you can have flag making be an art! I appreciate the art of flag making! that's not the problem here. the problem is applying rules and boundaries to flags, that makes them not flags at all. /end PT]

(Changing to a more serious tone here, no all-lowercase like I usually do this time)

You're right, and you should definitely say it louder so everyone can hear. Flags are meant to give unity to those who have a shared experience, and should be used by anyone who shares that experience and wants to use them to show their pride.

(All statements I made regarding OP's points talking about these issues are directed at beings who do these things, not at OP. /info)

Point 1: Part of what makes pride flags important is to show them off! They're meant to represent being proud of an aspect of your identity, so limiting their use seems... counterproductive???

Point 2: Heavy inspiration can be a thin line sometimes (see: the million clones of engagekiss and squidthing (I know they are problematic beings, I'm just stating an example) back in 2022-2023 mogaiblr), but it can also be a form of appreciation towards other fellow coiners! The subterm thing is especially valid, and I'm always bummed about it.

I understand making a term that's so dear to you that it's integral to your own identity, but, if others also resonate with that same experience, and want to expand it for their own, or others' form of that experience, you should definitely allow them to expand your label. (One time I wanted to coin expansions of an alterhuman label for labels beyond otherkin and fictionkin, and I asked the coiner if I could, but they said no. And while I did disagree internally, I didn't coin them out of courtesy and respect, even though gatekeeping expansions sucks. Still bummed about it to this day.)

Point 3: OH MY GOD, THE FLAG (AND TERM) DNI ISSUE IS BY FAR THE MOST EGREGIOUS. Listen, I get having your own opinions on discourse, and being uncomfortable with certain folks with stances opposing yours interacting with you, but PLEASE, let your flags and terms be used by anyone regardless of stance. When coining a term, you are giving an experience a name, and maybe a flag to represent being proud of it. Discourse should have nothing to do with coining, unless it's an actual discourse-related one. Keep shipcourse, syscourse, and other similar discourse branches out of mogai. If you're uncomfortable with pro/neu/antishippers, pro/neu/anti-endos and other kinds of beings with opposing discourse stances of yours, that's fine, but please, let them use your flags and terms, folks outside your discourse stance can also resonate with your experiences. Also, I don't think DNIs should apply to flag/term hoarding blogs, as that's literally just using a term for yourself and showing it around, kinda like the first point.

Point 4: I get rewording a post too much can make it lose its original meaning at times, but I think a bit of useful rewording for syntax can be useful for archives, ESPECIALLY if there's typos or typing quirks involved, which also leads to another problem, the lack of accessibility in nciomoqai spaces, and why plain text translations are important. Remember, accessibility comes over aesthetics. And if you don't know how to make accessible posts, try tagging blogs dedicated to it! But even then, try learning to make your posts accessible, even accessibility blogs get tired.

If you want to archive a term, but are unsure if the definition may be lost by rewording, try contacting the original coiner for help! They could give you a better explanation or correct any mistakes you could do for archival.

Term and Flag coined/made by me for @thegenderhoard

they/them characters (for example, strawberry crepe from cookie run or dante from project moon's limbus company) have their pronouns vehemently defended by the fandom, which is a pretty good thing and i heavily appreciate it!

but it/its characters? (for example, the knight from hollow knight (hell, even the fan-mantained wiki uses they/them for it, and while it's to ease reading and syntax, still irks me) and morana from mewgenics) they don't get that same luxury. they're either misgendered with either he/him or she/her based on their presentation or traits, or with they/them despite them not being their actual pronouns.

i'm not sure if this counts as a goomba fallacy (1), but i find it pretty weird that people properly use they/them pronouns for characters who prefer them, but don't use it/its pronouns for characters who prefer them.

i think a possible reason as to why this happens might be that it/its pronouns have been used as a way to demean trans folks in history for a long time, and that due to this taboo on it/its pronouns, they/them pronouns are used for canonically it/its characters as to not feel transphobic when referring to them. but there are fellow trans folks who reclaim, and even prefer it/its pronouns over they/them prononuns, so why respect it for real beings who use them, but not do the same for fictional characters? again, this could be a goomba fallacy, but it's... huh????? whuh?????

thoughts on this? it's one of the weirder forms of exorsexism, one which is more internalized than externalized, but still an issue that needs to be addressed, even among fellow trans folks.

notes:

(1) from wikitionary: a logical fallacy that occurs when someone sees contradictory opinions expressed by members of a group and mistakenly believes that those people are being hypocritical, when in reality those contradictory opinions were expressed by separate individuals.

(also in the they/them examples i was gonna include kris from deltarune, but given the fact that you're a fictive of them i thought it would make you uncomfortable... not trying to be mean or weird though, just a safety measure, i respect fictives a lot and i don't want to accidentally break important boundaries/triggers, even if not all fictives are their source. i don't know if you mind using your source as an example, so, do you mind? genuine question by the way, i'm just curious)

It absolutely is exorsexism. Even so-called allies and activists are only willing to extend their kindness as far as "normalcy."

Once it/it's and neopronouns come into the picture, it's suddenly "too far" and "why don't we just use they/them, isn't that the pronouns we're trying to teach people to use for enben?" (Ignoring the fact that enben aren't limited to they/them, and binary folks can also use pronouns other than he/him and she/her.)

↠ ✦ Tweaked Genderhoarder Flag!

Resolution: 5000x3000

Was looking through terms again and remembered that the original genderhoarder flag doesn't really appeal to me, so here's my take on it! I wanted to keep the theme of gold and precious gems, so the extra white line in the middle was put there to both break up the design and represent the shine of the gems and metals.

ID: Three flags. The first and third flag are made of 6 equally sized stripes, which are orange, light orange, yellow, lilac, purple, and blue-purple from top to bottom. The second flag is the same, with the addition of a small white stripe in the centre.

galaxycollector / spacecollector - a term for those who collect galaxy and/or space themed/coloured terms and/or flags. this is not inherently exclusive to genders, and can include any terms (including those that do not have flags).

[image ID: two nearly-identical rectangular flags, both with 6 horizontal stripes. from top to bottom, the stripe colours are a gradient from magenta to dark indigo-purple. coming from the right and left sides of the flag, there are two large triangular shapes that come to meet at a point in the middle. these triangular shapes also have 6 horizontal stripes, and are darker versions of the flags main stripes. the second flag has stars scattered across it. end image ID.]

Sensory friendly Multigender flag edit

( id: a flag with five horizontal stripes, in the following colors: dark blue, blue, light orange, blue and dark blue. /End id )

Multigender : A term for anyone who experiences more than one gender identity. It can be used as a gender identity in its own right, or can be an umbrella term for other identities which fit this description.

Made because while I love the original Multigender flag it's got some very harsh contrast as a png online vs as an actual flag (especially the middle stripe) and I wanted a version that was kinder to my eyes when making edits.

Free for anyone to use as always, and help with ALT text is greatly appreciated!

pink genderfluid — a flag for pink genderfluid people, genderfluid people who like pink, or anyone who is in some way connected to genderfluidness and the colour pink.

hell yeah!!! I’ll keep her in mind. already got one for ya for now, though.

Sakuyacharic, when your gender is in some way related to Sakuya Izayoi. there’s no wrong way to use this label.

consider this an alternate flag if it has already been done before.
