       I decided I'd post the questions I got on our FU ask. https://ask.freak.university/@ParaphiliaFlags

       All asks anonymous.==================Q: Will you be adding definitions to flags? There are many paras which I don't know, and doubt that it would easy to find their definition.A: Yes, I am working on it. It's not going to be very fast on the existing uploads, because it's... a lot of work, but the new stuff will be uploaded complete with definitions.You also can ask me about anything directly, and I'll answer.In fact, it would be great to be asked about particular terms/files, because when I find a definition for someone asking, I add it to the relevant files immediately, and it's much easier than just going through the list like I do when I have no requests. Also, if I'm regularly asked about something, chances are than I'll add definitions to the most interesting or confusing terms first instead of wasting my time on explaining what lolicon is just because the flag was first in the file list.As for finding definitions on your own, a good place to start (well, after a simple web search), is a list of paraphilias on MAP Wiki (https://map-wiki.com/index.php/List_of_paraphilias). It's not, and probably won't be, 100% comprehensive, as it's supposed to only list terms that are at least somewhat recognized (and a flag for something existing doesn't guarantee that the term is recognized), but it is being updated and expanded (I myself added a couple of terms there recently).----------------Q: Does the symbol you use as the profile picture has any meaning?A: Yes! I call it Expansive Diversity symbol, and it represents infinite ways to identify, define and develop own and collective identity. The arrows represent expansion and breaking of natural limits, and drops, one separate from the central part, one touching it, and one merged with it, represent diversification and merging of identities.(Commentary: This refers to the icon on FU ask, not the paraphilia flag I use as an icon here.)----------------Q: What is fox omni AAM?A: AAM stands for Adult Attracted Minor, omni- is as in "omnisexual" (attracted to all genders with preferences), "fox" is just a theme/aesthetics.Modified description here:https://flags.nnia.space/index.php/File:Fox_omni_AAM_by_mediocervidae.png----------------Q: Maybe add it to the page with other resources?https://archive.is/ghostiemogai.miraheze.orgA: Thanks, added!----------------Q: Do you know alternative flags for pokephilia? The one on the wiki looks similar to the DID flag which was made by sysmeds. (If I remember correctly)A: In fact, I do! These were sitting unposted somewhere in my personal archive for a while.https://flags.nnia.space/index.php/File:Pokephilia_by_unknown.pnghttps://flags.nnia.space/index.php/File:Pokephilia_2_by_unknown.png----------------Q: What is tantric love? And why it's in the normophilia category?A: It seems to be a misclassification on my part. I think "tantric love" actually refers to this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantric_sex) or something similar, and that's not a normophilia or even an attraction in general, but instead a range of spiritual practices.I changed the categories to something more fitting to the best of my ability.

       Q: Lolikodo means that a person attracted to lolis and kodos?A: It's been more than two days, and I bring you a short answer (yes), and a long one.You see, the meaning of the flag you're referring to (https://flags.nnia.space/index.php/File:Lolikodocon_by_anonymous.png) and the line of flags it belongs to bears some unclarity in two different domains for two different reasons.I'll start with a simpler one. The flags seemingly originated somewhere on Discord, and then were brought into publicity trough a Twitter thread. The person who posted them wasn't the creator, and they were also somewhat careless with descriptions. The first tweet of the thread mentions that these flags are for loli-, shota- and kodo- CON (attraction, genre and community), but it's a short word that is easy to miss - and the rest of the tweets just says "loli", "shota", etc.The result? The flags were taken and spread by some as flags for people identifying as lolis, shotas and so on. These were even brought to me personally as identity flags, but I had my doubts, and I kept and then uploaded them under ambiguous filenames. Now I can say for sure they were meant as attraction flags, but you could easily meet people who use them as identity flags. I'd say, there is a correct meaning, but the correct one is not the only one.The second source of confusion (and annoyance to me personally) is that kodo is likely meant by this person as a nonbinary equivalent for lolis and shotas (hence, lolikodoshotacon flag (https://flags.nnia.space/index.php/File:Lolikodoshotacon_by_anonymous.png)), but... it's a bad term for that matter. As a nonbinary person, I see this carelessness all the time, and every time it's the same: people assume that nonbinary means gender neutral, and what's worse, gender neutral means nonbinary. But it's not. "Human" is gender neutral, but a woman, a man and a nonbinary person are all humans. "Human" is not nonbinary people's own word, they only have it for themselves when men and women are mentioned separately. Similarly, "kodo" just means "child" and it is gender neutral, and it is not inherently nonbinary. Nonbinary kodocon needs its own word, because what's the point of making a flag if you'll be calling it something that directly shows that nonbinariness just an afterthought?There are two independently coined terms for nonbinary kodocon that I'm aware of.First is mine, cronacon. It's coined in 2020, and frankly, pretty awkward, because Crona from Soul Eater was the only anime nonbinary child I could remember, and they're not exactly a kodocon icon. I love them a lot, and yet they spend most of the series in their mid-teens, and people too, mostly like them being a teen. Several people liked the term, someone made symbology for it, I've seen it mentioned. But it was never widespread, and I suppose it's for a good reason.A second one, nanacon, was coined mere two weeks ago, and it seems to be from someone who's better equipped to talk about kodocon than me. At least, Nanachi from Made in Abyss is more of a child, and does look like someone a kodocon could like. I haven't yet made all the references to the term I'd like across the wiki, but I like it a lot.In any case, I'm iffy about interpreting a "kodo" as a nonbinary child, even if it's the intended way to think about it. I also think lolikodo could potentially mean kodocon with loli leanings, you know? I've never talked to the creator of the flags, and I don't know for sure. In all honesty, I'd rather like the kodo leaning loli interpretation to be the primary one. But I guess the time will show what people prefer.Anyway. Thanks mod Lecter for making a page with all the kodocon stuff we have, because it would take me several days of procrastination more. I am planning to add more context and corrections to the descriptions, but I believe it already has everything an average kodocon might need from a flag archive. I'm sending peace and hot anime children your way.https://flags.nnia.space/index.php/Kodocon_flags

       Q: Has anyone made a flag for para allies?A: I am not aware of any. Anyone?----------------Q: Is there a term for being attracted to to age groups? I don’t like bi chrono or pan chrono as a term (though I am bisexual and pansexual)A: I'm not entirely sure what are you talking about. Is the second "to" a typo of "two"? If so, do you mean two of these (https://flags.nnia.space/index.php/Flags_of_chronophilias), or something like minors and adults (that's bi-aionic, https://map-wiki.com/index.php/Uncommon_MAP_identities#Bi-aionic), or something else?I'll try to look through what I have on this matter, but I don't promise a definite answer until I understand the question. I might add something to this answer as a comment if I find something that looks fitting.----------------Q: (Continuing from the last ask) I am a hebephile and teleiophile and find children younger than 10 and those ages 15-19 unattractive (sexually at least). I used non exclusive map for a couple weeks now but felt increasingly unsatisfied by the term. I didn’t like pan chrono as it was to inclusive. For now I will use bi aionic. Thanks btw. I like the termA: Oh, that's great! Bi-aionic is a nice term and it would nice if it was used more.
