Cleanqueer is an identity focusing on anti-harassment pro-recovery that acknowledges the harm caused by Pro/Darkship, Radqueer, and anacent communities and seeks to encourage those people to find help and get better.
⚠️ Be aware it’s possible this post could go through (minor) changes in the future. Reblogs keep the version that was reblogged, so the original post is the most reliable. More info below the cut -
｡˚○The bluegreen color represents healing. Green invokes healing, and blue invokes education and calmness; mixing these two represents healing and education about doing so. It is also associated with cleanliness.
｡˚○The pink color represents queerness and healthy sexuality. ｡˚○The rainbow in the middle is a lighter and more blurred version of the radnormal flag. Cleanqueer is a bit like a cousin of radnormal. It is somewhat inspired by the label and is connected to it, though there are some significant differences. ｡˚○The white color also associated with cleanliness. Together, the bluegreen, pink, and white are reminiscent of the trans flag! ｡˚○The white part of the flag can also be replaced with the flag of whatever someone is recovering from. For example, a healing radqueer would replace the white with the radqueer flag.

TLDR; The most important being the first three and the very last, which can be understood by just reading first sentence of each respective paragraph.
｡˚○Cleanqueer is Anti-Harassment. Cleanqueer believes it is wrong to tell someone to get assaulted, hurt themselves in any way, or that they deserve bad things happening to them for any reason. ｡˚○Cleanqueer is empathetic to Proshippers, Radqueers, and adjacent communities. Cleanqueer understands that most people in these communities are vulnerable people who were groomed into these communities and have addictions to this content, and acknowledges how isolating and harmful these communities are. That said, cleanqueer is NOT supportive of those who have knowingly harmed others in extreme cases such as grooming and rape. ｡˚○Cleanqueer understands that Pedophilia, Zoophilia, Necrophilia, and other harmful Paraphilias that involve non consenting individuals are disorders, are involuntary, and that people who have them ALL deserve help. That being said, it does not believe in forced institutionalization unless absolutely, 100% necessary (not everyone who expresses a disorder should be legally forced into an institution, however if someone is actively harming others, there is not another option). ｡˚○Cleanqueer believes in rehabilitative justice, even for people who have committed the worst crimes imaginable, because no person deserves to be dehumanized in the way the modern prison system does. Justice should be focused on keeping dangerous people out of society and helping people be ready to go back into society rather than just punishment. ｡˚○Cleanqueer believes in rehab for addicts of all kinds and free healthcare including mental healthcare.
｡˚○Cleanqueer is anti censorship, but acknowledges that no material is exempt from criticism, often says something about the author, and can be extremely harmful. ｡˚○Cleanqueer is anti suicide ideation and anti ED ideation. Cleanqueer is empathetic to people in these types of communities as well. ｡˚○Cleanqueer is (obviously) anti T.R.A.S.H. However, we are empathetic of minors/vulnerable people who believe those things due to their parents, peers, and internet rabbit holes. Cleanqueer is also pro youth rights. ｡˚○Cleanqueer is pro contradictory labels such as Lesboy. ｡˚○Cleanqueer believes that people can change for the better.
Cleanqueer’s primary goal is being a safe place for people healing from proship, radqueer, and adjacent communities. It also serves as an alternative term to antiship or antiradqueer, as those terms were made by those communities to separate themselves from criticism and describe anyone who criticizes them.
The name doesn’t mean “clean” in the sense that these people are “dirty,” but, since it’s a recovery label, in the sense that one is “clean” from something like alcohol, porn, or self harm.
I made the flag using a free template from tumblr, a traced stock image, and free ibis paint assets (the bubbles in the background, which are optional).
