Today's fun fact: Discord's logo is not only a game controller reference, but is also one of their mascot characters, Clyde.

Paraphrased from the E621 explainer on 6/26:
On June 26 2015, the United States Supreme Court, presiding over the landmark case of Obergefell v. Hodges, declared in a 5–4 decision that homosexual couples have the fundamental right to marry per both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, and that any state-level bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional. This tag is for posts where characters celebrate that decision in the form of gay pride.
Stitch from Disney's Lilo & Stitch franchise tends to be popularly affiliated with this date as well, due to his Experiment number (626). Even though he is canonically portrayed in Disney media as heterosexual (most notably his relationship with Experiment 624/Angel), he has become a minor gay rights icon in some circles. The fact that "Stitch Day" or "626 Day" landed on the day of the decision did not go unnoticed by Lilo & Stitch film co-director/co-writer Dean DeBlois, who is openly gay. On the day of the decision, he posted a sketch on his Twitter account of Stitch and Scrump respectively waving a rainbow flag and a flag with the logo of the Human Rights Campaign.

- There is an Anthro or Furryfied version of everything. Yes, even that. And that too. No exceptions.
- Someone, somewhere, thinks you're hot. No exceptions.
- Someone, somewhere, shares your kinks. No exceptions.
- Every part of Furry is a collective responsibility, comrade. (Even this text -- suggestions welcome!)
- Everyone "totally not a Furry" will get good-naturedly mocked by Furries. No exceptions.
- Furry-hate is laundered Queer-hate. Stay vigilant.
- Furries make the Internets go.
- We are literally older than human civilization. We outlasted the Puritans, 4chan, SomethingAwful, CSI, Vanity Fair, and the Burned Furs. We are still here. The Fandom still grows and expands (uwu). We shall endure. We are inevitable. Expect us.

For those unfamiliar with TF2: the pyromaniac class has an unlockable melee weapon called the Neon Annihilator, which gives guaranteed critical hits (3x dmg) against enemies who have "wet" status -- an ironic weapon for a character whose majority of weapons deal fire damage.
As a result, this birthed the impractical but hilarious "PyroShark" playstyle, where Pyros neglect their flamethrowers for this item instead, camp areas with any water at all, and not-so-stealthily await to ambush enemy gamers who get the slightest bit wet.

To boot, a headwear cosmetic item was later added to the game simply called "Pyro Shark":

FYI ICYMI, TF2's official servers have been trolled by mass-aimbot farms for a solid 5 years in a row. Today (June 3rd, 2024) the TF2 community is launching the #FixTF2 campaign, to demand that Valve finally do something about it.
This problem goes far beyond TF2, since these bot hosters have proven willing to commit real-world crimes (swatting, doxxing, death threats, impersonation, hacking, DDOSing, etc.), and are heavily implied be mass-aimbotting Counter Strike servers as well, and who knows how many other multiplayer games. The upcoming Deadlock will surely be next, unless Valve finally employs more reliable anticheat measures.
Visit https://Save.tf to add your own signature (100,000+ signatures so far, all to be physically printed out and hand-delivered to Valve's main office), and to learn other ways you can help.

Google's AOM conflicts of interest aside, the switch makes sense to me. File sizes are still king, for both storage and for Web Vitals -- the latter especially matters on slower cell connections.
