Soo, perhaps controversial opinion? But I stand my ground on it...
If you create something to be used in a certain way online, and people want to use it in that way, you shouldn't really have the right to exlude people from using it.
"I coined this term for systems with a lot of nonhuman fictives, ENDOS/SUPPORTERS DON'T USE IT!!!"
"I made these pretty dinosaur dividers for anyone to use, PROSHIPPERS DON'T USE IT!!!!"
"I made a flag for queer people, ASEXUALS DON'T USE IT!!!!"
I do not care sir, that term? That divider? that flag? That whatever? As long as I'm using it for its intended purpose, it is not up to you what beliefs I do or do not carry, you created that thing to aid, define or comfort people. If it aids, defines or comforts me? I'm using it.
"But but its my creation-" making a name for a feeling isnt your creation, it's coining, that doesnt mean you created it, should you be credited if asked who coined it? Yes, should you be able to now own that order of letters or that expirience? No.
Choosing 7 existing colors and putting them in stripes into one image doesn't make it your creation, you simply assembled it, should you be credited if asked who designed it? Yes, should you be able to now control that pallete or color order? No.
Creating, editing or cropping an image for the sole purpose of it being used for free by people you don't know on the internet? That concept isn't new, and YES once again you should be credited if someone asks who made/edited/cropped these spesific graphics, but you cannot control or demand that certain people of certain groups of beliefs not use it if they are using it exactly for the reason you created it.
"But but but-" I don't care, I stand my ground firmly on this opinion and frankly I'm not here to debate that but to just share that view and/or why you may spot me using graphics, terms or flags that I've been senselessly "excluded" from.
(I have no DNI other then that if I fit your DNI, don't interact with me.)
