Wojak Terms

I'm a teenager who coins terms that fall under the MOGAI umbrella. I made this Tumblr to share them, in case anyone finds them useful.

The one who designed the flag that represents sequencesexuality did a fine job with the colors, and I applaud them for choosing an appealing and accurate color scheme in comparison to so many other flags.

However, the exclusive use of stripes in flags, when one believes in a large amount of identities, robs each term of its individuality. That is the reason for which I redesigned the sequencesexual flag.

The flag has kept its color scheme, however, now features symbols in the center representing its meaning. The purple heart represents lack of attraction, the red heart sexual attraction, and the arrow, colored pink to represent romantic love, ignites one into the other.

Although flags have been designed for various sets of pronouns, those without pronouns receive little attention in comparison.

This flag is designed for those who go by no pronouns, instead seeking to only be referred to by their name. It encompasses everyone who has the significant desire to be addressed without the usage of pronouns, either exclusively, at certain times, and/or in equal or greater significance to the pronouns they do use.

The crystal blue stripe represents security in one’s self.

The blue zircon stripe represents the innovation of disregarding established lingual constructs in favor of being honest to one’s self.

The dragon green stripe is straightforward, in that it symbolizes the rejuvenation resulting from one being referred to without the usage of gendered pronouns.

The crown is a symbol of identification with one’s self, colored white to represent all the reasons one may seek to only be referred to by their name, at least to the same extent one does not.

I personally disagree with the notion that apressexuality is a subset of demisexuality.

Demisexuality is the orientation defined by an inability to experience sexual attraction toward those one does not have a “deep, emotional bond” with. Apressexuality is defined by an inability to experience sexual attraction toward those one does not experience a type of non-sexual attraction to. Apressexuality was coined to be a subset of demisexuality, however, non-sexual attraction does not entail a deep bond.

We may develop crushes on people due to their appearance, or grow obsessed with them based on what we perceive them to be. Even to become passionately infatuated with someone is not to deeply bond with them. To call someone who can only experience sexual attraction toward those they have romantic feelings for “demisexual”, even if said feelings are shallow and unfounded, isn’t accurate.

Depending on one’s definition of allosexual, they may consider apressexuality to be within the asexual spectrum, which I personally do, however, the term’s distinct from demisexuality. Some may be apart of both orientations, but it’s unfair to call someone demisexual because they can only experience sexual attraction toward those they’re attracted to in other ways when they don’t fit the definition of demisexuality.

The spectrums of asexuality and aromanticism encompass a wide range of human behaviors that may be nearly identical to allosexuality and alloromanticism or to asexuality and aromanticism, distinguished from the orientations by what may sometimes be miniscule differences. As the variation between a-spec identities are vast, some may feel out of place when their orientations are grouped in with those entirely different from theirs, each of them presented under the label “a-spec”.

Allosians are individuals who’re neither asexual nor allosexual that strongly identify with the latter orientation in comparison to the former. The way they experience sexual attraction is far closer to allosexuality than it is to asexuality, perhaps because a circumstance that triggers them to experience it occurs frequently, in the times in which they do experience it, it’s very intense, and any other reason that would enable someone between the two identities to consider themselves far closer to one than the other.

The allosian flag depicts shades of purple, colors associated with asexuality, to represent the ace-spec identify present. However, the shades are darkened in comparison to the term opposite to allosian, aceian, as to represent how an allosian’s connection with asexuality is weak. In the center of the flag sits an upside-down spade, the spade also associated with asexuality, to signify the same thing as the darkened colors.

The romantic equivalent to allosians are allorosians, whose flag is decorated with shades of green to represent aro-spec identity.

Aceians, the counterpart to allosians, are individuals who’re neither asexual nor allosexual that strongly identify with the former orientation in comparison to the latter. The way they experience sexual attraction is far closer to asexuality than it is to allosexuality, perhaps because a circumstance that triggers them to experience it rarely occurs, in the times in which they do experience it, it’s incredibly weak, and any other reason that would enable someone between the two identities to consider themselves far closer to one than the other.

The aceian flag depicts shades of purple, for the same reason the allosian flag does, except the colors it displays are lighter than those of its counterpart, as to signify a strong identification with asexuality. For the same reason, the spade that sits at the center is angled properly.

The romantic equivalent to aceians are arosians, whose flag is decorated with shades of green to, as one may guess, represent aro-spec identity.

A gender half-conforming individual is one who, due to being multiple genders simultaneously, both conforms to societal expectations of their gender(s) and doesn’t. This individual’s behavior and/or appearance is conventional for people of one or more of their genders to exhibit, but unconventional for people of the other(s), making them both conformant to gender roles and non-conformant to them.

Examples include individuals who’re both male and female behaving in a masculine manner, and individuals who’re female, agender, and androgyne dressing androgynously.

In accordance to the term its derived from, the label “gender half-conforming” may be abbreviated as “GHC”.

The definition of “gender non-conforming” is one who appears and/or behaves in a manner unconventional of those of their gender(s). However, the term doesn’t distinguish between physical non-conformance and psychological non-conformance, grouping two distinct states under one broad label.

These are the pride flags for appearance non-conforming and behaviorally non-conforming individuals, designed for those who seek to specify which definition of gender-conformance they fit.

The flags are straightforward, utilizing the colors of the gender non-conformance flag in combination with symbols that represents each term’s meaning: appearance non-conforming a coat hanger, as to symbolize clothing, and behaviorally non-conforming a head containing cogs, as to symbolize the inner workings of the mind.

In accordance with their parent term, the two labels may be abbreviated as “ANC” and “BNC” respectively.

As well, they can be used in combination with another term I’ve coined, “gender half-conforming”, to create “appearance half-conforming” and “behaviorally half-conforming”.
