Title: So, what colour is this dress?
Post by: Symon on March 04, 2015, 02:08:19 PM
I'm sure we have all seen this elsewhere, but I'm curious as to how the Myswag community sees it.

Yep, seen it before, why the **** are we wasting bandwidth on a FB item. Fair dinkum, this is a crap topic, the op should have more sense.

Why just pick on the OP?
Half the threads on this forum have nothing to do with camping and trailers IMO. >:D

Because some (like me) find it interesting that roughly 75% perceive the colours incorrectly (the dress has been proven to be blue and black).  I find that particularly of interest as people make assumptions about how others view the world, and this simple example shows that is folly to make such assumptions.  Especially in the case of people who love to harp on about 'common sense'.  "What are you talking about? It's common sense, the dress is white and gold!"  And you will find 3/4 of the population will agree with you, and that 3/4 will be wrong.

If you don't find that of interest, that's fine, but you are welcome to not exercise your digitus secundus manus and selecting to view the thread, there are plenty of others that I am sure will be to your satisfaction.

I'm not colour blind, but I'm colour stupid. Doesn't matter what colour I think it is, only matters what colour accessories go with it.

I briefly saw it at work and it was white and gold, and then was later asked by my wife about it, she showed me it on her phone and it was blue and black. So we looked at the same pick on the same devise on two different websites and it was two colours.

Thanks Symon, I respect your reply. I actually banned myself from this forum after I posted my last reply and havnt been back since. Two months away was a big ask, but I have done it.

What really disappointed me with this thread that you started was that the original image was part of an anti domestic violence campaign.

http://www.smh.com.au/world/why-so-hard-to-see-black-and-blue-thedress-used-in-domestic-violence-campaign-20150307-13xrz0.html (http://www.smh.com.au/world/why-so-hard-to-see-black-and-blue-thedress-used-in-domestic-violence-campaign-20150307-13xrz0.html)

 The ensuing media coverage on Facebook and otherwise was all about colours, not about the intendefd campaign. The message was lost. I actually have family members who work in domestic violence related territory all the time, so when I saw this thread it hit a nerve. I apologise for my curt reply. I now recognise that you colour recognition issues are the reason behind your thread initiation. A good reason for a thread in its own right.

So, That was why my response was curt and off topic, I could have explained myself better!

If you had started a thread with an anti domestic violence focus related to the actual campaign  I would have commented differently, but at the time it hit a raw nerve. The thread topic just seemed to reinforce with me that 99% of the community had missed the point of it, which still seems to be the case.

Domestic or family violence is an unseen cancer in many communities. If you know someone in need call:  1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732).

So, that said, my self imposed exile is over! Perhaps I should start a vote to see if I can come back!

Cheers.

Mace I respect your post, but the picture was a dress for a wedding and became a mindless argument about what colour it was. Almost as mindless as this thread, and many others in here.

The South African Salvation Army then very cleverly reused the dress and in a advertising campaign against domestic violence.  A campaign that was in South Africa and that many of us would be unaware of.
