July is Disability Pride Month. The first Disability Pride started in Boston, MA in 1990 but it has since become an international celebration. The aim of Disability Pride is described by the founders of Disability Pride NYC to “promote inclusion, awareness, and visibility of people with disabilities, and redefine public perception of disability”.
The Disability Pride flag has some very interesting symbolism interpreted by the artist which include:
The Black Field: this field is to represent the disabled people who have lost their lives due to not only their illness, but also negligence, suicide, and eugenics.
The Lightning Bolt: the shape of the lightning bold represent the non-lateral lives that many disabled people live, often having to adapt themselves or their physical routes to get around an inaccessible society.
The Colours: each colour on this flag represents a different aspect of disability or impairment:
Blue: mental illness
Yellow: cognitive and intellectual disabilities
Green: sensory perception disabilities
Red: physical disabilities

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.

Guys, look. They finally made a baby stroller for wheelchair-bound mothers. This is so important.
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)
