              If personalities were bumper stickers… this would tell me that they were a 13 year old girl who just learned html.

              Or… ‘don’t take me serious!’

                Do you write screeds about the woke mob and women with blue hair too?

                It’s not normal, you’re completely right about that. It doesn’t matter. Everything does not have to look like the corporate internet and frankly advocating that everything on the internet wear a suit and tie to be “taken serious” (your words) is something you should re-examine. Spaces with different cultures are good and having a kneejerk reactionary intolerance to them is bad.

                  That’s bull.

                  If you can’t see the relevance of looking professional than I don’t know what to tell you. It’s important.

                    Do you also think that workers shouldn’t have tattoos?

                    Real question. Because up until a few years ago that was part of being “professional”.

                    The definition of professional is just a social construction. One created by and perpetuated by the bourgeoisie through their corporations. You can make the decision to discard it, and by doing so you can embrace a vast multicultural way of presenting things. Is some of that going to be strange and foreign to people outside of each culture? Yes it is. Is there anything wrong with that? Nah.
