User Flairs - input requested!

submitted by NutterButterFlutter[M] from self.LGB

Hi everyone,

As we get closer to opening the sub (we're almost there, I promise!), we have another question for you!

How would you like user flairs to look? Do you want them more emoji-fied and illustrated, or do want them like standard small images? Here's examples of what the emoji-fied art could look like: https://www.iconfinder.com/iconsets/lgbt-illustrations

And here's the list we came up with, after receiving everyone's suggestions and discussing among ourselves:

  • Lesbian: labrys (flag or axe symbol)
  • Lesbian: pink stripes flag
  • Lesbian: intertwined female symbols
  • Gay Men: blue stripes flag
  • Gay Men: intertwined male symbols
  • Gay Men: pink triangle
  • Bisexual: pink/blue/purple flag
  • Bisexual: FFM intertwined symbols
  • Bisexual: MMF intertwined symbols
  • General: rainbow flag

Is there anything else you'd like us to add as well before we wrap this up?

Sounds good to me. Idk I think the plain ones like in s/LGBDropTheT are fine, though the flags in the hearts are kinda cute.

I prefer the plainer ones too.

From a creator standpoint, they're a lot easier to make and manage also, since flairs have a size limit unless we want to get super-crazy with coding.

The emoji ones are cute haha I like the idea of having cute, kinda joyful looking flairs. I'm fine with the plain ones too but they're associated with dropthet in my head and the ambiance isn't the same if you see what I mean?

Okay wait I can express that in a simpler manner: I like having joyful flares for a joyful place :D

Are there any of the cute/joyful images that really appeal to you?

It's easy for us to remake the flags and/or icons into the more joyful versions if people want it ... but we're also wondering if there are other images that people would want as user flairs. We don't want to get super complicated and have like 80 flairs to choose from, but it's pretty easy to add on a few more besides just the flags/icons.

Perhaps the biangle, if it's not too big at 64px.
