random flag opinion: I NEED multiple attraction flags (pan, polysexual) to stop being some random variation of bi where it's a pink for fem, a blue for masc, and a random other color for androgynous, they have different meanings, be different

My personal headcannon for the pan flag is that it's printer colors (cmy) which can be used to create any other color and thus any gender representation showing how pan people just don't give a fuck about gender, but that's just me projecting how I interpret my sexuality onto the gosh that already exists

Except that that’s not even what the bi flag is!! Pink is not for fem and blue is not for masc. The colors are for attraction to your same gender and other genders.

Wait that's actually even funnier, the bi flag actually has cool reasoning and the others have silly reasoning cause they just misinterpreted the bi flag 🤣

that's what the colors on the pan flag mean, and on the polysexual flag mean, but I have been informed that I was wrong about the meaning of the bi flag

if you were wrong about the bi flag, you were probably wrong about the pan flag and others

nah I checked, both pan and polysexual have a blue of some sort for men, pink of some sort for women, and a random third color that is not purple (in order to distinguish themselves from the bi flag) that represents nonbinary people. I checked wikipedia and fandom.com for the flag meanings. idk it just annoys me (especially for pan cause I'm pan) that these flag that are supposed to represent attraction that doesn't follow a binary are still like... very binary

As a fellow pansexual I love this (also big agree on the way you interpret pansexuality, it’s the best way I can describe it to my friends)

This isn’t a headcanon lol this is the actual reason those colors were chosen. Yes they represent the percieved genders but cmy were chosen especially because they make up every other color. The flag was created on tumblr so I think you might even be able to find the original post

couldn't find the original post but I found this twitter thread about its creation from the original creator, but it doesn't mention cmy being chosen cause they make up all the other colors
