Here it is!
Rainbow Flag
@mad-jack-ketch God used the rainbow as a promise to never flood the Earth again.
That’s the original & intended meaning.

Y'mean the one man constructed around it before they understood the science behind it?
I find it hilarious that during yesterday's fiasco when people were screaming at each other (that part is not funny, it is sad) some people were claiming that the flag has no meaning and Rare just added a rainbow flag.
Then in the dev video they said "we added a pride flag." IDK why but that tickled me :)

Untrue.
Every color stands for an option to get rid of people, you do not like.@admiral-greyjoy said in Rainbow Flag:
It’s going to fill me with pride sending these crews to Davy Jones.

It's not baiting, it's a legitimate question.
Someones says they will take pride in sinking ships flying these colours, and I want to know why? If you can't answer for some reason...

It was a bit of a facepalm moment there. All that talk about letting the gamers interpret the meaning of the flags as they see fit and the dev labels it the pride flag.
@kungfustu72 Yeah lol. In my head I was like, welp... here we go again. Gonna be 100 posts on this flag thing lol.
@kungfustu72 label they did. True colors were shown. IT BE ALL OUT WAR ON THE SEAS AND ME & @Admiral-GreyJoy have taken sides! Pistols drawn and cannons loaded YERHAR!!!!!!
@dutchdeadschot
Hopefully one day you'll learn this isn't about sides and you can fly the flag yourself.@PaddyMcK
I didn't realise that - like the rainbow flag - the Dukes of Hazard flag was around 200 years ago and directly relevant to pirating. Also that southern pride was something that unified anyone and celebrated worldwide.
What a learning experience you've provided.Love the flag.
It's amazing how far we've come that there is such a minority that has a problem with the flag. It shows it really is a problem for the very small minority who haven't quite lived enough to grow out of their equally tiny mindset.@xcalypt0x said in Rainbow Flag:

That was just plain dishonesty by those people for the sake of winning the debate.
@vexed-anemone see my original post up above. What the rainbow means. God’s love and promise not to flood the earth. That’s the meaning behind the rainbow.

I’ve not been able to watch the video due to work flow but I was wondering if that would pop up.
So now all the people can stop saying “it’s just a flag” as this confirms it’s inclu to represent a specific group.
The quest now reads its head again on if they plan on releasing future flags to include other Creeds ( they say ALL have a place on the seas) or will actually exclude them from the game.
I expect a lot of derogatory and inflammatory comments because of this and doubt they are moderated out as well, but this whole point remains.
Going forward will Rare include others into the game or exclude them altogether.

No no. Nothing was ever about facts nor science.
Certain people know, why they raise a rainbow flag above their head.
They want to remind god about his promise.
Raising the rainbow flags basically means: "I am a sinner, please don't purge me away. You promised!"@dutchdeadschot
Well no, it's really not.
I was born a catholic but I was raised a scientist. So it's just a story to me.
Unlike the more modern, historically accurate (to me) designs of the rainbow flag...and our understanding of the rainbow itself.Also, 31% of the world is Christian, and while I could be wrong (as I haven't read all religious texts), that means that 69% of the world doesn't think about God and his/her/its flood in the same way. What was I saying about minorities and all that jazz?

While only 31% of the world might identify as Christian, stories of a global flood are present across many cultures. I'm not sure how many of those stories include a rainbow, but I just wanted to point that out.

Christian.
You forgot the other religions like Muslim, J**s, Buddhist, Mormons and such.
Like is saw this figure encompassing ALL religions it was that anywhere for 70-80% of the world believes in a higher deity.
Very true. Hopefully @DutchDeadSchot knows the answer ;)
@BraxKedren
I didn't realise all those religions had rainbows signifying floods in them? Do they? Or did you incorrectly read my post/exchange?@longingfern4785 said in Rainbow Flag:

You promised!"Well considering its new meaning in modern day society lets hope the religions of the world dont get people mixed up and punish them accordingly... Or is being different not a sin and ticket to hell anymore.. i just cant keep up xD
@vexed-anemone the issue is that it represents sexuality. Something that was not needed in this type of game. As you obviously can see, it is divisive and will probably cause more harm than good. Will people get offended if they feel they are getting attacked strictly for flying the flag? Will people be offended if people flying the flag come sailing up shouting things in a Mr. Slave voice? So many ways this could go the wrong way. Are there hateful people out there? Unfortunately yes. But not all people that disagree with this are them. Some are just tired of things being constantly thrown in their faces for the purpose of another companies virtue signaling. If you caught any of E3, it was in perfect display. Why am I such a villain for not wanting sexuality thrown in to something where it was not needed

@dutchdeadschot The rainbow is the bridge to Asgard, nothing more, nothing less.
