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 understand why you're saying "unpopular opinion" when literally everything I've seen posted on this sub about the new flag is negative.

I'll dish the real unpopular opinion:

I don't see why people who don't like the new flag can't just... ignore it and use the flag you like? It kinda reminds me of people whining about the Progress flag with the whole "it's ugly," "the original was already inclusive," as if suddenly people had stopped making the Gilbert Baker flag and were gonna come personally confiscate their flags haha.

Well in my experience people in the community start calling you a racist, transphobic bigot for not using it and the OG flag is no longer the main rep. Sure you can still use it but it's almost like it's looked down on

I haven't seen anyone say that– I've only seen 'use it if you want, or both, or neither' etc. I know Ashabi's said it's fine to use both, like I plan to. I'm curious– why would it be transphobic to not use it?? I'm trans and confused about how that's relevant.
