[00:32:19] new createaccount idea [00:32:45] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1355701249571553422/h.png?ex=67e9e2ad&is=67e8912d&hm=7b03aacf4c5b4f3ad7ac5dd2ffc0370df43184d0f990b40f2ecbaea25236712d& [00:37:41] Please add Hetero characters as well then 🤷🏻 [01:58:51] :straight_pride_flag: 🤔 [02:23:10] Whu [02:38:21] it's the straight pride flag [06:02:56] I wonder why it's black and white. [06:03:15] that's because cishet folx are boring [06:03:24] wowowwo [06:03:26] such a hater [06:04:50] no idea tbh [06:04:59] wikipedia or its source on the black-and-white version doesn't mention a reason [06:10:44] https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/06/04/yes-a-straight-pride-flag-exists/ [06:14:33] I don't like how this news piece blows off any type of pride other than LBGTQI+ as trolling or mimicry. [06:15:11] That stance is counterintuitive to their own arguments. [06:32:17] Sure, I understand there are redneck republican dickwads who want to be anti-lgbtqi+ and that but labelling everyone that is heterosexual under that umbrella of negativity and hatred, is just as bad as what they're doing. [08:21:23] and they wonder why young people polled so bloody high for red team this last time [09:51:33] Maybe I missed something, but the article seems to speak specifically about a few specific anti-lgbt movements, not all flags..? [09:51:51] Like, for example, a pride flag for being anti-trans is like ??? wth [09:55:08] queer pride symbols are us celebrating not having to hide ourselves to avoid happening to us just for being alive and not cis/het.. whereas being straight has never been illegal anywhere afaik.. [09:59:21] [1/2] I'm just.. kinda confused at this. not sure where the article labels all heterosexual people as anti-gay, but maybe i missed that part. Just because some dickwad made a "pride" flag about their dickwadery and called it the "straight pride flag" or smth that kinda sounds like you're wrapped in that too doesn't mean that you are. Nor does it mean that queer folks [09:59:21] [2/2] do or should hate literally all cis/het folks categorically, any more than feminists hate literally all men categorically. [10:05:25] Thanks for telling mew, ya she texted me after nyan [10:12:04] [1/2] i made an update [10:12:04] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1355847037018439870/Screenshot_2025-03-30_at_20-58-24_Create_account_-_Rainverse_Wiki.png?ex=67ea6a74&is=67e918f4&hm=5d99c1b321d4c9d6fb02cb527a0e4e89bacb8baab59d1ff8243c01aad14e1f31& [11:08:05] [1/12] If I were to make a list like that about how many 10 black, 25 white, 2 yellow, 2 brown characters, I would face accusations of discriminations. [11:08:06] [2/12] We're all humans, no matter how we look or feel. [11:08:06] [3/12] Putting people in boxes, (or placing yourself in a box) is not harmonising, but dividing us. [11:08:06] [4/12] I don't mind that someone wants to draw attention to human rights, to express themselves. What I do mind is that it is constant. [11:08:07] [5/12] Now I have absolutely no authority in this, so this is my own personal view. [11:08:07] [6/12] What I do want to ask you though, is to tone it down, because you are (imho) creating a tiredness in the acceptance of people who identify differently than the straights. [11:08:07] [7/12] And no, this does not mean I am against people who identify as lgbtqi+, on the contrary, I believe that everyone should be respected as equal. But to me, the constant pushing of lgbtqi+ makes it feel as the only thing that matters. [11:08:07] [8/12] If you don't identify with some kind of flag/box/label, you surely going to feel outside the community here. [11:08:08] [9/12] It's likely that I am getting stick from this, but I feel that it had to be said. [11:08:08] [10/12] It is discouraged to talk about religion, politics, etc. as these are sensitive topics. So you don't see me talking in here about topics that interest me and identify me. I feel that lgbtqi+ should be treated in the same way. Otherwise it could easily be seen as propaganda, which is counterintuitive to what you are trying to convey. [11:08:08] [11/12] And I do understand that this server is a safe space, and it should be so too. But it still could do harm to the cause. [11:08:09] [12/12] I hope I am not insensitive, or create animosity. That's not what this message is about. I just want you to understand how this makes me feel, and others might feel the same way. [11:17:36] The reason why there's "constant pushing of lgbtqi+" is because there's not enough listening on the side of the cishets [11:18:14] Though the above is just casual queer folks being queer and celebrating being queer [11:31:29] [1/4] In here it's "preaching to your own" as many in this server identify as lhbtqi+ [11:31:29] [2/4] I come from the Netherlands, which is one of the most liberal and most accepting of lhbtqi+. My town was one of the first to host "Pink Monday" on the Funfair, so I grew up with it. [11:31:29] [3/4] But I always respected the stance to "not be in your face". Sometimes I feel that it is exactly that. There isn't a day where it isn't discussed, presented without context, etc. It can be too