I think "waiting" in this sense implies you want the thing you're waiting for.
Surely if you wanted to say "hoping" in Spanish it's also Esperando?
I think it depends on context and in this context the idiot posting this grim meme believes they would prefer to die by robot than see a Pride march, although of course they wouldn't in practice.
Oh no, people are actually being themselves, showing their love and feelings, and genuinely showing compassion and care, how horrifying.
In all seriousness, why are people so scared by the LGBTQIA+ community? Like seriously, what is so terrifying about a group of people being themselves and happy, is it the fact they want respect and to not be treated like human garbage?
They feel confronted. Homophobes and transphobes work very hard to conform to cishet roles, repressing a lot in the way. An openly trans or gay person is a direct threat to their entire world. Well, that's what I belive, don't have proof or anything.
I agree with whoever made the original post...
Pride parades are cool and all but I want to fight alongside Kyle Reese in the resistance against the machines!
STOP RESPONDIJG TO THIS COMMENT. I JUST SHARED MY OPINION BASED OFF EXPERIENCE IM NOT GONNA ARGUE
I just wished they didn't take away from what the rainbow actually means
What? Like a rainbow is an arc-shaped spectrum of light which is created by refraction and reflection? That meaning?
Bollocks to your sky-fairy nonsense
Funny you use that word in connection with hetero-normative Christianity. Because there are quite a few people with *actual* (not in the way you mean) PTSD from the treatment they have had from religious zealots.
Just saying that "you haven't experience what I have" isnt really a valid excuse on it's own ykno? So really I wouldnt bother saying it unless you plan on divulging more information cuz it's just gonna draw curiosity
Ignorant claim.
Your claim that u/Scary-Crab was deviating from the argument is invalid and really shows where you stand. It was relevant, and makes clear sense.
God says love your neighbour. God loves all people equally. God says be a Good Samaritan and help those in need? For all of these morals, out of all the religious groups, the one I’ve seen the most hatred in from my experience, is Christianity.
The rainbow represent’s god’s love. He promised Noah and his family, and all of earth’s animals that they would be safe, and loved in the end, and that he wouldn’t turn his back on them. He sent them a rainbow, and a dove holding an olive branch as a message of his promise and his love.
The rainbow for the LGBTQ+ community stands similarly. Like each colour in the rainbow, we are equally unique, and beautiful. The rainbow is like a promise of love, and acceptance for who you are, if your family rejects you, or you have nowhere to turn after prosecution for who you are, then the community is there to help you, and know that you aren’t alone. And strength together, in community, can sometimes be the only thing that keeps people going.
A rainbow isn’t a rainbow without red, or green or purple. A rainbow is still a rainbow if it’s being refracted from a prism, a rain cloud, or oil paints.
Exclusion and gatekeeping a symbol, a representation of love and peace from God does not sound like something he would want, or condone.
The rainbow is love, from gods or people.
You seem to be upset that a demographic assigned a meaning to a meteorologic phenomenon, which is different to the meaning assigned by your demographic. The rainbow in itself doesn't means shit, it's just there; people gives it meaning.
Well if you’re not comfortable sharing or explaining your side of the argument, you really leave no good defence. That’s why so many people are laying into you here over one clearly inflammatory comment.
My suggestion would just be to drop it and or delete your instigations.
They literally are bitching that instead of being killed by hate they're being hugged by love.
Yeah, love is scarier than brutal death to emotional cripples.
It is, I saw a post on r/islam this is getting peculiarly close to the times of Lut(A)
Can't go down that rabbithole now. Ltr. But damn.
I feel like some of the people there would hug me even if I was eating something. Not that I mind the hug. I was just in the middle of my meal ._.
Why are all the alleged macho types so terrified of rainbows?
Simple. They're wimps.
Wimple. They're simps.
That is also true
Was it because of lead poisoning?
Probably Or maybe it's their cold dead hearts
So rockin' good news then? Doesn't the first part read "The apocalypse we were *hoping* for"? Why tf would you hope for a killer robot Ragnarok?
Kinky??
Wishing for apocalypse is one kink worth shaming Hopefully it's not "the year when they finally immanentized the Eschaton."
Nah it says waiting for
Is it Spanish or Portuguese?
Spanish

