This is amazing, Alvaro!! I so appreciate the attention you put into researching and sharing the history of each of these flags, and the wide variety you've represented in your final CodePen here — not to mention all the hard CSS work!!

I don't know if it can be considered "mass reporting and deletion" when it's only 3 comments reported/deleted (from what I can see):

  • One was an insult (someone got so offended by the article that their reaction was a simple "F U").
  • Another one is suggesting adding a flag that is considered hateful and used by nazi groups.
  • Another is in the line of "why? they are not worth this, we should do something else!"

If they are out of ignorance or just to troll, it doesn't matter. They seem properly moderated in my opinion.

I stand corrected. It seems that this article is bringing too much negative attention. It is sad, but I'll be locking the comments.
