X now considers the term “cisgender” a slur. On Tuesday, the platform reportedly began posting an official warning that the LGBTQ-inclusive terms could result in a ban from the platform.

    There is a neofetch alternative that specializes in pride flags. Someone submitted a PR to add the “straight pride” flag, and it was rejected on the basis that it wasn’t a “marginalized community”.

    Like bruh, do you want equality or not?

      I think it’s okay for a queer app to focus on queer shit and not associate with a label which is overwhelmingly used to virtue signal being a bigot, that’s not really an attack on equality.

        I feel like it is an example of the paradox of tolerance.

      A neofetch for pride flags?

      What? How would that even work and why?

      Isn’t neofetch a tool to see basic stats about an OS and Distro?

          That answers the how, I guess.

      I would also reject such a pull request. Straight folks aren’t systematically shamed for being straight. They don’t need pride to counter nonexistent shame.

        why can’t everyone be included? wasn’t that the whole point?
