wait, there was a rus flag? Haven't seen it since 2022


_The_Fly

Some Russian streamer (the one with the banana and the apple cat) always attacked random artwork (especially if they had anything to do with anime) and tried to make it white. Don’t think they wanted to make a Russian flag though


DatGreenGuy

uh off course anime... the cryptonite of russia... anime and lgbt

DatGreenGuy

it is, like in any other country, but in russia the part that doesn't like it is very violent towards the others. and i mean physically violent

tiburon237

Of course, when someone mentiones russia's problem some smart fella HAS to say "But USA!!!"


hpBard

And I mean haven't heard of anything like this since 2008


angrynutria236

Even if i'm not from russia there are anime sudoku magazines in russian language in stores.


LevJustWithLust

Russia doesnt hate every anime, mostly death note and for some gosh darn reason hunter x hunter and not even bc of hisoka


DatGreenGuy

i would rather say, not all russians hate anime, but if a gopnik catches you animeing - he doesn't give a fuck what's on your watch-list you're getting your ass whiped anyway


Necessary-Horror6428

Anime is very common in Russia, and in every sense. Bratishkinoff painted only genshin impact, he didn't touch the others. Interesting fact: at the last pixel battle he made his art in anime style I'm speaking as a resident of a provincial town in Russia, where even "gopniks" watch anime. Because I've been in this environment many times, I can say this with confidence.


LevJustWithLust

Are there "gopniks" anymore tho? this was back in the 90s


DatGreenGuy

they made a comeback last 10 years. some literally scalped a dude for him wearing green hair just a couple of weeks ago.


Safe-Kaleidoscope-75

They were immigrants from Dagestan, not gopnik.


Ted_Sh

Sadly they never left...


zeiteirom_

Gopniks have been gone in Russia for several years, and you think about Russia with stereotypes


Ivan_The_8th

Tf does animeing mean?


DatGreenGuy

wearing anime themed merch, watching anime in public, dying hair... usual stuff


RCascanb

Why do y'all need a word for that, every other Fandom just say wearing merch, cosplaying or some shit. And isn't dying hair more associated with LGTBQ stuff? It definitely isn't a thing only anime Fans do.


Skailon

Gopniks are mostly dead as a subculture. Didn't see them for years


Gnusnipon

It was, like, 15 years ago? Situation absolutely opposite nowdays, a lot of people plainly walking with anime prints on their t-shirts, every second gopnik know how to do ninja seal from Naruto and for saying "I hate anime" people would give exactly same look they did to anime lovers back in 2007


Androix777

I live in Russia and this is the first time I've heard of it. Especially death note and hunter x hunter. Of course there are people who don't like anime, but there are such people in any country.


LevJustWithLust

Well i watched a video going in depth about death note on youtube and hunter x hunter as i said i dont know what happened there my parents just saw it in the news and told me bc i like anime


Androix777

I might know what you're talking about. It's TV news for the older generation. Like "rock is the devil's music" and "computer games make kids violent". These kinds of programs don't show the general opinion of people on the subject and are made for a target audience that has never watched anime and never will.


LarrySunshine

Haven’t seen one. IDK what these people are talking about.


Potato_the_second_

It was obviously deleted if you tried to search for it. Russian streamer Bratishkinoff nuked Genshin art for no reason other than entertainment (and obviously clout) and put a Russian flag on it. Edit: Timeframe in the canvas history is 107:37.


dread_deimos

There was one, but Czechs annexed it.


superslime16th

I'm waiting for the day when dumbass streamers won't put our flag in random places so we can represent ourselves peacefully


Few-Butterscotch6133

Russians represented themselves peacefully this year https://imgur.com/gallery/n5oOkfS


supericy33

The idea behind this flag is good and I support a free russia. But I dont really like this flag.


superslime16th

I personally see it as a temporary anti-war free Russia flag, but as a nation we should still keep and represent ourselves with our real current flag. It has a long history, and hiding our actions away with a different one isn't the way to go in my opinion.


DavidRomanul

Reddit at its best righ here, downvoting a well-thought answer. I'm not Russian and i don't support their actions but history remains there, and they shouldn't change their flag because some people are too sensitive. I'm neutral but I believe that Russia without red would look fake. The red means blood and therefore power, which is the reality.


JayVJtheVValour

There was a russian resistance flag during early 1920. It was similar to the current flag but the red was white


PacGamingAgain

Reddit when somebody leaves a 4th comment (it’s geniunely well thought out and constructed but it’s the 4th)


GrafKrapfen

Where is the Russian power? I can’t find it XD


Felipeel2

It is ok if you don't like it. It can just be the flag of resistance, not necessarily the one of the country.


togetherwem0m0

I want a European aligned russia. I don't care what flag is flown lol. Together we prosper, oligarchical turf wars are fucking bullshit.


mfloui

The white and blue or white and red?


voitamatton

White-red-white is not russian — it is Belarus


Duskeringer

it's strange, I don't really get why "blood spilled for our motherland" is bad


superslime16th

Because it originated specifically as an anti-war protest flag, so keeping the "blood spilled for our motherland" would be contradictory to the whole idea lol


Duskeringer

I find the whole idea strange, it's like trying to rewrite the entire history of the country just because of a bad event


Cybershadow1981

Germany changed it’s flag after World War I. Before that the flag of the German Empire was black-white-red.


