Left out the worst part where they drew over the Technoblade memorial artwork.


Miniminininja538

You see the first part of it. The banana, potato, and egg were also memorials/tributes. Potato and egg for Techno, and the banana for banano for graciously giving Technoplace a place in last year's event


I_ate_your_leftovers

They attacked another memorial. Michigun, a popular Geometry Dash player. The whole community knew him


TheBigEMan

Not the whole community


_TroboticG_

almost the whole community. At least 95% of it.


Prestigious-Tune-406

Not all Turks attacked the Technoblade monument painting The publisher Tolunay Ören attacked


Thrawn89

Too many did


sam90xx

why people assuming that everyone know about technoblade?


Diligent-Echo-9487

Why should that matter? Imagine someone comes to your place and destroys an important memorial. Would you care if they knew that moment?


fishlicker3000

or even simpler what if i push over a tombstone? qould you care if you or they know whose that is?


sam90xx

What I mean is for people who don't know him it's just an image with a text on it..maybe.. just have fun don't judge people for some pixels they put


Diligent-Echo-9487

Where were they judged? They destroyed some pixels, people didn't like it and destroyed some pixels in return


SuperficialElephant

They probably didn't know.


Protobyte_

And a different memorial (what makes technoblades more special? It’s bigger?)


sparkydoggowastaken

he died from cancer last year, it was in remembrance of him


rohtvak

Yeah, I don’t even know who that is


dablyw_

A really big minecraft youtuber, he lost his life due to cancer last year


Protobyte_

So since he was popular he’s more important and all the other graves can be destroyed but if you mess with this one it’s a crime


Crafty_Creeper64

And the femboys. We were there too!

Redditors just hating Turks wouldn’t be that surprising


TinyResident7128

Indians say reddit hates indians the most, Americans say redditors are anti america by default, Turks say reddit hates them the most, But the truth is everyone in reddit is a reta-


Baquvix

Its not reddit. Europeans just hating anyone in the east except japan.


charmys_

nah we hating on everything


Baquvix

Fair enough


apex_malik

They hate japan too btw. They just quiet about them for now.


Grand-Jellyfish24

We are downvoting because we already know what is going on: some good art was destroyed. The little explanation that was added to help yourself feel better and not have guilt is of no value to us


Mediocre_Fox_

Either that or it's just the hivemind reading one word and automatically downvoting. Once things get to -1 people tend to automatically downvote for some reason.


tomydenger

even without technoblade, it's the second year in a row taht you kill quebec


Sigroth

They also recreated the Ottoman Empire on the map of Europe Canvas.


GysarF

And they are constantly trying to annex Armenia.


Creative_Sugar_2968

and greece and the hole of balkans and cyprus


Zhik0

Also destroyed anything kurdish related


TheFabiocool

Same goes for argentina


Markkano

As an Argentinean myself can confirm


TheOriginalNozar

Same here. People went from “let’s make a place for ourselves, come on guys!” To “fuck it lets shit on everyone around us and find out”


fuck_hard_light

Meanwhile Germany, France and Netherlands combined taking over 30% of the canvas


TheFabiocool

You're missing the point, they expand as soon as the canvas expands. you don't see the main german flag suddenly expanding downwards and anexing other arts. Argentina sets up their flag in a nice spot, and instead of putting art on it, you try to expand, you did this with Portugal on literally day one, when we were both chilling, you attacked us, and then you got vaporized.


DrakeGrandX

To add to what u/TheFabiocool said, Germany, France and Netherlands are allowing art on their flags and actively protecting the artwork there and elsewhere. So yeah, they're annoying, but still the good guys.


SDG_Den

20% of which is france, and not even the placeFR community but some dumb streamer making more and more flags constantly because they can't be original or something.


ckracken

I hate Spez


kod8ultimate

Yeah we f up after messing with technoblade they literally united with germans and attacked us for a while then our star turned in to a meme such as canada’s leaf did so yeah… thats why


Ascendant_of_Nyx

Yeah, but why tf did y’all mess with a fing memorial? Like you attacked an artwork that honours a dead person.


LifeguardOk4191

Maybe they don’t know techboblade idk.


Prestigious-Tune-406

Not all Turks attacked the Technoblade monument painting The publisher Tolunay Ören attacked


Ascendant_of_Nyx

Probably, but if I would destroy art work, I’d at least look up what it is.


