In this thread, I will teach anons how to embed secret messages into Gay Pride Flags. If you're interested in learning about steganography (the practice of hiding a secret message in plain view), get in here! If you're tired of the 24/7 promotion of LGBTQ+XYZ lifestyles and want to push back with humor and irony, get in here!
"Operation Steganography Flag" will teach you how to co-opt the very symbol of the gay pride movement - their rainbow-colored flag - and use it for your own nefarious purposes.
Pic related is one example of this. On the surface, it looks like a Gay Pride Flag. But look deeper into the HEX color values embedded in the flag. For each color in the flag, simply discard any "00" or "FF" values, and whatever remains is the HEX code for a letter, number or symbol in your secret message.
On May 27, 2022, someone suggested: "It would be a good idea to create a [steganographic] ‘pride flag’ generator so [we] can communicate covert messages…on places like twitter…" He mentioned that something like this had already been done over a decade ago with "The Free Speech Flag". archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/379868393/#379875775
The creator of "The Free Speech Flag" in pic related combined HEX values from a cryptographic key (a so-called "illegal number") into HEX color codes to make a colored flag. Computer-savvy users in possession of the flag could reverse engineer the HEX color codes to obtain the cryptographic key; with this key, they could (illegally) copy HD DVDs and Blu-ray Discs.
After reading about this project, I wondered whether I could do something similar within the color constraints of the LGBTQ+ Gay Pride Flag. More than anything, I wanted a system that was easy for normies to grok (without any of the computer science complexities that are part of many steganographic approaches to embedding secret messages in images).
I studied the HEX color codes in the baseline Gay Pride Flag and saw that several color bars contained the HEX codes "00" and/or "FF" as shown in pic related. If I could come up with a simple mechanism for expressing the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue and indigo in which each color bar used exactly two combinations of "00" and/or "FF", then it would be trivially easy to reserve the third HEX value in the color bar for a secret letter, number or symbol.
After some experimentation, I came up with a workable solution. Using this system, anons need only do the following to decode the secret character in a color bar:
> 1. Get the 6-digit HEX color code for a given color bar > 2. Strip off / discard any pairs of codes that are either "00" or "FF" > 3. Whatever remains is the HEX value for the secret character > 4. Look up the HEX value in a character table > 5. Rinse & repeat for all the other color bars in the flag
Pic related shows the basic system I've developed for rendering a facsimile Gay Pride Flag in which each color bar has a reserved spot for a single secret character (in this example, for the secret letter 'X' which is equivalent to the HEX code '58').
The unique HEX color code pattern for each of the core and alternate Gay Pride Flag colors is shown adjacent to each bar. There are 12 unique patterns. The two dots in the pattern are placeholders for the HEX code you can use for your secret letter, number or symbol.
The example below is for the color red.
> |FF00..| => To embed the capital letter 'X', replace the 2 dots '..' with HEX value [58]
Note that there are three distinct groups of colors that emerged from my experiments: > 1. Core colors that roughly correspond to the six colors in the baseline Gay Pride Flag > 2. Two alternate colors for green, and one each for light blue and magenta that can be used on an as-needed basis (more details to follow) > 3. Two unused colors for dark red and dark blue; these colors are too dark to be used on a Gay Pride Flag
Anecdote: The secret letter 'X' in the previous infographic is an oblique reference to Edgar Allen Poe's short story "X-ing a Paragrab" en.wikisource.org/wiki/X-ing_a_Paragrab
Below is a short summary for anons who are not programmers.
> HEX color codes use hexadecimal values to describe the red, green, and blue (or RGB) components of a color > HEX codes can represent decimal values in the range of 0 to 255 > Since each color component can have one of 256 different values, there are a total of 256 x 256 x 256 (or 16.7 million) colors available > The smallest HEX value is "00" - for colors, this represents the absence of a color component > The largest HEX value is "FF" - for colors, this represents a fully saturated color component > HEX color code values on websites always begin with the "#" pound (or hash) character > The HEX color code for: > - pure black is: #000000 - black means there are NO colors in any channel > - pure white is: #FFFFFF - white means ALL color channels are fully saturated > - pure red is: #FF0000 > - pure neon green is: #00FF00 > - pure blue is: #0000FF
The following website lets you play around with different HEX color values - just change the six digits at the end of the URL. encycolorpedia.com/00ff00
Pic related shows the HEX codes for the letters A-Z and a-z, the numbers 0-9, as well as a variety of special characters (like punctuation symbols) you might want to use in your own flag. There are also two special characters that anons can use: the 'SPACE' [20] character to add a space between words; and the 'DEL' key [7F] to pad out short words.
