this is what the intersection of capitalism and misogyny looks like–fashion and beauty products are being marketed to females no matter their age as long as is generates profit and feeds the male gaze.

LOOK AT SONICS BALLOON FROM 2012-2013 HES SO GOOD!!!! I LOVE HIM.

Greystripe looks ok I guess but wtf happened to Jayfeather?!!

every good thing that has happened yet

(Before I get attacked, I'm ace and pretty much as inclusionist as they come)

So basically, our flag is shit and it was made based on something by a shit person

Longer explanation: the flag is based on this design made by David Jay from AVEN:

The upside down triangle is gross appropriation of antisemitic imagery, and the colors were obviously the basis for the ace flag

There's also the fact that David Jay is a massive homophobe

Having a flag based on something like this isolates many members of the ace community, and it needs to be replaced sooner rather than later

David Jay only proposed the purple part of the design, not the rest of it

Jewish Ace people that had concerns with the design were shadowbanned on AVEN and their threads were locked, and nazi apologist threads were still left up

While this was mostly in the early 2010s, I havent heard of any signs of improvement

Please reblog this

AVEN has notably been home to known p*dophiles, yet anyone who points this out tend to get banned. [1* - tw p*dophilia]

David Jay also seems to think it’s cute or funny to use slu/rs in a longer LGBT acronym, and believes that it should be k*nk inclusive. [2* - tw slu/rs, k*nk]

additional sources on antise/mitic imagery being appropriated for use in the current ace flag. [3 - tw antise/mitism, n*zism, hom/ophobia]

additional history of the flag’s design, clearly linking it back to AVEN. the current design is by Monica Helms, based on/inspired by the triangle by David Jay. [4]

*the blog these link to seems to belong to an ace exclusionist, so please read with caution. i myself am an inclusionist, i was just struggling to find sources elsewhere and had to resort to these.

i see a lot of people saying “yeah, but i like the current flag” -- which is nice, but at the same time, it’s important to consider the safety and inclusion of those who are affected by David Jay’s appropriation and beliefs. it’s okay to like the current flag, but you need to consider the feelings and wellbeing of Jewish people here. i couldn’t use this flag again in good faith knowing that it takes imagery from another minority’s suffering and appropriates it, intentional or not. 

SERIOUSLY READ THIS 

disney is heavily monitoring pirating, probably partially cause they’re just disney and cause the show is so new

people have been getting notices from their isps that they have infringed copyright by illegally streaming or downloading content without permission from the owner. they had the file name and date and time and everything of the downloads. 

i BEG you to BE FUCKING CAREFUL. use tor, use onion browser, use a FUCKING VPN but BE AWARE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. 

im not going to tell you to stop, because. you can glean from this post how i know this is happening, but i do urge you to password share when you can because it’s infinitely safer and also a way to protest against disney for their greed.
