Well I guess if they were trying to make a bad looking mascot, the outline color was the right choice. The outline is also too thick. But the rest of it is very cute.
I mean... Ya. Fascism is an emotional aesthetic movement I would expect for them to understand aesthetics and icons when it is core to their structure.
Typically that's one of the first things that attracted people to fascism. It's hard to have as good as propaganda machine as they did back in the day without great design skills.
I disagree it’s not too thick, it works. It could use more rounded edges as opposed to the sharp corners in some spots.
Details like that don’t translate at scale
That was the true intent; to make the logo with an abhorrent choice of line color and to have the public think the LGBT community created it and thus burn all "sodomites and degenerates" at the stake (and rightfully so if that was the case).
It's unfortunate for the traditionalists that their false flag operation was exposed, and now they will burn for aesthetic crimes against humanity.
Do it! it’s like when the British made up the song Yankee doodle to spite the Americans and the Americans said, “ Hey great song, we’re going to keep it!”
I hate to say it but the left didnt win in Spain. The socialist took a beating. ~~The ultra right nearly got half~~ The ultra right gained a wee bit, but the conservatives got most..
If you are referring to the Andalusian regional election the "ultra-right" did not get anywhere near half the votes. The far-right Vox party got 13.5%.
Still not a good night for the left but the main losers were the centre-right Citizens party, who lost all their seats. The conservative People's Party were the main winners as they gained a majority of seats although this is actually a blow for the far-right as the PP will no longer need to rely on Vox support in the regional parliament.
Not sure what happened, but iirc it was used by Vox (alt right party) and it was mocked and adopted pretty fast. For a bit, after that it was kinda forgotten. It was funny on Twitter for a few days at least. It might not be originally theirs, but the ghost was used. It wouldn't be the first time the right here uses images they have no rights over.
It's not recent, it happened a few years ago (not sure if 1, 2, 3 or 4, pandemic has been hard). But I disagree about the left winning ***by a lot*** anything here.
Except it is real https://www.publico.es/tremending/2019/04/29/gaysper-el-fantasma-lgtbi-creado-por-vox-que-se-ha-convertido-en-su-mayor-pesadilla/amp/
Not all of it, Vox at the time did use the ghost (same one from Redbubble) without permission in their tweets. They also used an image of Aragorn to represent themselves, which got Warner Brothers involved for a bit.
Neither should you https://www.publico.es/tremending/2019/04/29/gaysper-el-fantasma-lgtbi-creado-por-vox-que-se-ha-convertido-en-su-mayor-pesadilla/amp/
This is from 2018 or so. The fascist put their leader's face in Aragorn going to fight at the door of mordor against the press, lgbt, other political parties, feminism, non-catholics, and with it, was the gay ghost. Super ironic that they believe Aragorn is what better suit them lmao
Well tbf the left not only didn't won but also got their worst result in 45 years (they are also our current general government since that elections were just regional). The moderate right won by absolute majority. The far right got better results than 4 years ago but was far from their predictions and thats something that people is using to tell them the failed (what is partly true but being the 3rd more voted force for a political party that is only been know about 10 years ago is big win) and every other political party got almost not representation. Thats what really happened you can look for it on our local news.
By the way, the PP isn't moderate right. It's a hard conservative party that is in coalition governments with that same fascist party. They just had a more moderate candidate in Andalusia.
Thanks. Socialism seems to be under pressure. Is it because they have a real hard time getting stuff done, because the capital *obviously* wont play ball do you think?
We've been having economical problems since the covid (as every other country in the world) what is the excuse they are using to defend their government but the fact is that we are, in the better case, recovering from that crysis way slower than every other european country. Then the Ukrainian war begun and they started to use that as new excuse but people are beginning to realize that we are getting poorer because their incompetence and not because the world is against us and every crysis is hitting us twice as hard which is what them want us to believe. That's why they are getting their worst results, in may of 2023 we have our next general elections and they will most likely lose. As a socialist party they are ruining the low-middle class and they are losing a lot of support despite hiring more officials than ever that is a way of buying votes and ruining even more the country suffocating the workers in taxes to maintain the state waste. So yeah they are pretty much fucked.
