For some reason, a few got deleted. Ask @minecraft3 if you want the normals sized, alpha blue line flag patterns.

Personally i don’t understand why they wouldn’t be accepted anymore, as they are literally just supporting people that have a job. a difficult job at that... I made a blue line flag, in memorial of a couple cops that got shot and later died due to a shooting on duty (they were shot by someone who didn’t want to get arrested, it was also a hostage situation and rocked my town, everyone mourned, not just the people who knew them) and they took my pattern down because so many people, not knowing context, rated my pattern poorly. The pattern had no ill intent, and shouldn’t have been removed, but here we are.

They allow patterns such as mine because they do not represent a political party. If I were to make a pattern supporting Biden or Trump it would be declined because they are a political figure and political party or figures aren't allowed. Hope that answered your question!😊

Pattern we no longer accept include:-political patterns for political parties/candidates -spotify patterns -qr code patterns -Blue Lives Matter (because they are highly controversial creating a lot of fighting, and can be seen as anti-BLM) |

@Krazy-Knotz so.... why is there pro-life/pro-choice patterns still on here? they create lots of fights? also, what about all the black cops? what about the cops that fight in the city to protect black lives? who stood against their brothers and sisters in work to defend them?? if you put one side of the debate, you should put the other, otherwise you're being biased and making it to where others can't express their personal beliefs. if you don't allow those, you shouldn't put religious patterns on here either because they can start fights, you shouldn't put pro anything on here. the BLM movement is political? if you look for the description, it says; "Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized political and social movement protesting against incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against black people." not all cops are bad...? there are cops who will rat out others who don't do their jobs. what should we do without them? who would replace them? why do black lives matter, but the black cops who still choose to keep their jobs dont matter? it makes no sense @lucass_ thank you for the patterns! @Godluvsu i'll check out her patterns and see if i would make any @eeanderson thats ridiculous??? you're only remembering the lives that were threatened in that situation. cops are put in dangerous situations every day to protect everyone, why can't we support them?? @Ronny I like yours!!!! i'll definitely end up making it |

i dunno much about this cuz when i see a political pattern, i don’t engage cuz as krazyknotz said and i did ppl fight and lol i don’t like fighting. but i think cuz maybe there’s like a somewhat equal view for each side. and my friend sometimes looks at them and she’s here rn and she says that there’s certain patterns where people are just chill about it and don’t say anything (again i could be wrong) so maybe that’s it? like i think it could very well just be that people were getting super heated and being like rude to other people on those patterns and stuff and i don’t see that on BLM patterns. maybe it just got so out of hand not would be easier to remove them. like yeah i agree w you, if you’re gonna have biased opinions you should have the other side. but i think for the people who mod and do admin here, they’re like legit people. like volunteers yk? this isn’t their job, so they can’t constantly supervise people who aren’t going to respectfully state their opinion. kinda like what my mom did w my bro and i when we fought. sometimes she would just straight up take away what we were fighting about. that’s my thinking, which makes me annoyed that some people can’t have a civilized argument but yeah. i don’t necessarily like it but i understand why

@lucass_ there are still plenty of patterns that are up where people will insult the patterns because they disagree with them. rather than keeping that going why not just??? block comments???? like obviously those are crontraversal patterns so if you post from here on you should know that people are gonna comment so why not block them for political patterns like that. I understand not putting political candidates, but if you're gonna support blm everything else should be allowed, including alm and thin blue stripe patterns, yknow?

@KrazyKnotz my thin blue line patterns weren't "blue lives matter". And my 2nd amendment pattern got declined. And also why do only BLM supporters get to post their opinions and patterns and if anything offends them it gets taken down? Lots of things offend me on this website but don't get taken down. Why does BLM get special treatment? Honest questions please explain to me and i'm not trying to be rude.

they took them down because the website is biased and likes to take one side of a debate and throw a hissy fit when someone posts something they don't agree with, even though we have the freedom of speech and self expression

@minecraft3 i am not trying to be rude in any way, but the website keeping BLM patterns doesn't mean that it's biased, I honestly don't see how BLM could be offensive to someone. Blue lives matter, and other political patterns could be offensive to a lot of people so imo the website is just trying to avoid drama and people getting offended. If it was biased as you said, they would accept patterns from certain political points of view wich they don't. In my opinion, not accepting BLM patterns would be like not accepting "girl's power" patterns.

