There's something very poetic about the rainbow being pushed out of the flag more and more by each new version...

Oh boy!

At this point, I treat the original rainbow as representing homo- and bisexuals only. If you do that, its gradual disappearance by being forced into smaller and smaller spaces by other identities becomes a lot meaningful (and a lot closer to what those identities really want).

The term "queer" is so vague now that some fetishists already claim membership.

I use it as an insult

Me too.

It will always be an insult to me. That was one of the biggest, most common insults there were in the 90s. It's not a word that should have been "taken back". It should have been left to die for at least 100 years before any attempt at reviving it. What an awful word.

Honestly, that's why the secondary rainbow worked. It really showed the point of homo- and bisexuals fighting for their rights, and then queer/trans people showed up using black people as their shield so they could shit all over it.

It represented gay men. Anything else is revisionism.

You know, I just now realized this, but there's not going to be the usual barrage of downvotes and rage-filled comments talking about how Stonetoss is a Nazi. I mean, I don't know that he is or isn't, but it was pretty much guaranteed that any post on OG TiA (or SJiA, for that matter) involving one of these would be met with the accusation.

no downvotes here

Last year there was a rumour Stonetoss is a black woman.

So no one can critise her, lol.

I don't think he's a Nazi. Definitely right wing, but also wants to be funny.

That's what happens when you fling a label around at anyone, regardless of whether or not it's appropriate. In effort to brand all of your ideological enemies with the worst of associations, you've guaranteed that people no longer care if/when someone comes along that label legitimately fits.

It's why I'm hoping people take a lot more care with calling others "groomer," because I'd damn sure hate for people to just shrug and not give a fuck when a real groomer appears.

Fellas, is it gay to be Ukrainian?

[–]RedEyedWarriorThe Evil Cishomo 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

No. Also, Ukrainians are not going to like this flag.

As if being invaded wasn't enough.

So stupid, what do issues relating to sexual identity and (supposedly) orientation have to do with a war in Ukraine?

[–]RedEyedWarriorThe Evil Cishomo 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Well, the Russian government doesn't want LGBTQ activists promoting concepts that children cannot process to children. And according to the black and white logic of woke liberals, anything the Russian government opposes is on our side, so surely all Ukrainians will support multiple made up genders and drag queen story hour, right? They won't.

Wait.... are they adding the Ukrain flag? Seriously? Also, just like reallife, they are pushing the gays out.

Fuck Looney Trooneys.
