This month and all year long we take #Pride in creating spaces and stories for Everypony, by Everypony. #PrideMonth
“The rainbow flag “reboot” is a triumph for inclusiveness—and a design disaster”, Anne Quito for Quartz, 12 June 2018
NB: My post is more about the new Pride flag, not the fact that they included the transexual colors in the word “Everypony” here
Thinking back about it, you’re right, i dont like the inclusions of the new colors in the pride flags ,it’s not about the symbol ,it’s purely about aesthetic. You already had the symbol of inclusion, the rainbow that is known as a prism of every color mixing together but oh no the brown and black color are not explicitly present so suddenly the rainbow is not inclusive enough ? Enjoy the symbolism of a motherfucking rainbow before splitting airs on a fucking non-issue. I’m a leftist myself and it’s getting hard to deny the times wasted by the progressives over non-issues like the colors of the Pride flag or Cleveland Brown not being dubbed by a black actor
Okay, that’s definitely redundant.
Well they don’t now, but who knows what excitement awaits us in the next generation?
The black and brown striped are to represent people on the LGBT spectrum who are also black and/or part of another ethnic minority group
What do the two stripes in between mean?
The rainbow flag is often used as the LGBT umbrella flag, but it’s not always considered to be that. It was originally designed to be a gay flag specifically, though it’s viewed as broader these days. Essentially, the rainbow part of the flag represents the sexual and romantic attraction aspect of LGBT and the trans colors represent gender identity aspect. Adding them is specifically a direct response to a wave of queer people and queer supporting people who want to exclude trans people and go back to just being the LGB community (which did used to be the acronym some thirty years ago before the T was added).
No bro gotta be inclusive
I’m betting on flaming homesexuality.
I mean, you don’t care when there’s straight relationships? Why are gay ones act different?
Yes,in a way you kinda did by watching the show IMO.Maybe i worded that uncorrectly since English is not my first language but what i meant by that is that by watching a show made for little girl, in a way you (consciously or unconsciously) accepted some (for a lack of a better word) girly part of yourself like all of us here. I dont mean by that that you eschewed all your masculine side btw or that you started to collect dolls or that you dedicated yourself entirely to feminism but you still accepted to watch a show about technicolor ponies without going all “ew gay”.Such a thing would have been unthinkable 20 years earlier
I grew up through all prejudice that I had thanks to a friend into this show, but there was not “straight white male embracing something girly” part for me, i like the show, but never saw beyond the friendship stuff, i understand people can find something i cant see in it, but MLP doesnt have to become tumblr nor twitter nor the fandom itself, nowdays a flag its a position and whaever color you choose there will always be people with other flag. its the human condition.
about the last part, personaly, sometimes if feels like i’m that minority without saying i am.
I hope this comment doesnt get delete, please?
???
Yes ? That was never an issue, last gen ended up with Pinkie having a kid with Cheese Sandwich
I get the concern giving the nature of the brony fandom and our whole “straight white male embracing something girly” schtick,evidently that would give mixed messages if they went through a caricatural Tumblr-esque condemanation of “the straights” but that wont happen because (and i hope i’ll shock nobody saying this) heterosexuality is not a persecuted minority
You can’t do that, it’s disgusting. I’ll accept black and that blue, but brown? It’s too warm to mix with that color. It’s black-brown-red for a reason.
Edited
Please let it be this.It’s like that Key and Peele skit with the two gay guys,the flamboyant asshole and the subdued serious one, we should have gay characters that are not token caricature dont scream under every roof that “they take it up the ass, bright eyes uh uh (wrist flick)” IMO good representation came with dropping the Gay Pride leather fruit gimmick and being more like Mitch, the redheaded bulky guy in Paranorman
Oh no they have a duck badge that means their opinion is invalid because a Derpi mod’s opinion is always correct
Ah,very good ironic comm-
(see the duck badge)
(see description of the badge)
Oh
Oh
Oh nooooo….
that can’t be good
Ah, the proto European flag
@Krickis
Personal opinion but a cartoon about technicolor ponies who all are the best friends is probably not the most incongruous choice for shoehorning gay stuff. I mean think about it ,that’s expected when people have been calling your IP “the most gayest shit on Earth” since the 80s
