We all know that's not the real Straight Pride flag though.

This is.

I'm terrible at Gears MP so I'll probably never see my flag outside of like a menu but this is great. Gimme.

The more ways you can represent yourself, the better. But hey, you gotta get good at the game to show off the flag as I believe it will only be visible to others when you get MVP in a match!

Fucking rad. I hope I come across a yellow/blue Human Rights Campaign flag, but that may be a tad bit too specific.

As an old Gears fan, I'm loving everything they're doing with the franchise.
It's even cooler because Gears is like the archetype of the dudebro shooter, but Gears 5 is doing fine on the diversity front, angering the anti-SJW crowd as it should.

The Coalition has just absolutely been killing it with this game. Just wonderful to see stuff like this.

That's pretty cool, actually.

Also, I'm spying a Sea Of Thieves flag there, too. 👀

Not sure if this decision was Coalition or MS or both but MS just seems to be doing so many things right lately. The fact that this isn't a paid DLC too makes it a genuine gesture and not just some quick money grab.

Love it. That's one thing I've always appreciated and respected about gears. I felt that they've done a great job of representing people from all walks of life. Good stuff coalition.

Let the straw-man arguments commence!




And awaaaay we go!
Hmmm...
You thirsty-ass motherfuckers need to learn what the word "allegation" means.
Because a LOT of people on era can't think for themselves, can't be bothered to read or investigate, or they just need something in their life to rally behind in order to make them feel like keyboard superheroes. It's the epitome of hive-mind.

I can guarantee you than any one of these people (whom lash out on forums with just an inking of an allegation about some kind of abuse) wouldn't say shit if they saw someone being harassed in real life.
Accusations are evidence? Just like that?

Hey everyone, bluexy touched me inappropriately last week!

There. Now, there's evidence of you touching people inappropriately without their consent. Everyone should boycott your publications and articles!

I can already imagine the raging fury of the fragile right wing snowflakes going to social media and incoherently typing mumbling rants with "SJW" and "Woke" and "Broke" being part of their banal tirades.
I had to google WTF "woke" and "broke"refers to...damn I'm getting old.

That's cool. Had no idea there were that many different pride flags.
Same here...I'm learning all kinds of new things today.

I thought the straight pride flag was black and white stripes? At least that's what I've been seeing in articles and such.
it's the one they cooked up for that horrid 'straight pride' parade in Boston last week. who knows if there's a Council of Straights that decides what's official for that clownshow though.

This is amazing, I hope this becomes standard in games like this just like it's now more standard to have flags for all countries instead of just a handful.

I'm in a trans discord and literally 4 different people downloaded the game from gamepass just because of this. Nice move