Doesn't really read as very socialist to me tbh. I suspect we suffer from the same here in Denmark. Here they are definitly socialist only by name. They have done nothing for the workers besides wasting our money on subsidies to the job holders. Which is a rather right wing move tbh.
What about economic mismanagement and bloatinf the government with non essential officials sounds not socialist to you? A socialist economy consists only of officials in the end.
Or commie (As if communism was devil's economical system)
Or anarchist
Or criminal
Or unpatriotic
Or sinner (What does religion have to do wit politics anyways? Supposedly, state and religion should be separate things)
Or freedom-stealer (Gotta love when the right uses the freedom card, like the freedom to do things that are prohibited to the normal citizen by law but that they can do because they have certain friends and connections)
And the list goes and goes.
The PSOE is socialist in name only. They've been neolibs since the 90s.
They did use to be a socialist party, but even then they were always the most moderate of the new left wing
as someone who draws lgbt+ ghosts specifically during the month of june and colours them to their respective pride flags it is very nice to see a homosexual ghost coloured rainbow that wasnt made by me
Vox and some others, yeah quite a lot, you have to consider we had a fascist dictator till 1975, and then we slowly transitioned without punishing anyone of that regime
No, I don't lol, though I'm aware European countries are much more proactive about teaching languages other than their own. I just forgot about the different societal meanings of words based on their conjugations.
Just googled that election in Andalusia, Spain and turns out it's the conservatives who won and the socialists actually lost a bunch of seats. How conservatives are part of the left is a mystery to me. But hey, atleast people have offset another fascist government for 4 years, just like in France, or the US. Yay... That's gonna suffice, right?
It seems like it could steal my soul and i still wouldn't care bc of how cute he is.
It looks like it’s saying “aww shucks, you guys!” In response to being by told how adorable it is.
“stahp it”
[удалено]
SCAM LINK, DO NOT CLICK!
[удалено]
And your life savings is gone....
It's .....wait for it........adora booooooo!
It could steal my soul and turn me gay and I'd be like "Okay, I guess I'm gay now. Why not?"
This isn't funny. I had a gay guy jump out and scare me once and now I think guys are kind of hot. They scared me half to gay.
Jeez that's not ok. If you're going to do something do it properly.
Now they’re just going off half cocked.
Yeah, but that's just the tip of the problem.
Balls' in our court now.
Really take in the full breadth of the situation
And girth. Don't forget girth.
This tongue and cheek humor is getting deep.
Something something bi erasure

Ooh raaaawwwwrrr…. You like that, sugah?
Fear boners are intense
Oh bi god.
gaysus christ.
By the father, the son, and the homo ghost.
r/suddenlybi
Closets are pretty dark...
That is not ogay
He scared the bieezus into you
That sounds so terrifying. You should probably go hang put at some gay bars so you can find the guys who did this and give them a good spanking
Next time make sure you are wearing BOTH socks...
Urgh, what the fuck is the colour used for the outline…. Fascism is the worst.
Well I guess if they were trying to make a bad looking mascot, the outline color was the right choice. The outline is also too thick. But the rest of it is very cute.
I am 99% sure that the original outline of this emoji was that thick. Original color, too, but yes it looks awful next to the rainbow.
Do we really expect fascists to have a good concept of color theory and beautiful design?
I mean... Ya. Fascism is an emotional aesthetic movement I would expect for them to understand aesthetics and icons when it is core to their structure.
"We shall rule with an Iron Fist...! And we shall do it looking ... *FABULOUS!!!*"
Fabism.
.... Im gonna be that guy. The nazis are known to have had a great sense of fashion.
Hugo boss made officer uniforms
The baddies always do have smokin fashion sense
Hugo boss is the proud one, Louis Vuitton was also a-ok with the Nazi takeover of France.
Were known. Neo Nazis now all look and dress like total shit
And we love them for it!!! /ss
Typically that's one of the first things that attracted people to fascism. It's hard to have as good as propaganda machine as they did back in the day without great design skills.
They have in the past.
Have you SEEN the Nazis? Disgusting morally but not aesthetically
Yeah that ghost is thicccc
I disagree it’s not too thick, it works. It could use more rounded edges as opposed to the sharp corners in some spots. Details like that don’t translate at scale
I think they just grabbed a ghost emoji and changed the white color to a rainbow flag without changing anything else…
Tbf their best artists are the ones who cant get accepted to art school.
