas say and simple to do.
The whole point of it is customization. And yet for some reason a lot of people leave it on the default demo rainbow mode after buying it.
I’m sure a fair chunk of people are like me that don’t care about RGB and only got it because it’s easier/cheaper to get components with RGB than without. And I’m not downloading bloatware just to turn it off.
There is FOSS that can control most RGB schemes that can be controlled from software.
Though I’m sortof like you in that I installed nothing, so I don’t have references or a user experience. Luckily, I could turn off all the BS in the BIOS, so I have a nice and dark machine without having to dig.
