ok this is insane but like.. the new tumblrinas are more acclimated to the culture than some normal users. i mean it. like every single reddit refugee post has an INSANELY CLOSE like to reblog ratio and there all mutualing each other and sending each other asks and dms. like wtf. how are you better at this.
in all seriousness i think its because we welcomed them with such feral delight. like every single tumblr user individually saw the reddit refugees and were like “ok listen. we love you honey and hope you’re feeling good and here are the instructions” and they did SO MUCH MORE THAN WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD!!! AND NOW ALL OF THEM ARE LIKE HAVING SO MUCH FUN AND IM SO HAPPY FOR THEM!!!!
and also not to keep going but i adore how everyone is so so emotional about this. like every single reddit refugee is like “oh my god why are you so nicee i havent felt this happy in years holy fuckkk…” and were all like “its ok!!! im so glad you are having fun you are doing such a good job yknow? youre perfect at this!!” anyways if YOURE a reddit refugee lets be mutuals
We’ve been let loose after staring at r/Tumblr posts for several years, our time is nigh
I’m immediately thinking of Will Smith’s character in Men In Black, and how he doesn’t shoot the alien cutouts because he spots the personhood in each of them.
This one is so pretty! The pink and light blue look so cute and helps break the flag up a bit more. Plus they were removed for stupid reasons.
The racism and transphobia really jumped out…
Yeah, yikes
Imo the one w/ the pink one is so much uglier
1: Don’t call me racist or transphobic because I understand how colour theory works.
2: I am literally trans
3: The original flag didn’t exclude people of colour, it treated them the same as everyone else. I don’t understand why you would need an extra stripe or two to “appreciate POC more”. Also, right before he died, the creator of the flag (Gilbert Baker) added a lavender stripe to represent diversity.
4: The black bar already had meaning. It represented those who were lost to AIDS. The people who added the brown stripe completely appropriated the meaning of the black one and painted over its meaning and history, which is honestly pretty disgusting in my opinion.
Stop calling people who disagree with you racist and transphobic because they know the history of the flag more than you do and realise that the brown stripe is ugly as fuck.
i love the original flag so much, always have :( its so pleasing
“the pink stripe is ugly” just say graphic design is your passion and go. also gilbert baker wasn’t consulted on the bullshit design, and they released it like a MONTH after his death. that’s fishy as fuck.
if you support the philly pride flag, you lose the ability to complain about capitalism and corporations pandering to LGBT people.
I made a version with the 6 stripes + the Gilbert diversity stripe. I made it bc when I asked some non-LGBT ppl what they thought of his original flag, they said it looks visually “a lot” and couldn’t immediately tell it was an LGBT thing. But this one was easier to grasp. What do you think @deianiradiscourse ? Is it worth sharing/spreading?
The diversity within the LGBT community is beautiful and worth celebrating! Just not with shitty flags.
But no pink? :(
Sex privileges revoked.
Can’t have shit in Detroit!! >:(
The colors in Gilbert’s actual flag are lovely and work really well together. I say we keep that.
I’ve never understood shoe-horning other flags or racial coloring into the main pride flag because … well … isn’t it meant to be for all of us?? Isn’t that implicit in its meaning?? If people of certain races don’t feel safe or included in LGBTQ+ spaces, that’s a bigger problem that isn’t going to be solved with some flag colors.
I’m also pretty damn sure that Trans and Intersex people are meant to be included under the general pride flag as well.
I don’t really like where we’re headed, with ultra-specific flags for every little nuance, and then if you want a general flag, it has to be made extra explicit and miss the whole point of having an inclusive icon.
Welcome to my tumblr page. I originally made
this account to post what ever art I made but I'm lazy so that doesn't
happen that often. I do use this account to track follow artists that I
like and reblog pictures that I think are neat. I also occasionally post
and reblog non-art stuff if I find it interesting. And music. I really
like to listen to music.I'm also know around the net as Dark-Edge, Speedy_Fox_IV, and MachThreeSlug. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this but I also happen to be Australian.
