      It's gotta be a euphemism for lgbt+ and these are incredibly bigoted people. It's the only thing I can think of because I think pearl clutching over dyed hair doesnt make sense.

        It's based on the assumption that anyone, especially women, with brightly coloured hair is either gay or an sjw, to the point that they'll even harass people with natural res hair.

          Then I really don't know what he's talking about because Lenin was totally an SJW. He fought for and established womens rights, same with gay and trans rights in the USSR, same with ethnic minorities in the USSR.

            Not to endorse anything in the post but Lenin almost certainly didnt fight for gay and trans rights. He wasnt homophobic most likely and didnt show prejudice against sexual minorities which is in and of itself amazing for the era but i would be fairly sure that he didnt conciously fight for gay or trans rights or that struggle occupied more than a couple of thoughts through his whole life. The decriminalization of homosexuality under Lenin was because the entire Tsarist legal code was thrown out of the window and (maybe not by accident due to some other socialy progressive members in the party) it wasnt reinstated centraly at that point in time. Lenin probably either didnt care or didnt think about it.

              Oh, guess I stand corrected about that. I thought it was something they explicitly legalized.

            That's what so annoying with "leftists" who says that early communist leaders are trads. Their support for women's right at the time was extremely radical when you consider that the prevailing view on women at the time is that they're barely sapient private property worth less than a horse. Hell, you can argue that even today their views on women is still way more radical liberal feminists as they advocated liberation instead of mere equality.

      Even 50s suburban housewives dyed their hair fun colors since toward the end of that decade blue/pink hair was a trend for a hot min (or so an old lady told me).

      Going to xth that's its code to be bigoted whiny fucks with no hismat and a love of aesthetics over all else.

        Yeah I asked an older woman why so many of them were copying young people and wearing the bright leggings and dying their hair and she said, “you really don’t know shit, do you?” It sent me off kilter lmao

          That's how my convo started, older lady with bright pink hair, figured she was a punk in day, so I asked about the music. She told me nah, they did that back in the 50-60s as a trend and her mom wouldn't let her dye it back then out of fear of ruining her clothes.
