Freak flags?
freak flag (plural freak flags) (idiomatic) Unconventional or unrestrained behavior; extreme, nonconformist views; the side of one's personality which harbors a tendency toward such behavior or such views.
Are pride flags freak flags to you? I don't see what's so unconventional about being LGBTQ+ in this day and age.
Say you didn't understand the common definition without needing to say it.
No, you're implying pride flags are freak flags. Read the context of the conversation and read the room. That's the implication you're making.
The term freak flag came from the 1960s. If you had long hair, you were considered a hippie. The hair was called your freak flag. It wasn't a real flag to begin with. This was immortalized by the late great David Crosby in his song "I Almost Cut My Hair". It isn't my fault you don't understand the nuances of the English language and would rather read in intentions that are not there.
It's not my fault you don't empathize with other people and don't know how to read a room.
When you're trying to convince someone of something, you have to work around their perceptions, not the truth. So don't get angry when people see you use a term like freak flags that sounds sus as hell, knowing most of us weren't even born in the 1960s, and think you're trying to imply a negative. That term in no way sounds any good in 2023, and all that matters is how it sounds.
When you're trying to convince someone of something, you have to work around their perceptions, not the truth.
"Truth doesn't matter, only my perception!"
Say you're American and politically active without using those words.
Whiny cunt. "I don't understand this term so it must be offensive." Read a book for Christ's sake.
You really don't know anything about me and you spread your assumptions to justify anything you come up with.
I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything, yet I must try to observe their suspicions based on their lack of knowledge, right? You don't like the sounds in your head while reading what I write? I encourage you not to read it.
I'm flying the US flag to show how much of a freak I am