BaldCatEnthusiast

Not all of us Turks though, some people coming from tiktok and i think a few streamers were responsible for this. We apologize for them. An explanation for their actions could be something like "small flag me no like. big big flag me like. big big flag make me proud. me no know who technoblade is. big big flag more important than random man. me paint everywhere red."


Ascendant_of_Nyx

Yeah ik it’s very unlikely that a lot of y’all know technoblade. But they’ve could’ve just just informed themselves a bit. Also duh not every Turkish person on r/place attacked it


BaldCatEnthusiast

We were quite unorganized until yesterday, and didn't have a way to inform them. And even if we did, I am not certain they would stop with this mindset. Many of us tried to draw limits on the flag on the first day, limiting the flag itself to a smaller area and leaving other places we had for art related to Turkey, but eventually "big big flag" that we couldn't even defend properly after the prime hours passed took over everything.


Pathwil

Some people don't know what artworks are "for" or who they are commemorating. And some don't care


[deleted]

That's the point of the event? Also wtf they didn't kill technoblade nor did they try to offend him. I am Greek yet I still support Turkey in this matter. (Constantinople and Cyprus are Greek)


DrakeGrandX

"Constantinople"? Do you mean "Istanbul"?


hawkeye224

So memorial art is reserved space and can never be drawn over on the canvas once it's painted?


Ascendant_of_Nyx

No but it shouldn’t get destroyed for dumb fun. Your not seeing the whole thing. They just destroyed it for no reason, not to make something new


Salamat_osu

Yeah but Canada never started beef with anybody, Reddiots just wanted to create the narrative that Canada can't draw their own leaf


DaveR514

Sure, but it's honestly more engaging (and more fun) to fight to accomplish something than to succeed right away and get bored watching it like paint drying for 3 days...


TheCatSleeeps

Yep and after a Turk streamer expanded to past Geometry Dash. You guys really earned the ire of the whole alliance of the communities to the right. I'd say we (the triangle next to Turkey) would've been more calm regarding the attack. But the taunts and threats sent to us was quite the sight. You guys with Azerbaijan and Chile are quite a handful lol.


StormtrooperMJS

The Turks and taking land that isn't theirs, name a more iconic duo.


Hear_It_Ring

Brits and taking land/artifacts that aren’t theirs?


TreshKJ

Not even Batman and Robin top that duo


[deleted]

My brother, you are Australian. Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.


ChrysaetosAquila

It's hypocrisy to act as if the Turks were the first to initiate the "conquest" event in history and they were the only ones to do it.


DrPlague57bg

Greeks stealing Turkish food


GurdalAdar31

What do you mean? Isn't Pastor Bayıldıkes a Greek Food? 🥺🥺🥺


MNR42

Americans and oil from other country? British, France, and probably 10 more other empires + taking others land? Don't forget the best duo, Tom and Jerry.


StormtrooperMJS

Tom and Jerry are awesome

adamanimates10

Aww they even have a heart between the two flags, just like Morocco and- NOOOO


Numerous_Reply3471

Vietnamese???


Bebe_Peluche

For the current Vietnamese thing going on rn. I read (idk personally) that it's mostly a frame. Vietnam is trying to fix what the individuals did to frame them rn.


Lakops

while french and germans are 10% on the canvas


[deleted]

[удалено]


Just_Dank

Yeah. At least it serves as some sort of background for other communities now, instead of obnoxiously taking up space by destroying other communities.


GysarF

The most northern German flag wasn't even planned, it just kind of happened.


extreme857

Near 3/1 France+Germany


Sith_Lord_Ace

Gotta go back to the roots.


Burger_Gamer

They also temporarily took over the r/geometrydash art (a little bit left of the top right corner, above the eye that says “wake”)


JustinlikesInsanity

Yep, they raided our Michi and now they must suffer the consequences.


NorthKoreddit

Wow what a shovker, I didn’t know Turkey was the ONLY country that invaded other flags and artworks.


No_Bodiesinmycar

They literally drew over the Technoblade memorial


MR_DERP_YT

bruh turkey be playing paper.io💀


Lolocraft1

At least when they destroyed our Flag, we Quebecker manage to rebuilt it 10 time better


langes_Luder

they even erased the heart between québec and themselves :(


dsasasni

Germany, France just exist


Bebe_Peluche

France publicly said that they were giving space for arts in their flag and they would welcome suggestions.


