      Likewise. Basically can’t see anything rainbow like anywhere without immediately assuming it has something to do with gay.

      And everyone else assumes this too, so one can’t use a rainbow for something anymore either without everyone else assuming you’re making a statement.

      Yeah, Manzat really ruined the rainbow. Made it all about cities.

      And in Burma there’s that child eating thing.

      And in Albania the whole trans folk tradition from 6 centuries ago. With the Catholic saint of St. Anne.

      Why can’t we go back to pre-culture days when Humans didn’t use any symbolism, or meaning, or anything.

        There’s also the rainbow used for the NHS during COVID in the UK. That definitely wasn’t politicised by the government

        And that’s why rainbows are filled with disappointment thes days. It’s all fucking political. You very solidly nailed that point home, thank you.

        I miss rainbows being rainbows.

          I think you missed their point actually… rainbows were never just rainbows that you ‘remember’. You miss your innocence.

    Unfortunately, it’s not clear if the sick whale would consider this encounter “successful”…
