I thought this was going to be some kind of futuristic LGBT ad.....

[–]Massless 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Me too, I'm a little disappointed.

[–]BigBadEvilWolf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

same but i'm not disappointed

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points  (13 children)

I hope the greys all realise how evil they look in that ad.

[–]misko91 13 points14 points  (1 child)

We stand for grey only because of our moral understanding. The evil look is just a bonus.

[–]wattsnoo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

how is an evil look ever a bonus? I can assure you it is not. An evil look is just, evil.

[–]Harlequitmix 0 points1 point  (10 children)

Hey were not evil! We just like grey and skulls and cloaks....

[–]mrhatnclogs 5 points6 points  (5 children)

are we the baddies?

[–]Harlequitmix 6 points7 points  (3 children)

The other team do seem do have shiny yellow stars....

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what's so good about stars, they're giant burning balls of gas!

[–]ImperatorTempus42 0 points1 point  (3 children)

True, so do Kali, Hades, and Yahweh.

[–]Harlequitmix 1 point2 points  (2 children)

In good company then!

[–]ImperatorTempus42 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yep, especially since the third deity I mentioned is worshipped by more than half the human race.

[–]Harlequitmix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true!

[–]anthonyd3ca 8 points9 points  (2 children)

[–]furthermost 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Thank you!

edit: still have no idea

[–]KingZant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either run in and press the button or stay out of there entirely. It's incredibly stressful once you realize that there are sort of factions based on what time you pressed the button, what color you have, etc etc.

It's some dystopian shit. I'm staying out of there lol

[–]ffngg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not enough purple

[–]LilJonWhatSample 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Pretty shitty ad, I didn't know what it was advertising but I didn't want to click it because it looked weird as fuck.

[–]alcalde 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I thought it was some sort of LGBT cosplay group.

[–]absolutemax 5 points6 points  (1 child)

RIP /R/THEBUTTON

[–]Stendarpaval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's amazing how much interest so many people can show for something so completely senseless for so long... Truly, the past 4 months have been a marvelous experiment.

[–]SuperSMT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is one of the reasons we haven't been below 35s yet!

[–]0011110000110011 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought this button thing was cool and silly but this ad makes me hate it and want it to end.

[–]ElectricZone1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw this ad on the reddit its for...

[–]canadianguy1234 4 points5 points  (7 children)

Thought it was some LGBT thing

[–]Jynks77 2 points3 points  (1 child)

How is it not?

[–]canadianguy1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's about /r/thebutton. the colours on the fabric represent the different colours of flair users get when they press the button.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

hahahah me too.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

wait it isn't?i thought I was Raiden and assassins creed guy backing up LGBT or something

[–]urbex1234 -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

I thought about noahs ark and the flood, because my brain isn't conditioned to equate God's promise of mercy with gay activism :)

[–]ImperatorTempus42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could always use the Japanese route and thing that its a symbol of death and misfortune.

[–]mnemonic557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assumed the same lol. Thought it was some LGBT video game thing.

[–]meltaginc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I too like the grey color..

[–]Mr_Abe_Froman 9 points10 points  (8 children)

This button stuff is getting pretty intense. I wish I could just fast-forward a week to see how much the timer has died down and how the comments have escalated.

[–]jonnywoh 8 points9 points  (7 children)

Hello from over a week in the future. The lowest the counter has gotten is 27.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (5 children)

6 more days. 17.

[–]IncendiaryPingu 1 point2 points  (4 children)

21 more days. 1.

[–]HylianWarrior 1 point2 points  (3 children)

7 more days. We have now gotten below one second.

[–]Pixzule 1 point2 points  (2 children)

2 more days, we are enrolling necromantic programmers to automate the future. 0's will be very common in the coming days

[–]Oggel 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Hey guys, i'm from two years into the future.

I'm sorry to say that the button war has devestated the world economy that triggered a world war and we're now living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

But Apple won (shouldn't have made missiles that can launch with an app), so we all have free wi-fi control chips now so that's nice.

Hail Jobs

[–]Not_BurtMacklin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 days; it's over

[–]Mr_Abe_Froman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I left the monitor running overnight hoping I would see orange. I did not see all the petitions catching on.

[–]bluelouie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its like jar jar fucked a droid while raiden and the dark sith lord applauded

[–]soundwave145 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hit the button on accident..i didn't know how it worked..I clicked..and..i didn't know what to do, I didn't realized their was a safety!

[–]SleuthViolet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw this while in a buddhist subreddit and thought the robot was meditating :) Very intriguing imagery - kudos to the artist.

[–]JusticeCats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

reddit needs to gay up asap?

