anyways ace people need to stop using this flag bc it has antisemetic roots and the creator was very homophobic
i’m a jewish ace lesbian btw so i 100% think it’s my place to critique a flag thats harmful towards me
besides the creators homophobia, the reason the flag is harmful is because it comes from the AVEN triangle. it was made to try to “reclaim” the triangle that was put on gay people in the holocaust. many aces will justify it by saying gay people reclaimed it as well, but +
it is not being used anymore. in fact, lesbians stopped using the labrys flag years ago. i’m trying to come up with a design thats similar to the aro flag that doesn’t include the purple/white/grey/black of the AVEN a triangle.
reiterating that i am ace and have identified as such for years, but here’s the old meanings if anyone is curious
i’m muting this bc i’m not getting half of the notifications anyways and i’m kinda tired of reiterating my points