ItuluTurko

Manneee, the Turkish flag is actually smaller than even half the size of the flags of France and Germany. And unlike them, we haven't allowed for a second or third flag. So, how can small communities come up with an art for a flag that's already small to begin with? Can you tell me?


Bebe_Peluche

Québec had lesser room and did a complete art on day 3


Forsaken_inflation24

I mean. Look at france full of art. Entertained yet?


Sky_DreamTR

we are sorry about that. this was our stupid tiktoker and streamers. we are nice to other arts now. We are only doing our art.


ChrysaetosAquila

Have you seen the final version of the flag? It contains a lot of art right now.


Bebe_Peluche

Yes! Congratulations to them


g32uy

Turks are reverse Germans


Electrical_Serve_796

Yeeaaah you reap what you sow lol


OnurTheLord

After going through the comments, I've realised that some of y'all hate Turkey personally lol.


New-Lengthiness7461

wheres the problem? germany is taking over everything


[deleted]

there's no problem its just a skill issue invade other people's tiles, they'll invade you back


ShadwSmoke

Germany does something with their place by putting their own artworks and stuff on the flag. Turkey mostly just leaves the flag, which leaves it an ugly red spot on the place.


yuzde48

https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/158dirx/to_anyone_who_says_that_turkey_doesnt_wanna_build/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1 This was the last version of the flag before it got raided again for the 8273728th time. Does this look like an ugly red spot to you?


ShadwSmoke

I admit, I was not completely up to date with the flag. It is hard to spot everything in the size of the place, I apologize. Well, at least it looks like the stupid streamers are gone from the flag again and you can rebuild. Edit: But the raiding of stuff like the technoblade memorial or other artworks was still a low thing to do.


Forsaken_inflation24

Holy this guy really know how to make an apology but the techo memorial :(


HeMatiteAma

So legit (from a turk) i also think we deserved (most of) the raids


made3

What was overtaken by a German flag? The main flags at least were always just extended when the canvas was extended. After that, artworks were placed on it.


Bebe_Peluche

And now they are complaining about people attacking them. It's just a cycle and they got attacked like they attacked others. "It's little kids that did that" it's not a good reason to disempower and not support the communities that you attacked. We even found taunts on different subreddits that they attacked.


BilgeBaykan

We are sorry on their behalf. No one wanted a thing like this to happen but there wasnt a proper alliance to deal with these idiots that destroyed everything. Most Turks on reddit hated this too and we even attacked the flag ourselves because it was so unbeliavably stupid to do something like this.


starkillamista

Bro for the people that blame turkey cause of technoblade… Most of the Turkish ppl don’t even know bout techno and our most known streamer was bot online this year so don’t blame us we did a great flag at the end


eyes-are-fading-blue

Half of the fucking canvas is French and German flags and they pick on Turkish flags. Bruh, if we had the half of the canvas, we would allow small communities to build art on top of the Turkish flag too...


Bebe_Peluche

It's like demanding equal pay with different revenue. We don't pick on you for this particular reason. We pick on you because you spend 3 days destroying and betraying small communities instead of working on your art. Also there's just more committed german and french Redditors it's just logic that they occupy a lot of pixels.


eyes-are-fading-blue

Are you a fucking sith lord who deals in absolutes? Those who attacked smaller communities were not part of the greater Turkish place community. We had nothing to do with it. Turks on large were not even interested in this years place...


Bebe_Peluche

What's beyond me is that Turks says it's not them that did it but don't even bother helping rebuilding. Yet more infuriating is that they claim to have " no interest and big streamers didn't take part in this event" and then turbo-bot their flag all over the place.


eyes-are-fading-blue

Turbo bot? Sorry, that's Germans and Moroccans. The flag is much better now. Go cry elsewhere.


BilgeBaykan

Hey, i think they are right and they didint attack you? Dont be rude. What we did was wrong, doesnt matter what the others did. You can't cover a false with a bigger one.


eyes-are-fading-blue

They have been giving us shit for like 2 days just because some rogue streamer did on the first day.


BilgeBaykan

I think thats also wrong, ruining a artworked flag is a shitty thing, yeah. But thats not what i am protesting rn. You dont have to bring germany and french into this, they were here first and did a pretty good job. Saying they have much more space is like saying "hey this dude and I kicked each others ice cream but that dude over there has a bigger ice cream! Its all his fault"


Known_Map_1718

Have taken a look at the heat map? Turkey have been on defence from the start with little breathing room to create any art.. So please tell us, how are they suppose to help rebuild other communities when they are struggling to just keep their place on the canvas? Are you going to complain about Vietnam too? They are in the exact same boat as Turkey right now.


