@MURRUMUR @FiringSquadsEnjoyer @desea yea i was making a lukewarm defense but you make a good point that its basically for clueless trannies like. i doubt the infantility thing was on purpose but the flag creator was probably like 'this is a softer blue than the one in the navy and, i like pink'.
with that said I read a decent article by halimede (i know...) that indicates the 'contrarian' insecurity of indentifying purple (in strong opposition to pink) as a favourite color that I actually quite like. a lot of the time trying to represent with this shit at all opens you up to looking way too insecure in general because even though its correct to identify with womanhood, the presuppositional symbolic identifiers with womanhood are kind of awkward and insecure seeming.
"Purple Girls are defined by not being Pink Girls [like oppositional sexism but not evil]. "
Like heres the thing you have to remember not all subconcious criticisms are either unfair or worth overindicating. Nyx makes a big deal of identifying with purple but 'in a chemical way'. You probe at any one of us too much and most anything we do is going to look embarrassing. Are we being cool or are we just doing over intricate 'not like the other girls' shit?
This whole conversation is a lot more on my mind also because my goofy ass girlcadre put the trans flag on the windowsill, so now I'm in a pickle. This is going to be exclusively my room soon but if I take that flag down and replace it with something more obscure it will come off like a strange sort of concession or over indication. 'Did the weird tranny neighbors move out? Oh no they are still there, oh I guess they just...got weirder.'
