The rainbow flag or pride flag is a symbol of LGBT pride and LGBT social movements. The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community and the spectrum of human sexuality and gender. Using a rainbow flag as a symbol of LGBT pride began in San Francisco, California, but eventually became common at LGBT rights events worldwide.

Originally devised by the artists Gilbert Baker, Lynn Segerblom, James McNamara and other activists, the design underwent several revisions after its debut in 1978, and continues to inspire variations. Although Baker's original rainbow flag had eight colors, from 1979 to the present day the most common variant consists of six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is typically displayed horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.

LGBT people and allies currently use rainbow flags and many rainbow-themed items and color schemes as an outward symbol of their identity or support. There are derivations of the rainbow flag that are used to focus attention on specific causes or groups within the community (e.g. transgender people, fighting the AIDS epidemic, inclusion of LGBT people of color). In addition to the rainbow, many other flags and symbols are used to communicate specific identities within the LGBT community.

i went into a dive on the crash bandicoot wiki to up my bandicoot knowledge and I read about how Crash had a waifu in the first game, Tawna Bandicoot, who was a sexed up Jessica Rabbit looking character, and I read that she was removed from future games because of Sony having issues with her appearance and characterization

so I was like oh huh okay cool I guess Sony took issue with her being a vapid big booba prop for Crash and-

NOPE the problem was that she "looked too old" for Japanese playtesters with one quoted as saying "who's this middle aged woman"

Okay but did you see the alternate universe version of her from Crash 4? Very butch-coded.

Now lets get the two of them in their own game where they have a buddy comedy shtick.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I see exactly what you mean. If you brought her back down to Earth she could have been a fun addition. Though down to Earth isn't really Crash's style so these modern images I'm seeing if her do some justice in recharacterizing her.
