    Wait, wat? I’m a cis straight white dude (but like waaay waaaaaay politically left - not like, american left either, real left - which I’m pretty sure cancels some of that out, but anyway) but purple has always been my favorite color by far… Does this mean I’ve gotta go back to the drawing board, so to speak? Lol Cuz I’m willing to compromise… I could see myself like indigo adjacent, perhaps…

      As an asexual I’m willing to share purple with any other cool people. Keep loving purple :3

      It’s okay. This is only a small sample of things that are purple. As long a you’re cool, you can be purple

        Well, I’ve heard coolness is a spectrum, and I’ve also been told more than once in my life that I’m ‘definitely on the spectrum’, so… I mean, that’s pretty clearly what they meant, right?

        I’m not gonna lie man, just going off of the name alone - first brush - I’m definitely not what you’d call optimistic based on past experiences

          Outside of the US, “republicanism” just means being for the abolition of monarchy, which anyone on the left who’s not a hypocrite and/or profoundly ignorant already is 🤷

            What if you’re left, have no problem with abolishing monarchy but don’t really have a problem with giving huge sums of money to the monarchy in exchange for [???] either? Republican apathism!

            Jk I just don’t find it a priority but it really should be done sooner or later.

              I agree completely.

              Speaking as a far left Dane, I consider the fact that we have royals in 2025 a huge waste of public resources and also a REALLY bad look when it comes to government for and by regular people.

              That being said, I’m fully aware that there’s MUCH bigger problems that are more important to deal with, so its abolishment isn’t anywhere near as high on my list of reform priorities as it would be if pure “wrongness” and symbolism were the only criteria 😉

                Same in Sweden pretty much. I can also recognise some of the arguments from the other side in favor of keeping the constitutional monarchy. Not that I think those arguments outweigh the fact that the money could be used elsewhere.

      Thinking you should abandon purple instead of becoming ace, nb, or gengar shows you were never a real purple enjoyer.

        While I may not agree with what you have to say, I shall defend to the death your right to say it.

        (Even if it is really mean 🥲)

    Purple is Red and Blue’s cousin who went to LA and was successful and when he comes back to visit the family, everyone hangs on his every slick word. Nobody can deny Purple.
