In other news: Lily continues to be a genuinely shitty member of LGBTQIA+. She changed her tumblr icon to have the Lipstick Lesbian flag behind her:
The flag's creator has notoriously been racist (most notably against Asians, what a coincidence), biphobic, and transphobic. She also intended the flag to be representative of only feminine lesbians, and did not want to be associated with more butch lesbians, and almost definitely not trans ones.
Lily has had this brought up to her several times, and her response is always:
Short and deflective, never addressing the fact and asserting that the flags are the same when they objectively aren't. For the sake of it, let's put them side-by-side, first the Lipstick Lesbian, then an upside-down Pink/Orange, and then the normal Pink/Orange
Now, to anyone that doesn't have color blindness, it's pretty damn obvious that the two flags do not use the same color palette.
But obviously, you can also look at the HEX codes for further proof:
A40061 A20262 D52C00
B75592 B55690 EF7627
D063A6 D162A4 FF9A56
FFFFFF FFFFFF FFFFFF
E4ACCF FF9A56 D162A4
C54E54 EF7627 B55690
8A1E04 D52C00 A20262
I just can't wrap my head around this. She claims that using Queer is never acceptable, like she's an authority on the subject. That her research is better than others and she has the best/objective take on the matter. But then she goes and uses a flag that so many people in the community know is associated with a shitty creator, and just actively refuses to acknowledge the criticism. Every time she just uses the same shitty "*flips it upside down* there i fixed it : )" excuse, claiming the flags are the same when they factually, objectively aren't.
Now, obviously this is all under the assumption that she isn't being intentionally malicious like how she loves to blame all her anons and detractors (coughPROJECTIONcough). Based on context of her general disdain for other cis and trans women, especially butch/GNC ones, it's clear what her intention is. She only likes/cares for femme women, those that conform to the heteronormative idea of what femininity is supposed to be: lipstick, makeup, feminine attire, styled long straight hair (ie. not Black/African), etc. She doesn't like butch/masculine aspects at all, and does everything she can to make sure she's not associated with them in any way. All of her characters are slim, lithe, yet deceptively strong because Lily doesn't want to show/accept that a woman that is strong will naturally have prevalent muscles and a build that reflects that. She also firmly believes, or wants to believe, that she and her lesbian lovers are firmly in this category too and despise any notion to the contrary. I have a feeling Lily only ever uses 'Trans' to describe herself when she knows it will earn her brownie points/asspats and otherwise would refuse to identify herself as trans in any other situation. She certainly despises that she was AMAB and never, ever wants it brought up or addressed. She also refuses to write any trans characters and never seems to push for trans representation; she only ever cares for lesbian characters and representation, or nonbinary characters that are firmly in the femme category.
Basically, Lily only really cares about feminine lesbians (and no one else) and doesn't actually give a shit about associating with something bigoted/problematic as long as she agrees with it.
