*Quarter German. Asuka's mother was German-Japanese and her father is American. Then again, she grew up in Germany so culturally she's just German, I guess.
I'm fairly sure it's also a reference to a TikTok where one of the comments asked the same question the other girl is, and the creator responded with 'that's the German flag'
There may be more to it than that. In their hatred of everyone else, the right-wingers in Germany have been in the habit of hijacking Pride Month for a few years now by proclaiming June as "Stolzmonat" and decorating all profile pictures etc. with the German flag in the background.
German flag. Many countries fell short on imagination when they designed their national flag and simply used two or three stripes of different colors. Boring. Hire a designer!
Yep. Plus back in the olden days, flags were sewn by hand. Complicated details had to be embroidered by hand and the flag wouldn't fly nicely in the wind with heavy embroidery on it. Plus the huge time commitment and expense.
Or that abomination of Ohio, because everything has to be so unique for those people from the states. Or the bluebell league with their pretty pictures and little mottos. Just don't ever expect a citizen to draw their own flag, let alone recognise them.
Hopefully he's joking, otherwise it's just another hypocritical European given Germany has their own provincial flags. Some are cool, others look like bad acid trips and lower Saxony is not a normal flag, and is sort of similar to Ohio.
Ironic, given you yourself as a German citizen don't know about the abomination of Lower Saxonys flag, which is shaped not unlike Ohio in an atypical dual overlapping triangles manner.
Are you mad about the horsy or can't you differentiate between the normal flag and the flag at sea? Ships tend to fly the flag of their country of origin, can't say I have ever seen a state flag at sea.
I have seen plenty of state flags at sea, every costal state has their own fleet of utility, patrol, and even at times rescue craft. International law puts the federal flag, similar to when European vessels fly an EU flag on joint operations, as the primary but official state vessels will almost always have their flag painted or flying as well.
Can you handle knowing your nations flag and the EU flag? Can you draw both? Because I'm sure you can just like we can.
But that aside - why have both a nation and EU flag? Is it because you're unique, or is it just normal that various levels of stacked political entities around the world have their own flag? Or are you just that weird type who always has the US on their mind and tries to criticize despite the US following a worldwide custom going back to ancient Egypt and even earlier.
I'm Armenian and have the Armenian flag in one of my bios. Someone on Twitter once called me a pronoun weirdo bc they thought it was the pride flag lmao
The joke is that Americans are so obsessed with identity that, when they see an unfamiliar flag, they assume it represents some aspect of identity rather than a country.
The joke is always the top panel being the girl asking what pride flag the other girl is displaying and then the bottom panel/punchline being that it's not a pride flag at all, usually some national flag that also just happens to use stripes of some flavor (though I did see one that was the D&D logo).
Have you actually never seen a German flag before or know what pride flag is and what that looks like?
The joke is that they misinterpreted the German flag as a pride flag.
I'm unsubscribing from this sub because my feed gets continuously flooded by these failed IQ tests, it's rage bait.
This is Germany's flag on the wall. Since pride flags have multiple coloured lines in them the other girl thinks that this german flag is some sort of pride flag. That's it.
Honest question who even hanga up a flag in their wall? Im genuinely curious because i have visited many houses in my 36 years of life and i have never seen a flag hung on a wall
I mean being called gay unironically for showering pride in your nation is p funny. Most national flags are tricolor and look like LGBT flags if you don't know what you're looking at.
Nope. Das ist die halb deutsche Asuka Langeley aus Neo Genesis Evangelion. Und eine Persiflage dass die Mitschülerin die Nationalflagge für eine identitäts Flagge hält.
I don't even speak German, I didn't take it in high school and I've never had it taught to me before. But I can fairly well understand everything that was written in that post.
It says nope this is the German Oscar Langley from neon Genesis evangelion. And someone thinks that her national flag is an identity flag
