[–] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 128 points 1 week ago

A while back they had a German ad with a closet filled with blåhaj

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 93 points 1 week ago

Yeah they might be onto something ;-)

“Ihr habt BLÅHAJ zum Symbol gemacht. Wir schwimmen mit Stolz an eurer Seite. Danke, Trans Community!”

"You have made BLÅHAJ a symbol. We swim alongside you with pride. Thank you, Trans Community!"

God dammit, I wanted to move to Ireland.

Sorry to derail this but I was VERY confused and oscillating between ready to jump to your defense and questioning my own mind before I realised you probably edited? That's why it's a good idea to add sth like "Edit: typo". Just so you know. Carry on :)

Why is this shark a symbol, because of the same colors?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes. The doll has become a trans symbol.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I know that it is a trans symbol, but I couldn't find out why. Is there an actual reason or was it just chosen randomly?

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 4 points 1 week ago

From what I can tell, bit of both. It started as a meme on Tumblr, gained popularity because it's easily available worldwide (wherever there's an Ikea), and became gay because Tumblr big gay. The colors nicely matching their

socks
made it more popular among a certain subset of the community, and now everyone agrees it's a symbol of trans (support).

Seeing all the upvotes, I assume I cracked the code.

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago

I’ve finally learned what blahaj represents. That’s awesome.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why are there no trans flags in any of the ikea stores i went to

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 13 points 1 week ago

Romania hates trans people and is a country so i think yes

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago

See. This is how it's done.

IRON YOUR DAMN FLAGS PEOPLE!

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago

You just be new here

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 28 points 1 week ago

It's bedroom, transformed to include the word "rule", as is the style in this Community.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That sharks are transgender?

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I once asked what the shark is about. Their name is Blåhaj and the patron saint of the Blåhaj Zone Lemmy.
