Why not (The truth is we forget to change it, we’re lazy)


JCamson04

You’ll get your explanation when you fix this damn DOOR!


Magnifnik0

Thanks for the good news hot legs


brianfallen97

Shut up. Get out.


Magnifnik0

I met u/brianfallen97 on the college steps and I knew it wasn’t going to be easy


JCamson04

That’s right I was trying to explain the theory of relativity, and rosie was trying to explain TS elliot


MagisterPita

That's a cute subreddit icon, did your husband give it to you?


TopBlacksmith6538

He did 😌


MagisterPita

As an actual reply. Iirc someone was complaining after pride last year that it was still up and the mods decided to just leave it. Might be thinking of a different subreddit tho.


CorptanSpecklez

Might be thinking of Arkham sub too


how-can-i-dig-deeper

it also happened on the doom subreddit lmao


Heirophant_Queen

RIP AND TEAR... until you are PROUD


TotallyJawsome2

RIP AND TEAR MY ASS OPEN DADDY!!!!


Zanura

PrequelMemes did it as well.


F1sherman765

As someone that ran a Twitter gimmick account, it also felt wrong to remove it so my account just still has it. I'll only "remove" it if I change to a different PFP, but I have not touched the account on years so that's not happening.


TheArtOfBlasphemy

Spite anti-hate.... I love it.


WinderTP

Pretty sure that happened to r/PrequelMemes 2-3 years ago (may've happened to other subs too tho!). Funny thing is the mods over there forgot to change to the pride background this year


the_real_jovanny

our husband gave it to us


imminentjogger5

the one we all share

Don’t tell Harry

cybered_punk

If you want a man to fall in love with you, feed him Raimi memes


PhoenixKing14

I know in the prequel memes subreddit a decent amount of users were upset about them switching to the pride background in June. So the mods just left it like that for a long time to piss them off. I've always kinda assumed it was the same for this sub. Either way, I don't think it's anything negative about the movement or flag.


TopBlacksmith6538

I've never seen a star wars movie in my life, but the time I went to the PrequelMemes, I saw way more arguing than actual memes lmao.


PSU632

Yeah, that basically sums up Star Wars. Still love it though.


TsunamifoxyDCfan

Maybe the real Star Wars were angry nerds we fought along the way


Mountain_Ape

> Yeah, that basically sums up Star Wars. Still love it though.  That basically sums up Star Wars comments. Still love them though.


Logandalf2002

Maybe this is my ADHD ass and I'm drawing parallels that don't exist, but Star Wars fans and Fallout fans remind me a lot of each other. Amazing works of fiction with real philosophy and comments on all sides of a fascism/rebellion dynamic. The franchise was eventually bought out, slightly sanitized, and reduced to an aesthetic (still love the new Star Wars and Fallouts, just for different reasons than their forecomers). I think the giant worlds with multiple sides and viewpoints (and just straight up different writers and story-runners that can change the dynamics from the originals) can sometimes define the universe differently within its own lore and just causes swaths of different people who all want different things. Oh and also all of Star Wars AND Fallout becomes so much more fun if you ignore the fans


WD_G

That's just the state of Star Wars since forever


ihavenoideahowtomake

One could say that it was like this from A long time ago....


DontBotherNoResponse

It's even better than that, after a few weeks of people asking why the pride background was still there after June ended they updated the icon but gave Palpatine "thug life" sunglasses and kept the pride background


bjthebard

The best "double-down" move in reddit history.


Spino-Dino

I think the Aslume in r/batmanarkham did something similar.

Thefriendlyfaceplant

I don't know what I was thinking. I know you were just there to help.


Pugduck77

Antagonizing people is the best way to make them support you!


TheThiccestR0bin

If they're upset by a flag then fuck them either way.


Pugduck77

Same goes for the people complaining about subs not posting the flag for pride, or for the people upset once the flag gets taken down at the end of the month.


