    Oh, this is a classic. Here's the full image:

    And among the many, many amazing reference posts that followed it, this is my favorite:

        If they were trolling, it would be top-tier. Just ignore the fucking obvious, tell them that they’re wrong, and then condescendingly tell them to educate themselves.

          Jesus being a carpenter while not wrong is somewhat a mistranslation, Jesus would’ve been closer to a general laborer who knew carpentry. Jesus definitely knew how to swear in multiple languages and definitely knew how to insult people in a practical cavalcade of languages.

              Well he most likely lashed to the cross, the Romans didn’t really nail people to crosses too slow and required higher quality nails. Not to say they didn’t but it was a rarity moreso reserved for warfare and not criminals.

    I saw a more fleshed out version with the quote: “Colour theory don’t mean shit when you’re leaving blood trails”. I think about that when colour theory and this meme are being discussed.

    Fun fact about color theory: it’s situational and tied to context. You can’t just follow it blindly like some moron.

    Beyond the basic “red means stop” or “blue feels calm” stuff, there are cultural associations that can’t be ignored. Take purple and green, for example. In the U.S., you’ll rarely see them paired in a corporate brand because pop culture, especially comics, has used that combo for villains so often. Think the Joker, Green Goblin, Maleficent… it’s baked into the visual shorthand.

    Like it or not, those patterns get lodged in a culture’s collective subconscious. People will still use the combo, but someone who dislikes it often can’t explain why. The reason is decades of media have trained their brain to read “purple + green = bad.”

    Same with red streaks. Our monkey brains connect it to danger or injury almost instantly. That one’s probably wired into us from way back. See blood, assume something’s wrong.

        Aye, I was more pissed about this color equals this emotion logic thrown out by the idiot in the screenshot. Also the person using it in this context transcends ignorance to a new level of stupid unfounded.

      Thanks for explaining why I “love” green+purple, but somehow always shy away from it… looks great, feels odd

    Stated with so much authority, and “blood, gore, injury” etc aren’t even included. What a bloody idiot.

    If it were teal with purple streaks, it’d look like the jazz cup design from the 90s. Much cooler than the current ‘ISIS video studio’ design.

          Depends on your age, and your influences. Lust is a big part of why young people become groomed.

            It probably more is the difference of lust vs desire. Lust implying sinful attraction, or excessive attraction.

            Also note, I don’t think that way about those words personally, but it was the first reason I could think of for why it would be included in the negative stuff.

    It looks more like brown on my screen, which could look like something else: as if a dog pooped in the hall and a Roomba ran over it.

    ffs they could’ve done something as easy (and given less paint used, possibly cheaper) by putting little hearts down. But no, some idiot heard the word abattoir and decided that art style would fit right in at a hospital.

    Smears of almost ANY color is a terrible idea for hospital decor. I think blue and purple are the only ones that maybe could pass but it’s still a bad idea
