The creepy part is that everyone in there is an actor and pretending to have fun. Kinda like what they did on Vice with the simulated Internet cafe— Mia Nyx 🇺🇦🇹🇼🏳️⚧️ (@fiendishMia) August 12, 2022
I don't think putting a flag on something is stanning it. It's the barest form of purely aesthetic support, akin to putting a french flag overlay on your FB profile picture after Charlie Hebdo. I doubt most of these people are even aware of the Nazis infestation since the media is doing backflips to avoid that, and nobody except terminally online nerds are going to pore over war photos to find the black sun patch on a soldier.
And there's probably a bigger problem with this place filtering for only the worst possible takes and then concluding that everyone with a Ukraine flag emoji has six brain cells or is a Markov chain of bad ideas. It's not a thin blue line flag with its obvious and overt meaning. It's slacktivist support for the only side of the war that's been reported on in a positive light.

I agree with your point, but its not like the media is trying that hard to hide this, its more the general public is ignorant of the symbols. For instance, multiple mainstream publications ( AP, VOA and so on) ran stories featuring heroic photos of wolfsangel coffins
Nearly every time I saw a Ukrainian flag account, even excluding the ones posted here, they were saying the dumbest bullshit. I think I have seen exactly one that wasn't.
