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”.
- Secede!
Tit semper tyrannis
Wait until they find out the grizzly on California’s flag is completely naked.
Seriously?
- 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
- It’s also ironic and hypocritical, given the USA is the biggest porn industry in the world.
  
  It is what the Bible belt is known for
Tbf, Virginia has an absolutely terrible flag. State seal on a blue back drop?
Come on.
- and way too few breasts
- that would be most US states
Congratulations. This is oniony.
As someone that subscribes to the fundamental tenants of vexillography, I have a bigger issue with Virginia's state flag overall design. It is bad practice to use a state seal in a flag design. It is worse practice to also include text in a flag's design. -Imagine if you shrank that flag down to 2"x3" do you think you'd still be able to read that? Flags are supposed to be read from a distance.
-My solution is to keep the boob, and get rid of everything else except the blue and white background. It would be distinctive and it would still retain it's same symbolism.
- vexillography is just prescriptivism for rectangles
- Flag's
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?
- No, because the Texas schools don't know what those are.
The boob that launched a thousand forum threads.
Virginia is the worst state anyways.
- It has booba on its flag. Your statement has been invalidated.
- Umm, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas… all are much, MUCH worse than Virginia.
- Never been to Nebraska?
  
  Delaware is basically America's tax haven. It's tiny, useless, and corrupt.
  I vote Delaware sucks the most.
  
  I caught crabs in Nebraska.
- Care to elaborate?
  
  It insists upon itself.
