Because nothing gets 13 year olds hornier than the State Seal of Virginia. Idiots.

What did you expect, it literally has Virgin in the name (!)

Even if, come on... 13 year olds get horny full stop. Whatcha gonna do next, separate boys and girls again? Make all females wear sacks?

Don't give them ideas. I wouldn't be surprised if they promoted gender segregation as some form of “protection against the ~~gay~~ trans threat”.

It’s just going to be the ol’ ‘women aren’t allowed to go to school’ schtick again.

Leaving all the girls together and boys together through puberty is all but certain of getting rid of the gays, truthfully pure genius muahahaha twirls moustache.

It is impossible. US states have the same level of independence as SU republics. Some regions already tried it 150 years ago. It didn't end well.

Wait until they find out the grizzly on California’s flag is completely naked.

Maybe it's not really about the nipple but about what it says: thus always unto tyrants.

Religious oppression stifles education.

when you're too conservative for 1912 Virginia

The dumbfucks in the Deregulated Texas Oblast would lose their shit over Marianne, the French Goddess of Liberty.

Its just a tiddy. Not even a real one. This is so stupid

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s also ironic and hypocritical, given the USA is the biggest porn industry in the world.

Tbf, Virginia has an absolutely terrible flag. State seal on a blue back drop?

Come on.

[–] celeste@kbin.earth 13 points 1 week ago

and way too few breasts

[–] scheep@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

that would be most US states

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago

Congratulations. This is oniony.

This timeline really gets dumber and dumber by the minute...

Wouldn't this also affect things about the British Monarchy and Ireland due to the Winged Maiden?

[–] Khanzarate@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

No, because the Texas schools don't know what those are.