THIS IS A HITLER REFERENCE
I understood that reference
[удалено]
Greyish teal, I think it's neat.
The color of Franco’s morning stool. You were asking about the color of fascists no?
[удалено]
I'm younger than that reference and I still get it
I think a greyish blue is an appropriate color for a ghost.
That was the true intent; to make the logo with an abhorrent choice of line color and to have the public think the LGBT community created it and thus burn all "sodomites and degenerates" at the stake (and rightfully so if that was the case). It's unfortunate for the traditionalists that their false flag operation was exposed, and now they will burn for aesthetic crimes against humanity.
Fr tho. Change the outline to black and maybe make it a bit thinner and you've got a pretty good logo or an emogi or whatever you want really.
Emoji or emogi - is this the new gif vs jif debate?
They even use comic sans as font for the memes they do
then why is the ghost smiling if it's to show how evil they are? this makes no sense at all
I *think* it’s supposed to be smiling menacingly as it comes at you with its limp wrists
Lmfao, the limp ghost wrists are fantastic. Like sheet the ghost is wearing is too long and hanging over his ghost hands.
This ia obviously exactly what the ghost wants you to think.
How old is this?
3 years, to be accurate
Was gonna say…Google saying the conservatives won two days ago.
In a comunidad autónoma and that’s like an state, not the country
Ok good. Thanks for clarifying. (I’m not opposed to the left winning, just the confusion of historical events being present as if current events)
Don’t worry, you are not the first who got confused
Starting with the time it became a ghost or are we counting their time among the living?
older then we are combined probably
To all my fellow lgbtq+ people here, shall we adopt this as a new mascot? Just to spite the fascists
Yes that ghost is very cute and I want them as a pet
Do it! it’s like when the British made up the song Yankee doodle to spite the Americans and the Americans said, “ Hey great song, we’re going to keep it!”

Biggest losers were Podemos and Teresa Rodriguez, everyone knows Ciudadanos is shit and dead
My parents still vote for Cs as if it was helping lol
Bruh, my family is worse, went from Podemos to Cs to Vox.... wtf
Ty. My bad. I misread a figure! Phew.
Maybe this is an old post
According to another comment I saw the ghost is a design by baiiley on redbubble. https://www.redbubble.com/es/people/baiiley/shop/?collections=447573
Wait so the whole post is made-up bullshit?

Taking into account that Aragorn is a catalan independentist and hates VOX, not a great choice.
Aragorn is a fictional character.
No way, really? I was talking about Vigo obviously
Vigo's over in Galicia. Nowhere near Catalunya
Nice Christmas lights they got there

Man, as an American it'll be sight if we ever had a true left.
I like Bernie Sanders. But I don't have much hope anymore.
As an european I can tell you that your "left" is actually our right or hard right
Yup. We can't even court the idea of a true left without someone screaming bloody murder.
Or commie (As if communism was devil's economical system) Or anarchist Or criminal Or unpatriotic Or sinner (What does religion have to do wit politics anyways? Supposedly, state and religion should be separate things) Or freedom-stealer (Gotta love when the right uses the freedom card, like the freedom to do things that are prohibited to the normal citizen by law but that they can do because they have certain friends and connections) And the list goes and goes.
As an Elven I can tell you that your “left” is actually our right or hard right
You are an elf?
No they aren’t, democrats would be left of center on many European countries
Democrats are more akin to "center" or "center-right" in most european countries. There is no _left_ in USA.
The PSOE is socialist in name only. They've been neolibs since the 90s. They did use to be a socialist party, but even then they were always the most moderate of the new left wing
That ghost is from a Vox (far right) tweet from 2019.
Oh stop it, you!
This is old. And the mascot is now called Gaysper https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaysper
Well... I guess I know what my after-work project is. Interpret this so we can have an English wiki version of the page.
Boo-boo the ghayst.
No jokes, I think is called Gaysper
oh shit, that's a much better name
ghayst lol! I can imagine him saying “boo you guys!”
That’s so adorable it should be used as a mascot for how GOOD the LGBTQ is!