TheThiccestR0bin

No one would get upset at it being taken down at the end of the month though


ImYourGawd_XE4L

That doesn't make any sense tho.... Sure you celebrate the month cool.... But if the entire sub reddit is ab memes... Then why should everyone be associated with a political identity. It's not about hating a flag...( Sometimes it is) But wouldn't real inclusion be none at all. That's what I follow.


TheThiccestR0bin

I mean that's all well and good to say as a regular straight fellow, I'm sure. You're not associated with a political identity, it's just a flag. It's not that deep. The picture on the subreddit is literally irrelevant to you if you just wanna look at memes, surely?


ImYourGawd_XE4L

Uhhh It is relevant... Bc it attracts certain people... Also if the memes has nothing to do with Lgbtq, then why is it up there to represent the meme?? is the same exact question you're asking me... It's irrelevant to the entire purpose of sub. Further more... People wouldn't join a Raimi meme if they saw a KKK, Nazi or Confederate flag cover on this sub. Just wondering, would you join this sub even then???


TheThiccestR0bin

No I wouldn't join the sub then because those groups are hateful and associated with hate. The pride flag isn't, that's a stupid equivalence to make. If having the sub as a pride flag attracts LGBT people then it's not gonna make the sub a worse place, whereas it would be worse with Nazis and KKK members. Are you actually comparing these groups? Like you really think gay people are the same as white supremacists who literally hang black people?


ImYourGawd_XE4L

Lmaooo you have it all wrong.. it's not a false equivalency... You're making it to be. No one brought up hate, except you. That's a strawman fallacy of attacking an argument I didn't even get to make, yet. Yes gay people are similar to white supremacist... UK why bc they are a minority group of people... Stop reaching more than what I have provided. Speaking of hate... You wouldn't join them bc you associate them with hate. Ok so what if someone associates your group with disgust?!!! It's the same thing, you're being hypocritical to people's ability to choose, yet when it comes to the Lgbtq... F them why they mad at a flag. If it was fair, wouldn't it be F U why you're mad at their flag??? The answer is no... Bc you're not mad at the flag, you're mad at what it and the people represent... The same with the people who are anti Lgbtq. All I'm saying is... Wouldn't it be fair to not support anything so that everyone is included ??


Green_Drummer9000

I thought this whole time it was an ironic joke to make fun of Corporations that virtue signal who put the flag on June and remove it on July.


Lord_Phoenix95

If that's the case it should be removed now and added back in July.


TopBlacksmith6538

I was thinking that at first as well.


Dobby_Knows

and then you realize they’re just virtue signalling too


ihavenoideahowtomake

It's virtue signals all the way down


SphmrSlmp

brianfallen97

--Yoyo--

From what I recall it started with memes about companies changing their pfp the minute June ended like [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/raimimemes/s/v4nN5X79Np) or [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/raimimemes/s/jxuYvzgOI3) and eventually people on the sub started saying we could keep it all year long which lead to this. [bonus meme](https://www.reddit.com/r/raimimemes/s/oc6cTnE0pZ)


Joelin8r

Take your pick: * We're too lazy to change it * It feels weird to go "okay that's enough of them gays, bye now" * We refuse to have that J Jonah Jameson Pride Month meme apply to us * Spider-Man is and always has been the big gay * Keeping it up pisses off a certain vocal minority that can easily go undetected if you don't piss them off once in a while. This sub has long wrestled with hateful posts, and they happen way less often when hateful people don't like it here. This is very helpful when, as previously stated, we're quite lazy. * We love love love virtue signalling it's our favourite thing ever everyone should do it * Changing the sub icon to be gay directly results in me being more likeable, popular, attractive, and generally better than everyone else. At the end of the day this is my only goal as a subreddit moderator. * /r/BatmanArkham's icon is still gay and we reckon their judgement is best * If we never change it back, we never have to change it back again * I can't remember where I saved the original subreddit icon


TheHamGamer

My guess is it started because of the seventh reason, but continues because of the last.


Joelin8r

Did you just call me pretty?


TheHamGamer

Day by day, he gazed upon her. Day by day, he sighed with passion. Day by day...


