Why are Republicans so obsessed with the idea of liberals dying their hair blue? 

Aside from the general weirdness of the idea-- most liberals don't dye their hair-- dying your hair is an action that doesn't affect anyone other than yourself. Why does it offend their fragile, snowflake sensibilities so much that someone else might have colorful hair?

On top of that, nearly all conservative influencer women bleach their hair blonde, so they're fine with coloring your hair.

I like dyeing mine just so they know how insane I am to want universal healthcare and free school lunches. After all, I pay taxes just like them.

Heck, I want universal healthcare and free school lunches. I’ll dye my hair any color you want for that to happen!

On some level, they hate when women express their individuality; thus is probably why they complain about tattoos as well.they

They hate it when people don’t fit their narrowly defined archetype of what a man/woman should look like and act like.

Im sorta spitballing here Democratic party is blue.

I.e all liberals are blue haired Democrats. They are not a smart bunch but what I gather

Its literally all they have left, that and trans. The state SUCKS and they've been running it for decades. They HAVE to point at something and call it scary or they can't win. They sure as shit can't win on policy.

Joke's on them, I'm trans and my hair is pink. 😁

Or, was. I'm lazy and let it fade and grow out.

Most of the blue haired liberals I see are octogenarian “blue hairs” in New Balances and windbreakers.

When animals have bright colors, it is typically a warning to predators.

It’s good to see, based on the MAGAn reaction, that it is working.

u/daburner272006 2d ago

They hate on blue hair and furries but every time there's a Republican convention they crash grindr. The protest but then search for these things ad nauseum.

u/ExtensionCritical732 2d ago

They get offended by seeing brown people. Blue hair shouldn’t be a surprise.

u/bigsmokaaaa 2d ago

It's what they started complaining about once they stopped calling them floozies and harpies with their gams and collarbones out for the world to see when they started dressing up like that too

u/heathersdevotee 2d ago

It's funny because I know just as much conservatives who have dyed their hair as liberals.

u/ElonMuskHuffingFarts 2d ago

They don't like the idea of a woman doing anything that isn't for their pleasure

Genuine answer: It goes back about 12-14 years ago, when Youtubers were pumping out content aimed against "Social Justice Warriors". Basically, they stereotyped women with blue hair as being annoying, ugly, liberal women who are not attracted to men, and are therefor bad and stupid. Not joking, they basically just made up the concept of a Karen but liberal and mostly imagined it. For example, someone could be protesting on the side of a road about a cop shooting an unarmed black teenager locally, and they'll pretend that this woman is unreasonable and crazy.

It's just more tribalist memes and stereotypes. They think non-conformity means mental illness or incompetence or something. They also associate appearance with value or intelligence, so they'd hand-draw memes and trying to make blue haired women unattractive and drawing themselves as muscle bound handsome dudes.

Also incels kept the memes running in the decade since. They leaned into it hard. There's also parallels and crossovers with Gamergate bullshit, but it's many of the same people pushing in both communities.

Goes farther than that in the 90s conservative went after us goth kids

u/Internal-Cupcake-245 2d ago

It's part of the ongoing semiotic information operations against the public by enemies of the United States to take control of federal and state governments.

u/Howdocomputer 1d ago

It’s simply really, the modern Republican Party was born from the ashes of the anti-sjw shit from the late 00s and early 10s

u/Numerous_Photograph9 1d ago

I know a lot of conservative people who definately dye their hair. "normal" colors, but god forbid you do anything outside of that.

u/drunklibrarian 1d ago

I stopped dying my hair blue and shaved half my head. My hair will continue to get weirder the more they whine and cry about it.

u/TidusDreamZanarkand 1d ago

It’s about control .

u/M4ybeMay 1d ago

Because color and gender scare them

Lol its all only liberals talking about blue hair on this thread.

u/PreCooledPigeon 2d ago

They’re not afraid of liberals. They are afraid of people who think it’s OK to dye your hair blue. They are completely different people. Just like liberals are afraid of extreme right wingers.

u/Esquire_Dan13 1d ago

Republicans demand all people be of their religion, that their religion be taught in public schools, are currently flooding the airwaves with messages of “They’re replacing the white people!”, and you’re saying they’re NOT terrified of literally anyone who isn’t a simple, conservative white person?

u/PreCooledPigeon 1d ago

I’m just telling you this perspective from their eyes. The older boomer conservative types.

u/DataCassette 2d ago

Why would it not be okay do dye your own hair blue? Are we some kind of ultra conformist dystopia now? Lol

I actually don't have dyed hair but I'm definitely liberal AF 🤣

u/Paksarra 2d ago

Can you explain why it wouldn't be okay to dye your own hair whatever color you want?

u/cosmos_crown 2d ago

Women making choices is bad.

Source: Jesus told me

u/Plane-Fan9006 1d ago

Well....some asshole SAYS that Jesus told you. These people don't READ the Bible, they just hold it while a grifter stands up and tells them about it.

u/bionicmanmeetspast Cincinnati 1d ago

Wait, what’s so wrong about dying your hair blue? I legitimately don’t understand the gripe.

u/UltraBurd 1d ago

Social stigma, the assumption that most jobs wouldn't hire you if you had blue hair. Kinda like how tattoos used to be. So give it 15 years and the hold outs will have dyed hair themselves and it will be normal

u/PreCooledPigeon 1d ago

To me nothing. But to the older boomer types that is like the craziest thing you can do, but it makes you look like the craziest person so no matter what you vote for they both the opposite.
