pride month doesn't own the colors, nor does the queer community. we mean, if you're curious, we could tell you what each color on the various flags symbolize, but in our experience, most people don't like hearing people talk about vexillology within oppressed groups for hours. and we'll do it too! if anyone asks us to, they WILL regret it.

the reason pride month exists, if you don't know, is because the people that pride month celebrates are usually oppressed the rest of the time. the fact that a whole month can exist at all is really crazy. it exists in SPITE of those who would rather it didn't. being able to celebrate themselves is a privilege they worked very hard for many decades to earn.

yes, rainbow capitalism sucks, but not because of token characters. it's because they rarely understand the thing they're writing. having diversity is normal everywhere. and sometimes people want to write stories with em in it.

nah, we queers don't own the colors. they're eye grabbing, but that's the point. people can't just pretend we don't exist when we show ourselves.

besides, you straights get the entire rest of the year! and you get the VAST majority of romantic fiction! let us have fun! it's like mardi gras.

I am aware why pride month exists, I am aware what some of the flags that represents it. It’s just that it feels like it. It’s just… if there is a character that has white, light blue, bright pink colors, people will automatically grab that character as trans even if it was not intended.

which characters are you thinking of? the only ones we really know about are bridget guilty gear and vivian paper mario. and they both ended up being correct on that. so, idk.

Bridget had too much controversy involved to get to the bottom of it.

A random moron saw the eye color a character on either Star Rail or genshin and decided that character is trans as if it was obvious.

The only complaint I have with this year's pride month is that my local 7-11's hotdog buns look disgusting with all the messed up 'rainbow' food coloring attempt.

I don't know whose bright mind's idea this is, but I can't buy my usual 7-11 Quick Bite coz of the colors.

My baker sense is tingling.
