In every one of the pics above, it’s all flappy and wavey. Even here in this emoji 🏳️‍🌈 it’s nice and curvy.

If you’re them seeing straight, it’s because you want to. 😘

Damn you and your gay logic. This is the kind of trickery Republicans fear.

You win this round

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but they can be won over with better education and rainbows and using trickery for entertainment purposes as flamboyant magicians with buxom assistants.

Which is why the republicans fear them. Lure them in with those things then BAM hit them with the ol education trap and make them better people.

Insidious really.

...It's uh straight when viewed on Windows

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

As if anyone here needed another reason not to use windows, lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Lol, use Linux, it’s super gay. You’ve got to arch. Your back, that is. Also, pop, as fun to dance.

I’m not even gonna mention deepin.

There's also ArchBang, or Goobunto

Wonder if that's browser specific or version specific, because that's not how I'm seeing it in Chrome on Windows 10

I see a bendy flag on chrome/10

I just checked on Windows 11 Chrome and got the same flag I had above in Firefox. Google does have their own set of emojis, but it'd be odd for them to not render it the same on W11.

Making the pride flag straight is a form of assault. Change my mind.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I like your mind as is.

It’s nice that somebody does
