Which pan flag is the right one please I don't want to mess it up

THIS is the real pansexual flag we've been using for years:

bright pink, yellow, and blue stripes. this is the actual one.

THIS however, is made by mspec lesbian exclusionists and purity culture obsessed twt users:

dont use this or any other "new" pan flag they try to fucking make. its not our flag. its never been our fucking flag. as a pansexual i fucking hate everyone who uses this or tries to get content creators to support this. fuck exclusionists.

okay finally writing this bc its hit that point in the night/morning where i regained the energy to rewrite this but. can we please talk about the habit of people using scars/physical disabilities to make a character scary in this fandom?

like with, say, tubbo, not too bad! hes such a likable character that generally his scars are just drawn as a part of him, often horror pieces with him focus on other aspects like the nukes or him living by the woods or the fact that he died for those scars. all fine as far as i can see

....and then theres quackity. who is a canonically half blind character with an obvious scar. and people use it to make him *scary*. artists, both visual and textual, exaggerate the scar, describe the unnervingness of his fanonically blue eye (which, the subject of giving a mexican person a blue eye just because hes half blind when thats not how blindness works is.. hm), even sometimes describing it as a glass eye (meaning using the prosthetic as a reason to be unnerved by him). they give it otherworldly properties, they make it like a 777 machine to symbolize his greed and want for power, they make it into a void on his face, a glitch, a poker chip, whatever.

and let me say- that shit should really stop flying. i get the intents of people who do this, really, i do! i dont think the people who do this are ableist, but. dont use scars for horror. dont use physical disabilities as a way to make a character more terrifying. please. quackity can be scary and unnerving on his own, you can do it without resorting to "disability/scars scary", i promise. i havent seen it happen to other physically disabled characters yet (except for michael_beloved but ive talked abt my distaste w horror including him before), but im gonna take that as a blessing

(note- while i agree this shouldnt be done for mental illness either, this is about physical disability and i want it to stay focused on physical disability because ive seen ppl talk about the horrification of mental illness but not abt physical disability, not in this fandom anyways. however, feel free to make your own post or find posts from people who talk about the habit of using mental illness as horror in the dsmp fandom)

The murder of Palestinian children and ethnic cleansing of Palestinian communities is being supported by the US. Americans' taxes are funding these atrocities.

Please include Palestinians in your activism 🇵🇸❤️

Our hearts go out to Saeed Odeh's family, to the residents of Sheikh Jarrah & Silwan resisting ethnic cleansing, and to every Palestinian in exile waiting to return to their homeland 🇵🇸❤️🕊

This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen

Though the jokes that "since gay pride month is over, july is now gay wrath month" are funny and all, it's important to remember that July is ACTUALLY Disability Pride Month and ya'll should really be focused on boosting disabled voices and issues this month! For instance, the fact that marriage equality doesn't actually truly exist in the United States for disabled people, or the fact that disabled people are forced to live in poverty or lose their disability benefits, or the fact that 1 in 5 people with chronic pain end up sufferring from alcoholism or other addictions, or how accessibility is still a daily battle for all of us, or how there are active hate groups on places like reddit who try to "call out" those they see as "faking" their disabilities.

This July, boost disabled voices. Talk about the issues that our community faces. Call out ableism.
