[@petersanten3294]

I Bought sea of thieves on whim and was prepared to be salty at its combat/PvP based community, But Im actually impressed at how the game balances PVP. Yeah, im only a couple days in playing and Ive been destroyed more times than should be possible in the span of the 6 hours i have so far, But the way that the game handles losing a battle is just very forgiving to the loser and rewarding to the winner. Also from the get-go you have access to the same equipment as any 1000 hour player at any given time, just with less fancy skins. (Though one thing I will say is that I haven't done any of bigger quest, just small ones, so I have very little to lose)

Rainbow flags have been unerringly friendly so far. This one time, my brother got stranded on an island after a Kraken took our ship by surprise and some random brig started making a BEELINE for him. He naturally freaked out and started hiding the loot he had but when the guy got within range he just asked if my brother needed a ride and offered to take him to the nearest outpost. Obviously he didn’t believe this act of goodwill, but went along with it because he didn’t really have anything to lose. The WHOLE TIME he was expecting a backstab but the guy just gathered up the loot, drove him to the outpost, and started offering HIS loot as a gift on top of everything. Brother said thank you and the dude logged out. God bless the gays. I cannot wait to be disappointed by trolls flying this flag.

[@trickytreyperfected1482]

If I ever get this game, part of me wants to fly the rainbow flag because I feel like it represents a part of me. But the other part of me realizes it puts a huge target on my back from the people who think I'm homophobic and from the people who think I'm gay.

the stereotypes series is a perfect fit for this game, so well done on finding that! the stereotypes also seem to be surprisingly accurate. you could either do a more extensive outfit stereotype, as DA wasn't out back when you made the first video and you didn't really touch on "fashion lords" who dress in standard-looking clothing, a ship stereotype and a finally, most obviously, a weapon stereotype video (I assume the latter two are well on their ways)

[@Bacxaber]

I'm planning on doing another clothing one and I've begun writing its script, but it's pretty barebones at the moment. Remember, not every new outfit has a stereotype. Either not enough people wear it, or too many do and there's no recognizable pattern.

You got to understand. Especially with the positive reception of some in the comments. The rainbow flag is a alright choice for a bait flag. It’s perfect for the historical technique of raising a friendly flag, and then putting up a pirate flag last minute as you attack a ship. If I see someone who puts up the pride flag and then puts up the Jolly Roger right before attacking me. I can’t even get mad if I sink. That’s just classy. So really, the people using the flag and going full aggression mode can be either trolls, or just history buffs who figured it was the best “friendly flag”

If you're using it to bait friendliness, that's fine. What isn't fine is bigotry. I take issue with the toxic asshats, that's all.
