Da Trifecta

Imagine getting triggered by a discord logo lol

This is a really awkward hill to die on tbh, L take imo don't get triggered by colors next time 🥴

When you open Discord, and you want to visit the VHL server,  the very first thing you see is the rainbow-colored logo. It is there day after day, week after week, month after month. The gesture and decision to use a Pride-themed logo reminds me of buying a gift for someone. A good and meaningful gift would be something that has a little bit of you in it,  the gift could be almost anything. If you give just money or some latest electronic device, it's almost as if you gave no gift at all, you avoided giving something of yourself by giving money or some electronic thing.

When I see the Pride-themed logo I see the same thing. Using the Pride-themed logo is like giving money or some electronic device as a gift, you gave a "gift" because you were supposed to do so, but no real thought was put into it.  You did not put yourself on the line. Much like using the Pride-theme logo: it is there to be there.

Some people, somewhere, some time ago, decided that using the Pride-themed logo all year long is the way to go.  A little bit like my neighbors who have the Pride flag hanging on their balcony. The flag is there every time I walk by the building, rain or shine. It has been there for months. As I walk by,  I often wonder do they leave the flag on the balcony to support the community, or as a joke to mock the community. On one hand, you would think something like that is obviously meant as a gesture of support, but then again it's so easy to throw the flag out there that the gesture becomes almost meaningless, like giving money as a gift.  

In my opinion, the Pride-themed logo in Discord harms the league, for example the recruiting efforts are negatively affected. Most people of today are so used to different marketing tactics that they see through the Pride-themed logo in Discord. They see it and think to themselves: "Great, one of these places - copy of many others". They see the logo and think VHL is a place that is not doing well. The Pride-themed logo in Discord reeks of desperation. VHL does not want to be the odd one out. VHL does not want to give a meaningful gift in fear that the gift receiver is not going to like the gift, VHL does not want to give even a little bit of itself for the fear of being made fun of because of the gift. So instead VHL gives a shallow gift, VHL uses a Pride-theme logo in Discord.
 
What could VHL do to give even a little bit of itself? VHL could stop trying so hard to appear something they are not, and more importantly - something they can't be. VHL as a league should get back to basics of showing pride for the league itself. VHL should stop trying to save the world. It is crazy to think VHL as a league or people on the internet can truly care beyond the normal level for the well-being or representation of the people that roam around here. Nobody truly cares - how much more equal and level the playing field gets from that?

@VHLM GM

Stockholm and Vasteras surviving despite not having good roster is top tier shithousery

I know I'm late, but I just wanted to drop by to say "Fuck Vasteras." #BringBackGothenburg #SwedishHockeyEague

I recently told the VHL that I wanted the job of Chicago GM or I would quit the league. I did not get it.
To whoever run the hiring process, you will curse the day you did not do all that I asked of you.
Please VHL promise me one thing, all I ask of you is think of me sometimes.