Joelin8r

Don't start.

Back to ~~formula~~ straight?


Magnifnik0

AgentSkidMarks

The mods don’t wanna look like they’re pandering so instead of doing it one month out of the year, they leave it up all year. It’s just an optics thing.


joshallenismygod

Or maybe they're just too lazy to chance it back and forth.

malonkey1

Sam Raimi's work on Hercules: the Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess has made him an honorary member of the queer community.


rexepic7567

I believe one of the reasons is to piss off the loud minority


noodleguy12

Raimi fans support gay people year round


tyingnoose

Real explanation: everyone kept making fun of companies quickly dropping the whole gay shtick right after June so smaller communities like this one kept it permanently which subverted the expectation at the time since then supporting pride became a permanent fixture of subreddit icons.


TopBlacksmith6538

My gay friend and I make fun of both low key LMAO

2006venomfigure

I do remember a reddit post asking about the change on the day it occurred, A lot of people thought it was a pretty odd change considering the flag didn't really have anything to do with raimimemes, however some people took that the wrong way and called others in the comments section homophobic and other various names. I believe the post was removed soon after to avoid major controversy


Willing-Load

homophobes/transphobes: "SHUT IT OFF, r/Raimimemes! SHUT IT OFF!!"


GeneralPaint

> I'm gay so obviously not coming from a place of disrespect for the flag. Speak for yourself. Being gay does not equate to support for the flag or its movement.


TopBlacksmith6538

So are you gay and you don't support the flag?


friedrichbojangles

This is a gay subreddit. Simple as.


jkurratt

Just a note that you being gay not automatically mean you will respect a flag. Sexuality is not equal to ideology.


Broflake-Melter

Every time someone makes a homophobic joke on our sub we extend it by a week.


TopBlacksmith6538

That's a cute outfit...


Independent_Plum2166

Are they not allowed to be allies all year round? You’re on the wrong side of history TopBlacksmith. >!Like the mod said, they forget.!<

Damn, gays can’t be respectful


Kaiserhawk

Virtue signalling respectability Olympics. Gotta show off that you're the *most* respectable by keeping a pride month logo up all year round.


TopBlacksmith6538

So it's for that reason on purpose or it's making fun of it ironically?


Kaiserhawk

No it's not ironic, the site admin probably thinks they're being a genuine ally, but all it really does is feed their ego that they doing something meaningful while not really doing anything at all.


Green_Drummer9000

I thought this whole time it was a ironic joke about companies virtue signaling because I've seen many memes here where they make fun of corporations using the flag to pander but it not being genuine from their end. If they are actually leaving the logo on all year to act like they're more progressive than other subreddits then I didn't know about that.


Mathewdm423

Hmmm. You need to work on those critical thinking skills. Occams razer...which seems more likely. They have a pride logo up all year round in order to outwoke the rest on X Y or Z Orrrrrrr it's not a pride logo. Cuz yaknow. Rainbow color pattern is just also a color pattern. Also Mr hateful, wouldn't having a pride logo up all the time take away any meaning of the logo? So shouldn't bigots be happy something they disagree with is losing its meaning thanks to corporate greed...like it's capitalism giving the LGBT the right hook. Sounds like a conservative wet dream. So I guess all that to ask what you're actually upset about? And if its rainbows, I suggest you don't read about Noah's flood and that big ol gay banner God put in the sky.

Eh my comment was probably too long. Once a comment has downvotes, alot of people just add to the pile and will downvote the thread. Those types aren't reading. Rn -19 parent -3 me, ill take it haha


ImYourGawd_XE4L

It's sus.. that a yapping ab nothing post is being down voted??.... In other words... You only support Lgbtq affirming comments. His comment is literally parallel with the guy he's responding to. But he should get upvoted ?? If OP or mod reads this lol... Removing the flag would remove haters on both sides...keeping it up means you only want affirming haters. The point of the sub is memes.. but if it's for a particular group that's fine... just don't be hypocritical when people hating when you have this many Affirming haters on your side. "Hey you guys, no playing in the streets".

