#ethiqueer

Hi! I'm Violet. So, I've coined a little term called Ethiqueer. In short, it stands for Ethical Queer, which aims to help people who may have made poor decisions in the past recover from them and heal. We strive to make the world a better place and give voices to those who need it.

This term means a lot to us, and we've put tons of time into it, trying to get everything perfect. Not everything is set in stone, and we're more than happy to hear everyone's opinion on what should be added, removed, or changed. We're genuinely interested in what's best for everyone and what can help people feel safer in our community. That said, do let me introduce our stances.

What we are in support of (+) ﹒Furries, Otherkin, Therians, Alterhumans, Transspecies, ETC. ﹒EDUCATED self-diagnoses ﹒All people can recover, even those with "The Big 3" paraphilias. If they are trying to recover, encourage them, do not tell them to die ﹒Recovery. People deserve second chances ﹒Mass reporting of harmful people (Whether it be an anti-recovery radqueer, predator, groomer, ETC. We should be reporting rather than harassing them) ﹒All forms of Queer / LGBT+ (This does not include transids or other radqueer ideologies. Those can rot in a ditch) ﹒To be cringe is to be free. Don't let people stop you from being who you are. You're awesome, and I'm proud of you ﹒Destigmatization of non-sexual nudity (Such as in art) ﹒Helping people find proper education and learn how to be better ﹒Abortion, Freedom of Speech, Feminism ﹒Speaking out against those who are harmful or making bad choices ﹒Justice for those who were wronged ﹒CONSENTUAL kink, paraphilias, and fetishes ﹒Living your life how you desire, provided you are not harming anyone or yourself in the process What we are against (-) ﹒Radqueers, Xenosatanists, MOST TransIDs ﹒Contradictory Labels (Specifically male lesbians and female gay men; I can go deeper into this if asked) ﹒Endogenics, Willogenics, any type of 'non-traumagenic system' ﹒Pro / Darkshippers, Lolicons + Shotacons, ETC. ﹒Those with harmful paraphilias that are not seeking help and looking to recovery, as well as those who are pro-contact harmful paras ﹒AI users, racists, homophobes / transphobes, antisemitists, ETC. ﹒Harassment of any kind ﹒Religious discrimination (We ourselves are Satanists AND Hellenic Polytheists, as well as have beliefs outside of that. We're happy to share if asked) ﹒Non-consentual actions, coercion, or doing things you know the other person will not like / approve of ﹒Transspecies + Transgender being treated as RQ terms ﹒Bigotry, Truscum, Transmeds ﹒Adult Attracted Minors / Minor Attracted People ﹒Sexualization of age regression and pet regression (Such as DDLG / MDLB, Dualcom, Ageplay, Petplay, ETC.)

Onto the symbolism, lads. Ethiqueer is consistantly represented by the seedling and scale emojis,(🌱⚖️) which to us represent constant growth, change, & recovery, as well as freedom, balance / equality, justice, and education. These are all things that we feel strongly for, and we're proudly open and loud about them. The flag, believe it or not, represents things as well. While it seems plain, there are reasons we designed it the way we do. Let me explain;

SHADES OF RED ,, The shades of red represent the fact that change looks different in everyone, that time can help people grow & be better people. Recovery doesn't look the same for everyone, and the shades show that.

RAINBOW SCALE ,, This symbolizes queer acceptance in society, equal rights, gay marriage, and things of a similar variety. The reason for it being slightly transparent is to show a lack of these things. All over the world, we are not socially accepted, and we should be. We need to fight for this.

The only thing that doesn't really have a meaning is the circle in which the scale sits on. I mostly added it so it'd look nicer, and I'll be fully open about that. It took hours to figure out how I wanted to design my flag, and I'm genuinely happy with how it turned out, as am I happy about how my term has turned out so far. I look forward to seeing how my little community will grow and provide a safe space for people.

This is the Ethiqueer flag! I've just decided tonight that I wanted to do this, so the flag is a bit rushed, and probably not as optimized and good as it COULD be. We are also just not great at making flags in general, and anyone is free to remake it if they desire. I WILL admit that it is heavily inspired by one we found on Pinterest(as in we used it as a temp with our own colors), as we are also terrible at coming up with our own style, and perhaps we will remake it one day with our own. I just didn't want anyone to find out and think we took their design and intentionally tried to hide it. STANCES ;; What we are against (-) ﹒Radqueers, Xenosatanists, MOST TransIDs ﹒Contradictory Labels (Specifically male lesbians and female gay men; I can go deeper into this if asked) ﹒Endogenics, Willogenics, any type of 'non-traumagenic system' ﹒Pro / Darkshippers, Lolicons + Shotacons, ETC. ﹒Those with harmful paraphilias that are not seeking help and looking to recovery, as well as those who are pro-contact harmful paras ﹒AI users, racists, homophobes / transphobes, antisemitists, ETC. ﹒Harassment of any kind ﹒Religious discrimination (We ourselves are Satanists AND Hellenic Polytheists, as well as have beliefs outside of that. We're happy to share if asked) ﹒Non-consentual actions ﹒Transspecies + Transgender being treated as RQ terms ﹒Bigotry, Truscum, Transmeds ﹒Adult Attracted Minors / Minor Attracted People What we are in support of (+) ﹒Furries, Otherkin, Therians, Alterhumans, Transspecies, ETC. ﹒EDUCATED self-diagnoses ﹒Recovery. People deserve second chances ﹒All forms of Queer / LGBT+ ﹒Destigmatization of non-sexual nudity (Such as in art) ﹒Abortion, Freedom of Speech, Feminism ﹒Helping people find proper education ﹒Speaking out against those who are harmful and/or making harmful / bad choices ﹒Justice for those who were wronged ﹒CONSENTUAL kink and paraphilias

