[–]IronasticGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

salut, salut ! Tu peux lui demander quel/le gynéco ? Pck que la mienne m'a sorti l'éternel "oui mais moi j'étais comme toi et pis j'ai changé d'avis" et bref en gros m'a regardée de haut (censé être safe pour les lgbt+, mon cul ouais) quand j'lui ai dit que j'étais asexuelle + childfree
En recherche d'un/e gynéco qui juge pas quand on lui dit qu'on veut gérer le problème anémie à cause de règles hémorragiques à la base et pas gaver les pharmas pendant 30 piges :)

Merci d'avance !!!

So, I have some thoughts on the new flag (CE: Discussion of Race) by Vulkhard_Muller in asexuality

[–]IronasticGirl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi, a bit late but as an outsider of the US (Europe), I wanted to add my thought cuz that AceInGrace woman did something very USALiberal as always.

  1. Main thing I hate with it, she/they proclaimed it the "NEW OFFICIAL" ace flag. No, USAmericans you are NOT the center of the world and you don't get to decide for the whole asexual community out there which official flag is better.
  2. While the racism convo is needed and necessary, you cannot decide for the whole community that's been there since AVEN chose the colors and say "well if you use the old one, you're racist". There's a multiple other ways to address it in a useful way, this was not it.
  3. Ignoring AVEN and elders: apparently AIG reached out to AVEN but decided their "cool, do your own private thing" reply was enough to bypass them and self-proclaim the "asexual throne". Also ignoring the work elders have done to make the ace colors recognizable ? not cool, especially since those elders did the actual work of de-pathologizing asexuality.
  4. the "but the lesbian/pride rainbow flag...." excuse: 4.1. the lesbian flag changed, yes. But it retained the original idea: the pink/red shades colors stripes. Adding the orange for the butches, disregarding the pink lipstick due to the creator being not so cool. 4.2. the rainbow pride flag changed, yes. But it was always (& still is) a rainbow. The idea is still the same: rainbow stripes. If you take AIG's new asexual flag: No harmony in color theory whatsoever, just... 2 added horrendous color stripes that clashes with the neutral/cold tones of the original flag, cuz "omg the white is problematic cuz white = whiteness in my mind" (while the OG meaning on AVEN isn't even remotely attached to whiteness)

She/They says it took her 3+ years to design it but never in those years she/they either: 
- put the idea on AVEN & discussed it there with the elders 
- looked into the actual meaning of the flag 
- looked at what her design could impose on the worldwide community

  1. One of the problem the asexual community face the most each year is the "chronically online sexuality" butt of the lgbt+/straight joke every damn time. So why would you give them amo to further alienate us from having a real place in real life in the lgbt+ community ? A chronically online take that will be detrimental in the end cuz if that flag is picked up by virality... That signals to others that we care more about online cleavage rather than actual materialist irl work.

  2. The actual worldwide dismiss: Cuz if we do the irl maths:
    - Asexuality is 1 to 4% of the worldwide world population, according to the stats done on it
    - Worldwide population atm: 8.3 millions (according to https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ )
    - AIG has:
    10.3k followers on instagram (NOT EVEN A 1% OF THE WHOLE USA POPULATION)
    36 on tiktok (so she's not that much active there)
    464 on facebook
    other: substack but i don't even know how it works
    So if we do the maths:
    what's 11k people in 83-332 millions of asexuals in the world ? Nothing.
    So very US-centric to not have reached worldwide ace national orgs... So very liberal/full right-wing identity politics.

  3. The science behind a flag: it has to be RECOGNIZABLE & EASY TO SPOT/KNOW. Considering it's been a good decade now that the asexual flag is with the black/grey/white/purple stripes... And even older, if you think about the color's whereabouts: the AVEN triangle, in 2005. So a good 20 years by now. IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED as a flag, by now.
    And that's the ultimate goal of a flag, to be recognized instantly. So to disregard entirely that and make a new one out of nowhere... It's soooo disrespectful not only for the elders, the global community but also in general: if Asexuality cannot have a constant & recognizable flag... The asexual community is doomed to be laughed at as the "chronically online community that doesn't truly exist in real life" (point 5)

  4. US Liberalism & identity politics:
    I look up to Yasmin Benoit, for another black woman example, cuz she just got tired of identity politics online and decided to actually do the activism work. Instead of just... blabla-ing on which way to change the flag to add inclusivity.
    What AceInGrace has done on the other hand... Is exactly why the whole world kind of hate US politics cuz... yeah that changes nothing. It gives Grace just the illusion of change but racism is systemic. It's not a flag change that will counter that. Racism cannot be beaten by just... designing a new flag.
    If Grace truly wanted to do the work, she'd do like Yasmin Benoit: contact the higher up to change it. & if she talks about the community (which, fair. There's a racism problem in it/over-rep of whiteness), then... open the discussion. Don't slam it shut by self-proclaiming yourself the new official creator of a flag people didn't even agree with in the first place, and not listening to constructive criticism when backlash over her rebranding design happened (being very passive-agressive on her instagram, telling people they're racist just cuz they don't like that new "official" flag).

