@alice NO! The only hererosexual colours are beige, brown, khaki, white and black, everything else is GAY!

It's a bit fucked up how my daughter is 9 and my son is 6 but it's my son that isn't allowed wear bright colors any more according to supermarket clothes retailers.

There's an expectation for if the colors are from a computer game.

(Online seems to be the way to go though, we've got him stuff he loves)

@alice@lgbtqia.space omg I was just thinking this yesterday as I walked into the office to see a sea of plain. I've got my summer wardrobe full of colour lined up and ready. People generally compliment it if they say anything at all.

It's really too bad it's not easier to find the colourful clothes. I've built my collection over years and about half are "Hawaiian" style shirts.

Unlock the colour!

@alice Plus for those who don't like bright solid colors (perhaps due to trauma with toxic positivity), multi-color plaids exist (this is what I do when not at home) (I am a plaid enjoyer).

@divVerent @alice It's a whole thing - the Great Male Renunciation. Suddenly in the 18th century men switched from dressing colorfully and flamboyantly to wearing almost nothing but suits.

Great Male Renunciation - Wikipedia

(en.wikipedia.org)

Thought to be because dressing flamboyantly was associated with aristocracy, which became unpopular after the American and French Revolutions.

@alice Black is the best color though

And they're all dead, coincidence?

@joykill
Oh, then my favourite colour, morally gray, is gay also!

@heathen_cat
Maybe some colour accessories would help?

I found a violently pink button-up shirt at a thrift store.

I've never really been worried about whether my clothes were masculine or feminine, unless I was going to a party and wanted to look cute, but with this shirt I'm a bit worried about causing vision damage.

This was an epiphany in my late 20s/ early 30s. I'm still as cishet as I was, but I can just discard performative stuff if I don't enjoy them.

@alice

Can confirm that this still works when a man's in his sixties.

[sasyecat@mstdn.social]

@alice My son works at a deli, and he says the number of angry white people that come in is through the roof now. They may have woke to the fact colors, weren't really their problem.

@lyrial @alice

How else will people know I can't get an erecting without the help of internet porn? - same idiots.

It's okay to see a doctor if this pertains to you.

@alice Is blue a colour ?
