In that case, they can paint them pink.
- darkerside 6y agoBut they won't. Because they wouldn't look intimidating.
- yeetawayhn 6y agoNo, it's probably because you people would still complain about them.
- mjayhn 6y ago> You people Us citizens?
- tekknik 6y agoNot all US citizens are complaining about them, just those who don’t understand what they are and what they’re used for.
- yeetawayhn 6y agoNo, professional complainers.
- tekknik 6y agoYet they paint them tan when in military use. Honest question, why do you think black = intimidating?
- darkerside 6y agoIs that a challenge or an honest question, I really can't tell? If it's a question, probably because of its association with night and darkness, and it's contrast with bright colors. If it's a challenge, give me a basis because you're fighting common sense. I'm not here to convince you that black is intimidating in a way that pink is not.
- tekknik 6y agoIt’s more of a wake up call, you’re calling a color intimidating. A color. Chase that mental rabbit whole for a minute to find out why.
- gravy 6y agoThe only person doing this mental chase here is you. Why don't you just come out and say what you mean? If you're really this confrontational about "the color" black being tied to darkness since pre-history (not much of a stretch there) and the significance of darkness being the physical manifestation of something like "evil" (also since pre-history) EDIT: and why "evil" is "intimidating", then nobody should take your contributions to this discussion seriously. EDIT: I just don't understand how your response of "if black is intimidating, why do they paint them tan for military use" is in any way an honest argument. Did you simply not even think of camouflage? There are more important tactical advantages in warfare than intimidation. And now I feel like I did the job that darkserside was trying to avoid.
- tekknik 6y agoNope, you see I’ve been on the black isn’t evil argument for a while because I own various black colored guns. It’s a pretty common argument to say the black guns are scary yet nobody can explain why. So again, why do you think black makes it scary or intimidating? I have, in fact if you see my replies to others you’ll see me point out that very thing. But people are going around saying the goal of painting it black is to be intimidating. If that were true then why doesn’t the military use the same tactic when they do want to look intimidating? This would imply it’s used for camo, like you said. It’s not a race thing, don’t take it there because I most definitely am not.
- darkerside 6y agoThank you, and I'm sorry!
