omg I'm gonna sound like a horrible person when I say this Putting your pride flag on your pfp is incredibly overrated Listen, I think it's fine to put your identity on your pf. That's perfectly okay and almost encouraged. But your pfp has one ducking use: TO SHOW YOUR PERSONALITY Your s.xuality is very little of you. An important part of you, but its very insignificant in the whole tapestry being your identity. I once saw someone who's own pfp was a pride flag, their user was the pride flag, and all their projects were about their identity. I told them smth like "your s.xuality is only part of your identity" and they replied with another part of their identity... That also pertained to that. Let's say their pfp was the pan flag and their user was "pans3xualparty" or something corny like that, and all their projects are about pan representation or pan bingos. I tell them there's much more than their s.xuality, and they reply with "I'm also trans" THATS LIKE TELLING SOMEONE TO LIKE SOMETHING BESIDES CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES AND THEY SAY THEY LIKE SUGAR COOKIES LIKE THATS NOT MY POINT also just generally getting unnecessarily defensive. Now, if you're attacked, the logical step is to defend. But if they offend you, don't tell them... horrible things and stalk them just to annoy them and report them (though reporting is logical, and you should do if you're getting super duper attacked.) But... seriously. I once referenced a meme, that was, well, pronouned. It was a very popular one. And some GUY I WASNT EVEN TALKING TO SAID "why are you assuming my pronouns" or smth like that If youre reading the is you're good I don't hate you Like oh my God, once off this platform I referred to someone as a they. They is often used as a gender neutral word for when youre not sure what their pronouns are. And this kid attacked me saying that I'm assuming his pronouns and made a whole essay. BOY NOT EVERYTHING IS AN ATTACK to further prove my point, I went to an lgbtq+ safe space just to mentally clown on people (I want you to know that I have a high risk of sociopathy) And this guy just said "Jesus loves you!" Perfectly innocent! A Christian wants to tell the community that they're respected? Now, how do kids that barely understand their s.xuality respond? They attack them. If ya didn't know Christians are often homophobes, but dang a lot of Christians are woke everyone I want y'all to know that
PS. I am not homophobic and am even part of the community myself. This is not to attack the group, this is simply against the... shenanigans of some misguided individuals Just realized none of this has to do with my original argument, ignore that
