I AM NOT AN AUTHORITY ON ALTERHUMAN LABELS!

[Plain Text: I AM NOT AN AUTHORITY ON ALTERHUMAN LABELS!]

If I get something wrong, PLEASE do not assume that it's on purpose! I'm not saying that you can't be annoyed or upset or offended. But getting snippy and aggressive, acting like that's going to do anything, isn't the answer either.

I MAKE MISTAKES! THAT'S OKAY!

[Plain Text: I MAKE MISTAKES! THAT'S OKAY!]

What WOULDN'T be okay is if I didn't take responsibility for the accidental misinformation. But if you look through the linked resources in my pinned post (specifically the one on why k word is a slur and the harms of miagendering) then you'll see that I have absolutely no problem being corrected when misinformation is accidentally spread.

I'm going to make mistakes. That. Is. O. Kay. That's okay. I'm not perfect. I'm not super, in-depth, always up to date, nerded out on all alterhuman identities and their definitions.

Please, please, please stop acting like the person on your screen is intentionally being malicious when past behaviors prove that that is not the case. A gentle correction is all I need. That's it.

I'm writing this because I've gotten a few things wrong about a few different identities. And while I greatly appreciate the people who have gently reproached me, I've had a couple other people who get passive aggressive or accusatory. Please, please, please. I never want to offend anybody. You're feelings are valid but lashing out at me as if I did it on purpose, IS NOT. Please just let me know that I got it wrong, maybe give me some reading material. I genuinely don't mind.

Discrimination against kin folk! This primarily affects therians and otherkin but I allow those beyond that to submit asks as well.

I was recently given permission to make a flag for factflicker but I don't know the first thing about flag making

My big question is, and I know you don't speak for everyone, do you have any ideas of what colors it would be well of me to use? I know that some flag makers add colors with meaning and some are just like "it looks nice" but I would like to have colors with meaning if I can fit some in yk

Thank you

The only places I can think to draw inspiration from are the factkin flag and the alterhuman flag!

I don't have a ton of experience making flags for such broad groups but I'd probably recommend a grey stripe as a nod to the fact root of the term!

There is another alterhuman flag going around, I believe, that also has purple in it! I just don't have that one saved. But green and purple are the two colours I've seen most associated with alterhumanity if you want to go with that angle!