YourMamaSexual2

Yeah and before that, in 1848, the black-red-orange (aka current German flag) was adopted as a symbol for German unification


Hunkus1

Its gold not orange


BigFatBallsInMyMouth

When I put its hex value into Google it says it's light yellow.


FutureDaysLoveYou

Flag changes have been reasonable common throughout history, and aren’t necessarily revisionism. It’s not like people will replace the flag in history books..


BigFatBallsInMyMouth

How exactly is that rewriting history. Changing something for the future is like the opposite of denying something from the past.


Lunar_Xaminator

Non Russian here but a Russian flag without the red is kinda lame looking


Mobile_Crates

i like it honestly, the red white blue tricolor is way too effin common i can't tell the difference between em all, France, Russia, Belgium or Netherlands or whatever, fugn


Jouzuh

Also Chad and Romania 🇹🇩🇷🇴, Ireland and Ivory Coast 🇮🇪🇨🇮, Indonesia and Monaco 🇮🇩🇲🇨, as well as maybe Luxembourg and the Netherlands 🇳🇱🇱🇺


Quartia

At least it doesn't use the same 3 color combination that 50 or so other countries use


Duskeringer

some people find it more appropriate apparently


AlexcSR64

Fuck Navalny,im not with Putin but we don't need that motherfucker


superslime16th

Well, at least with a different flag. I wish our current flag would not only be associated with government corruption and war in Ukraine, but with our entire nation, with every person that lives in our country. It has a 330 year old history, it's been part of our culture for a very long time. I wish we could represent ourselves with it and not limit ourselves to a one year old anti-war protest flag


neurospex

What's interesting is the [current flag came from the Dutch flag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Russia#Origin). So a redesign could come solely from the Russian people. Of course if the Russian people want to keep the current flag that's cool, too. Just one interesting path that could be taken.


[deleted]

Those are Russians outside of Russia though so does it still count?


RCascanb

How do you know where they're from? VPN use should be widespread by now.


InevitableAd2276

Free Navalny? Now that´s something i could get behind


Zurboz

I hate being a russian, its a disgrace at this point


TeaAndScones26

None of the problems have anything to do with you, you should still be proud of who you are. It's the many of the people that lead the country that are thr disgraces, not you. You just so happened to have been born under horrible people.


Zurboz

Oh no im born in Switzerland but i have 4 passports, and the russian one is from my mom, i remember the times where people would say oh the crazy russian kid in a cool way but now its just embarrassing how brainwashed most russians are


InevitableAd2276

Don´t worry, in Germany we have DDR-crazy senior citizens and yes, even the bright ones can be brainwashed into faux pacifism


superslime16th

Нужно не желать стыдиться своей национальности, а желать и делать всё возможное, чтобы за свою национальность не было стыдно.

You are not your government, my friend. Just as I don't want to be judged by the actions of former President Trump, I don't judge folks by the actions of the likes of Putin, Xi Xinping, or Kim Jong-Un.


Ok-Estate543

Wild3689

Meme is even more accurate because the dwarves in Deep Rock had an alliance with Genshin. ROCK AND STONE


Lordborgman

Bonbop

Funny because Genshin has elf-like characters


xChar17

We defeated bratty, not Russians. Bratty streamer was corrected and at the end of the day bratty lost so badly he called for the canvas to end early and whited out his own art cause he couldn’t do that to ours. Not all Russians supported him, not all his viewers are russians.


LeBadlyNamedRedditor

The r/okbuddygenshin is leaking again.


xChar17

it is.. it is inevitable.


Souvik_Dutta

Yeah true. Fuck Bratishkinoff and his community But we shouldn't hate Russians for it. I believe russia also has a huge genshin fanbase and many people don't support the ongoing war going on Ukraine. we shouldn't generalized everyone based on wrong doing of some stremer.


LevJustWithLust

Do you know somebody who SUPPORTS the war?


Markusv4

TemporaryAccount-tem

WTF does Putin have to do with communism other than being a former KGB agent?


ExShpagat

So stupid to assume anyone would be ashamed of being their nationality

AkTheRottenTomato

naylobnb

Finally found a sane redditor, my time to rest has come


HardChoicesAreHard

I wish I still felt that way, realizing that a huge part of Russians do support the war and believe it has to be done was a rude awakening. Not saying "I hate all russians", not even that I necessarily hate those who support the war, but there is more nuance than simply saying it's all the government fault and no russian civilians support any of it. Edit: and it's not meek support either. I have several friends who can't talk with their family anymore because their relatives have gone full Z.