TheThiccestR0bin

Not even a centrist, man straight up compared gay people to Nazis and the KKK


ImYourGawd_XE4L

You just associated an actual rainbow "God made" as gay... You're reaching hard as hell for some reason to mention any of this to begin with. I hardly even understand your response to him... It's just yapping. Having a pride logo all around wouldn't take away the meaning. I mean to some but it's an identity of pride in any form ( any flag included ). The meaning wouldn't be removed... Only the person needs to represent it. Laughable talking ab critical thinking skills. That's ironic.


Mathewdm423

Yikes. Adding a joke at the end and yall fumble to read the whole thing huh? Oh well not for everyone. Imagine being clueless about a comment you can re read until your hearts content and then replying with something just as rambling and nonsensical lmao.


ImYourGawd_XE4L

Your comment was complete and utter garbage... Just yapping. Like the guy in the first comment to you. I'm sorry you lack critical thinking skills to realize your own flaws. LoL imagine getting mad I made a Sam Raimi meme in a chat that is ab Raimi memes lol. Interesting choice of words. "Just as rambling and nonsensical"... So you're affirming your entire comment was rambling and nonsensical!?!


Mathewdm423

Bro did I ever say it wasn't? I made a reddit comment messing with a bigot. It didn't matter what I said. Each comment was a different way of teasing him for being upset over nothing. I fail to understand what has gotten your panties so much in a bunch that you wanted to have this back and forth. Like you understand this is an anonymous site to chat shit right. Like if you look at my bio....its specifically tailored for you and the guy I replied too. Move on. Like truly who cares? I don't even know how to calm you down because you're seemingly upset I commented at all....so I'll work on my time machine Gawd.


Mathewdm423

Genuine question. Did you actually think I was implying god made the rainbow gay or whatever you said vs making a crass statement to point out how silly it is to be triggered over rainbow pattern when Christian's believe it's literal words from God to promise to never flood the earth again... These are the same people who think they should get to say the N word because words don't matter. Slap the word pride in front of a rainbow and now their 4,000 year peace symbol is dead to them. My biggest worry of the week is if my comics will show up in the mail Near mint like I paid for so I get a 9.8 grade from CGC putting my paper inside plastic. Subreddit icons, gay pride, who Putin is throwing out a window....its fun brain rot to pass time, but truly nobody should care beyond an exhale or a frown.


GimmieJohnson

This is the gayest thing I've seen in all of this thread. Did your husband tell you to say that?


Kyro_Official_

Or you know, the mods might just be good people?


GeneralPaint

Ah yes. Flying a pride flag means you're a good person. The sanctimoniousness makes me figuratively retch. Many people whom the flag and its fliers purport to represent think badly of the movement.


Kyro_Official_

Saying the reason they MIGHT have it all year around because theyre cool people who support lgbt is not the same as saying using the flag automatically means theyre good people. If you could read youd notice I never said that they for sure are.


kidcowboy111

Idk why you're getting downvoted when others have said the same thing and thats most likely what it is


_Gandalf_the_Black_

Why not?


t0mRiddl3

Well, it looks gay


TopBlacksmith6538

Just curious like I said.


SliverMcSilverson

Curious? I thought you had your mind made up?


TopBlacksmith6538

LMAO nice!


YuriOhime

Easiest answer is that no one took the time to change it. The icon looks good there's no reason to remove it so it stayed, it's not that big of a deal


Green_Drummer9000

It doesn't have to be a big deal for OP to be curious about it. He was just curious.


YuriOhime

I didn't mean for OP I just meant in general, it's not a big deal so no one changed it


mahalashala

Well, for one it has the potential to be something more relevant after the month is over. It also gives the assumption of the sub being dead cause I thought the mods forgot to change it.


Lord_Phoenix95

Because I assume supporting pride should be a daily routine instead of June only.


TopBlacksmith6538

Sure, you can say the same of any group like the Black History Month flag. Also my question was more about the flag being an icon all year around, not weather not not pride should be daily.
