    It’s a reference to one of America’s mass shootings.

    Here’s a link to the Wikipedia page about the incident - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Aurora_theater_shooting?wprov=sfla1

    Here is a picture of the mass shooter with his dyed hair - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File%3AJames_Holmes%2C_cropped.jpg

      What’s more fucked up is, who is that dude in the photo? Is he intentionally dressed up as that shooter asshole, like it’s funny?

            The rare Office Space paraphrase joke. I can only assume the downvotes haven’t got a clue. NICE.

                I didn’t get the reference but I just thought the comment was funny. (I’m old but just not familiar with a lot of things)

          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…

              Hair that red is clearly bleached and dyed red, though

                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.

                It may be a bad dye job, but I wouldn’t personally attack him on that basis alone.

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

                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.

                  I’m not suggesting that. It just looks like he did in fact choose to have that hair color.

                    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.
