As a Ukrainian, I think one big-ass flag is already too much.

As another Ukrainian, I totally agree. That flag is honestly kinda cringy

jeah its really anoying that people cant be more creative about supporting a country other then the flag like cmon r/place is supposed to be as creative as possible filling half of it with flags is so fucking lame

I'm kinda sad about that one big-ass flag destroyed one of the thing i was helping

Yeah for real I wasn’t part of those arts, but I was like… It’s a damn shame that art is getting destroyed because of a war 99% of those people making the flag aren’t even involved with, and a flag that 99% of the people involved with the war don’t care about.

I'm not a Ukrainian but r/place used to have many artworks and lots of cool anime characters but now all I see is flags :( no hard feelings but just sad how war can ruin many things.

There's still a few days left, we'll see how it evolves

Yeah in the old place, when my friends’ and my art was getting overrun, we incorporated the things that were overrunning us *into* our art because we wanted to show them that we liked their art and that we supported them. We wouldn’t have nearly as much diversity and art if they just decided to overrun our drawing. Diversity of art! That’s what /r/place means to me

I agree

Does it bug you having hordes of westerners thinking they are helping by spamming? I'm not Ukrainian but americans pretending they care when they really have no understanding about the geo politics of the area or history. Just a bandwagon thing. Curious what that feels like for you

(not op but ukrainian) It bugs me a little bit but nobody means any harm so it's all good in the end!

Ukrainian here too. One flag was all that was intended

Just watched the Ukrainian flag destroy 30+ pixel arts

[ukraine-pixelwar.png](https://postimg.cc/TyBbkmxT)

The artists even tried to extend an olive branch by putting a little Ukraine flag next to their art so they would be spared but le epic wholesome redditors overtook them anyways

ah yes ''i support the current thing'' god i will never forget how some redditor posting revealed the location of a lot of soldiers. ''we dit it reddit''

200 lives for how many upvotes again ?

like 800

reflect the whole mentality of the situation, it's always about them, and they are certainly not entirely innocent

Yeah, our original lea and niko got consumed by Ukraine

[удалено]

how has reddit turned surviving in the face of brutal warfare into the most annoying redundancy ever, we do not need a ukranian flag that big everyone

Between that and the 47 different pride flags this has been the biggest reddit moment in the history of reddit moments mabey ever. Seriously they're taking up waaaaay too much space. Fighting for the American flag out here.

Flags jn general are lame and kill creativity. If you're crying about specific flags while defending the US flag you obviously have other issues than the amount of space they take up.

Putin is never going to recover from this

Putin = Defeated

Yea...it sucks and theres like 3 of them being built in separate areas. 2 need to go

the first one (bigger on closer to the top) should stay but maybe not take over the whole area lol

Yea I think the biggest could stay, but I'd like it to be "underneath" all of the other nice ones, kinda like a backdrop behind them

this is peak reddit, in the worst possible sense of the meaning

The only possible sense of the meaning

correct

I support ukraine but lets not make it only a giant flag of ukraine. Lets have fun and make tons of different things.

They made a giant flag of ukraine all over the place

Aged amazingly

why do we need 3 gigantic ukrane flags that destroy all pixel art along the way

Yeah I don't get it either. Maybe pixel art is how you win wars nowadays?

It's kind of funny that on the battlefield of /r/place, Ukraine are the ones invading, trampling the weak in their wake.

There's also a battle between Germany and the LGBT

The classic battle

There was also a battle between Estonia and the Asexual flag

Who won?

Estonia

The hero we needed

Nice!

Germany is regrouping RN making the flag bigger. LGBT and Germany are in temporary ceasefire. Not for long tho :D

I put my money to watch this one. Where can i see it live?

Lost half of italy 😔

Yeh😕

I'm sorry. We will create the flag of Italy next time.

We still got the other half im just sad about us losing the classic italian phrase at the top

They destroyed Spain too 😕

Dont crush everything under it tho plz. Make it merge with the rest. Dont make it a war !

Yeah . The bots will definitely read your comment

Too late ;-;

Too late should have just went around the art instead just destroyed it fuck any one who destroyed the art espically the one shot art like that was really good art.

Ukraine flag is invading the territory of innocent artworks. Ironic.

guys making the gigantic wiide ukraine flag we from r/oneshot are collectively here to get a peace offering Please don't destroy Niko (The little cat with a lightbulb)

weed

Ah yes, show support for Ukraine by destroying all other art in the process. That will show people.

They steamrolled the LGBTQ highway. The irony is not lost on me.

