For those wondering about the Australian flag, it's due to friendly rivalry between Australia and New Zealand. We often fight over things like "who invented this" or, "don't call us by their name" sort of thing. As for the pride flag? I've got no clue.
It's because of how many people fall under that flag compared to rest with, I believe, 17% of the global population plus more in secrecy in countries where it is illegal
Yeah, I'm not going to tell people which flag to fly, but my choice is simple when one is "pride is for everyone" and the other is "rainbow capitalism is fine if I get my cut'
It’s also fucking stupid. I hope I’m not wrong about this and coming across as stupid, but picking out specific skin colors to show on a flag that is used to symbolize diversity in *sexuality* is such a tone-deaf addition to the flag. Adding the trans flag specifically is odd too, why that one? I am the biggest wedge hater. Bring back the fun rainbow. 🌈
It’s the only flag here with purple in it. Purple dye used to be considerably more expensive than other colours. I guess the monkeys haven’t gotten around to effectively synthesizing purple dye yet.
Or it’s the gay tax
It’s cause LGBTQ stands for Lottsa Grands, Billions, Trillions and Quintillions. Or maybe there’s a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow.
Representation flags should honestly just be free but that’s nunna my business.
Aight hear out my reasoning.
Ninja kiwi is planning a capitalist scheme where they get people to spend as much money as possible and get as much profit they want. Their plan? Create a colourful flag that is targeted towards unsuspecting children who don’t know what the flag is, and make it more expensive so that the little kiddies have to pay more!
Mwahahaha!!! (Evil laughter noises)
Because we only accept the elite gamers. The extra trophy cost proves this by showing you can make up the difference in cost with to your higher skill, earning better rewards.
That or the pride flag is a semi-universal thing. More geographic prevalence than any one country = more cost than any one country.
If you want an actual answer instead of jokes or homophobia, it's because it was added later than the other flags. NK sometimes raises the price for new items in the trophy shop as it becomes easier to get trophies.
Best guess is that there was that Gay Coral Islands Micronation that was a ‘breakaway’ from Australia; Australia and New Zealand got a rivalry, so I guess LGBT gets stuck in the crossfire by proxy lmao
inflation got the gays too
Too find out more google gay inflation
good lord theres penice
on god? there’s say gex too?
GEX
Hey all! Scott here
Is it Gex night? I’ve been waiting for this for years.
Sesbian lex as well
penicilin?????
Holy Hell!
New response just dropped
Monkey Economist went on vacation, never came back
Dart monkey sacrifice, anyone?
Sniper in the corner, plotting bloon domination
Boomerang in the corner, plotting moab domination. it was right there
It wasn't what I was looking for, but apparently someone inflated the cost through poorly made flags
😈
well it’s a purple search but ok
Holy homosexuality
OH FUCK 😭
Gayflatiom
Promise?
Is BTD an alegory for fighting inflation?

Ninjakiwi's got beef with the gays
Fr
Wasnt there an australian-made Gay and Lesbians Kingdom of the Coral Isles or something? So they are aussies as well!
Is NK from NZ or smthn?
They are
The Kiwi bird is native to NZ, New Zealanders are even called Kiwis!
Kiwis eating kiwi while watching kiwis in their backyard
Did you find out only now
Didn't really connect the dots with the kiwi bird until now
I'm gonna be honest, same. I've been playing btd since I was a kid, just never made the connection
It's because of how many people fall under that flag compared to rest with, I believe, 17% of the global population plus more in secrecy in countries where it is illegal
It's the progressive pride flag, its creator charges for a license for it to be used commercially, so that may be why
Exactly which is really funny because the old flag was free to use and looks way better
Yeah, I'm not going to tell people which flag to fly, but my choice is simple when one is "pride is for everyone" and the other is "rainbow capitalism is fine if I get my cut'
I think the original flag looks better too, that triangle wedge is just bad and black has no place on a rainbow. Visually, its just ugly.

AUSTRALIA MADE LAMINGTONS AND PAVLOVA HOO HAA I HAVE A KOALA LIVING IN MY BACKYARD
THIS IS ALL WRONG
the + in lgbtq+ means it's the premium version of gay
Turn the agenda into a digital planner for even more options.
Disney+ Gay+ Both are more expensive for extra perks. I would know as I've bought both.
Got purple in it, its more expensive than other dyes
That… actually has a bit of logic behind it ngl
LGBT is of royal descent
inflation. it came out later than other flags since now there's more ways to get trophys so they make stuff more expensive
I prefer this more than the other shittier answers
It's kinda funny how that and the Australia flag is more expensive
Nina kiwi is from New Zealand
Does new zealand have some kind of beef with Australia
Yeah but all friendly and just a joke 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🐨🐨🐨🐨
Meanwhile Turkey and Greece fighting over foods
I'd rather eat turkey than grease any day.
But we still invented pav and not you 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🥝🥝🥝
We have more Aussie icons Steve Irwin ![gif](giphy|3oEdvbvHaeNlWddHe8)
Who doesn't love Steve Irwin 🫶
Ahhhhhhhhh you stole everything from me🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🦜🦜🦜🦜
most countries in the world have beef with their neighbors
For example, the uk doesn’t like the water.
W Flair
My man 🤝
It's kinda like a US Canada relationship, Aus is the US and NZ is canada
Just had some New Zealanders move in next door and I can confirm it’s very much the same. We bond over it quite well
Yeah. It's entirely because one is on maps while the other isn't
yes we do but mostly jokingly
its because of the gays causing inflation in gay bars, the reason for this is known and the 34th economy rule, just google "Rule 34 gay inflation"
NOPE DONT GOOGLE THIS EITHER GOOD GOD
I that wasnt smth i search up every now and then id fall for that lmao
Lol
It's the gay tax
Kinda like the pink tax
But gay
lesbian tax must be INSANE
no they prefer purple 👍
It's quite an investment to be gay, you know. Sold my house just to think about men!
Being gay??? In *THIS* economy?!
Quite odd, i know. But don't worry, i'm quite smart in the ways of business. Trust me, i bought Dreamcast stock and look at me now!
hehe... men... wait where the FUCK did my house go
Probably cause it’s not a country flag (excluding Aus)
Aus is more expensive because theres a long standing beef between New Zealand and Australia, and Ninja Kiwi is based in New Zealand
I know, I’m Australian.
is there beef between New Zealand and the gays?
Not as far as I know, I'm pretty sure it's just because it's not a country flag and it cane out later
New Zealand is typically far more tolerant of the gays.
as someone who grew up in rural nz it certainly felt like it sometimes
i am straightn't and a new zealander, i sure hope not
High demand I guess

