Flag of someone's personal opinion that some people seem to take really damn seriously for some reason. As a casual watcher (not a patron either obv) of his videos, I never would have guessed that his mostly light-hearted and fun videos about geography, history, flags and hexagons etc would inspire such strong feelings and outright hatred from some people. Wild.

LastEsotericist

Flag of the based department


Piastrellista88

Flag of too many people who find it hard to understand that you can still like a youtuber and his work without needing to agree with his personal opinions on every single aspect of the existence.


paperclipeater

i wouldn’t think those people are the ones calling him a fascist though


StereoTunic9039

It's a circlejerk sub, it's not hate speech or anything extreme


paperclipeater

yeah idrc i just mean that i think you can disagree with someone’s opinions and not call them something terrible at the same time. i get its a joke sort of but it’s not really funny and degrades the meaning of the word


The-Potion-Seller

Wait, folks think he’s a fascist? Or is that just an injoke on this sub


paperclipeater

i think it’s more of just a joke but idk i don’t think it’s great to undermine a word like that personally lol also would your potions kill even the strongest man?


ForgingIron

Okay but I don't like him or his work


LunchTwey

☹️


Swolnerman

I think a lot of it comes from the fact that people mostly don’t know shit about flags, and have a high trust in him. The things he says sound sensical and seem like baseline flag rules rather than his opinion on flags and for someone without the previous knowledge it’s hard to see any other perspective that could exist


chickensmoker

Flag of this is the first intellectually challenging content I was ever exposed to, and therefore must be 100% factual and true (still probably better than most of the other “intellectual” content young people find online tho)


ilmalaiva

intellectual ideas like ”tourists visit the UK because they have a royal family” and ”schools don’t need to teach people languages because google translate exists”

Goblin_Crotalus

"Why dont we use a hexagon as a flag?"


CastleofWamdue

I don't know, I'm sure a design could be thought of


B4NN3Rbk

Too distinct


Pddyks

Lies triangles are best shape triangle supremacy 🔺️ 🔺️ 🔺️ 🔺️ 🔺️ 🔺️ 🔺️Triangle is strongest triangle flags are best no hexagon flag, hexagon weak, hexagon bad weapon unlike triangle. TRIANGLE BEST!!!


Cheezeepants

triangles are the bestagons doesn't have the same ring to it


Worried_Student_7976

are you the guy who was complaining about flags of fascist countries


[deleted]

The what


Worried_Student_7976

nah not you


StanIsHorizontal

Feels very unlikely with the flair


GolfSerious

“Fans” is a stretch; a lot of people here are hate watchers lol


CastleofWamdue

I don't "hate watch" I don't have time for that.


Boreal_Star19

This one was less controversial imo


erythro

did Nunavut very dirty


Statistical_Insanity

He was having nun av ut


LineOfInquiry

Common Nunavut W


Krydtoff

For me, it would be good if it didn’t look like it was made in MS Paint

Owenterra

[The video of you want to watch it](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6wYSpLtwRI&t=303s)


ApachePrimeIsTheBest

this stupid little pimp made this video member only for like 7 MONTHS


Owenterra

It does make sense for him to try to make money from his job


ThymeIsEasy

Spoken like a true fascist


Fun_Penalty_6755

he's just doing a bad job at it


Snazzy21

Remember when he was going to do a series on Indian Reservations in the US? Feels like his priorities have changed since covid. The few videos he does release are good, but there are so few now


ApachePrimeIsTheBest

he also temporarily made it so you had to pay to comment on his videos once


RedTheGamer12

Because of the bots in his comments.


DrVeigonX

Did he end up doing that series member only or not at all?


Snazzy21

Dont know, not a member. I don't think he would of made it members only because of the effort he put into the first one


yeggog

>CGP Grey thinks flags should be overly simple, corporate designs, he's ruining flag design! CGP Grey: Rates New Brunswick A tier


Asd396

It goes hard


RestoredSodaWater

I cannot believe he gave BC A tier and PEI in D like what they are both horrible but PEI has the funny long lion.


Fun_Penalty_6755

as an australian i take offense to his assertion that our state flags are good because they all confirm to the same standard. they basically run into the same problem as the American 'Seal on a bedsheet' flags; being largely indistinguishable sans one overdesigned feature, just with a reminder of colonialism in the top left. he thinks the problem with the SoaB flags is that they have words on them.


