    Are you just joining in on the hate train with everyone else here, or are you legitimately offended by my comment? Because I’m confused as to why everyone’s upset with me here.

    Is it not in bad taste to impersonate a shooter, at a movie theater no less? It’s not like red curly hair is a common look, either, so I don’t suspect everyone here are upset because they look similar to that.

      I’m not offended, I just think you’re overestimating how many people will think of some shooter from severally years ago when dying their hair and underestimating how many people dye their hair

      Just cause a shooter also did it doesn’t mean that he’s impersonating the shooter.

      Not the commenter, but you’re literally gaslighting on someone’s appearance. It’s not like he chose to have red hair…

          Well maybe he likes the band Water Parks. You can’t just ban a hair color just because someone else with that hair color decided to do some bad shit.

              Oh yeah, true. I think I glossed over some context there. Of course you’re right that choosing to dye your hair a certain color means you chose that hair color lol

              I mean, true. But I don’t think it’s really comparable. People can still dye their hair red and go to the theater without being accused of cosplaying mass murderers. I would sooner think he is emulating Gerard Way or, idk, Drew Gooden.

          Well, if you looked up Jason Holmes (the shooter) you’d see that this guys hair dye is very different.

          That being said, even if it were the same color - the shooter was in full black tactical gear. This random guy couldn’t look any less like him.

            I mean we should feel free to judge that Dollar General spray dye, but not compare him to a mass shooter because of it.
