I feel stupid for asking, but how did the trans community decided that the giant shark Blajah will become their favourite plushie ?
I mean it looks awesome… but why that one ?
It’s just cute, easy to cuddle, and in the colours of the trans flag
I think it also helps that it wasn’t intentional. Nobody likes the obvious corp whoring for a quick cash grab.
I certainly see the blue, but where’s the pink exactly? The mouth maybe? Feels like a bit of a stretch
Oh! That’s where the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance gets its name from? The more you know 🌠
I believe that the fact that it wasn’t deliberate also helps. The apparent company whoring for a fast cash grab is disliked by @geometry dash online.
I think it’s a Marge Simpson “they just think it’s neat” situation
This is exactly the reason, it became a meme (like Fallout New Vegas becoming a thing in the trans community before it) and people ran with it. People have retroactively said that it’s because blåhaj is trans pride colors but it wasn’t the initial reason.

I love this shark so mucch
But you didn’t sign up at lemmy.blahaj.zone?
i dont want to use too many resources on other servers. i can afford to host my own for me and a few friends and i used reddit enough so i figure ill get good value out of it idk
That’s admirable.
You know the funny thing is “blahaj” directly translates to “blue shark” in Swedish.
How efficient
