That show hasn't been made for over 15 years. It's out of date. I am fully aware of the history of the circle game, it's an experience I lived through. But things change, it's unreasonable to expect the world to stay exactly the same as it was when you were a child.

There's the way the world should be, and there's the way the world is. Yeah, it should work the way you want it to, but it doesn't. Believe it or not, if one of the first impressions people have about you is the possibility that you're a white supremacist, it's going to negatively impact your life.

It's why I don't fly the Canadian flag anymore. Because ignorant assholes have turned it into a symbol of ignorance, so if I fly it, that will be people's first thought. Sure, if they talked to me and got to know me they would see that I'm not an ignorant asshole, but far more people are going to see the flag than actually get to know me.

Yeah, unfortunately probably time to stop playing this game since that symbol has been cooped by white supremacists. At the very least it brings to mind the possibility that the guy put it there as a dog whistle.
