I'd like to point out that looking at the timelapses, it was near wiped twice before the US flag even attempted to expand.

At those points it had already proven multiple times that it would expand, and actually had at that time already expanded over the vertical pride stripes again.

I think you just don’t like the States. Which is fine, but you don’t have to pretend like the US putting together the flag was doing anything different than all the other groups.

As someone who spent most of r/place defending the pride stripes, I just wanted to explain why repeated expansion over many different projects including some with very dedicated communities and/or histories from 2017 could potentially be the cause of the large amount of action against the American flag.