much. [11:31:30] [4/4] And it's not the post above on itself, I react on, it's just the latest of a large amount of posts. [11:37:09] lhbtqi ? [11:39:12] "Not be in your face" is such an entitled attitude. You are free to believe that, but you won't get very positive reactions from that. *It's fine if people get hurt if I don't see it" is not great. [11:39:59] (typo i presume) [11:40:10] I would've presumed too but it was typed like that 2 times [11:40:31] either that or brainfart, it happens sometimes ^^; [11:41:23] ngl, i would respond to more, but idk how to do so without sounding inflammatory, so i'll leave things here myself [11:42:04] I've spelt certain words wrong four times in a row in a single paragraph once because the letters were right next to each other. [11:42:15] Fair [11:42:18] That's why I asked x3 [11:43:09] I think the worst offending word I write wrong is friend, but comes out as griend. [11:43:20] And if I'm only watching my screen it changes to grind [11:43:27] AHAHA [11:44:06] Although sometimes the letters don't have to be next to each other, I write fandom as fadnom sometimes if I'm in a hurry to do something. [11:44:38] Fair, Fadom is not worth time time to spell their name correctly anyway [11:44:47] i guess the h stands for homosexual instead of gay [11:45:19] gay gay homosexual gay [11:52:21] oh the dream to be both gay an d homosexual, I think the secret government prevents us from being superpowered [11:52:44] Ehehe [11:53:06] It's the gaylominnati [11:56:51] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1355873406079467600/1d9735ff020ac084.png?ex=67ea8302&is=67e93182&hm=e22a7dafbc682cd5a1b3898e898e22e65af593677e7a1e893366ea9261ad1b5f& [11:57:14] And they just had to pick the inferior non-free flag for this [12:01:00] non free flag? [12:01:01] In the Netherlands and Denmark we use lhbtqi indeed. [12:01:06] huh okay [12:01:23] Why don't you guys use the ohio flag as the pride flag [12:01:45] https://youtu.be/UakbcKb_154 [12:01:51] My favourite video about the flags. [12:01:55] LOL [12:02:04] What are you guys o about [12:03:26] ahaha [12:03:54] YOU'LL NEVER OHIO MY AUSTRALIA!!! [12:04:11] ahem [12:04:14] To the sigmas of Australia [12:04:41] https://www.youtube.com/shorts/oCG-CVyqqM4 [12:04:49] non-shorts ver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQi9uFPEOWY [12:21:49] @blankeclair what's your wiki again I can't member [12:21:59] https://rainverse.wiki [12:22:13] I'm gonna vandalise it with images of kittens!!!!! [12:22:25] please don't [12:22:27] Yea, author is claiming trademark on it and restricting usage [12:22:29] do images of bunnies instead >:3 [12:22:35] ewwwww [12:22:38] Yea [12:22:39] bnuy!!! [12:22:42] BNUY [12:22:46] BNUY [12:22:54] I fucking hate people restricting flags because of profit. [12:23:06] The artist behind the Aboriginal Flag did it and Australia was pissed over it. [12:23:17] I'm so happy that it's Government property now, which means it's public for all Australian citizens. [12:23:32] it feels weird for the australian government to be buying the aboriginal flag [12:23:34] Although to make merchandise with the flag you still need to license it from the original company the artist worked with, so fuck them ig. [12:23:36] but here we are i suppose [12:23:40] That's what you get when you use the intelectual property of someone else [12:23:57] Well, it represents them. (whether they want it to or not) and it shouldn't be privately owned, it should be free to use. [12:24:02] Like the Torrens Straight Islander Flag. [12:24:02] what's the point of a flag if you're restricted from flying it... [12:24:26] Well... you can't fly the flag of the king... [12:24:26] That's not how IP works [12:24:44] i _think_ it's copyright that applies here? [12:24:52] Exactly [12:24:59] It is when it was an artwork comissioned by the Australian Government, he was never supposed to keep the rights to that flag. [12:25:04] It's copyright protected [12:25:26] Supposed to has nothing to do with it [12:25:28] Also, Australian Copyright is different. [12:25:34] Nope [12:25:50] Copyright is a flawed system that fucking sucks ass and needs to need revamped desperately [12:25:59] YES [12:26:00] No it isn't [12:26:01] Copyright is a drag on social progression and the evolution of our species. [12:26:05] reminds me of what a_lilian said [12:26:14] It protects the right of the one who created it [12:26:21] "cori [a tts model] is in the public domain, which means she belongs to no one, and thus everyone" [12:26:23] Copyright shouldn't exist anymore, it hinders the growth of creativity and the ability to adapt and expand on works. [12:26:36] I never said that [12:26:42] That is how it was for centuries before Governments formed. [12:26:44] This is good [12:26:46] in case of music industry, creators are constantly getting fucked by labels/copyright owners [12:27:06] But the way it does it sucks at times [12:27:13] Without it, they wouldn't see a penny [12:27:34] not all of us are saying to abolish copyright... [12:27:39] I am literally still laying in my bed I am not arguing about fucking copyright [12:27:42] more so revamping tbh :/ [12:27:48] I am 100% for copyright