"NO PRONOUNS IN BIO" = they think you're transphobic if you don't have your pronouns in your bio either because 'gender =/= pronouns' or because 'it means you don't show solidarity with trans ppl'
MLM = man who loves men
WLW = woman who loves women
NBLNB = nonbinary who loves nonbinary
can be mixed and matched, e.g NBLM = non-binary who loves men
EXCLUS / EXCLUSIONISTS / EXCLUSIONARY, BI/PAN LESBIANS
An
exclusionist is someone who 'gatekeeps', AKA 'you need dysphoria to trans', thinks that asexual people aren't inherently LGBT on their own, doesn't like nounself pronouns ("pencil/pencils/pencilself style pronouns"), etc. Because how dare someone have their own opinions and not give into the hivemind!
Carrd users will typically have
EXCLUSIONISTS DNI in their DNI list... along with 'ARE OR SUPPORT
BI / PAN LESBIANS'
A
bisexual lesbian or
pansexual lesbian is someone who follows the 'split attraction model' [SAM]. Under this model, if a guy is romantically interested in men and women, but only sexually aroused by men, they'd be considered "biromantic homosexual". A woman may be an 'aromantic lesbian' who doesn't feel romantic attraction and just wants pussy. So on. Don't ask me how it works because I have no clue.
For bi / pan lesbians, in this case, this is oftentimes someone who is romantically interested in men and women, but can only be aroused by women.
Mind you, claiming to be a 'biromantic homosexual woman' is fine apparently, but not a 'biromantic lesbian woman'. Splitting hairs.
For some reason, saying 'bi / pan lesbians DNI' is not considered exclusionism, but I couldn't
really give less of a shit.
ACHILLEAN VS SAPPHIC
There was drama on Twitter that sparked up a month or two ago about these terms, which had both been in use for years iirc. Lesbians, bisexual women, and other women who love women use 'sapphic' - derived from Sappho of Lesbos, an author known for her love poems directed at women - as an umbrella term for any woman who happens to like other women. Gay men didn't have an equivalent umbrella term, and adopted the term 'achillean', after Achilles and his relationship with Patroclus.
Lesbians started accusing people using the term 'achillean' of being 'actual rapist and pedophile defenders' because Achilles was an adult and Patroclus was a teenager in some retellings. Which means everyone using that term is pro-pedophilia. Also claimed the term was 'lesbophobic' for being a copy of 'their term'.
Then it was claimed that 'achillean' is violent towards bisexual people, because Achilles was bisexual and by claiming it as an mlm term it as erasing bisexual people... Even though the term was inclusive of bisexual men.
The aggressive Twitter lesbians conveniently forgot that Sappho, their lesbian idol, also wrote love poems to men (making her bisexual) and is theorized to have slept with her students and is no better than Achilles + 'achillean'.
'TOOTHPASTE'/'ACHILLEAN' FLAG
A colour-swapped version of the lesbian flag that was meant to represent gay men. Looks like a tube of crest toothpaste. Got shut down by aggressive Twitter lesbians claiming it was 'lesbophobic' for being a recolor of 'their flag', even though mlm people were reaching across the aisle and wanting to match flags.
Claimed to be heteronormative and misogynistic because 'clearly it's meant to be blue because 'blue is for boys!'' while ignoring the fact that the lesbian flag has pink for 'femininity'. Mistaken for the 'achillean' flag and falsely claimed to be a flag that signalled one as being 'pro-pedophile, pro-rape, and pro-biphobia' due to that... even though 'sapphic' could be argued to be the same. Fascinating.
It was later revealed that the original 'lipstick lesbian' flag, which the current flag is based off, was directly based on the old 'gay bear flag'. Of course, this was also swept under the rug. All flags reference each other in one way or another, but because its the
gross gay men doing it, It's Bad Now.
Cue 16-year-olds using the 'toothpaste flag' being told that they're 'pro-pedophilia, rape-supporting biphobes' by 24-year-old lesbians on Twitter dot com.
If someone says 'achillean / gay man/toothpaste flags dni', it's because of this drama.
NEOGENDERS, XENOGENDERS, MOGAI
MOGAI = 'Marginalized Orientations, Gender Attractions and Identities/Intersex'. Originally intended to be a successor to 'LGBTQQIAAAPPP+" to stop people from getting into slapfights over the acronym.
Was co-opted by people who think that 'incel', 'straight tomboy', and 'fujoshi' are sexualites that make you LGBT.
Neogenders + xenogenders fall under the 'MOGAI' label - these are non-binary genders that are oftentimes specific to [self diagnosed] autistic people. They claim different things to be genders. "PupGender" "AlienGender" "KinGender", and even "AutiGender" 'a gender identity where autism plays a role'.
Some MOGAI people also claim that kinning is inherently LGBT, and there are MOGAI pride flags for certain kintypes.
'ANTI-MOGAI DNI' means that if you don't think MOGAI genders are LGBT/'valid', then you're an ableist/transphobe/'exclus'.
"PRONOUN.XYZ" is a website where people, especially MOGAI people, put in their own 'custom pronouns'. Many of them are quite... distasteful, like a set of 'autistic pronouns' being 'flap/flaps/flapself', 'sti/stim/stmself', or 'stut/stutts/stutterself", or a set of 'ADHD' pronouns being 'hype/hypers/hyperself' and 'ina/inatts/inattentiveself'. Some of them are 'emoji pronouns' like
/
s/
self, which is, beyond what has been said a dozen times, a big fuck you to anyone whose browser doesn't support your emojis.
Some are 'fandom based'. An example might be a Dawn Pokémon kinnie using "Dawn/Dawns/Dawnself", "Poff/Poffin/Poffinself", "Pip/Pips/Piplupself", or "Pachi/Pachis/Pachiriself" pronouns.
In Homestuck, different in-universe characters have different 'quirks' when they type. One character might replace all their 'E's and 'I's with '3's and '1's when they type. "Th3y typ3 l1k3 th1s". Another character might replace their 'S's with 'Z's and capitalize the last letter of every word. "theY typE likE thiZ". Some people, typically HS kinnies or DID fakers who like HS, will claim to have a typing quirk...
So they adopt their typing quirk into their pronouns.

'hope' and 'despair are both themes present in DanganRonpa - it's safe to assume these are 'fandom pronouns'