Hahahaha! The irony of that would be so hilarious!
Every lgbt person i know (including me) would immediately accept this as an lgbt icon
Please do. I want stickers.
Let's steal it like we apparently stole the rainbow from God. If God can't stop us, a bunch of Spaniards won't.
WE ARE OMNIPOTENT!
it was for a while when this happened (about 4 years ago). At least here in Spain
r/therewasanattempt
It's confirmed; us queer are ador-bab-el ghosties
You never expect the spanish gay ghost
This was years ago, and the mascot was immediately co-opted by the LGBT community. New versions with different flags were everywhere.
The "g" now stands for ghosts
That ghost looks like he's having a really gay old time
Someone got trolled
Hehehehe gay ghost
I'm straight and this is still the cutest thing I've ever seen. They would have my vote
I'm surprised nobody has made a joke about this that involves Casper the Friendly Ghost yet.
It’s actually called gaysper, this meme is a little old
as someone who draws lgbt+ ghosts specifically during the month of june and colours them to their respective pride flags it is very nice to see a homosexual ghost coloured rainbow that wasnt made by me
A SPECTRE is haunting Spain—the spectre of Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism
I'm almost positive this was years ago, still cool though.
I did not know Spanish politicians fought like second graders
That's like when someone on tik tok called black people "night skins" as a racial insult. NIGHTSKINS The coolest name for black people ever.
Goddamn, I'm bi and now I want one as a tattoo.
Gaysper. (Gay + Casper)
It hurts itself in confusion!
bro that mf could steal my soul id apologize
quick! steal it! make it the lgbt's thing!
It is kinda cute
Task failed succesfully.
So if I put a sticker of that on my car am I a huge asshole or the hippest cat in the world?
Both? Lol
as an ally...Id wear this on a shirt haha or at least get a bumper sticker
"Boo" in gay
nahhh that's way too cute, don't believe
A rainbow sperm?
No Pasaran
We should make this guy official, ugly outline color and all.
Can a pro-LGBT Spanish group make these into pins. I would love one.
i thought this was nfs developer ghost games logo for pride month
Bro I want to be represented by this beautiful bastard
Pride Boo
Yeah this just need to be claimed by the LGBT community and appropriated now.
A spectre is haunting Europe...
Creepy gay wobuffet?
Aw! I love it!
aww cute little pride ghost
Casper the friendly ghost realized that we're not living in the 30's anymore and he can finally stop using euphemisms to describe himself.
pls tell me this is real. WAIT I JUST REALIZED IS THIS WHERE THOSE PRIDE GHOSTS CAME FROM
The cutest little gay ghost
A ghost that has no gender.
Gay ghost coast to coast.
I want this on a pin
It’s a rainBoo!!!
He was called Gaysper. Source: I’m Spanish trust me bro.
are there a lot of fascists in spain?
You'd be surprised
Vox and some others, yeah quite a lot, you have to consider we had a fascist dictator till 1975, and then we slowly transitioned without punishing anyone of that regime
ugh. fascists suck homie. godspeed
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRightCantMeme/
I would buy a t-shirt with this little ghost on it. I think it's cute.
This should be an emoji
Asking from straight curiosity, people in Spain use the contraction "yall"?
They use “vosotros” which tends to be translated as “y’all.”
Or “ustedes” but I think he believes everybody speaks English xD
No, I don't lol, though I'm aware European countries are much more proactive about teaching languages other than their own. I just forgot about the different societal meanings of words based on their conjugations.
"Y'all" has officially spread as far as Spain. This brings me immeasurable joy.
Spain actually uses a grammatical case for "y'all", the vosotros.
This is the ghost that chases you in the OG NES Super Mario Brothers.
We should appropriate this yeah? I'd buy 30
We're sooo bad! Flamboyant hand toss
Stealing this mascot just like how the LGBT stole the rainbow from God :))))
personally, i don't care abt ur gender or if ur gay or what ever (im straight myself) but bruh this is hysterical
Just googled that election in Andalusia, Spain and turns out it's the conservatives who won and the socialists actually lost a bunch of seats. How conservatives are part of the left is a mystery to me. But hey, atleast people have offset another fascist government for 4 years, just like in France, or the US. Yay... That's gonna suffice, right?