law [12:27:49] me too bestie [12:27:50] I would love to see Copyright abolished. [12:28:04] Won't happen [12:28:14] why [12:28:15] It will one day, you just can't imagine it happening. [12:28:41] [1/2] copyright restricts access to art to ridiculous degree, take spotify's regional restrictions [12:28:41] [2/2] and people wonder why bootlegs were a big deal in the past [12:28:50] Copyright is big business. So yes. as long as it has value in it, it stays well alive [12:29:24] Money talks [12:29:43] It's a terrible system, among others in our daily lives, it rarely protects artists rights, and even if you hold the rights to it, anyone can try to claim otherwise, and a lot of people are winning in that regard. [12:29:47] And I am happy to enforce it as well [12:29:54] As Legroom said, music labels and such are more powerful than Copyright law it seems. [12:30:10] doesn't stop us from talking about it? [12:30:13] For as long as Capitalism lives. [12:30:30] Capitalism is the last thing that will end [12:30:39] unfortunate but true [12:30:40] It's one of the first actually. [12:30:46] oh? [12:30:56] In your dreams perhaps [12:31:03] thinking about that Earthbound dialogue now lol [12:31:12] which one lol [12:31:18] As a species like us will progress, we will come to a point where monetary transactions will become obsolete, capitalism holds back our progression as a species. [12:31:51] where you need to get the lady out club to make magic cake, i need to look up lol [12:31:54] True, but not in the way you think [12:31:57] You’ve got to be kidding me [12:32:05] I go to YouTube shorts to escape this shit [12:32:08] And what pops up [12:32:10] lemme see if i have a save state lol [12:32:13] If we require everything we need to do in our daily lives to revolve around monetary actions and relations, then nothing will progress fast enough for anything meaningful to happen quickly in anyones lifetimes. [12:32:14] copyright? [12:32:20] https://youtube.com/shorts/3njPytV0Yio? [12:32:42] LOL [12:32:59] Yay. Another win for Copyright buisness [12:33:43] /jk [12:33:51] this shit is why i hate patents [12:33:57] did they fucking learned from Nintendo [12:34:05] [1/2] Bartering and trading has lived longer than Capitalism has had time to teethe, and it will definitely outlive it, there comes a point when we will have everything we need, a point where resources will be so readily available and accessible, eventually you won't be getting paychecks of $100k per annum, it'll be $10k per annum, more supply, less demand, costs go down. Eventually capital [12:34:06] [2/2] ism will have no meaning. [12:34:40] Just wait. Anyone who says that, and later develops something will patent it and happily enjoy the benefits [12:34:55] I like how sci-fi shows take on that approach, none of them feature Capitalism, some work off a heirachal system, the more you work the more you can have luxury and personal wise. [12:35:27] LOL, Instead they work with credits, which is exactly the same [12:35:39] That would still be capitalism. [12:35:49] Which I just said they didn't feature. [12:35:53] That's what I say, Your example is flawed [12:36:08] Show me wthe series [12:36:11] What would you do with a million dollars. [12:36:20] And then what would you do with a billion dollars. [12:36:38] Ikr [12:36:41] Me personally would take it to where it is needed [12:36:59] Copyright doesn't apply to flags lol [12:37:09] Not how this works [12:37:13] It doesn't for official flags [12:37:20] Now, what would you do with that money, if it had no meaningful change or effect, no purpose. Which it will come to at one point. [12:37:33] It needs to be abolished [12:37:47] It doesn't and it won't [12:37:51] Yep [12:38:00] [1/2] yay i'm getting drugged [12:38:00] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1355883761991946452/earthbound-usa-250330-233632.png?ex=67ea8ca7&is=67e93b27&hm=733fcfe3263a7ece097b8a679286dd59d96f720aa06bbb0afa543bd5abeb24b0& [12:38:03] It needs to be abolished, but it makes money so it won't lol [12:38:13] exactly [12:38:14] depends on threshold of originality right? [12:38:28] No, completely wrong IP law [12:38:31] ah okay [12:38:35] No flags have their own rules [12:38:47] it was some of NPCs in that club [12:38:58] Same as monetary units [12:39:26] They would see more pennies without copyright lmao [12:39:44] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1355884197201313953/earthbound-usa-250330-233930.png?ex=67ea8d0f&is=67e93b8f&hm=ef39a28750c89a738a3b01d973ae9d7c801f6486df95dbeeb980b03b931a2931& [12:39:44] [1/2] There will come a time where supply meets and will exceed demand, there will be no need to barter and use currency when you receive what you need to survive through work, providing for your civilisation, progressing your species towards its next step of evolution. Anyone who imagines the future of humanity, never imagines what currency will we use, will it be cryptocurrency etc. (unle [12:39:44] [2/2] ss it's a post-apocalyptic theme or dictatorship universe/galaxy thing.) [12:39:52] Oooooof [12:39:58] yeah this one lol [12:40:33] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright_on_emblems [12:40:36]
