    Is green white and purple some kind of terf dog whistle now? A ton of this dumbasses have it on their profiles.

        The deeper origin for that is a r*pe joke from 4chan. Gamergaters literally made that the color scheme for their mascot as a reference to that joke.

          That's kinda true, but it was more of a shock value thing ala Goatse. It just got spammed so often that the green + purple color palette became it's own joke like Loss or whatever.
          It becoming a terf dogwhistle is news to me but I don't exactly keep up with that kind of thing :scared:

      technically they've lifted it from the colors of early 1900s suffragettes, but the Gamergate comparisons are definitely more apt.
