...and they replaced the icon with an actual snowflake. This is like an Onion article.
I'm a somewhat a proud sjw myself, and this is just silly. It smells like a deliberate attempt to make us look bad.
- ThrowawayR2 7y ago> "It smells like a deliberate attempt to make us look bad." This individual is in Norway and so it seems unlikely that he has anything to do with the culture wars in the US. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." as they say.
- conradfr 7y agoThere's always someone more sjw than you and maybe one day you'll even be labeled alt-right for no reason and taste what you did to others.
- aganame 7y agoWhat do you think I have done to others?
- anotherevan 7y ago> replaced the icon with an actual snowflake. But I live in the southern hemisphere and it is summer now. Today it was once of the hottest days in my country's recorded history... Should I be offended that they are using northern hemisphere iconography? Are Microsoft anti-southern hemisphere? This reminds me of the Windows Fall Creators Update two years ago, which they are calling the Autumn Creators Update outside of North America, including in the southern hemisphere where it was Spring. Also, no apostrophe. A marketing fail on so many levels.

- JollyGoodFellow 7y ago> It smells like a deliberate attempt to make us look bad. It's not very nice having done to you what your lot frequently do to others, is it now...
- aganame 7y agoAre you implying that "your side" wouldn't look bad without help from "my side"? That's a rather amazing claim.
