When the choice to remove a flag choice was removed, I initially thought it was retarded. Over time, I ended up feeling like defaulting to flags by geolocation added a nice element to Sup Forums. There became an ability to observe how people from around the world responded to political events and it added elements of both education and banter. THIS IS IMPORTANT. What is more political on an international board than being able to see clear differences between geographical regions when talking about geopolitical events??
What does choosing a flag do? It encourages LARPing and apolitical threads especially if there's a fucking Kekistan flag. That alone is the biggest possible encouraging to shitposting possible. All these elements add up to Sup Forums being shittier with flags being able to be selected. It was an improvement when it was removed and it is a mistake to bring this feature back.
Kekistani is a good thing, then you know who to avoid.
Anthony James
An user noted earlier today that a good idea would be to have two flags. One geolocation flag, and one that you could choose. This is a great idea and would add a nice new refreshing dynamic to Sup Forums. That is what should be done if flag choosing is to be re-introduced at all.
Henry Ross
choice to choose a flag was removed*
Jordan Nelson
>encouraging the ability for redditors to have a constant presence here
Jason Peterson
Agreed, bump
Hunter Miller
wtf
Carter Morris
Its better this way. Sup Forums was stale. It feels more like old/pol/ is back than cringe nu/pol/. If anything this adds a much needed change to Sup Forums
Andrew Perry
>JIDF will now disagree with good ideas posing as white supremacists
Thanks for giving shills free reign, mods
Jeremiah Cox
forcing geo flags will only cause you to shitpost about Sup Forums shit fuck off to /bant/ if you miss country flags so much
Isaiah Hernandez
>5 Trump shill threads on front page >choosing flags will make Sup Forums bad!!!
Oliver Brooks
STOP CRYING ABOUT IT
YOUSE A BITCHH AZZ NIGGA
Benjamin Harris
i'm not even a muslim but i wanna see what it looks like
Angel Baker
jihadi lmao
Jaxon Rogers
>It feels more like old/pol/ is back than cringe nu/pol/
You should do yourself a favor and go look at the traffic coming to Sup Forums since the 2016 election and realize that Sup Forums will never be old/pol/ ever again.
Isaiah Morales
i'll bump this thread
i hate fake people that LARP for a dopamine fix
Kayden Wilson
>tfw I post under Fake Flag because my country is a piece of shit noone respects
Austin White
>It encourages LARPing Exactly. I don't give a shit what kind of front they put up, what's important is who they are and what they say.
Austin Torres
Hi there. Redditor here. I heard that POL is THE hottest online meeting place for homosexuals!! I am SO excited to posting on here with my fellow closeted homosexuals!! It's just so fantastic that we can be ourselves and be honest about our sexualities here. Love you guys!! -Aaron
Brandon Turner
Sounds gay as hell. The ethos of Sup Forums is anonymity. If you want to broadcast your locale then fuckoff to a normie politics forum.
Thomas Campbell
Yea and then a leaf or aussie posts and everyone goes all chimp on them and flings poop at them. Flags just caused unneeded shit posting to be honest.
Nolan Nguyen
When geopositional flags were forced, it added a really great element of the personality types of different countries. These lead to great memes and great times. We came to know the dualistic nature of shitposting with Aussies on one side and Fucking Leafs on the other.
Real flags are what we need. This is a mistake. If this is to be permanent, it could be worse than any Sup Forumsharbor
ADMINISTRATION, STOP THIS NOW
Caleb Price
/new/ was deleted in the past and Moot even threatened to delete Sup Forums because of the constant teenage LARP-shitposting. Adding country flags was a stroke of genius.
Logan Miller
All flagposters are crypto-leafs.
Andrew Lopez
this is sadly the truth
Blake White
Yeah this is retarded Lost all respect for pol
Julian Jackson
AGREED.
Jack Parker
The fix to this issue is simply putting the custom flag right next the geographic location flag for display on all posts
Josiah Brooks
I think you're right but maybe that's what they wanted.
Jose Gomez
I concur this is a brilliant thing. Absolutely progressive. Hiro keep this. You have done great service. Thank you.
Jeremiah Carter
as if you dumb untermensch fucks on this board weren't already larping?
John Sanchez
All of this. All this shit does is obscure reality to us.
Brayden Brooks
Well said OP. My thoughts exactly, these new flags do nothing but encourage more shitposting. Do this dumbshit over at /bant/ not here.
Christopher Cooper
Yeah Im really not thrilled with this.
A huge part of Sup Forums is understanding the logic and commentary coming from all the different countries.
This is also a shills wet dream.
Brayden Cruz
Random flags were added to give shills and trolls cover to disrupt Sup Forums completely.
Landon Bennett
Definitely for this.
Nathaniel Richardson
ITT: OP is a butthurt faggot
You can still tell a leaf regardless of the flag, you can still tell an aussie regardless of the flag, you can still tell a swed regardless of the flag. If you have been here longer since March of 2017 maybe you would have shitposting identification abilities like the rest of us you rebbit pleb.
Logan Morales
>leaf or aussie posts Shitposts deserve to be shit on. If you make an intelligent post people will reply to it accordingly. If you make a shitpost and you're canadian or strayan then it's to be expected. We need to know what countries are full of retarded faggots.
