You can actually just see a hint of the trans flag sticking out of the corner! /s

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 7 points 8 months ago

Noticed the flag but was THIS the "joke" here? Then i get it even less.

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 23 points 8 months ago

Its the shorks.

It's the Blahajs in this zone.

You'll never get a straight answer out of this community, so I'm here from all to help.

Blahaj is the name of a shark sold at IKEA. It just follows the same naming convention of most IKEA products. It became a popular symbol for trans youths, I don't think there was a specific reason. Just kinda caught on in the way that Internet trends do. That's the shark on the table.

Oooh. Thank you kind internet stranger. I had no clue. We have a blahaj too, so that didn't even came to mind

[-] tr0xy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 months ago

The color scheme of blåhaj roughly resembles the colors of the trans flag

Literally my GF's side of the bed. 3 sharks and that exact fox from Cabela's. She feels attacked.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 3 months ago

[-] squirrel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago

I am not entirely sure, but it's either the Aurora Flopsie or Cabela's Giant Red Fox.

!egg_irl

!egg_irl is for widely relatable memes about questioning one's gender or being an egg (a trans person in denial) as well as other eggy topics.

If you are looking for a place to discuss something specific to you or especially if you need help or are in crisis, we have communities and resources that can support you linked at the bottom of this sidebar.

General Rules:

  1. No bigotry.

  2. No spam, bots, or vote farming.

  1. No reposts.

  2. No personal-life posts, bingo cards, quizzes, selfies, "trans/not trans" lists, picrew, or non-memes.

  3. No visible names or usernames.

  4. Do not post or link to pornography.

Rules on Post Titles and Tags:

  1. Posts must be titled "egg_irl". An emoji or two is OK, but they have to be between "egg" and "irl".

  2. Posts that assume the viewer's gender and/or contain potentially triggering content must be spoilered and tagged at the beginning of the post title. Example content-warning tags that you can copy include the following:

    • [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transmasc]
    • [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transfem]
    • [CW: Assumes Viewer is Nonbinary]
    • [CW: Transphobia]

Rules on Post Text:

  1. If possible, include an image description for accessibility.

  2. Add sources for art.

Rules on Comments

  1. If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.

  2. You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways.

Recommendations:

We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally cool—just say so.
