If the trans flag was common to see and commonly talked about in Hamburgerland, I imagine I would have been more aware of what it meant. You're calling me racist... While using a racial slur?

Ok, let's whip out some facts. Of the countries in Asia where gay marriage is legal (different from transgender folk, yes I am aware, but I think we can all agree gays are a lot more accepted these days than trans people), there are 3. Nepal, the Republic of China (Taiwan), and soon Thailand. In Africa, there's just one, South Africa. In the middle east, just Israel (maybe that's how they keep getting American weapon shipments, they have a lock in the US gay Mafia).

Of course, in many more Asian/African countries than the ones I listed, it isn't ILLEGAL to have same sex intercourse*. However feel that's a decent metric for acceptance (and, by extension, awareness) of the various LGBTQ+ life styles.

You said it yourself in this comment. There aren't queers there. Well, there are. They just aren't treated very well if they're open about it, to my knowledge. Logically, if a culture is "not there", or in this context, being legally and culturally suppressed, I doubt there is going to be much awareness about things like which letters in LGBTQ+ corresponds to which flag. Id be happy to read something that you think would be enlightening on the subject.

As I've said else where in the thread, Hexbear has some high quality contributors, I'm glad y'all decided to federate.

Fact checking and technical diagnosis, I appreciate your contributions to the platform.

Going to dig through your comment history later, im curious to see what has been said o.o reminds me of the greentext of the black guy telling a story at a party of all white people, and he says the N word and a white girl asks him to not say that as it makes her uncomfortable and the black dude mentally is like "?????? Are you fr?.."

Telling people not to do something when it makes you uncomfortable, for sure, that's adulting 101. Hoooowever... Feel that shows how much social interaction that gal has actually had with African Americans outside of a professional setting.. not much :|

Globally? Dawg... how many countries in Asia and Africa is gay marriage even legal in, let alone some semblance and awareness of transgenderism.

I lurk quite a bit, rarely comment or post. Have seen a lot of complaints about the Hexbearers, didn't think they were too bad (well there are accounts on there that do seem to like to push Russian/Chinese talking points frequently + consistently). However overall the community provides some high quality content/insight.

I did apologize to the mod I emailed. Not looking for sympathy, frankly I was more interested from a technical perspective as to why her pronouns aren't showing on Jerboa, but they were on the browser.

You are correct I should have anonymized the post, will keep that in mind in the future.

Mess seems like a strong word to use. So, to clarify, you're saying that you are of the opinion that unless you're sure of an internet strangers pronouns, you shouldn't use gender specific cultural references to refer to them when making a joke?

Yaa that is similar to my viewpoint, though I am also a cis, white, blonde, blue eyed, tall, male, so my experiences/opinions are coming through the privilege lenses absolutely :| Having to deal with conversations like this all the time with "normies", can imagine people who are deep into such social circles get tired of dealing with the acting-in-bad faith bullshitters.

What percentage of the populace do you think knows what the transgender flag looks like? :|

I checked on my desktop, they were appearing on there ??

There are a lotta flags out there. Like dog, most Americans in NYC ouldn't even point to Iraq on a map, many even pointing to the US when asked where Iraq was.. As we were actively invading them post 9/11.

Id bet 100$ if there was a test of the general populace on knowing what that flag was, the pass rate would be below 5%.

Yeahh bb, you keep insulting em for being a watermelon head anti genocider..

With insults like utterly disgusting waste of flesh, I may have to whip out the expensive lotion I stole out of someones bathroom

Jerboa, made an edit on the post asking for a free Lemmy mobile recommendation that has the feature.
