the Brazilian flag makes me irrationally angry.
no, wait, that’s incorrect. the brazillian flag makes me rationally angry.
but first let me explain that I have nothing against Brazil or Brazilians. They’re cool people in my experience, and I’m sure it’s a great country. but that flag has personally victimized me.
Look at this flag. What country has a flag this complicated? VERY FEW, LET ME TELL YOU THAT
and as someone who had to recreate this flag for their VGAPride program, because of the Brazil Gay Flag… ARGH this flag is so complicated.
It’s not the case anymore because I reorganized how the program worked, but at one point it had EVERY SINGLE OTHER FLAG in one file, and BRAZIL in another file, because if I put Brazil in with any other flags it would crash the program. I had to modify the max limit on how many graphical commands a given flag could take, because the Gay Flag of Brazil was MORE COMPLICATED THAN AT LEAST HALF THE OTHER FLAGS PUT TOGETHER. I had to add the a new command for drawing different sized stars as otherwise this flag would be way too complicated to implement.
and the worst part? Scroll back up and compare those two flags. I didn’t even do that good a job of implementing the flag! Some of it is because I’m limited to 640x480, but some of it is just that this flag was so complicated that it was hurting me too much to create.
And that’s after I wrote a secondary application to let me design flags outside my program, because manually designing this thing like I did EVERY SINGLE OTHER PRIDE FLAG I EVER IMPLEMENTED would have been too hard, especially with the text (which is again, isn’t done that well. especially that “E”, which is way too straight, especially for a gay pride flag).
Like, I’m sorry Brazil. You’re cool, but your flag gives me PTSD flashbacks.
