The American flag or the 5000 dollar fursona costume of a gender bent version of Skar from the Lion King?

u/DK-ButterflyOwner May 20 '25
how does that happen?

u/GhostASD Floofy Demiboy on Stand-Bi May 20 '25
I was more than willing to just throw out the damn thing. My father-âcause of course it was-intervened.

u/DK-ButterflyOwner May 21 '25
Your father forces you to hang an American flag in your room? That's some crazy shit

u/courierblue We_irlgbt May 20 '25
Sometimes youâre given a folded American flag instead of a loved one

u/DistractedHouseWitch May 22 '25
I was forced to keep one in my room as a kid/teenager.
When I moved out, my mom cried when I told her that I wouldn't have an American flag and a crucifix in my room just to keep her happy.

u/xXTheGrapenatorXx Gay/MLM May 20 '25
If you're gonna keep flags in your room it should be for vexillology nerd reasons (or like, gay ones, but you get me) rather than like, excessive nationalism. I never had my country flag in my room but i did have a display of the provincial/sub-national flags in there for a while.
Yes, I am fun at parties, thank you for noticing.

u/villainousascent Trans/Pan May 20 '25
Vexillology nerd or gay reasons? What's the difference?

u/xXTheGrapenatorXx Gay/MLM May 20 '25
I'm sure there are allocishet flag nerds out there... somewhere.... hypothetically. /s

u/pannenkoek0923 Aro/Ace/NonBinary May 20 '25
Not every gay is autistic tbf

u/xXTheGrapenatorXx Gay/MLM May 20 '25
Wait... who said anything about autism or nerodivergency? You made that connection not me, neurotypical nerds be gay AF too.

u/pannenkoek0923 Aro/Ace/NonBinary May 20 '25
Sorry I was making the joke of autistic people liking flags (speaking as a neurodivergent person)

Ah, well in fairness I sailed right past "probably just being funny" so I'm gonna call that square.

Drew Durnil is one. i aspire to collect as many flags as that man. and he is almost certainly not queer. then again he doesn't say anything about his personal life but I mean, my gaydar has never went off when watching him

I put one of the "No step on snek" flags over my ball python's enclosure.

I have the five stripe Chinese flag, the Kuomintang flag, the PRC Flag and the Qing Dynasty flag because I find all the vexillology interesting, one could not come up with what I believe just by looking at it ahahaha
8
u/xXTheGrapenatorXx Gay/MLM May 20 '25
Well no, there is no ideological pattern there, but I'd probably guess some affinity for Chinese/East Asian history... presuming those are the only flags in there i mean.

u/Thatoneguythatsweird Bisexual Polyamorous Mess May 20 '25
I also have a Pahlavi era Iran flag, a nonbinary flag, an International Brigade Spanish Civil War flag, and one for California (though that one is because it's where I live)

u/BlommeHolm Queer Enby May 20 '25
But they usually have guns and anger management issues.

u/Ms_Masquerade Dual Queer Drifting May 20 '25
While true, it's only the latter that ever becomes relevant I find.
34
u/BlommeHolm Queer Enby May 20 '25
And I live in another country, so they'll never really have a chance to do anything other than posting angry gun selfies.

u/MrSpiffy123 Cisyphus May 20 '25
And the furries already put a pipe bomb in your mailbox, what's your point?
23
u/BlommeHolm Queer Enby May 20 '25
I checked. They didn't.

u/ThisEnormousWoman Trans/Pan May 20 '25
Oh shoot. Whose box was that?

u/quiyo May 20 '25
mine, and is a very funny paint bomb, not a pipe bomb

u/OgreSpider Asexual May 20 '25
Is there glitter

u/Aron-Jonasson Gaylord without land May 22 '25
I'd argue that I'd prefer receiving a pipe bomb than a glitter bomb
At least with a pipe bomb I die instantly, whereas glitter is gonna haunt me for possibly my entire life

u/powerof27 We_irlgbt May 20 '25
At first I thought 'dang your room really does look close to Chloe's room'

u/nitroraptor2 May 20 '25
Lol i wish it was that close

u/powerof27 We_irlgbt May 20 '25
Don't mind me im adding a slant to the side of the room so I can't stand up straight when im near the window.
It NEEDS to be accurate!

u/MyBeanYT GAY FURRY DEGENERATE May 20 '25
Using the flag as a window cover looks really cool, the roomâs glow from the sun sorta has that slight red tinge

I have an American flag in my room but it's not patriotic, it's just gay bc there is a beautiful shirtless man on it.

u/Rikkeloni Transgender May 20 '25
My american flag is missing the stars. And the rectangle. And its colour is lighter. And the stripes are a bit different.

u/TuxedoDogs9 Jul 18 '25
Iâve also got the American flag, a bit different though. The stripes are untouched, the rectangle is larger, it now takes up about 100% of the flag, and the stars were moved around a bit, in a circle with the word âFORDâ in the middle

u/No_Zookeepergame2247 May 20 '25
Honestly I respect the furries they make enough money to support their hobby which I haven't told is quite expensive leaving out the price of travel. Although the image I conjure of somebody that has a flag displayed in that every room of their house probably lives in a one-room house or very similar

Not all Furries have $. It doesn't cost money foro me to just wear a tail everyday.

I used to have one growing up but it was folded and a gift from my grandfather's death years after his service. Lost it sometime in a move at least 15 years ago, I wish I still had it

Probably one of the more underwhelming games where you just kill English people all day long.

u/uranusdesu May 20 '25
I'm Russian, but I have an American flag for aesthetics - it's just something big to liven up my otherwise painfully beige and brown room color scheme... plus, yeah, LiS reference and overall it's aesthetic and alternative! w^

u/neongreenpurple nonbinary lesbian human May 21 '25
I have one in my living room. It's the flag they gave us when my dad died. He was in the Navy, but he got out long before he died. I guess even vets get a flag.

The current political climate shows us that it is very clearly not free to not bully nationalists.

u/Not_Really_French Trans/Ace May 20 '25
Well the problem is that the âAmerican flag enjoyerâ background buffs strength and debuffs empathy making it much more suitable to use for a character of the âbullyâ class then a character with the âfurryâ background since they among other things have a boost in empathy and a debuff in strengthÂ

Obviously just my experience, but a lot of the people I know that became furries are also quite MAGA and MURICA nowadays.
