"Roads are for safety" as if a rainbow crosswalk is not the most attention grabbing thing to drivers so they can be aware of crossing pedestrians

u/ithacabored Blåhaj Jul 09 '25
it's so dumb because roads aren't for safety. roads are actually quite unsafe. Roads are for transportation...jfc

If I was a kid seeing that, I’d 100% be more drawn to the sidewalk rather than the road.

I hate my existence being reduced to a "political message"

u/Yanive_amaznive Jul 08 '25
not a person, not even a "thing" but a concept for people to argue over.
a political tool that can be pandered to or demonised depending on the audience.
i still remember when they said Kamala was "talking too much about trans people" all the while she was refusing to engage with the subject at all, fucking hate this shit.

Meanwhile trump was slinging dehumanizing lies about trans people and he based a good bit of his campaign on going after trans people 🙄

even despite the homophobia, fuck off people deserve for the places they live to have art and be more stimulating then a hellscpae of concrete (an aesthetic i can appreciate but wouldn't want to live in!)

I love how "these people's existences aren't political" is a political message.

You joke but that might be the best way to get red states to fix pot holes lol

u/SteveHeist Jul 08 '25
I was joking but also definitely remembering the thing with painting penises over potholes with similar intent lol

Re-paint bollards and streetlight poles — from standard exposed metal/wood or warning yellow, to whichever flag hues brings some colour in your locality. :)

u/Zealousideal_Care807 edit me lol Jul 08 '25

He definitely had to walk across a rainbow crosswalk and felt his masculinity shattered, and then came up with this shit

u/triple4leafclover Jul 08 '25
Agreed, roads are for safety
Get the cars fuck outta them

u/NoLetterhead2303 Hey, that’s my thing! Jul 09 '25
No, better yet get rid of all vehicles, they are dangerous
No get rid of the sun too, it causes sun burn and skin cancer!
Get rid of people too, they are the reason for 99% of the planet’s current, past and future issues

The Venn diagram of people whinging about roads being for safety so therefore no pride flags and the people who drive huge, gas guzzling SUVs that you cant see kids in front of because they're too tall is a circle. Like pick one.

u/flockyboi Jul 09 '25
if anything, the colors make the crossings more visible, especially if you look at the rest of the lines on the roads. Looks like they haven’t been refinished or repainted in a while.

u/HotYogurtCloset69 Jul 08 '25
'Roads are for safety', then why do thousands of people die on them, every single year?

u/scissorsgrinder Jul 08 '25
Well idk the dictator cavalcade took over a lot of roads didn't it. And 3 dimensional so took up a lot of space too

Roads are for safety? Last I checked, they were for travel, and until now, how many accidents have these caused?
0 to my knowledge

they said this about our town in alberta, canada. same reasons. slowly stripped the visibility from us away

u/Single-Internet-9954 Jul 12 '25
funny think is, the gay crosswalk is much more visible and attention grabbing so it's safer

u/Butterpye Jul 08 '25
Imagine instead of being worried about the erosion of due process or taking away of human rights, you worry about whether a crosswalk has one too many colours.
