"MAP" "pride" flag. they try to co-opt it into the real LGBTQIA+ flags

Someone else asked the same question here in the comments so I know from the answers they got. Ew. We must not let pedos be part of LGBTQ+.

Using the flag in the image seems like a weird choice. It uses a pride flag (although in this case a fake one) negatively, which should not be done, pride flags should only be used as positive (that's why they're called "pride" flags). It also acknowledges this flag as representing pedos, which plays right into their hand.

Also pride flags for things other than LGBTQ+ are weird in some ways. There is an autism pride flag and a twink pride flag for example, which are fine. Then there are malicious pride flags such as MAP (which is an attack on LGBTQ+ as much as, or even more than, it is a pro-pedo statement). And there are various flags for straight and cisgender, some made and used by the LGBTQ+ community to have something to represent everyone, and some made and used by phobes as flags of their "pride" in their "superiority" ("pride" as in "white pride", actually meaning supremacism).
