Julius Caesar was assassinated for wearing red boots. Barrack Obama was lambasted for wearing a tan suit. Purple is associated with royalty, white is associated with clergy, and gold is associated with superiority. Red and Blue have powerful meanings in America, and so does Green. Which colour is the most political in your opinion?

77% of national flags contain red.
…Which is a bit disturbing because it is generally used to refer to bloodshed or might in battle - partially in a “let’s honor the past” sort of way, but mostly in a “don’t fuck with us” sort of way.
Fun fact: the flag of Jamaica is the only country flag which has neither red, white or blue.
During the Golden Age of Piracy, pirates would fly a red flag to communicate no quarter. That meant that if anyone decided to fight back would be killed because they were not taking prisoners.
Imagine being a miserable English sailor months from home, broke af, and hungry, when you’re out in the ocean about to head back and you see this pulling up:

Purple is probably the only one that I’m aware of on your list where there’s a legit logic behind it, since dyes used to be harder to come by
Drag thinks maybe there’s a historical reason why white is associated with purity and black with sin, and it ain’t because of the price of dye.
EDIT: Drag just wants to talk about colours, not have to defend drag’s identity!
Drag? What do you mean?
This guy’s gimmick is to speak about himself in the third person. You can safely block him.
Drag does not identify as a guy and drag does not use he/him/himself pronouns. Drag would appreciate not being so blatantly misgendered.
Why not just say I ? It doesn’t make sense to go 3rd person
“I don’t feel that I need to explain my art to you, Warren.”
Someone is taking the “I don’t use pronouns” thing to the most literal extreme.

Did you just assume drag’s person? /Jk

It does if one wants to be really annoying.

Drag’s pronouns are not about you. Drag apologises for the confusion.
Drag is not going third person. Drag is using first person neopronouns. Drag is happy to teach you about grammar structures you’re unfamiliar with. Drag prefers drag’s pronouns over gender neutral pronouns like “I” because drag’s gender is not neutral.
In Japan, there are multiple first person pronouns depending on the speaker’s identity and indeed the specifics of their current social situation. Like watashi, boku, and ore. Drag is doing that.
Also in Japan, if someone refers to themself with their own name, that’s seen as childish or arrogant.
If your first person pronoun is the same as someone referring to you in third person, then you are referring to yourself in third person every time you refer to yourself in first person. And since the idea of a first person neopronoun is exceedingly rare, most people will only think of you as speaking in the third person.
People like you are the reason I used to be so right wing

Drag’s pronoun is in brackets in drag’s display name. Drag wonders why you choose to complain to other people about your own decision not to read the things on your screen.
it would be better if you let people know in your display name that it’s your pronouns, and not, for say, a nickname

pretty sure guy is gender neutral.
but yeah. just using ‘he/him’ for everyone is a crime.