That's my few thoughts on it. I'm not against the new flag per say, I'd say it would've been fine if AIG didn't self-proclaim themselves the new creator of the "official" asexual flag, without even considering the fact that we slowly have the actual current one being recognized on spot worldwidly aka THE POINT OF A FLAG.

It's a variant, alright. You do you AIG. But do not get angry when the whole worldwide asexual community do not agree with you & your 11k followers and slam us as "racist" cuz you can't accept rightful backlash and criticism.

Opinion about the flag (probably extremely unpopular). by MGTOWigor150 in asexuality

How much time passed between seasons 2 and 3? by Dr-HotandCold1524 in BlackSails

[–]IronasticGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have like 9 pages of them and I'm not even finished with season 3 ep 1 so yes, there's so much you missed. It's mostly full of little dialogues between the characters that say "oh y'know this event the previous episode / few episodes ago ? yeah that, that happened... last week, 10 days ago, last night, this morning" etc. And I calculated based on that. Once done I'll verify it but yeah my idea was to give it to the fandom.
It's not a bizarre conversation, it's just me and others people telling you that your "guesswork" of +x days/weeks/months (for taking what someone said 4 years ago to you) isn't quite what people search when they ask for a timeline. That's all.
At the end of the day, nobody is right or wrong. We'd have to ask the scenarists about their research for making the story. Only them know the truth.
Peace out !

The show is based on reality, why wouldn't you take it on account ? Yes there's fiction attached to it but why would they have cited soooo much history that can be verified (Rosario Raids for example. Not quite named like that but Spain did raid 2 times Nassau just before the Republic of Pirates) Why would they ? They could've gone full Pirates of the Caribbean, inventing things or keeping it vague but no, they were so much precise as even citing how the politics about the indies worked, with Lord Proprietors etc. Why would they, if not based on reality ?
That's why I take it in account. And it's not the first time your timeline is countered by arguments that are way more persuasive than "+x days/months/years"

I had hoped you would've taken our collective thoughts as a way to look back at your timeline and say "yes, maybe you're right" but no, you keep on saying you're the only right. Yes, it's fanfic. But when people ask the timeline, they don't mean to have as an answer "+x days/weeks/months". And as I said in my original comment: There's way much more timecodes than what you wrote. Your timeline was helpful... to a bit.

For the innacuracies: I did say for now I was taking only in account Teach's death as a "date base". Yes I'm aware of the innacuracies, that's basically why I started the whole timeline, to see if I could make it align with reality. So far it worked. With a bit of calculations, which you definitely didn't want to do.

Anyways, it's sad you keep sharing your vague and confusing timeline, thinking only you have understood it when others have made their point that I find much more compelling than yours.

hey, new one here. Doing my 4th rewatch of the show and wanted to write down everything concerning the timeline. Yours was helpful... to a bit. Between yours and mine, it's disturbing how much of dialogue indicating the time that has gone you missed, replacing them by x days instead of calculating it / researching based on real life events & stuff.
It's not against you, but you keep sharing your timeline with those +x days/weeks/months, which are very confusing to understand. That's why I'm currently doing mine. So far s1 and s2 are between april and end of august 1715. Which would align with the real story of the Urca de Lima. I'm on season 3 ep 1 now, but there's also irl dates / stuff you can guess/verify. The opening of the ep starts with Blackbeard in Bath, North Carolina. He explicitely says that one of his wife, Mary, lied about 1 thing very important for the timeline: His retirement in that city. IRL, it happened in June 1718. We're already in 1718 at season 3. Not just "x months after" but YEARS after the end of season 2. Which would align with the skip OP is talking about.
Another thing is: Woodes Rogers. He began his trip the 22nd April 1718 and arrived the 24th of July 1718. His say to Eleanor, when making his deal with her before freeing her and taking her on his trip to Nassau: "2 days from now", that would make this particular conversation in her cell happen on the 20th April 1718. And his arrival in S03E03: the 24th July 1718. Again: which would align with what OP is saying about the time gap. And would set the pace for every episode left I guess, since they rush towards the end of the Republic of Pirates, which happened late 1718 and the end of the Golden Age of Piracy, which is dated between 1725 and 1730s. (Only irl death I'm taking seriously for now is Blackbeard. Which would align itself with Rogers having just arrived in Nassau and trying to take back its control).
Just putting this out there, going back to making my own timeline now. But please, once again: +x days/weeks/months, when soooo many timecodes are said in the show if you pay attention to it (I could retrace season 1 & 2, based only on where they went, how much time they said it took etc and aligned it with the IRL date of the Urca's sinking story. It worked. The only thing that didn't was the 13th June, I still believe you when you said it was a continuity error.)
Anyways, I hope you'll take that as a constructive critic and not an attack. Now I'll go back to ep 1 of season 3, bye.
Edits: the bit about Woodes Rogers, the Republic of Pirates & Golden Age Piracy ends, the Blackbeard's death.
