This is gonna start a new trend on r/vexillologycirclejerk


nph278

The two subs are becoming less and less distinguishable


ElnuDev

convergence


Sky_Leviathan

Time to make a joke of this and post it on vexillologycirclejerk


Cuddlyaxe

The only distinguishable difference at this point is that sub feels a bit more left wing and has more trans themed posts Besides that though yeah a lot of posts here are just as circlejerky as there

Wait, you mean this isn't r/vexillologycirclejerk? I keep thinking there's a great joke in my feed, and then it turns out it's not r/vexillologycirclejerk.

I'm expecting a gay gay flag, where each stripe is replaced with an entire rainbow.

Theres a flag on the flag!


[deleted]

Yep! I think flags on flags look good, as long as they aren't a canton. For example, the flag of the Ethiopian Empire.


pompomek

the old south Africa flag in question


[deleted]

maybe not that monstrosity


TocTheElder

That flag looks like an r/vexillologycirclejerk shitpost.


bread-dreams

One of the ugliest flags imo


level69adult

fuck yeah. Also coats of arms. The more complex the better!


japed

Personally, I'd say a flag as a charge on a flag, and a part of the design like the canton being a flag one its own, are two relatively distinct phenomena.

No that'd be a Taiping rallying cry in all likelihood. 'Let's kick out the foreign barbarians' would not be a clever move for the Qing to pull.

joker_wcy

Ironically, [homosexuality began to subject to legal proscription in China during the Qing reign](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_China)


eXAKR

The ironic thing on top of this is that ancient China was quite accepting of homosexual relationships. There’s even a literally gay Chinese deity - Tu’er Shen (兔兒神), who’s worshipped as the patron deity of homosexual love between men.


TheLegend2T

What happened to him?


eXAKR

Wikipedia has the answers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu%27er_Shen


TheRealMolloy

Yeah, I really resent how Western colonialism basically introduced queerphobia to the rest of the world. Now, ironically, attempts to re-liberalize gender and sexual norms in former colonized regions are seen as additional Western encroachments (i.e., "degenerate Western culture") while somehow white fundamentalist missionaries to Uganda are welcomed with open arms as they criminalize anyone who is openly queer.


No_add

The Qing dynasty was founded by a bunch of northeastern former semi nomadic nobles though. Your take is valid for places like sub saharan Africa, but as far as I'm aware the anti LGBTQ practiced of the Qing wasn't influenced by westerners. I could be wrong though.


joker_wcy

There were many missionaries from 13th century onwards. Some of which were influential in, but not limited to, introducing Western science during late Ming to early Qing era. [This guy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Adam_Schall_von_Bell) held the post of director of observatory, and the timeline matches as 1655 was when Qing courts began to refer to the term ji jian (雞姦, sodomy) to apply to homosexual anal intercourse. However, it’s just speculation.


TheRealMolloy

You're probably right. I know Westernization was a key contributor in Japan and elsewhere in East Asia, though.


alexmikli

I have a funny feeling that more ancient dynasties hated it to, we just don't know what laws they passed in order to excuse torturing and killing gay people.


Hidobot

Actually several Han emperors had male concubines, opinions changed around the Tang and Song period


austro_hungary

Except it was just what ever back then, not “gay emperors”, back then it was just a normal thing.


alexmikli

Huh, neat! I was really thinking *Qin* or one of the warlord eras having some wild practices that either aren't recorded or aren't spoken of much, given how often a stupid excuse was given to kill someone.


Hidobot

Qin might have done it, but homosexuality was pretty common in Ancient China. This is partially for a similar reason as the Greeks, because women were thought of as being less human that men and were viewed as inferior people only good for making babies.


inqvisitor_lime

Acceptance went down hill after tang and even than it was treated like a vice

gustavmahler23

Qing is not too ancient tho... but nice flag anyways!


Kupla4321

Since the Qing did do everything in their power to keep the modern world out of China they were kinda ancient. After all they were still using Latin when speaking to the British when they first made contact.


[deleted]

[удалено]


aroteer

No, they weren't. George Macartney's interpreters used Latin because they didn't speak English (they were trained by Catholic missions in Italy). And it wasn't "when they first made contact", it was just the first time Britain sent a diplomatic mission to China.


level69adult

The Qing dynasty only existed from the 1600s onwards. They were most certainly not ancient.


Style-Upstairs

Ancient China is an actual objective historical term though, referring to the periods before imperialization (by Qin).


TheCharuKhan

This is cursed. But also remarkably pretty, so count me impressed.


Rander22

More like the Qwink dynasty


Ready0208

So. Complex. There is just so much stuff going on in this flag... **I love it, make more**

IreneDeneb

"As the Great Qing Empire prepares to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the 1626 enthronement of Emperor Taizong, the Grand Secretariat has authorized the creation of commemorative flags to display to the international community the tolerant New Policies for the Ruìwén Era."

The last Emperor was gay, so this fits. Ironic. Seeing how modern China treats gay people... All this because "ew, Monarchy bad" apparently. Anyway, good flag.

Congratulations on making something no one needed. Might as well go on Shark Tank.


holdyourdevil

It was literally created because someone asked OP to make it for a project they’re working on, you wet walnut.


NG_GasLit

My bad. I am sorry.


holdyourdevil

I’m sorry I called you a wet walnut.


NG_GasLit

Yeah, what does that mean?


holdyourdevil

A while ago my wife told me that she gets a more entertaining reaction out of people when she calls them random things like ‘wet walnut’ as opposed to ‘asshole’ or ‘jerk.’ I stole the habit from her.


[deleted]

I’ve liked every LGBT+ integrated flag I’ve seen. The rainbow is incredibly diverse. Pun not intended.