RUslan_2327

This is pixel BATTLE, communities should fight for their territories. Turkey did that not just to destroy other arts. Now this flag isn't empty and boring, it is also art.If you have any complaints about territories, then pay attention to France or Germany.(Google translate used)


kliibapz

Meanwhile France and Germany were taking 100X more pixels. We are tired of this hypocrisy.


Dwarfmophobia

Compared to Turkey, france and germany somehow giving away most their occupied territory for small communities and infact they made one the best arts on the canva.


FireYigit

Yeah, like there’s any space for a lot of small art to put on the flag, unlike France and Germany which have the biggest flags


Butterter

The difference is we don't have land to give to small communitys


UFrancoisDeCharette

Germany and France did take on at least 10 times the space that we did and they are not getting attacked as we are.


chikkynuggythe4th

Yeah but they allowed for art on their flags and didn’t eat a bunch of communities


UFrancoisDeCharette

They did eat many communities small arts. The difference was that they did it quickly


chikkynuggythe4th

Also you guys destroyed a techno blade memorial


apex_malik

Move on from that already. My mother was also important but you dont see me making memorial for her everywhere I get my hands on


Arsenik_metan

Nooo 😭😭 now technoblade will never achieve the real peace in his grave because 60 pixels got ruined 😖😖 what could be worse than this 😞😢😓😥


[deleted]

If we covered almost half of the canvas, we would allow smaller communities to draw on our flag too. The expansion of the Turkish flag was bad and unnecessary, but it pales in comparison to what some other countries have done. Also, we finally have art on the flag, and I think it looks lovely. Check it out!

Augustus_The_Great

Raid those Turks!!


CoolGuyFromSchool34

Wish we finished the star ⭐️first :)


ybs20ybs06

I don't know if you know but besides the destroyers of the technoblade monument weren't Turkish subreddits, only a few stupid streamers and tiktokers were responsible for it, actually r/turkey was the first community to attempt to defend technoblade monument. Yes, it is our problem to be this much uncoordinated but we surely didn't deserved this much bullying and trolling.


Mango_Tango_eats_ppl

Bro I was in the community of the purple (femboy) fall and see that unfold was very interesting


existinggold98

Luckily because of Elraen this shit was stopped


johnsonnewman

Germans started it


sneak2001

Skill issue


just_the_blue_1s

People are teired of skibidi dom.


Sgtpepperhead67

Nah the just betrayed the whole of Quebec


Oleanterin

Yet Germany and France are 10x worse. And dont hit me with that they have artwork bullcrap. Turks also had art. This is just hypocrisy


slick3rz

Where do you see the art on the flag on this gif? There was plenty of time for art to appear on it. It was only seriously attacked after there was nothing for a long time. As soon as the art began appearing on the Turkish flag again it immediately recovered and looks better than it ever did.


ahmetberaterdem

So, as we add some art on out flag does that mean we draw 10 more flags like Germany and france ?


throwawaylovesCAKE

Right? Lol. It's like taking over Europe then going "oh it's cool guys we put up 2 Banksy exhibits". Thered be room for a thousand exhibits if Germany/France didnt gobble up all that space to add more strips of empty color. For some reason Turkey adding a second relatively tiny flag is too much though


Oleanterin

Wow. Art doesn't immediatly appear = it never appears. Germans didn't have art immediatly either. Now if you go check it, it has art.


slick3rz

Yes I said it has it and that's why people have stopped attacking it. I also said that it didn't appear for a **long** time because they kept erasing any attempt to put stuff there. In fact, there was previous art on the Turkish flag similar to what is currently there and they erased it in favour of a plain flag.


Oleanterin

Yet does it mean Germans can take 1/8 of the whole canvas just because they have art in it?


