Line 36:
===Allows cishets into the community===
The acronym is accused of letting everyone into the community, but this argument is inherently exclusionary because it implies that obscure identities do not deviate from the societal norm of being straight, cisgender and allo which is a completely opinion based argument.
===Glorification of mental illness===
Many times you can see MOGAI blogs glorifying mental illnesses, such as in the case of the depression pride flag or misophonia pride flag, which may make mental illness look like a cool and quirky trend, which is damaging to society as a whole because of the brutal mortality rates and risks of mental illness.
==Discussion==
The discourse has many arguments, most very similar to eachother but this blog post has stored some of the main ones, now I shall be giving my personal opinion on the matter.
Line 42 ⟶ 44:
===Micro-labels===
Micro-labels are a form of jargon to connect with other members of the queer community to easily express and explain ones personal experiences; for example, someone interested in flags may know what a ''canton'', ''hoist'', ''fimbriation'', ''bordure ''or ''fess ''is but in a normal conversation these words would not be used as communication is a two way street, and if the other person fails to understand you, you have failed to communicate a point. For example, a [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Cupioromantic cupioromantic] [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Trixensexual trixensexual] person may not tell people upon meeting for the first time that they are a cupioromantic trixensexual person because they are very obscure, unknown terms, instead these labels may just be summarised with the term "bisexual".<span class="inline-paragraph" id="68ed3f24-8059-4d38-ca29-8425f2e00ec7"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="inline-paragraph" id="68ed3f24-8059-4d38-ca29-8425f2e00ec7"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span></span></span>
===Glorification of mental illness===
I think the glorification of mental illness is a fucked up thing to do, as someone diagnosed with depression, anxiety, OCD and a potential eating disorder I am repulsed by the depression pride flag. However, I believe this to be the fault of the creator and people who make these flags rather then MOGAI as a whole, because 4chan claimed in 2017 that the LGBTQ+ community was adding a P for 'pedosexual' does that mean it was true? No, the P stands for pansexual.
==Conclusion==
I personally see no problem with MOGAI, though other peoples opinions may differ, and I believe that people have the right to define their orientation or gender how they please rather then letting other people speak for them. A reader may disagree with the points I make, but at the end of the day, just be kind to each other, rather then responding with hostility to what you disagree with, engage in a healthy discussion or debate.
