[Theory] do non black guns alter liberal psychology?

[slop slinger]

I agree with Ridiculously Likeable that  guns are scary much more because of their functional than aesthetic aspects. Although form and function are never wholly separated. Even the most purely functional appearing weapons have their own kind of aesthetic appeal. Black is a Masc King color and gun owners are mostly Masc Kings so they need to appeal to them. The manufacturers are lucky the materials used to make guns are already Masc King colors so they don't have to spend money making them these colors so they can channel the classically masculine (non)aesthetic of "i don't care how things look like girls do its all about being functional teehee. the guns black and it just kind of happened that way, see how much we don't care about appearances? see? look, don't you see? please look." Can you imagine a 50yo boomer in rural iowa picking up a lavender or pistachio ar15 or glock (assuming for whatever reason this was the default color of the weapon)? or even a "neutral" nonblack color like white? No, because he'd feel like he's being emasculated and that's the worst thing that could happen to him. Regardless of how well the gun works. Especially with guns. Guns are cocks. Changing their color would get you more resistance from gun owners than acceptance from liberalsoycucks, who would think it's some kind of bizarre joke. he wouldn't pick up that gun for the same reason that he makes fun of prettyboys and (semi)deliberately buys clothes that do not fit well, just so he can then go through the ritual of his wife going to her girl friends and being "i need to dress my husband since he can't do it himself teehee." For some Masc King gun owners, if the gun has any kind of attention to detail that seems to go beyond just a pure concern for its functionality, he'll be put off, which ultimately betrays an aesthetic obsession of his own. Regardless of how well it actually functions. I'm being hyperbolic, but you get the point.


this gun could be the most well oiled machine in the world, doing better than all similar firearms by 50% and not come in any other designs or colors, and most gun owners would not lay a finger on it. they wouldn't even pick it up ironically