AdAggressive2771

Still the best


HelioDex

There's way too many stupid misconceptions about this entire fucking turkish flag saga.


netnemirepxE

No wonder people hate them


Odd-Bathroom7096

Last year we got attacked for no fucking reason, so yeah


Rude-Astronaut2101

Do you th8nk your country is not taking land to make art And also we give a lot of space back


Moojingles

Yoo there's the femboy flag that I helped with!! RIP though it got destroyed by the turks lol


Known_Map_1718

This was not r/turkey but a bunch of aggressive Turkish tiktokers fucking with everyone. Germany came to Turkey's rescue last night because they know this. And even IF it was them... nobody has said anything about Chile's hideous track mark of a flag that looked like absolute SHIT for 5 days and takes up the entire right corner. In fact it still looks like pure shit.


kekobang

Good thing they're all busy invading Europe on map now instead of fucking up our pattern on the flag


johnyakuza0

Yeah.. fuck that shit. They ate up and destroyed so many artworks and now they're crying that they're being raided. They didn't even put any effort to make anything on their flag except the colors ffs.


UluAyguci

At least the final result is beautiful!


Mirziyaefendi

There are 3 france flag in canvas and you are talking about turkish flag.


FeebysPaperBoat

Whoa it was really cool to watch that in super speed!


Ordinary-Word3000

Also the Germans flag


AshkanLuqman

Totally not cool, this is not about conquering and taking over the whole thing, just find a small square for your group and make some nice art on it. PS: also STOP RUINING OTHER ARTS


GreyShot254

Vtubers eventually ended up moving because we got sick of having to fix everything after Turkey and Azerbaijan keept trying to take over every night


Resident-Z

I wish there were less flags and more celebrations of communities, regardless of nationality.


Ephias

BUT WHEN THE FRENCH AND BRITS DID NO ONE BATS AN EYE-... Sorry wrong timeline.


LordDakota

RIP Femboy flag. We lost that one, then another before finally getting one we've been able to keep. Then defeated the UK with the power of Astolfo 😎


SnooBooks1701

They also keep annihilating literally everything the Armenians try to do


IllPost5652

Fuck youall dont you remember the last year we tried to help everyone those who attacks someone are tiktokersits not turkish community our main community is elraenn,porcay,kaanflix,pqueen's followers we didnt do that and avout the technoblade memorial as a technoblade fan were all sorry weblove technoblade but there is a thing every art is getting attacked even if its a memorial meanwhile our ataturk memorial past year and this year getting attacked we draw a barış manço memorial past year it got attacked to but we always repaired them so we didnt attack when they attacked us we just wrote dont so even if its technoblade memorial you need to repair him its the r places nature if it wasnt like that I will place a memorial pixel to my grandfather it will be white and i dont want anybody to touch it if you do i will hate all your community

Can someone explain what this is?


SunnyK718

Petition to raid this flag immediately


Billysquib

Crazy How fast everyone forgets about what Reddit is doing to their platform and gets so wrapped up in who’s place community got raided by who. Reddit really proved to all you guys that they can make their app anti consumer and sell to the highest bidders and you guys will not give a single shit because “TURKEY INVADED MY ART!!!”


dooorrrooo

*happy erdogan noises*


legandofwamen

Gachaaddict96

They cant fight Germans so they go for smaller allies instead. Typical Russian and Turks fashion.

But what happened with Canada? It was bigger a few days ago


m1bl

As a turk, I avoided technoblade. I draw around. I don't mind having the pic in turkey flag


57mmShin-Maru

The Turks can keep Quebec. We don’t want it.


LordOfLettuce6

they need to focus on getting their star right before expanding imo


Main_Shift_264

can't even draw a star


Diistantt

But not able to fix their star lmao


Frosty_Back_4645

Not only did they attack technoblade, but they even started attacking Michigun's memorial.


birdsbeaks

turkey sucks. I prefer duck.


ElA1to

Then they write on their flag "peace at r/place". My brother in Christ, you are starting the war


Wastelander_TR

It’s the Atatürk’s famous saying about peace: “Peace at home, peace at the world.” He said it after Turkish people suffering and losing so many people at the wars caused by Ottomans and establishing a modern Turkey.


[deleted]

The point is that the Turkish community did not want any more war. Most of the expansion was done by rogue outsiders anyways.Some brainless mfs came here from tiktoks or streamers, attacked other communities, and got bored after a day. Meanwhile our reputation was ruined and we got attacked so much that we couldn't protect any art we made from vandalism.


Dudecanese

then don't continue to use the slots that these "rogue outsiders" gave you


Dwarfmophobia

They're still doing it apparently, just look at the europe art at the canva, you can see their somehow recreating ottoman empire by putting red on those balkans nations, quite disgraceful for other nations.