@onarts_ The BLM movement at first ONLY focused on black people despite them claiming they were fighting for all minorities, and so a lot of asian lives suffered at the beginning of covid because the hate crimes were buried by the movement, and so a lot of people died with no one knowing their names because everyone said that these things didn't matter and we needed to focus on black lives even though there are so many other minorities who have had it way worse in our country. the BLM movement says that they want to "fight for equality for everyone" but all they did was violent riots and protests, and they're trying to put one race ntop of all the others against, so instead of white people being on top it's black people because of their history. instead of doing good, they really only did harm? like they helped a few cases but they found out about these through the media, and yet they say that the media doesn't cover black people, when thats not the case. all the media covers is black and white people, its never hispanic or islamic or asian or anything, theres no coverage because no one cares about anyone but the black and whites. Also, someone can argue that in the U.S. despite black people being a minority they make up over 50% of our crimes, so whats going on with that? I've never understood that. I didn't say that they shouldn't post BLM patterns, and neither did @minecraft3 we're saying they should post both sides, not just one. thats like only putting up pro-choice patterns because Pro-life gets too much hate from pro-choice users, not just saying that "girl power" shouldn't be accepted. its biased because there are black cops that apparently don't matter, who fight to keep the BLM movement going, who give tips of how to avoid the police in protests so you don't get arrested. its biased because there are cops who have been fighting this entire time for equality for everyone and yet no one seems to care about them because of a few bad apples |

@Vulture I do agree that it’s not fair that with the BLM movement some other things went unnoticed like the asian hate crimes wich is awful. But saying all the BLM supporters did was riots and that stuff is just not the truth. Its is like saying that all white people are racist, it is not true, you are taking some people and generalizing what they did to everyone. Not all white people are racist and not all BLM supporters do riots or destroy things. The BLM movement is still going, showing support for black people and spreading information abt the social injustices IS being part of the BLM movement.BLM is not putting black people as a superior, it is called that way too show that black lifes MATTER AS WELL, it is an equality movement because it puts value on the people that didn’t have value or had less for very long. I am personally hispanic and I don’t think that the BLM movement is making less of me. It is making people realise how much racism there actually is and goes unnoticed. About the patterns, I do understand that you want your patterns posted and I personally also think that pro-life and pro-choice patterns cause drama. About the cops that support black lives matter, of course there are cops that do, but again BLM isn’t making anyone be superior to anyone, it is not saying cops are bad. |

@onarts_ i never said BLM patterns shouldn't be accepted, i'm saying more conservative patterns shouldn't be taken down. It's not fair that i've had many of my patterns declined and removed because they were more conservative, but then i come on this website and its filled with liberal patterns. Why are there pro gun law patterns, but i can't post a pro second amendment pattern? And while BLM / women rights are more social movements then political, it still pushes a certain political agenda, and they still have liberal ideologies behind them. It just makes me a little upset being censored and then everyone (mainly people who would never actually make my patterns) saying that its fair and reasonable. Thank you to the people that are fighting for our right to express ourselves.

okay, so then you agree that the thin blue line should be accepted then? because not all cops fit under one category, so they deserve to be supported. for doing their jobs right and not using their abilities to their advantage.also, thats exactly what happening. by covering the media with oe race (black) then thats all anyone focuses on. thats what happened with the white supremacy thats happened this entire time up until recent years. we always focused on white people and said screw everyone else, and thats what the BLM movement is doing. btw im not against the blm movement, i actually like it a lot minus the rioting and stealing n stuff because that wasnt okay and you can't convince me otherwise, i think it's great that we're bringing to attention racial inequality, but we're only focusing on them, who already had media coverage, and not other minorities as well, like asians, hispanics, etc. who don't get media coverage. a big topic on BLM was that black people didnt get proper media coverage, but what about everyone else...? who get little to none, who suffer. I was fighting for all lives from the beginning, saying that inequality and supremacy should be abolished, i was fighting for asian lives and hispanic lives from the get-go, and now that enough of us have said "hey you buried them" NOW they're getting attention, but its not even the same because no one cares okay, and BLM isn't saying that but almost every BLM person believes ACAB which is wrong in so many ways, and a lot of people said if you were BLM but didnt think ACAB then you werent even supporting the movement at all and were only hurting it. the main reason i posted this was to ask a question and you attacked one of the people commenting saying that you didn't understand how someone could be offended by BLM when there are plenty of reasons imo, and we never said it was offensive in the first place either. we said that anything offensive opposing BLM was taken down and it wasnt right, if you're gonna allow this topic on here you should show all sides, not just one. it IS being biased because you're only showing one side? the one they favor, and everything for alm or for the thin blue lines gets taken down, and the only reason this is because its starts drama when you can say that about a lot of other patterns that are still up. its contradictory for the website and doesnt look good on them :/ |
