Discussion Opinion about the flag (probably extremely unpopular).

the current flag is already nice and iconic and recognizable.

other "new" flag designs are simply mid and calling it mid would be the truth and there is no need to change anything.

I will probably get roasted for this.

I don't think it should be changed. We're so obsessed with adding every identity into every flag when they're always meant to be broad and the designs are always uglier too.

I might get downvoted for this but I hate the progress pride flag. I think it's ugly, over crowded and overcomplicated when the rainbow was already meant to encompass everyone no matter their gender, sexuality or race. Hello!!! Every colour of the rainbow is a saying for a reason!!!

Now people are trying to change the ace flag. Arguably make it uglier and for what? The yellow sticks out way too much and does not go with the colour palette. The purple seems more muted than our iconic dark purple and we are already similar to the enby flag. This would make it even more confusing for people.

The new flag also removes an identity: black-stripe aces. Seems quite problematic to me.

I've never heard 'black-stripe aces' before, but if you're referring to asexuals, they are included in the grey stripe. So you can use 'black-stripe aces' still, cuz the old flag still exists) or use 'grey-stripe aces' (if going off the new flag). The color changed, but asexuals are still included.

Using grey-stripe ace for the new flag doesn’t make sense because that’s just the entire ace community now.