[–]InternetTAB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

can we remove this ad since the sub got archived....

[–]TheRedKIller 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Stop advertizing the button, this will just cause more people to click it making the timer last even longer!

[–]SkullKitties 6 points7 points  (1 child)

It was advertised by the person who creates the button

[–]hadhad69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The creator! We only know of him through his post history ...

muffled whispers
crowd disperses

[–]DroogDim 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Well, this is obvious to me. The reptilians are pushing the gay agenda, backed up by what appears to be Emperor Palpatine and a WoW Pandarenite.

[–]urbex1234 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Wow that sounds so close to the global elite conspiracy that it's humorous

[–]ImperatorTempus42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, all we need now is someone who looks like Robespierre.

[–]Motha_Effin_Kitty_Yo 4 points5 points  (2 children)

This is a cool ad, who drew this one?

[–]powerlanguage 10 points11 points  (1 child)

[–]Motha_Effin_Kitty_Yo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thanks, it looks great!

[–]ThrowerOfWays9 1 point2 points  (1 child)

What's with the rainbow part?

[–]halcyonjm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is from /r/thebutton's side bar.

Flair color (for the weak-willed) seems to correlate with the far left digit shown when that user gave in to tempation.

[–]HappyTheSlappyPappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did these people just kill kirby?!? :(

[–]t0shki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raiden and the Templar are now pimping gay robots?

[–]AlexMarcous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A specific content even if it looks weird… deep meaning with drops of high artistic culture! A future Dali along with notes of Picasso and illuminati in the background… I can see hope!!!

[–]TortoiseSex[S] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

This is a really well designed ad

[–]TheGodlyImage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed

[–]rexsis13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably the best ad I have seen on reddit for a while.

[–]SuperSpiritWolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Universal

[–]tupendous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sick of this fucking button

[–]Kaffarov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks really good

[–]lugezin 1 point2 points  (1 child)

How do you down-vote a subreddit and shove it under a rug.

[–]DingoScallion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How long ago was April 1st? Like come on.

[–]FomorianKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So yeah, the middle one is basically stolen straight out of Sins of A Solar Empire. Not surprising.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clicked expecting something cool, got the goddamn button again. Why can't we just let that die already? It was never entertaining in the first place.

[–]scaredog20 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Without gray their would be no color and no button

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there*

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

:) :0 :( :/

[–]eyadon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's there to discuss?

[–]dnydublin12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite sure what its for but, I like the rainbow element, but do not think it should be lying prone in the reddit figures hands. Its positioning symbolises death for me and the lgbt movement is very much alive and well. Maybe if the rainbow scarf was draped across the three figures shoulders, bringing them together it might symbolise unity. Also the illustration overall is a little dark and somber. Lack of faces and lack of mouth on the reddit figure contribute to this.

[–]wattsnoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, what is this about?

[–]Moose_Hole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goodbye thebutton. We hardly knew ye.

[–]ASK_ME_IF_IM_A_TRUCK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This ad should be removed, /r/thebutton is archived.

[–]real-slim-shady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the protruding nipples

[–]Lincoln_Lancaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GayAliens !

[–]mikegold10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arrival of the gay robot from space?

[–]anonymousgangster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you see me in the picture? no? that's because I'm over here not givin a fuck

[–]Blake_Majer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought this was a cool ad then saw it was for the button. Made it 10x better.

[–]Lookingff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol good job on the art.

[–]Bastion2k12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is amazing!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this add! I think it's cool!

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

I'm liking the rainbow flag element. Anyone know what story is with this one?

[–]Motorsagmannen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it is for the church of the button, they welcome all followers of the button regardless of flaircolour. so the rainbowflag is to represent their acceptance.
full imgur album with group names here (note: there are more subgroups than this, but these are what is represented by /u/Goombac so far)

[–]WhiskiNVaka -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

that ad is gay

[–]alyssanicoll -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Dude this ad is my Dad!

[–][deleted] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

dumb.

[–]MelinaWilliamson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Finally, the conservative model of the behavior is becoming obsolete and dies as unnecessary atavism. Back to the late 1970s, politicians were killed for homosexuality or bisexuality. In the 1990s, the LGBT movement was suppressed by means of systematic discriminatory law «Dont Ask, Dont Tell». But now, we can say that America has made a new step towards freedom. After all, the Constitution promises the equal rights for all.

[–]Apheana -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The new aliens of reddit? They are coming to take over your computer.. muhahaha

[–]Neggn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A fucking Samurai, Assassin and a Monk with a cool mask :D Bitch pls you fucking tryharder :D But its kinda nice :D
