I'm old and out of touch. I bought asexual branded shoelaces because I thought they were nice colours. My daughter laughed at me.
- To be fair, they are nice colors
  
  I wonder if there's some correlation with pride flags and who they represent. I adore the ace colors and fall in that spectrum so I've always wondered if it was like that for others too.
  
  If that even makes any sense.
- This reminds me of when I wore trans pride socks and my mom thought that they were just regular stripy socks and she said "I used to wear socks like that when I was your age" and my sister and I were so confused lmao.
  
  I'm a fabric geek, I don't really care about colour I'm going for plane and shape. At one point I found out about dazzle camouflage from WW1. I started using it as a motif in everything I made. Two easy examples-
  
  I laughed and laughed when I found out black and white stripes was the hetero flag. I got that right anyway 🤣
"Nowadays you can't tell" looking left.... you gonna come out already or not?

OP: THEY are so oblivious.
Sounds quite close minded. I know plenty cis people who have worn pride clothing. That's just a support merch.

I mean, wearing a Volvo t-shirt doesn't make me a Volvo employee.
- According to my research on the internet wearing the male symbol makes you a femboy
  
  Or Austin Powers
  
  Sounds like an upgrade to me
- Wearing a Volvo pride shirt?
  
  Just put this quote from the movie Crazy People on a shirt and you’re golden
  
  Don't kink shame.
- It doesn't, but I'm willing to bet most people that wear Volvo t-shirts work for Volvo.
  
  I’m willing to bet most people wearing car shirts are car nerds and not employees of said company.
I know the point is more about being passing, but imo the goal should be for all people to simply appear to be people. No boxes, no labels, just people who are respected as citizens, as humans
mustve been the wind
- For peace of the Kingdom!

- Funny. I have the same reaction to people randomly announcing they downvote stuff. I just don't proclaim it to everyone.
  
  pretend i posted the reddit mod in training copypasta here
- If something so mundane bothers you enough to announce a downvote you must truly have a rough time on the internet.
- Downvote
  
  Downvote
- I'll just leave this here
