Misc Something in the US flag icon you will never unsee

[K0rbo]

This is pretty selfish to do, but I really need someone to share the pain with so I don't feel alone. /j
If you were to look at a US GBAtemp user's profile, and zoom in on the flag, you'll see a stray (doesn't seem like shading) yellow pixel at the top right. This is not exactly GBAtemp's fault, as it is present in the icon set (Silk) they used.
Good luck getting this little yellow square out of your head.

I have no idea why they had to redesign the pride flag, the old one was actually really nice looking. That one is a fucking abomination, like a Frankenstein monstered flag.

I think that’s been done to give shading and lighting to the icon.

 

[K0rbo]

Could be.

Because much of the US pride stuff got pushed ahead by trans and people of color, and they weren't exactly represented on the pride flag despite their pivotal roles to gain protections against discrimination and basic equality like same sex marriages.
That said if you don't like it the new one the old one isn't suddenly illegal to own or display. Just pick the one you like more, or pisses off the most amount of people at any given moment.

legitimately confused how a discussion on a yellow pixel in the us flag has spiraled into a debate about the proper flag to represent the gay community

The old pride flag was meant to represent all colors and ethnicities! The new one looks like someone wiped their ass with the flag.
