    It would be quite amusing if an actual Ukrainian unit painted “They/Them” on the barrel of an Abrams just to troll the Russians. That they got obliterated by an official They/Them tank of the West.

    Maybe the Russian tank should have identified as an attack helicopter.

    I’ve started putting pronouns on everything, ever since I realized that brittle people would talk to me less after I do.

    But, I still think the second photo might be photoshopped.

    So if it is Photoshop, I think the soldiers should consider actually painting pronouns on their tank. Sure, they’re probably focused on their life safety right now. But a quick pronoun paint job could save them from an insufferable conversation.

        Our they/them tanks can’t be penetrated because they’re all tops. Russian tanks are all bottoms.

        Similarly, Russian ships and submarines are all bottoms… bottom of the ocean, that is.

        Oh. I didn’t realize the first tank had pride flags and was for a pride parade. My bad. I just worked a 14 hour night shift, give a guy a break lol

      The thing is, a pink submarine, the USS Sea Tiger was a plot point in Operation Petticoat (1953, borrowing heavily from actual WWII US Navy antics), due to primer being pink, and the Sea Tiger was deployed in a hurry so there wasn’t enough time to paint it.

      So to get a pink tank, you can just paint it with pink primer, or choose to paint it a non-regular color (e.g. dayglow pink) for parade purposes. Or to haze the brass, if you dare.

      If it needs to be deployed early, it’ll still shoot straight and punch holes in the enemy real good.

    Hmmm.

    I think cameo might actually not matter in tank vs tank combat because of thermal vision, but actually in tank vs infantry because you might easily be spotted by a guy with an anti-tank missile.
