But for me it’s accurate either way, so I don’t care. 😇

    Even as a straight/cis man with ASD, I’ve regularly found lgbtq+ communities to be more accepting of me as a person than straight communities. I’m happy to be represented by gay infinity

      I’m a straight male. Before I even knew I was autistic back in high school in the 90s, I used to be part of the Pride Student Club because they were so nice to me compared to others.

          please keep it SFW here

          edit: This is a reminder. Not a warning. I know queer culture well enough to know that discussions about that particular app tend to escalate. There is a line to consider at which I am forced to take action. It was not crossed yet and I would prefer it to stay that way. Keywords: “keep” and “please”.

          Man, being gay sounds like it has some perks. For me to pull that off with a girl, I’m gonna have to spend some money and potentially get arrested.

    The infinity symbol is too cold and generic, I think I blocked about 60 of these AliExpress knockoff ads on tw_tter.

    There’s an old logo for Safe Place, which was to designate places where homeless or abused children could seek help. Something like that which evokes a feeling of safety or perhaps related to the senses would be a better starting point:

      Me: Is that Cthulhu in a house?

      Looks closer

      Oh, it’s just two people hugging.

      Now I’m disappointed there is no Cthulhu.

    Everything needs a symbol or flag now. Tribalism is trendy again and isn’t backfiring at all.

      I am in a good mood right now, so I’ll make an effort to understand your point.

      What’s wrong with symbols or flags in general? What do you mean with “Tribalism”? Looking at the definition, I don’t get your statement… Mankind was always organised into some kind of groups or tribes. It’s not at all a new penomenon. And what exactly is the backfiring about? I guess it’s meant sarcastically, but I don’t know what exactly you’re hinting at.

      i dont think autistic people are joining a sexuality war. flags don’t mean tribalism
