I used a flag in my game and posted a screenshot on social media and I got hate. They said because I am straight and I should not use that flag. The picture showed Brent and Brant Hecking with the flag in the background. I didn't even post a caption. Just a pic. I was proud because I even looked up what flag was the right one to use at their house. I learned a lot and that's why I shared the screenshot. I had to delete the post because it went the wrong way. I don't think we need more content like flags because if used correctly or incorrectly it is always wrong for someone.
Hey, don't let people dictate what you do like that. They only have as much power over you as you give them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with showing appreciation and support the way you did. Be confident and stand by what you say and do - that generates respect. On social media, which can be a brutal place, we can't let people's comments sway us. If we do, then maybe we should consider stepping back and take better care of ourselves. People are always and have always been very busy telling others what they should and should not do. And it's some of the oldest nonsense as well. Pay no mind, post your flag and put yourself on ignore mode. Except when it comes to the good things - soak those up ;)