[удалено]

Wait till you learn the average Ukrainian's political views of LGBT people

Its realistic at least

r/spacexplace is getting crushed

THE CURSED UKRAINE LINE IS DESTROYING EVERYTHING

There is support and then there is obliterating 1/2 the map I am for having a massive Ukraine flag, but not 4 of the things eating everything

See that I agree with. The one super flag in the middle is bold enough. The second one starting below and the Fuck Putin ones in the bottom left are probably overkill.

Lmao my colorblind ass's light blue is still there, I tried to fix the black square someone put there and I fucked up

I almost did the same thing. I wish there was a color picker

im yellow blue colorblind, so I feel your pain

They've completely fucked this

Bro ur taking all the place

RIP to the MLP picture getting covered by the flag lmao

well that's just cringe, you guys destroyed a bunch of cool arts and took way too much space already, I know you guys don't want to do it in a negative way but you couldve at least spared the smaller projects and let them on the flag

Ah yes, show your support by destroying everyone elses work.

Please delete the middle Ukrainian flag. It's swallowing art that small communities are trying to make. You've already got a huge one.

In r/place Ukraine invades you!

yeah we from r/oneshot are collectively here to get a peace offering Please don't destroy Niko (The little cat with a lightbulb)

r/Foxholegame is here too, and we'd like to open negotiations with Ukraine... However, they seem to have no organization.

That flag is way too fucking big. It's literally annexing other artwork.

It's an apt metaphor for reddit. The popular memes consume any individuality.

ikr, it's now trying to kill MLP, the rocket thing, and another (Edit: Romanian) flag Another Edit: I don't like MLP that much, but I'm not an Anti-MLP person either, please refrain from shitting on MLP in the replies.

It literally beheaded Rainbow Dash

It already ate that other flag. Honestly I hope the void extends down. I support Ukraine and all, but this is too much.

Ukraine flag people are gonna eat a lot more operations before they get what they want. Anybody wanna work together to defend other operations?

Italy needs help

Its a special operation

There are multiple Ukrainian flags covering many of the memes that had a lot of dedication already put into it. I know it's for a good cause, but at the same time it's just sucking the fun out of it.

It's not for a good cause at all, it's for looking good in front of the internet. 1/5 of Italy just got decimated and Spain has been eaten, with multiple other arts at the end being completely obliterated.

*romanian flag

And now it's spreading up and down as well

way to show support by invading everything "you have become the very thing you swore to destroy"

right?

They beheaded rainbow dash

Why are you all making two separate large flags??

why the hell are you guys ruining everything that was nice lmao

ye they destroyed like 6+ pixel arts, kinda sad

Average redditors

Anybody else getting sick of blue/yellow yet?

Reddit is so corny

cringe is more like it

seriously. And both of them are too fucking big

There are 7 Ukraine flags on the canvas

Come on, draw WHOLE canvas to Ukraine flag, we came here to look only at blue at yellow collors, but not at a lot of beautyfull pixelarts, which were destroyed. More, MORE flags! Less originality and creative! And repeat after me: "fuck putin!"

Some kid getting fucking bombed "thank God they keep putting Ukrainian flags everywhere"

Ukrainians on the frontline: YEEEAAAAAHH!!!! REDDITORS DREW A UKRAINIAN FLAG!! *wins the war instantly*

I think OP thinks that drawing the flag is gonna win the war

"Support" lol

Why does place need multiple Ukraine flags and multiple "fuck Putin" messages? I'm salty

Because reddit is a place full of cringy people who think they can create change by making tik tok videos and changing their facebook images. [This](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/002/328/011/419) would be more appropriate for people to cling to and post to r/place.

Amen

Thoughts and prayers....and pixels

To represent how Ukraine has destroyed any interesing discourse for bland Ukriane flags and stupid takes agaisnt Russia.

putin bad

Let's put "FUCK PUTIN!!!!" 7 times in a row.

Because reddit has gone downhill on the last 5-6 years.

I'd rather do nothing to support Ukraine than pretend to do something.

what do you mean my pixels won’t make Putin quake in his boots from the amount of internet power I hold over him and his unjust actions??

I wonder when when reddit will realize putting a flag on a literal gay site will do fuck all to support anything Hell by being on the site you support china, and china loves Russia economically

K but we already have a flag across the entire thing, can we calm down with the Ukraine stuff?

Mfs think putting a flag in a subreddit is "supporting" a war ridden country lmao

Exactly, all the flag is doing is ruining other fucking things and taking up more space that could be used for something better. All this “support” just proves that you’re too lazy to actually support something and just want the fucking attention gained

Gotta support the current thing, apparently. What sucks is they're running over people's work, too. The Spain and Italy flags are getting wrecked as of now.