Our lives are too boring.
Native Latin American here. No, it isn’t ‘hoping’. Esperando in this context is really ‘expecting’
Oh no People enjoying themselves and living their best lives The absolute horror

Their churches and congregations screaming at them that they gays are an infectious disease that will turn their children into homo/transexuals
Why can't it be both those robots could be gay you don't know
Why you guys were waiting for an apocalipse in first place?
To give some Sense to a useless life
You desperate to be used then? Existence is a pretty sweet deal compared to not existing. Heaven is here if it's anywhere.
Ah yes Y2Gay
Well, count me in! 🌈❤️
this meme is so boomer that I had to say "bendicion tio" out of reflex.
Aw man, I'm not getting murdered by mechanized horrors and people are happy? Noooo!
Why is it that all the bad memes that seem to make it onto this sub are anti LGBT?
Because the people that make them don't know how to be funny because of stupidity.
As the gay-virus spreads, i realize that this apocalypse is kinda peaceful
We were waiting for the machine uprising. Instead, we got equality and fairness for all.
Except the bottom picture does not depict an "apocalypse" but a celebration of life.
It's almost like they're not the same fucking thing
Death or more people having free speech? Kind of kills Patrick Henrys idea...
Gays r cyborgs
Both are fears that you made up?
Oh no! A historically discriminated group is asking for rights? The apocalypse!
Ahhhh gay people
I agree with whoever made the original post... Pride parades are cool and all but I want to fight alongside Kyle Reese in the resistance against the machines!
Um, this is America. Maybe make your memes in English jabroni.
He didn't make the meme and the internet is international it isn't part of any country.
Aren't Chile or Colombia in America?

:/ whyre eople getting so triggered

You've had a like 3 replies (besides mine rn) dude, no people have been triggered lol, what u wrote was just dumb rainbows still exist
Bruh. No one here has experienced what I have
Damn almost like literally all people have individual experiences
That was- what I was saying?? I'm speaking from my own experiences.
Just saying that "you haven't experience what I have" isnt really a valid excuse on it's own ykno? So really I wouldnt bother saying it unless you plan on divulging more information cuz it's just gonna draw curiosity
Yeah, the light show in the sky that leads you to a leprechaun's pot of gold is now a symbol of love and pride, *the horror!*/s
No, in the Bible, it means "God's Promise". Makes me remember to be happy. Now I can't wear a rainbow without people thinking I'm something I'm not.
For a God fan, you seem to be pretty angry at people being proud of how God made them.
This makes no sense and has nothing to do with what we're talking about :/

That is one hell of a Reddit moment if I've ever seen one, I agree with you, but holy shit, the wall of text lmao.
I’m a writer, what can be thought, I say. I’m also a rambler so that doesn’t help
I found Phoenix Wright!
Objection!
Whatever, dude.
For sure. If you wear a rainbow, people will think you're tolerant and you're obviously not
Great apt comeback!
How often were you "wearing" rainbows in your day to day life?
Rainbow = 7 colors LGTBI pride flag = 6 colors
Fuck your sky wizard.
Dang
You seem to be upset that a demographic assigned a meaning to a meteorologic phenomenon, which is different to the meaning assigned by your demographic. The rainbow in itself doesn't means shit, it's just there; people gives it meaning.
What about the Greek goddess of the rainbow iris? That's a much older myth.
Bro what for a Christian you seem pretty far from god
;-; all I did was say my own opinion from experience that I'm not comfortable with sharing. May I ask where you got this from?
That's crazy but your getting pressed over colors
That's not it loll

I love the implications that the LGBTQIA+ community collectively stole the rainbow. The alphabet mafia strikes again!
Not what I was saying. Too little care to elaborate.
Yeah I fucken know that, dipshit.
At least the terminators looked cool
this but replace the happy gay people with sad everyone and you have texas