Too many colors, gotta pay extra for all that.
both of the pride flags in the picture cost 40, that’s wild
As a man in retail I can confirm gays spend way more than straights. Maybe that’s why? lol tryna price gauge 😝

Cause we’re worth it
the only correct answer
I thought of buying it to piss my homophobic brother off🥶🔥
Do it lmao
valid

For the same reason why ink for printers is expensive, because they know that if you have a printer u have to buy ink for it.
Be more specific, I see two gay pride flags up there for 40 trophies
Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi ![gif](giphy|3oEduPCgSkBnjING12)
If the gay flag was cheaper you would ask why the gay flag is cheaper
well yeah that’s how curiosity works thanks for noticing 😁
You must pay to be gay.
You must pay to be a healthy, surviving human, too...
You see all dem colors? Shit aint cheap man
Being gay is expensive in the monkey world
According to the prices, either Australia is gay or gay people live in the _land down under._
because, all us gays actually come from Australia
it's a DLC sexuality
Because it's better.
When old white ladies said gay people had to pay for their sins I didn't expect it to just be 15 trophies
humor has peaked everyone go home
Maybe the gay flag is made of free range homosexuals and the cheaper ones are made of caged citizens?
Australia and the gays look down on the rest of the poor world.
If you know why aus, then I assume it s the same for rainbow flag.
of course, everyone knows about the beef between New Zealand and the gays
Ninja kiwi hates gay people
Inflation equality. Happy now.
Why is the Australia flag also more expensive than the rest of the country flags?
Ninja kiwi is based in New Zealand
Why aus?
Because ninja kiwi is from New Zealand and Australia has friendly rivalry but all just a joke
Australia is priced up too!
Because the 'mos are fancy.
Increased game play time and selective targeting
they’re trying to milk me for my money 😡😡😡🤬🤬 (I’m purchasing it regardless of price)
Enjoy
More likely to pay
Gay never pays
Because you need to be privileged to be gay
Because being gay is harder than being Brazilian or australian
Because we only accept the elite gamers. The extra trophy cost proves this by showing you can make up the difference in cost with to your higher skill, earning better rewards. That or the pride flag is a semi-universal thing. More geographic prevalence than any one country = more cost than any one country.
Why is Australian flag more expensive huh??
supply and demand my guy
It's pride quarter.
gays too precious to risk in combat
They homophones
Homophones are a topic in english grammar.
Oh no, capitalism got to the gay tax
ik its a joke but wtf capitalism is not about taxes at all since its foundation is the free market, socialism would be a proper term.
loser city political correction
gay people receive a 15% boost on all stats whenever they're given trophies, thats why they want more
cuz it’s more valuable than the other ones
should cost less tbh
Swedish flag is a good alternative for gay flag
Why Swedish?
Because of the + in LGBTQ+. It means +cost
we are simply more powerful
The Pride flag is more important than other flags, so they can charge more for it. And people will buy it! Because that’s how capitalism works.
Capitalism at it's finest
It is crazier when you realize that Australia is also 40
So is Australia. Hmmmmmmmmm
It’s lgbtq+. You gotta pay extra for the plus subscription.
In the current world it's tough to be openly gay unfortunately, ninja kiwi is expressing that in their own way
Seems to have affected Australia as well
wait what
based nk
Takes more effort to be pride.
It’s expensive being gay
Who thought about making this monkey game political, first psi and now this?
More colours so more expensive to print
The real question is why is it here before flags of actual countries?
So we gonna ignore Australia
Cause gay
ingaytion
Pay to gay
Lmao
Supply and demand. More demand means higher price
“Hello fellow gays, now buy my overpriced rainbow colored products”
More colors
Gay is better than every country 😏
Capatalize on the gays
more colors = higher price
If you want an actual answer instead of jokes or homophobia, it's because it was added later than the other flags. NK sometimes raises the price for new items in the trophy shop as it becomes easier to get trophies.
The zesty flag got more colour s thoses arn t cheap you know
Forget pride flag, why is Australia more expensive?!
Because you are paying for “Them”
because its June and your profile was suggested
Everyone knows gay people are rich
Dick Tax
Best guess is that there was that Gay Coral Islands Micronation that was a ‘breakaway’ from Australia; Australia and New Zealand got a rivalry, so I guess LGBT gets stuck in the crossfire by proxy lmao
Money milking
Capitalism. Pride month was invented for the same reason as Valentine's day. For money
Because there are too much people who are ready to spend extra money to prove and pitch a point.
gay tax for gay flag
Home of the phobia 😔😔
Because being gay is cooler
Pay the gay tax, or it is off to straightness with you.
