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?

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 66 points 6 months ago

It's just red, curly hair.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 49 points 6 months ago

Why should I get a haircut? He's the one that killed all those people.

[-] massacre@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

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

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 months ago

It's at +23 now. I appreciated the reference too.

Are we old?

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

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)

[-] el_eh_chase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago

Definitely give Office Space a watch then, great comedy.

[-] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 22 points 6 months ago

God forbid someone have red, curly hair

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.

[-] Strawberry 6 points 6 months ago

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

[-] kn33@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

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

[-] moonburster@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

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

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 months ago

Hair that red is clearly bleached and dyed red, though

[-] meliaesc@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

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

[-] CptEnder@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

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

[-] kogasa@programming.dev 6 points 6 months ago
[-] GoosLife@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] kogasa@programming.dev 4 points 6 months ago

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

[-] GoosLife@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Distant_Foreground@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

A certain somebody ruined the toothbrush moustache for everyone...

[-] GoosLife@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] DogWater@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

What is life like for you day to day? I'm just wondering how you go through life successfully

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 36 points 6 months ago

Me too, maybe a mass shooter joke?

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 36 points 6 months ago

For anyone curious, the fuck head who shot up a movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado had a similar haircut.

Was quite the putz during his trial, too. Stills from the trial made good meme material.

[-] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 12 points 6 months ago

Yeah I don't remember when but this is also from the murderer sack of shit in the meme 'Oh right the murders'. Fucksitck shot up a movie theater and had brightly dyed hair and thought he was the joker.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

Just go check the emergency exits if he gets up to leave.

[-] Fester@lemm.ee 13 points 6 months ago

”thanks for the candy”