Now we can finally get to what the flag and the emoji combo we've chosen actually stands for :) Bear with me. I get that what you've already read is a lot /silly SAND ,, The Sandy / Cream color was chosen to represent freedom of expression, unity, and self-love. FOREST GREEN (L) ,, We've chosen a lighter version of our Forest Green to represent recovery. Whether it is from being a Radqueer, having Harmful Paraphilias, Addiction, or anything else. FOREST GREEN (D) ,, To us, our darker Forest Green stands for systemhood, as well as standing up against ableism, racism, and other bigotted behaviors. Lastly, we have; RAINBOW ,, You may have already guessed it, but the big rainbow in the middle represents acceptance and love of all queer folk and queer identities that may exist. Our Emojis + Meanings (❤️‍🩹🦋) BANDAGED HEART ,, The bandaged heart was chosen to signify recovery and distancing oneself from things that have caused them harm. BUTTERFLY ,, The butterfly has been added to represent joy, freedom, as well as Ethiqueer as a whole.

Holy moly, alright. This is a long post. We're more than open to hear what you think of what we have put together, as well as anything you think we should change! We honestly were a bit lost on ideas of what to put for things that we are for, as well as against, and we're happy to hear any suggestions. We were a bit lost as well on what our combo should be, so suggestions for that are also welcome, as we may change it if a better one arises. Thank you for reading, I apologize if our flag looks kinda look dookey lmao or if this does not make sense. It's low key taken us like 2 hours to make, and we kinda just wanted to get it done. If enough people like this concept, we're happy to make a whole account for it too :)

Oh, absolutely! I'm happy to do so. A fair warning, we apologize if this is difficult to read. We're also copy and pasting from a different post we made on our other account, going to tweak a few things, though, as since we've made it, we've learned a few things :) Alright, so when I say I'm against contradictory labels, I do not mean multigendered beings or anything similar. I would never be against something like that. Half of us in our system do actually have multiple genders. What I mean is when trans men identify as lesbians, and trans women identify as gay men. Similar with people who call themselves a bisexual lesbian or something along those lines. Those are all just factually impossible and go against the very meaning of those labels. This is not to say I do not support transmasculine lesbians. I for one, am a transmasculine woman who is a lesbian. I've talked with the little guy that I caregive for about this exact topic in the past, actually, and he has expressed that trans man lesbians just make him feel invalidated and like his experiences didn't really matter. They also make me, as a lesbian, feel invalidated as well. We have nothing against those who identify as bigender, pangender, genderfluid, etc. identifying as lesbians. My headmate's partner is bigender, and if he was a lesbian, we'd fully support her. We've also learned recently of a term called sapphellian, which is a non binary exclusive term, and we completely support identities like that as well. I actually find it a very delightful way to describe how they feel within a singular term, and some of us may take to an identity similar. We also may not understand intersex experiences, but we do make an effort to ask questions and show an interest in learning about how they feel. We'll never fully understand them, as we are afab bodily, and have never lived as an intersex person. We love and support them, though. I appreciate you asking. A lot, actually. We like trying to explain how we feel about these types of topics. Even if our typing is a bit rambly or hard to explain. You're fine to follow up with any other questions, and you're even fine to explain a few things to us, as we may not understand them fully, and are open to learning. Though, I can say that I will never support male lesbians and female gay men. It is one of the only things that we will never support on this topic.

Hi, I coined the term Ethiqueer. My page is, and will always be a safe space for Radqueers who are recovering or looking to learn about how the RQ community is harmful. I do not tolerate harassment of these folks, we are strictly anti-harassment. If you are caught harassing RQs or anyone in general, you are no longer welcome in our community. We are a safe space for people to share their stories, find education on the harm certain communities cause, and learn that they are loved by many outside of those communities. Many Radqueers, particularly younger ones, were taken advantage of, and as much as I hate saying it, groomed into being one. If they are pro-contact for any harmful thing or anti-recovery, block and report them. Do not harass them. In fact, send over the username and I may respond to it. Mass reporting is far more effective, and far less dangerous. Please do not harass them. No matter what. Especially if you are a minor. You'd be giving them what they want. Attention. Not to mention, they may get off to humiliation, degradation, hate, etc. You're only putting yourself at risk by harassing them. Lastly, to any Radqueers currently recovering, looking for a reason to leave that community, or just looking to learn a bit, we love you guys. There's always a place for you here, and you're always welcome. Recovery is always an option, and you're never 'too far gone.' Even if you've been a part of the harmful side of the Radqueer community. Despite this post, we remain heavily anti-radqueer, I feel I should add. We do ask any RQs who are not trying to change their harmful behavior or seeking information to please not interact. We are deeply uncomfortable with you and would prefer to keep this strictly a positive space.