Wouldn't it simply be easier to publicly venerate trans who've killed themselves, adding one final 'cool' path for them to take on their journey of self-discovery? It would be almost indistinguishable from lefty dogma as it is.
Special Note: Words Shorter than 6 Characters, and Using Spaces in Messages
To embed a word or message that is less than 6 characters, you need to pad out your message with placeholder values at the end of the word or phrase. Pic related is an example of this. The secret word embedded in the flag is "Pedos" which is a 5-character word. To account for the 6th color bar in the flag, the HEX value for the 'DEL' key [7F] has been used to render the indigo-colored bar (#7F00FF).
Similarly, to embed a space character in your message, you can use the HEX value [20] for this purpose.
Be sure to experiment with both the [7F] and the [20] HEX codes to see which value gives you the best color match. However, when decoding these values, simply replace these HEX codes with a space (for 20) or with nothing (for 7F).
If that's something you want to take up, go for it, fren. In the meanime, I'll keep making spoofed and fake versions of Gay Pride Flags peppered with secret 6- and 7-letter words.

>see we can now code messages in flags, now wear the pride flag goy No
Jason Myers
These flags really only work on the interwebs where you can use a paint tool to extract the EXACT HEX color code sequence. This operation would never translate to something you can literally "wear". But, if you have a sock puppet account on twatter, you can certainly use it to send out 'compromised' versions of the gay pride flag

Special Note: Words Longer than 6 Characters
To create secret messages longer than 6 characters, you need to add a color bar at the end of the flag for each extra character. In pic related, I have used the magenta bar (#FF..FF) for the 7th character, but there are other alternate colors available (including 2 different shades of green and a light shade of blue). Experiment to see which ones work best for your secret message.
Keep in mind that if you add additional color bars to your fake Gay Pride Flag, it will be easier for SJWs to identify your flag as a fake.
Anons wishing to generate their own Steganographic LBGTQ+ Flags can use the following HTML code as a template. Pic related is a snapshot of an HTML template for generating a "Pedos" Flag (padded out with a 'DEL' [F7] key at the end). Type in the code from pic related, then save the file as 'steg-flag-template-1.htm'
The CSS selectors in this HTML file support 6-bar & 7-bar flags, with additional support for a 2:3 aspect ratio (this is the default) and a 1:2 aspect ratio. To create a 7-bar flag, replace the CSS class 'bars6' with 'bars7'
The next five example flags all contain loaded trigger words that have become bloated with meaning due to deliberate overuse and hyperbole. For more than 6 years, the public has been told "Trump is literally Hitler!", "Trump is worse than Hitler!", "All Trump supporters are Nazis!" and white people are inherently racists. The public has also been told that while it's OK for black people – especially black rappers and entertainers – to constantly refer to themselves as 'niggers', it is NOT OK for white people to use this language.
I reject this faulty line of reasoning and doublespeak and have therefore chosen to feature these five trigger words as secret messages in "Operation Steganography Flag". For 6 years, I have had to listen to Libtards, SJWs, and BLM thugs calling me (or people like me) a fascist, a Nazi, and a racist. It's about time that I return the favor by using their own words against them, secretly hidden inside their precious flag.
Sometimes, when assembling a spoofed flag, one or more color bars will either be too dark or too light to look believable. If this happens, consider swapping in one of the alternate colors or even substituting, say, magenta for the indigo bar. There are also two alternate flavors of lime green that you could substitute for the dark green bar. However, as already noted, if you use non-standard color bars in your Gay Pride Flag, it will be easier for SJWs to identify your flag as a spoof.
A simple workaround for some flags is to replace uppercase letters with lowercase ones (or vice versa). For example, the abbreviation "NAMbLA" (the infamous North American Man-boy Love Association) actually renders better when spelled as "nambla".