Rosefire_of_Dundrich

As a fellow Aussie can say I'm quite disappointed that ACT wasn't also mentioned noting Grey mentioned NT's flag


[deleted]

Exclure les drapeaux provinciaux francophones est une insulte à la population francophone du Canada


Nexso1640

Honnêtement ça m’étonne absolument pas, c’est bien rare que les Anglo respecte la population canadienne francophone.


Need_PcAdvice

FUCK YOUU


corbinianspackanimal

Mais ces drapeaux-là ne sont pas les drapeaux principaux des provinces ; le drapeau de la communauté fransaskois, par exemple, n’est pas le drapeau principal de la province même s’il a un statut officiel. Il faut bien sûr respecter les droits linguistiques des francophones partout au pays mais ça ne veux pas dire qu’il faut toujours mentionner les drapeaux des communautés francophones dans les vidéos YouTube.


[deleted]

Je me souviens, donc je ne suis pas d'accord


Ki-28-10

En même temps ce n’est pas commun. Les provinces canadiennes sont pas mal les seules provinces / États à avoir des drapeaux pour les populations francophones de manière semi-officielle. Je pense que c’est probablement plus un oublis.


TheOri23

Quels sont les drapeaux provinciaux francophones ? Je pensais que Québec était la seule province francophone au Canada (excluant le Nouveau Brunswick). (Je ne suis pas canadien ou québecois)


Fighting_Seahorse

This one wasn't THAT controversial. The lack of writing on Canadian flags kept him from making some truly stupid choices.

Flag of a subreddit all getting One-Guy’d by a YouTuber


average_reddit_u

I could make a 3 hour response video to that video, because I fucking disagree.


pupo9ee

Seriously, wtf is British Columbia doing in A tier?


Ember129

As a British Columbian, I agree, that shit is ass


General_Spills

It’s a fucking masterpiece


Litteralbabyeater

It's a masterpiece of an ass design!


Ryan-The-Movie-Maker

I was pleasantly surprised that it got such a high rating, I personally think the design is a fun mess


Exploding_Antelope

It has a sun with both spiky rays AND wiggly rays it’s a masterpiece


Fin55Fin

I’m gonna kill him, Alberta flag balls. It’s the big blue sky on an open plains with the Rockies in the back. Newfoundland also balls as it just looks minimalist but old at the same time

Laze_ee

When the man with opinions shares his opinions while stating that they're his opinions on a opinion piece 😱


Bignate2001

I genuinely don’t understand why people got so worked up over Grey having his own personal metrics of what makes a flag good.


okmemeaccount

i havent watched it but the current country wide canadian flag is peak to me. simple and iconic


Physical-Order

People freaking out about this is so funny to me because it’s subjective. He’s not claiming to be objective. Like let the man have his opinions the videos are funny and interesting.


thiccboy1200

Saskatchewan is not a mid tier flag it is at least A tier it represents the Provence well and the prairie Lillie pills it together no way he put that ugly ass tri color above it I don't even like the Provence that much but the flag is excellent


Fine-Afternoon-36

Bad flag. It has text on it


Litteralbabyeater

Why are people hating on him so much?


ffloofs

Flag of a fascist YouTuber posting shitty opinions


HotTakesBeyond

A FUCKING LEAF. *hahahahhaha* A LEAF! https://youtu.be/0l20Pac9YWM?si=C9qu9KbIwww4yRPN


DazedToaster158

Him saying the Canadian flag is good was the *least* controversial part of the video


JetAbyss

J.J. McCollough solos CGP Mid sadly


The_real_melone

why can’t they coexist in peace they don’t even do the same form of content what is this comment


Unlucky_Degree470

I'll reserve judgement on CGP Grey but JJ McCullough is for sure a fascist.


JetAbyss

how


erythro

he has wrong opinions about flags, duh


cmzraxsn

oh ffs i don't even want to know. lemme guess it's just union jack featured = F tier right? and hoo boy we'll have words if he's rated New Brunswick lowly.


DrToaster1

British Columbia and New Brunswick both got A tier


cheese_bruh

NB should be S