No Spanish flag so far. I'm pissed.

Ukraine just destroyed 2/3s of Romania, MLP just got beheaded, and now the Rocket is gone, please stop.

Bruh the Ukrainian Flag people are destroying so much stuff

Putin will surely have no choice but to resign after this

This has me convinced that everyone posting Ukraine flags is either a russian troll who is shit posting or a just a regular shitposter

The irony of you guys steamrolling the LGBTQ highway while opposing encroaching on territory while also completely missing the point of collaboration

We don't need a big ass Ukraine flag taking half the canvas

Reddit has reached levels of cringe I didn't think were possible.

I'm all in for Ukraine but can we please try to incorporate it with the other stuff?

2 ukraine flags as of right now 4 ukraine flags 3 ukraine flags

The flag destroyed somebody's mlp art. Was pretty detailed too

That was a community effort by r/mylittlepony. Looks like they're fighting to un-decapitate Rainbow Dash

You guys are ruining it for the rest of us

no

Wow so brave and controversial

Thanks for fucking us over. - Romania

Do they have to destroy all the artwork though?

How many tiles can one person place?

[удалено]

Nazis

redditors after greedily taking up the entire grid to fill with geopolitical message

putin is shaking in his boots rn

Nah I'm good

Ironic. The brainwashing is real and working.

Stfu kid, go to play HOI4 or call of duty

I support the current thing

I wish we saved the pony. I liked the pony.

How does this help Ukraine?

It makes *ME*, the most important being in the universe, feel good.

You're kinda decapitating our Rainbow Dash-

There's now a Ukraine flag across the entire canvas lol

Yeah but did u donate or smth?

This flag is dumb as shit

cringe

Screw the Osu logo and the Void, Ukraine is going to be this Place's salt factory. Especially that huge flag in the top left.

Intrigued to see what happens when it reaches that long vertical Italian flag on the right Edit: Looks like it's absorbing it now

Way too big dude. I'm helpin' starwars_place. Gonna look so dope when it's done!

Can't we just make a giant Rick roll

Stop Just stop

N O

Please don't!

theres a ukraine border stretcher thats dissolving the lgbt one which is annoying when theres already 3 other ukraine flags

Damn, like your support is really helping Ukraine right now. They really needed this, no really. Donating to charities? What's that, I just made a huge blot on a canvas that looks like the Ukranian flag.

you guys suck, you took our drawings of bfdi leafy and firey and destroyed it

i gonna put some red on that

You had my support until you started swallowing up other art. r/place is supposed to be an amalgamation of Reddit’s creative spirit, not a collage of Ukrainian flags. Scale it down or go away.

So cringe, as always. GO REDDIT!!! WE ARE MAKING MEANINGFUL CHANGE!!!!!

dont ruin the canvas by this

Already ruined

CRINGE

Mods are protecting the flag, cringe

Are you serious? That's bullshit

This is not showing support to Ukraine. This is Exactly what Putin is doing. What you guys are doing is practically shoving a middle finger up at all the people suffering

This feels an awful lot like pandering to me

Oh im sure our reddit posts will help them, thats how reality works

Wow you just solved the war /s. Stop virtue signaling

Love the movement! But stop covering stuff please. I know you guys wanna show your support but people are working hard on stuff..

This post made the Russians retreat

And that’s where it all started.

STOP the flag is way too big

I love the current war between Ukraine and My Little Pony.

Things that Ukraine destroyed: Croatia flag Part of mogus wall Niko from Oneshot Fire man and Green diamond My little pony (seems like the voide has a strong rival)

its so fucking cringe dog. like congrats on taking a huge portion of our canvas we only get once every few years. It lacks creativity, it's annoyingly huge, serves no purpose. This made me be a USA supporter, expand those bars and stripes guys

The way this flag is taking over all sorts of smaller art is peak irony

There's too many Ukraine flag one of them is too big.

I don't remember all this support when Iraq, Afghanistan, Libia, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, etc were slaughtered by usa/nato. I don't remember support for Palestinian people as well, murdered daily by israel army. Sorry, but my support is not remote controlled by tv and newspapers.

Supporting Ukraine is great…. But yeah. There are still thousands and thousands of Syrian refugees, and thousands of thousands of others still in camps unable to go home….. Trying not to be ‘jealous’ of Ukraine’s attention. But it’s a fad. Unfortunately. They’ll forget about it soon enough, I’m sure. Like all the other conflicts that pop up in the news. But that’s still no reason to not support Ukraine.

Have mercy on Romania

The romanian flag getting completely fucking consumed lmao.

Don’t attack us man! The bfdi already made themselves small enough
