Hi! I'm Violet. So, I've coined a little term called Ethiqueer. In short, it stands for Ethical Queer, which aims to help people who may have made poor decisions in the past recover from them and heal. We strive to make the world a better place and give voices to those who need it.
This term means a lot to us, and we've put tons of time into it, trying to get everything perfect. Not everything is set in stone, and we're more than happy to hear everyone's opinion on what should be added, removed, or changed. We're genuinely interested in what's best for everyone and what can help people feel safer in our community. That said, do let me introduce our stances.
What we are in support of (+) ﹒Furries, Otherkin, Therians, Alterhumans, Transspecies, ETC. ﹒EDUCATED self-diagnoses ﹒All people can recover, even those with "The Big 3" paraphilias. If they are trying to recover, encourage them, do not tell them to die ﹒Recovery. People deserve second chances ﹒Mass reporting of harmful people (Whether it be an anti-recovery radqueer, predator, groomer, ETC. We should be reporting rather than harassing them) ﹒All forms of Queer / LGBT+ (This does not include transids or other radqueer ideologies. Those can rot in a ditch) ﹒To be cringe is to be free. Don't let people stop you from being who you are. You're awesome, and I'm proud of you ﹒Destigmatization of non-sexual nudity (Such as in art) ﹒Helping people find proper education and learn how to be better ﹒Abortion, Freedom of Speech, Feminism ﹒Speaking out against those who are harmful or making bad choices ﹒Justice for those who were wronged ﹒CONSENTUAL kink, paraphilias, and fetishes ﹒Living your life how you desire, provided you are not harming anyone or yourself in the process What we are against (-) ﹒Radqueers, Xenosatanists, MOST TransIDs ﹒Contradictory Labels (Specifically male lesbians and female gay men; I can go deeper into this if asked) ﹒Endogenics, Willogenics, any type of 'non-traumagenic system' ﹒Pro / Darkshippers, Lolicons + Shotacons, ETC. ﹒Those with harmful paraphilias that are not seeking help and looking to recovery, as well as those who are pro-contact harmful paras ﹒AI users, racists, homophobes / transphobes, antisemitists, ETC. ﹒Harassment of any kind ﹒Religious discrimination (We ourselves are Satanists AND Hellenic Polytheists, as well as have beliefs outside of that. We're happy to share if asked) ﹒Non-consentual actions, coercion, or doing things you know the other person will not like / approve of ﹒Transspecies + Transgender being treated as RQ terms ﹒Bigotry, Truscum, Transmeds ﹒Adult Attracted Minors / Minor Attracted People ﹒Sexualization of age regression and pet regression (Such as DDLG / MDLB, Dualcom, Ageplay, Petplay, ETC.)
Onto the symbolism, lads. Ethiqueer is consistantly represented by the seedling and scale emojis,(🌱⚖️) which to us represent constant growth, change, & recovery, as well as freedom, balance / equality, justice, and education. These are all things that we feel strongly for, and we're proudly open and loud about them. The flag, believe it or not, represents things as well. While it seems plain, there are reasons we designed it the way we do. Let me explain;
SHADES OF RED ,, The shades of red represent the fact that change looks different in everyone, that time can help people grow & be better people. Recovery doesn't look the same for everyone, and the shades show that.
RAINBOW SCALE ,, This symbolizes queer acceptance in society, equal rights, gay marriage, and things of a similar variety. The reason for it being slightly transparent is to show a lack of these things. All over the world, we are not socially accepted, and we should be. We need to fight for this.
The only thing that doesn't really have a meaning is the circle in which the scale sits on. I mostly added it so it'd look nicer, and I'll be fully open about that. It took hours to figure out how I wanted to design my flag, and I'm genuinely happy with how it turned out, as am I happy about how my term has turned out so far. I look forward to seeing how my little community will grow and provide a safe space for people.
< Stamp Borders made by @/cheriisoda / everything else made by me > If I may mention, our friend coined Stonedqueer, which we adore, and heavily agree with the principles of. Go check it out, as we think if you like our term, you'll like theirs as well. Do also go check out the blog for the term Cleanqueer, as it's one of the terms that inspired us and has some fantastic views that we love! Thank you to both of these people that have allowed us to mention them :)
