#the server owner was chill and agreed with me and changed the flag a bit but it was such a surreal experience

[soup-mother]

one of my discord experiences of all time was joining a "leftist" discord server where the pride flag emojis were really weirdly saturated and harsh on the eyes (particularly the trans one), i politely suggested they might want to change them slightly, and then got accused of being a fascist and "of course you're going after the trans flag specifically" by someone who asked my pronouns "so i can dunk on you".

obviously I was like "I'm literally a trans woman? I'd like to be able to use my own pride flag with hurting my eyes???" and they were like "ah..." and then left the server. I didn't stick around but that's probably my favourite experience I've ever had in a discord server, at no point was "hey this is kinda inaccessible" taken as anything other than a planned attack by fascists. they didn't even ask if i was trans lol.