Asher Stewart
>durr it was aready happening so who cares if we make it worse
Liam Thompson
>TFW will never ever have to endure edgy remarks about fuck lololol ok as an auto response to my flag
T. Kraut
You only played yourself retards polspersg
William Wright
they are trying to take the magic away but they will never understand that the magic isn't theirs to take
Evan King
No you can't you stupid fucking nigger. Also, how is anyone who actually is new going to figure that shit out? Are you saying you want more ignorance?
Alexander Kelly
Stfu ahmed.
Josiah Gonzalez
It adds a flavor when BRs think they are Nazis now. You're going to see gypsies hiding behind flags talking down on people whiter than them.
Dylan Martin
Because it really matters right?
Thomas Campbell
>You can still tell a leaf regardless of the flag, you can still tell an aussie regardless of the flag
Thinking you can and having irrefutable proof are not equatable.
Julian White
ITT shariablue complains that kekistanis now have the right to exist
Luis Russell
Sup Forumstards have to read the post now, oh no!
Owen Wood
Yeah, it does. Countries are political. If you're not from a country then your opinion means less to those who actually live in that country in regards to that country's politics. Where you are from is political.
moot was a fag and a cuck, thats why hes no longer here.
Nolan Ward
Not always. I ignore nigger and fag flags unless I'm trashing them.
Jaxon Sanchez
Go back to your board faggot.
Matthew Butler
Except when you're posting from Canada or Australia right? Or don't follow conservative vslues...
Sebastian Garcia
God forbid someone pick it ironically
Andrew Clark
Are you implying where a person lives doesn't contribute to their perception politically?
Logan Perez
can you please suck my dick lueroi
Landon Sanchez
no the only advantage of the random flags is anonymity. preferable only no flags at all it doesn't have to.
Parker Butler
kill yourself fagtard
Lucas Nelson
In today's world and beyond. Not really. Especially when people are bantering on and on through the internet.
Luke Harris
All flags do is encourage Sup Forums shitposting like A FUCKING LEAF and POO
Asher Reyes
>pick it ironically You're part of the problem nigger. This is Sup Forumsitically INCORRECT. The name itself shows that this place is not for liberal faggots.
Cooper Morales
Sort your entire life out, cuck.
Ryder Thomas
Can you? I also dislike this, it is a shills wet dream.
Robert Reed
you sound like a liberal faggot
Blake Lewis
Suck my balls nigger.
Joshua Butler
Agreed. I'm leaving my flag as it is cuz STRAYA.
William Gomez
You sound like an actual faggot.
Xavier Allen
Present them.
Ryan Wood
Did Hiro really want to kill this website?
Jaxon Cruz
if anyone of interest wants to know your location it literally wouldn't be hard to get it faggot.
Connor Foster
STRAYA CUNT. I think most Aussies will do this.
Jeremiah Adams
Come to me. You're the bitch.
Elijah Watson
I love the new flags. Now no one knows I'm a Canadian.
Owen Hernandez
Stop insulting others, meany face
Isaac Baker
God forbid somebody doesn't take Sup Forums 110% seriously.
Nicholas Anderson
...
Dominic Parker
i'm just going to use whatever flag i like, but i'll select my normal flag when it's important
Cameron Watson
NO FUN ALLOWED FAGGOT
Luis White
i doubt this is going to be permanent
Jordan Cooper
Guess not. More a place for right wing meat heads to circle jerk over a photo of Hitler.
Henry Perez
But... Like... Proxies exist 'n shit...
Michael Myers
That's right. You can fuck off now.
Parker Davis
Your point being? You're the fag that wants his broadcast his locale like some attention whore on kikebook. Sort your whole situation out m8.
Camden Gomez
Sup Forums faggots are the most cancerous. Removing flags was vital, in a few days they will be forced to go to /bantz/ to post le bantz that are too edgy for Sup Forums. Then Sup Forums will be better.
Chase Ortiz
I, too, enjoyed Arthur.
Hunter Hughes
KILL WHITEY
Landon Long
fuck you nigger
Jonathan Thompson
Most people will never use one. It also makes shills have to put in more work to shitpost
Connor Jackson
>actually paying attention to the chosen flags nigga you dumb
Aiden Powell
Fuck you cissie
Asher Bennett
i prefer the new flags, you make an argument and people will just say well your from X so that means your cucked.
Benjamin Butler
pls giv citizenship racist
Jose Russell
I'm not going anywhere because my shitposts are always in relation to politics, including here with board politics.
Julian Fisher
You do realize there is an active protocol in place by Sup Forums administration to ban any access point they determine to be a proxy or VPN exit node right?
Lucas Clark
>kekistani flags encourages redditors they're already here ya fuckin moron
Brandon Ward
>wanting to read everything in this sea of shit\ It's not even piss.
Colton Morales
Calm your tits down, fuckboy.
William Stewart
My point being that you're not exactly making it extra hard for someone to find your shitty location by changing the tiny fucking icon next to your post, so it's a really stupid reason to justify custom flags. Also pick up a map sometime, the U.S.A. is pretty fucking big so having this as a flag doesn't really say much.
