To be clear, I did not intend to call you a bigot. However, I do find your stance to be come off as gatekeeper-y. IE: People can only wear glasses that fit the style and use cases I find acceptable.
I also seriously doubt the choice was made to be more inclusive of others.
They have one drawing with glasses and one without glasses, I would argue that they are trying to be inclusive. But let’s say they aren’t being inclusive and don’t care about other people. What happens if they wear glasses themselves and are doing it solely to represent themselves? That’s also great.
Like if the unicorn was not pushing on the rims and they were smaller I would not have made a big deal.
This is the gatekeeper part, this comes off as saying that you’re fine with glasses but only in certain circumstances. What happens if they made it big and were pushing on the glasses because they thought it looked cute and added to the dynamism of the drawing?
I also think it’s totally cool not to like the drawing.
However getting on a soap box to yell about either fashion changing
If that cartoon had been done 20 years ago do you think it would look like that?
or because society has become accepting of something that used to be seen a lot more negatively
Like I have no problem with people that actually wear or wore glasses because they needed them but there are droves and droves of tech wannabes do it for the fashion.
Likewise I’m annoyed with the whole glasses some how being either a new sex symbol, innocence, or technical prowess of which there is zero correlation.
Is a really cynical and mean take to have against someone just trying to share some drawings they were proud of (or trying to share the work of their partner that they were also proud of).
BTW I wrote this on my standing desk :)
And wanting to rally against late-stage capitalism and the pervasiveness of marketing is also great. But then I have to ask, why get mad at what you’re implying are the victims of the system and not the system itself?
