Love is in the Air....


(Source- and additional Valentine's here!)




Edit: I have updated the rules:

ADDENDUM TO RULE THREE (3): Because I do NOT want another instance of shit that happened this month, and the shit that happened in @anonrising, Fandom Politics are NOT ALLOWED. This includes, but is not limited to:
  •          Anime
  •          Fanfiction/Fanart 
  •         Anti/Proshipping war bullshit      
*These subjects almost inevitably bring up Anti/Proship bullshit and there are folks on both sides who might be triggered by certain content, or feel dismissed by various argument points on both sides. As a result, THEY ARE  NOT ALLOWED. This site is for DRAGON DRAMA, not your Pro/Anti shipping bullshit. Take it to fandomwank or fandom_secrets or whatever other platform they're using nowadays.

i do get the request basis in general, but for the first letter of lgbt when adding in other roles/flags? for the flag that is most often forgotten? for such a common orientation? there's lesbians in all my discords, man, if this discord has more than a few people they should expect to have lesbians in the chat. the L, G, B, T roles/flags should've been no-brainers. consider me unimpressed.

(& if they really didn't have lesbians in the chat prior: why didn't they actively make their space welcoming by adding the role/flag?)

i'm not super invested in this or anything. i don't expect excellent moderation/management on a fan server, either. but this is definitely an oversight by that discord's management.

No one asked for it so why make it? It’s not that deep.

The acronym is literally LGBT/LGBTQ/LGBTQIA+, those are the ones most people know.

"there's lesbians in all my discords, man, if this discord has more than a few people they should expect to have lesbians in the chat."

Exactly. It's unheard of for an LGBTQ discord to not have any lesbian representation, unless it legitimately has like 10 members.

LGBT flags are standard if they were gonna have flags in the first place. Not "we'll wait for someone to ask for it lol" (and when someone did, it apparently spawned 300 comments' worth of arguing? Why?). Those flags are a given. Like I would be suspicious if I walked into my GSA meeting and all the flags were there except the lesbian one.

AYRT
I’m not in the server so I have no idea what actually goes on in there, but the impression I got from the original suggestion to add the lesbian role was that there was already an LGBT role and they wanted them to add a lesbian role specifically because LGBT was exclusive to lesbians?
That’s the part that didn’t make sense to me, but would also explain why people hadn’t requested it earlier

Sorry I said exclusive to lesbians but I meant it excludes lesbians*

I think they said something like rainbow flag is mostly for “mlm” and it feels like they’re being excluded

once again lesbians are forgotten about and told to be happy with crumbs we get. I'm in a discord server of 8 people and we have a lesbian gay bisexual and trans role even though none of us are trans and we only have one bisexual. the bisexual didnt need to ask for her role to be made and were ready if we ever have a trans member.
really this entire thing is a mess but it does follow an unsurprising trend of lesbians being forgotten about and forced to remind people of existence

Y'all still have more visibility than trans men! If we get attention, we're infantilized or called "confused butch lesbians."

Still- weary fist bump.

nayrt

lesbians and trans men both get shit, i don't think it's appropriate to play "who has it worse" or to respond to "we're often forgotten/overlooked" with "but others have it worse"

Yeah it's appalling that people are responding to this as though OP was asking for a straight or white "pride" flag.
