Anyone else think the German tricolor looks sinister?

There is only space for one German tricolor in my heart:

Which I suppose looks even more sinister, guess I'm just an evil bastard then.

It looks super harsh and unsettling compared to most other European flags. I see it waving outside my window a lot of the time and it looks so menacing against the clear blue sky.

I sorta agree, current flag is worst German flag, I don't think it was done as well as it could've been.

This should be the real flag of Germany imo.

Or this one

That is Germany's real flag. And the way I see Germany

This is the true flag, aka, the Deutsche Kaiserreich's flag:

Or Preußen's:

Or that very imperial Preußisches coat of arms (man that looks royal af):

The yellow-red-black flag is not the world's finest, it used to symbolize the democratic-liberal uprisings of 1848, but now all Germans are used to it, even right wing nationalists have decided to love it.
Then it's here to stay.

And after all, it's not that bad, given that Germany is surrounded by countries that (except Belgium) all have conventional red and white in their national flags.

Why is Belgium flag similar to German but inverted?

Because Brabant (the central province of Belgium, with Brussels in the middle and both French- and Dutch-speaking districts) used to have black, yellow and red colours on their coat of arms.
