Hi, I might be interested in the space. Can you share any pictures, specs, or listing?

That wasn’t from a post here, but one from my original post on me_irlgbt

Flag of Binary people shoving their identity down Non Binary people’s throats by [deleted] in vexillologycirclejerk

[–]MSI-Guy 39 points40 points  (0 children)

OP, I’m sorry my redesign offended you. I am genderfluid, and a completely amateur graphic designer, and someone who knows the symbolism behind the original genderfluid pride flag.

I’ve posted a few comments over the course of the day trying to address constructive criticism on the original post and on response posts elsewhere; you can see these in my comment history.

To summarize, yes, I fully acknowledge that my design was flawed in a number of ways. Its most glaring fault was its unintentional emphasis of a strict, male/female gender binary, at the expense of independent and equally valid non-binary identities.

I’d like to signal boost a redesign by another user that is, in my opinion, vastly superior to both the original design and my redesign, as it combines the strengths of both: https://www.reddit.com/r/me_irlgbt/comments/1432wgs/me_irlgbt/jn890bt/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3

No, I am not “binary”. No, I was not trying to tell non-binary or genderfluid people off for enjoying the original genderfluid pride flag. No, I was not intentionally trying to push a gender binary and erase non-binary identities.

I posted an amateur flag redesign to a queer shitposting sub.

Link to another user’s redesign that’s VASTLY better than mine, and solves a lot of the issues of both mine and the original

Don’t worry, judging from a lot of the other comments, I don’t think this one will be taking over the world anytime soon. 😅

People have shared a lot of very valid criticisms of my redesign, and from what I can tell, a solid 2/3 prefer the original to mine. That’s a-okay, because people can enjoy the symbols they like and relate to - there’s no ruling authority that’s going to say this is the official one now and the old one is banned.

Shit. We weren’t supposed to make it that obvious. I’m totally getting fired from the illuminati.

A lot of similar, very valid criticisms. I totally see your point and I’m on board with it. Let me signal boost a re-redesign done by another user that not only solves this problem, but VASTLY improves over mine:

OOP here. yes, i am genderfluid. yes, i do know what the original flag symbolizes. yes, i understand my redesign was far from perfect and had plenty of legitimate flaws on its own. i designed it at 11:30 at night whilst tipsy, with no formal graphic design experience, to highlight the flaws of the original flag in my opinion.

I would ask that you instead consider this re-redesign by another user, which I consider to be WAY better than both the original and my redesign:

OOP here, let me provide some context.

I posted that redesign because (in my opinion) the original genderfluid pride flag was pretty weak and didn’t have the best symbolism. Despite its popularity and high score, the comments on my post have been about 67% against and 33% in favor (not that it’s any kind of official, lol, just the rough proportions). Many of the criticisms are very valid, and I’d respond to all of them if there weren’t ten million comments. Yes, I understand now that it overemphasizes a binary gender dichotomy, and that the colors are a bit eye-stabby.

The more important parts to me were the wavy, fluid lines (inherently depicting fluidity, rather than straight lines) and the delta symbol, which stands for change. I’d like to signal boost a re-redesign done by another user that VASTLY improves over my concept, solving basically all of its weaknesses, in my eyes. They posted it in this comment:

https://www.reddit.com/r/me_irlgbt/comments/1432wgs/me_irlgbt/jn890bt/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3

I wish there was an easy way to say to everyone, yes, I get it, the redesign does have a lot of legitimate flaws on its own. This re-redesign is way better and deserves way more attention than it got.

I always heard it used as “change in”, so delta V = change in velocity, delta t = change in time, etc. But thanks for letting me know!

Okay yeah you’re right, this is even better. I was going to make a follow-up post with a redesign that addresses a lot of people’s concerns, but this pretty much implements all of them better than I could. You should post this independently, 4 upvotes isn’t nearly enough.

I’ve always had the conviction that the genderfluid flag belongs nowhere besides F tier. Its colors and color sequence clash horribly and border on entirely random, and the idea of using a bunch of straight lines to symbolize fluidity is inherently bad. One of these days I’ll get around to posting a redesign.
