For a split second I thought this was the flag of the Republic of China (1912–1949) and was very confused lol

I don't know what that flag is but it made me think it was pride but from a colorblind persons perspective.

Like the first commenter already said, it stands for aromantic-asexual or in short "aroace".

Why would an aromantic person want to get married?

As I don't know for sure what exactly defines aroace, I suggest asking that question in an extra post.
The purely technical benefits of a marriage are e.g. that from a legal pov one spouse is representative of the other, e.g. in case of serious medical condition, or a married couple can easier find housing than an unmarried couple or as a flat share.

I think personalized pride flags for sexual/romantic identities are dumb

and when pride flags for mental disorders come out, I'll think those are dumb too. thankfully they'll never get around to finishing the adhd flag

let ppl enjoy things, fine. let me dislike them. you're all wasting your time on dumb shit

wasting your time on dumb shit

Motherfucher, you're ranting on Lemmy. Pot throwing glass stones much?

TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com · -1 pts · 1y (3 replies)

yes. I am the blackest kettle pot. I don't find any problem with that. I am free to not only waste my time on whatever dumb shit I choose but also to openly rant about the dumb shit others spend time on. and saying so doesnt make me any more or less gay either

Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de · 5 pts · 1y (2 replies)

On one hand, I support your right to waste your time on your gay little rants, but being rude to other people isn't exactly great.

cool beans. you're the one who cussed me out. might wanna rethink your stance on hypocrisy. People who pretend to be morally consistent are the biggest hypocrites

Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 1y

Calling whatever people do with their flags "dumb" is bad, uncalled for, and in bad taste. Calling motherfucher who dun it "motherfucher" is ok, citizenry, and possibly even praxis

When you're aroace and truly, absolutely do not want to marry your best friend: Fuck I'm gonna die alone!

Source: am dying alone

When you really want to marry your best friend but are definitely not asexual: I, too, will die alone :(

(She doesn't want to marry me c:)

As someone who is quite heteronormative, don't worry. We all die alone in the end.

Thank you for educating me, homie.

Can we reverse it & make it Bluey though?

I don't get the meme

Tweekerz@sh.itjust.works · 13 pts · 1y (1 reply)

apparently it's common for aroace people to wanna marry their best friends??? idk...

serenissi@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y

oh. I have a ace close friend who once said they wanna marry me as a joke. Now I think probably it wasn't a joke 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm not aro/ace so didn't think about it.
