    Anybody who thinks the group in this photo are "mutants" has never been outside. Go to a mall pretty much anywhere in the United States and you'll find a facsimile of each person within a ten minute period of people watching. What do they think "normal people" look like, a propoganda piece/ad from the 1950's?

      That's what I said to them - they said they don't need 'hulking miner blokes' (as I called them), but just 'normal people'. What disqualifies most of these people from being 'normal', I'm not sure of.

        It's literally probably just that 2 of them have dyed hair. They don't even see anyone else in the pic.

        It's been memed on so hard in right wing circles that some segment of people exposed to it just completely turn off their brains. They're just like "that's the barista from my political compass meme (also baristas aren't workers, they're elitists)".

        This typically comes from people who aren't being socialized and need playdates, because if they stepped outside for a bit, they'd notice colored hair is just really common and lots of types of people do it.
