Does anyone even get the concept of a 'rainbow crosswalk'? It ensures that people walk all over the 'rainbow flag' with their dirty shoes. This is sign of disrespect in almost the entire world.
It also means you can’t really avoid it, though, I think that’s more the point.
You can avoid looking up at flags. And they’re not so ubiquitous. Much harder with something like this, or on the side of buses, for example (as it is in Melbourne), IMHO…
You can't avoid walking all over their pride symbol. ;)
Take a crosswalk where idiots do burnouts at night all the time, paint it funny colours, and suddenly you have an ample supply of hate crimes.
Take a crosswalk and cover it in slippery plastic paint and skidmarks are inevitable.
The rainbow itself is to groom children. Kids are interested in shiny colorful things.
Who uses a crosswalk? Children. An adult jaywalks or even in a city doesn't even think about it at all, whereas a child is terrified of getting run over and hyper focused on the crosswalk. So the rainbow flag crosswalk is associated with protection - that's where you're "safe" to cross or "transition" to the other side.
Absolutely about grooming kids.
Laughs in Sweden They don't jaywalk there... It was weirdly noticeable, while I was living there, but it is hugely frowned upon...
Not sure if our resident Swedes want to chime in on whether this is only a city thing, or if there's more to it, but from what I've read, I'm not the first foreigner to pick up on that, lol...
But I mean, it's not really terribly surprising, given their whole national "psyche" (following orders, conforming, etc.), tbh...
Yeah but the rainbow flag is a symbol of proud perversion and the foot fetish is emblematic of this Nietzschean values-inverted upside-down world. So you're basically participating in a subverted form of respect where the profane is rendered into the sacred.
Idk if this is the conscious intent but it certainly fits.
