Straight men calling minorities "snowflakes" or "fragile" yet getting really offended by things like an optional rainbow watch face is the greatest irony.

Afternoon of June 4.
Oh my gosh, that is so awful haha. No wonder Apple doesn’t allow third party watch faces.
Is it important that the Apple Watch recognises you? I personally dont care what watch face is on my watch, because i customize it how i want. So i’m curious to see why someone else might consider a default watch face as an important addition to gender identification/recognition/acceptance.
To better understand, is a rainbow coloured Microwave better than a white one?
If microwaves were wearable accessories, then yes. Do you wear flannel? Denim? Cotton? OH MY GOD WHY WOULD YOU WEAR THAT? WHY IS IT SO NECESSARY? Because people like it. Is that such a big frickin' deal? Jesus Christ on a stick.

He didn't miss anything. You made a completely stupid post and he pointed out why it was stupid. Your post was not complex.

"One incident". I can't even with you people.
Honestly I tend to believe that mostly Jony Ive is the blocking point here. I get the impression that individual 3rd party watch faces destroy his industrial design philosophy as he still considers the Apple Watch to be more a kind of fashion accessory.

I’ve never heard or seen any lunatics protesting or demanding anything about that.
I guess this watch face will get very limited traction. People who aren't homosexual won't probably wear it not to be misidentified as homosexual. People who are homosexual will probably wear it for some time, granted they like it.
Now here's the idea - how about making some universally fun and beautiful watch faces that would be useful to everyone? Or even better, third party watch face support so we can have unlimited watch faces for any occasion?
I'm from eastern Europe and nor me or my friends are homophobic. Maybe in the west you guys have some real issues with sex prefrence acceptance but to the outside world it looks funny or even childish (we watch and read mostly western media which in no way match our social issues).
It'd be great if humanity finally stopped to care who's having what inside his panties and what organ doesn he/she prefer to fondle with.

Love it!!! Looks amazing with my Pride band.
Hehe...I see what they did there...

You've got colors inverted (or band) - red should be on the right and purple on the left.
Yeah the band is on the wrong way because I like the part where it tucks in to face inward.
Doesn’t bother me that it’s a pride watch face. What bothers me is that there are so few watch faces to choose from and this may be the only one being added!
We want full customization. I would love to see a full interface for building watch faces. Resize dials, add complications anywhere, adjust size of complications, etc.
Or just give us a WatchFaceKit API damn it!

As much as that would be very cool, I’m not sure it makes financial sense for Apple to create. You guys need to multiply your numbers first

I hope they make a special Pride edition rainbow iPhone with a special version of Siri that sounds like a very bitchy pissed off gay guy.

Can't even what? Form an argument? The incident happened over a thousand miles away from you, it doesn't affect you in the slightest.
Straight men and women get stabbed, mugged, murdered all the time. We still manage to walk down the street.
Exactly. The entirety of Apple, Inc. can do exactly one thing at a time. Right now the world’s most valuable multinational corporation is a watch face company.
Rainbow enough.
Maybe you should hold off until you learn what “gay” means.
You obviously don’t respect it or you would have phrased it with a bit more care. “Can’t decide my gender” is offensive and ignorant.
im offended my favourite colour of the rainbow isnt included on the watch face. Do i have a case?
If there's hundreds of years of history of people being murdered because it's their favourite color, then yes.

Is there??
Did you double quote me then quote yourself and reply to yourself? Im confused
Nah I just ****ed up my quoting while not paying attention, great answer though.
At the risk of actually writing something logical, let me remind everyone that it is possible to question Apple's direction regarding frivolous watch-faces and the like, without being at all against what the watch faces/bands/what-have-you represent. In other words, my dear friends, those of us questioning what the big hullabaloo is about a rainbow watch face would be doing the same (at least I would) for elephants, donkeys or pokémon watch faces. We're also the same crowd lamenting the mothballing of the Airport lineup and the hilarious misstep with the 2013 Mac "Pro."
Sure, there are some gay-bashing jerks around here, same as there are some gay people who are jerks. Being gay or not being gay says nothing about one's personality or capacity to be a decent or a reprehensible human being. Let's all be cool.
The watch faces are already classless abortions that need to go into the trash bin for crimes against graphic design. Adding more candy vomit isn’t going to improve appeal. It also trivialises the issue, gay rights and acceptance has zero to do with a watch face and solves ZERO actual problems! Sure add it Apple but please also include some proper designs that don’t hurt the senses.
Maybe someday, adults will be mature enough and won’t shove into other people’s faces their sexual preferences. Nobody gives an f**** what you do on your bed and in your private life. What’s all this pride thing exactly for? I don’t see straight people shouting “Pride for straight people”, nor making straight male parades or whatever.
And about the physical attacks that happen to some gays, I don’t think the pride parades and other types of promotion of homosexuality accomplish anything positive really to protect these individuals.
Our society gets violent for a lot of reasons unfortunately. Everything has to start with the education at home and school and learn to respect one another but at the same time I don’t think there is any reason to promote across all media a sexual preference that is found only in a very tiny percentage of the population.
[doublepost=1527684099][/doublepost]
I don’t think that by shouting “Pride” and doing parades with naked males is the solution to the violence against gay people.
If a person feels like he wants to attack a gay person he will do it no matter how many pride watch bands Tim releases.