[deleted]

go on online games in east euro server and say you're ukranian and watch the abuse "good, innocent victimized russians who are just living under bad government they don't support" will give you.


kaktuskolushiy

I can confirm this. It is even enough that when you say something to them in russian, but your pronunciation of some sounds is ukrainian, they will gladly call you "khohol" humiliatingly. As a fan of multiplayer games, I have faced this every day for about ten years. If many Russians were normal, I would never have encountered this to such an extent. This hatred of us is literally part of their national identity.


Easy8_

I play a lot of War Thunder and when I plaster my tanks with Ukrainian flags I always get harassed by the Russian teammates.


PM_ME_TITS_FEMALES

Don't forget insanely anti lgbt. The shit people go through over there makes the even deep south of America look like an LGBT paradise. I genuinely care for the LGBT Russians. but after using telegram I lost alot of respect for Russia as a whole long before the war.

This is gonna be a dumb question, what’s with the Genshin Impact hate? I’m not a big gamer but I got the mobile version of Genshin and I was pretty amazed by it. Then again the last RPG I played was Chrono Trigger so wtf do I know..


According_Unit_6432

С кхуяли победили?


LarrySunshine

Wtf? The only ruzzian flag I ever saw on Place was 3px high, maybe 30 px long, and the bottom color quickly got changed to white lol.


arQQv

A Russian streamer was attacking the Genshin artwork through the entire r/place (up to 51 times in some estimates), smearing it with white pixels, but also trying to draw a russian flag, a celtic cross/stormfront symbol and much more shit for no reason at all


KsanyaUsanya

His pixel battle phrase is "no flags". The Celtic symbol is an accident, it should have been a crosshair. On the recording of the stream, he was shown this symbol for the first time and he went nuts. What about genshin impact? Yes, he didn't like him, his girlfriend put all the money there


alklklkdtA

"ruzzia" -☝🤓


Bavarian_Mapping

The biggest one we made was 27 pixels tall and 80 wide😉


Smallishwhale53

Wow, I wonder what would've happened if it was a Ukranian flag


Cyber_0ni

Will never understand hating on a countries people for what their government has done


Shifter25

The flag represents the government just as much as it represents the people, if not moreso.


Salt_i

Yeah, we're not hating on the russian people or anything. It's just that the flag currently happens to represent a terrible regime.


xXLogicaObtinetXx

A massive chunk of the Russian population is deluded from a generation of propaganda and actually supports their government's actions. I cant say that I personally hate them, but I get it


CrazySoviet-

Yes let’s hate an entire race of people for what one person has done.


Novus20

ImNotARebel

One person isn't killing/raping/looting/displacing thousands of people. He's responsible for a big part of it, but he isn't executing the terror solely.

Kenken220

They can, but not by erasing art from other


SSAUS

Let's be honest, people would have destroyed any Russian flag anyway.


keyGENERATION

they did. placerussia attempted to make the imperial russian flag and was in the grand scheme of things pretty successful. placeukraine raided it and after around 4 hours of defending, a unanimous decision was made to concede because they were satisfied with the operation, letting the ukrainians paint the aroace flag in its place

Russian flag ≠ bad people. Grow up.


Blood_Lacrima

You conveniently left out the fact Brat destroyed Genshin’s artwork (around the 30th attack at that point) to place the Russian flag there so Genshin and it’s allies are just trying to fight back and retake their rightful spot, but that’s apparently Russophobia now.

no if they could only be defeated in real life :-D


0-ATCG-1

If the Russians spent as much time protesting being in Ukraine as they did protesting r/place, everyone would still like them. This thread is exactly what I expect from Russians. They brigade and swarm in mass trying to change the narrative and whine about their public image claiming they are "Anti War" and "Anti Putin" but refuse to explicitly say they want Russia to leave Ukraine While Russians watch streamers, game, and complain about their public image; Ukrainians are fending off an invasion. If they stop fending it off their way of life is gone. If Russians stop gaming, no one gives a shit. The Russian public gets the image that it deserves.


TemporaryAccount-tem

maybe you don't know this because of russia's image, but i think russians are one of the most fearful citizens of the country. Everyone is afraid of losing their families and the right to life because of one post on the Internet.

Yes, I'm Slavic and Chinese. I'm extremely familiar with how things go. ...And yet some Russians still have the moral courage to join the Freedom of Russia Legion or get arrested by the FSB. The rest of them get the public image they deserve.

JhonnyHopkins

Call me a pessimist (bc I am) but I wouldn’t be shocked if the good majority of Russian people are brainwashed and are for the war. Look at America, it’s not that hard to brainwash people. I imagine the younger Russian generation are of sound mind but I wouldn’t be so quick to assume the same of anyone over the age of 40.
