the new ace flag
Ive been made aware of the redesign of the ace flag and I have some thoughts
DISCLAIMER!!
I do not mean to be mean to the creator or anyone who like this flag, this should and may read as a rant and this is heavily biased as someone who is aro and ace and doesn’t like to much change in these sort of things
please keep this in mind if you keep reading
I personally dislike the redesigned ace flag (that is what I will be calling it) for many reasons but the main one is the fact that it puts love as a main point for some of the colour choices which I feel is a choice that alienates some of the people in this minority as a aroace person myself this is heavily biased but I came across the redesign while scrolling and reading through the meaning of the colours chosen put a feeling in my gut that I can’t really explain but it wasn’t a nice feeling. I don’t understand why there was a redesign in the first place personally as the original flag looked pretty personally and after searching up the meaning behind the colours of the ace flag felt that we just had to change the meaning of the white in the flag to make it less about the allies. I am again saying this heavily biased but I don’t think we needed to add the yellow even if it is my favorite colour it doesn’t fit the colour scheme that the rest of the flag sets and I feel like some people might be asking “oh but what about the polysexual flag or any other flag that you can think of” to that I say the colors made sense and for the polysexual flag in particular the colours are actually anologous on the colour wheel so they do actually look good together.
I’m ending the rant here because I think I’ve ranted for to long and I feel if I keep going I’ll never stop but my main point I guess boils down to I don’t want to only use the sunset aroace flag and would like to be able to use just the normal ace flag without feeling like all of the people who are ace but also have little to no feelings of love don’t feel excluded
(I’m sorry if I’ve worded anything wierd English may be my first language but it sucks ass and I hate it)
