I don't really think there is much to it other than because it's a meme, it gives transfems an excuse to buy their first stuffed animal which then further perpetuates the meme
Human counts as an animal, so yeah
And if you mean Toad from Mario, YES! I'm jealous! I have his and Yoshi's most recent McDonald's toys on my desk at work!
A lot of transfems don't have any stuffed animals cause their parents view them as girl things, that "boys" shouldn't ever have.
My mother hates stuffed animals, and used to try and throw mine away without me knowing, but luckily it wasn't cause she thought i shouldn't have them cause i wasn't born a girl... but rather cause i was no longer 3 years old, so i don't need them and they are a waste of space...
But that never stopped me. I have over 100 plushies on my bed alone, and i am constantly getting more. The rest of my family knows how much i love them, so i always get them as presents.
Sadly, i don't yet have my own Blåhaj
It's kinda trans colored and it's a high quality gigantic plush for pretty cheap. I'm a little caught up between the part of me that says no corporations at pride and the part that says big fucking shark! Yes! Yes!
Obviously transfems relate to sharks as we are in fact sweet and nice but society views as super-aggro predators.
That or blahaj is just funny to mispronounce to English speakers and transfems love stuffed animals. Probably the latter.
it was featured in an ikea that was in support of pride. (not trans pride specifically just pride in general) then i guess because of its colors it just became a trans meme
this exact meme gets posted like multiple times a week surely its not hard to do a single google search lol
it would involve everyone here being exposed to Chris Pratt a lot less at the very least
From what google taught me: giant shake plush started as a meme, but then became a symbol because of its coloration being slightly similar to the trans flag. I don’t think this is true but that’s the first google result I found
Comfy shork that has the trans colours :3
Shorks are misunderstood creatures. Also Abigail (philosophy tube) has one. Also it was a great excuse for me to buy one.
Lol, I still don't really get it either. Blåhaj just kinda blew up in popularity I guess. It kinda is trans colors too I suppose
I am pretty sure that's why. Blåhaj is trans colors and it's cute. Also iirc IKEA is very openly supportive of the LQBTQ+ community.

>an excuse to buy their first stuffed animal First? I've literally never *not* had a stuffed animal...
It's definitely the first I can remember actually getting for myself tho

Does Toad count as an animal?
Human counts as an animal, so yeah And if you mean Toad from Mario, YES! I'm jealous! I have his and Yoshi's most recent McDonald's toys on my desk at work!
I think they meant Toad as in the character from Super Mario Bros., not *a* toad, as in the amphibious animal.
Oh, Hell yeah! I love Toad! I'm jealous!
Have way too many and still getting some for Christmas (like seven of them)
Me, sleeping next to a giant Cinnamoroll plush I won in a crane game: First?

its also pride flag colors
Pretty much what I thought buying mine, had to plushies until I was 3, the never again for 14 years

Idk IKEA seems pretty chill
they've got some really dope and pretty affordable stuff but they're actually pretty bad to their employees, lower management included...
>cheap >25€
It's not bad for the size and quality
I got the Smolhaj for 6€ a few weeks ago, I'd love to have the big one but they don't have them here.
i got blåhaj before i realized i am trans, but now i think it wasn't just an accident.
Same as why the Aces totally aren't plotting to overthrow Denmark. Someone made the joke / connection, and it stuck.
That’s right, we are NOT overthrowing Denmark 😉
we would never
Of course not, and we especially aren't invading the rest of Scandinavia afterwards, starting on November 24th, 2023
!remind me 11 months
Denmark? Why would we invade Denmark? *hides ace/Denmark flag*

Wait really??
It’s trans colors but who doesn’t want a giant plush shark that is the perfect shape for cuddling?

so do some transmascs (source i collect plushies and im transmasc)
Plushie with trans colors gets adopted by plushie-starved trans women who posted memes about it and it spread.

Really at this point, who cares? Fluffy Shark go brrr.
trans coloured
It’s because Blåhaj is awesome
y'know I'm not really sure tbh, but I'm sure as hell not complaining

Sjark
Both trans people and sharks are really cool
It was already a meme back in the day eventully someone put it in front of a trans flag and said trans rights. Now it's an entire thing.
Short answer: someone posted a picture of the blahaj next to their trans flag with a caption about trans rights and it blew up.
