What does the rainbow react actually mean?

 

[Ocha905]

And someone has stolen my artist.

Great start.

I'll now billy them out of spite.

Hopefully it was an artist we've both nommed before.

 

[Ocha905]

What does the rainbow react actually mean?

I interpret it as "My feelings are complicated but I acknowledge your POV" (unless you're Fossie 32 who's a rainbow enthusiast).

 

[Fossie 32]

What does the rainbow react actually mean?

I would go with option 2 >>​

ChatGPT said:​

Good question I would go with option 2
On message boards and forums, the rainbow emoji (or old-style text rainbow emoticon) can mean a few different things depending on the community and context:

1. LGBTQ+ identity or support
   – Most commonly today, the rainbow is shorthand for Pride and LGBTQ+ community, or for showing solidarity/allyship.
2. Hope, positivity, good vibes
   – In more general or older internet use, it could just mean “bright, happy, colorful, cheerful”.
3. Spiritual / symbolic use
   – In some groups (especially religious or spiritual forums), a rainbow can symbolize God’s promise, new beginnings, or peace.
4. Inside jokes / board-specific culture
   – Sometimes a rainbow icon is used as a light-hearted flourish, or even sarcastically (“yeah, everything’s rainbows and unicorns”).

B. Alvin & the Chipmunks - Bad Day Chipmunk hate the Chipmunks aside them weirdly having a John Waters cameo in one of their movies where they mention Pink Flamingos(!!???!), hate the song (aside the very funny YouTube channel that adds the song to the ending of movies, such as Bicycle Thieves and has caught out teachers trying to show their class a clip from the movie. Spoilers for those who’ve not seen the movie on that clip, btw, but also - see the movie! It’s on Prime and one of the greatest movies of all time!!)

Did you go back-to-back by purposefully choosing a theme you knew would have minimal votes, therefore increasing your odds? Cheeky. Very, very cheeky.

No, I sat on that theme for years but I win so infrequently that I never had the chance to do it until now

That said, the increased odds/guaranteed top 10 was certainly a bonus

Even if it hadn't been nommed before, it would be unfair for Slice Of Heaven to be in this one - would've been an instant winner.

 

[Stokey]

I have now.

It's pronounced 'hiv'
