(or Ecter妖怪 / Menreyaoguai / Menre妖怪)
[PT: Ecteryaoguai (or Ecter妖怪 / Menreyaoguai / Menre妖怪). End PT.]
A custom ecter symbol, and complex and simple flags, for an ecter version of Genderyaoguai (link) by @lotusqai . The definition is analogous with genderyaoguai and so I will use an edited version of the definition from Lotus Tower's post.
Ecteryaoguai: An ecter connected to, best represented by, or that can only be described as the 妖怪/yāoguài (daemons) from Chinese mythology.
These are not related in any way to Western, Christian, or otherwise non-Taoist/Shenist concepts of demons. They apply to both fictional interpretations of 妖怪 and to the beings themselves, depending on the person using the terms.
While I am unsure about making this exclusive, these terms are about beings from Taoism and Shenism, religions that are still practiced today. If you are not Chinese or do not have a proper understanding of what these terms mean, I that you are respectful enough to learn.
Ecter, or menre, is a identity/identity system that is not gender. It's comparable to "nonbinary" for gender itself as a concept, and is a massive catch-all. It's similar to gender conceptually, as a word for a category of feeling or action.
Ecter/menre coined by @transhaunting and you can find a more detailed explanation in this post (link).
Flag from my genderyaoguai flag, which is inspired by genderyokai (link) by @gendermarmalade
