Millennials recently found themselves bawling with tears of joy after Steve Burns of “Blue’s Clues” fame once again touched their hearts by viciously beating Dan Schneider to death with his bare hands.
“hands would be magenta” my guy you probably shoulda googled that word before committing to it.
Magenta is a purple-ish red color which on it’s own doesn’t really work as a reference to blood, but the author chose that specific color because it’s the name of Blue’s friend next door, a dog named Magenta.
I literally did, and came up with pictures of pink flowers. Did you?
It works, I guess, as a reference to blues clues, which I clearly missed having never seen it, but it emphatically does not work as a reference to blood.
edit: No, actually, I googled “magenta blues clues” and came up with a picture of a dog a completely different color than blood. If the point of the children’s show is to teach children colors, then it failed completely in the author’s case.
Also, you didn’t use facetious correctly when you pettily blocked that other user for pointing out you weren’t using facetious correctly.
I insist, I get what the joke was supposed to be, and the joke did not get there. It was a bad joke, bad wordplay, poorly crafted. I won’t be cowed by a crowd of stoners(?) into believing that magenta is somehow like the color of bruises or blood to support, in your words, an “article and joke [that] was rather mid.”
Holy shit HOW do you not know magenta is a color like pink or purple lmao, the dog is named Magenta because it is the color magenta, kinda like how the only other fuckin dog in the show is named BLUE cuz it’s FUCKIN BLUE.
A magenta colored flower isn’t out of the cards when you Google the word of a pinkish color.
Your fists don’t go instantly blood red when you punch someone, unless you’re doing something very wrong, there are various shades of pink (e.g.s hot pink and MAGENTA)
Either smoke a joint and calm the fuck down and try to come to terms with the fact that you’re ignorant instead of getting angry, or go back to first grade and learn colors again.
This might sound crazy, but not all text ever written is directed towards you and not all authors are worried if you personally get their references or not.

Perhaps you should’ve googled that before committing to your comment?
That’s something an honour-less p’takh would say.

lmao oh no! Anyway…
Huh, never thought I’d see a heated argument over the colour of a dog in blues clues.
Certified reddit moment.
We did it Lemmy!
Congratulations dumbass!
It also works as the color of bruises, which your hands would be after viciously beating someone.
I don’t think that’s a reasonable ask, considering it basically requires pre-existing knowledge to consider

ZeroCool, are you the author of the article?
I ask because you don’t quite to seem to understand what that word means or the context it would be appropriate for either.
lol okay pal, that’s enough of you. Bye now. 👋
Hmm, a little upset over something so trivial.
They don’t seem upset to me just dismissive. If I had to guess I’d say they probably don’t want to keep explaining to you what a facetious remark is.
This might sound crazy, but not all text ever written is directed towards you and not all authors are worried if you personally get their references or not.
Shocking, I know.
It’s okay to like bad jokes, bro, you don’t have to make up strawmen to defend them
The target audience is kids who grew up watching Blues Clues. I’m pretty sure most the target audience would have gotten it.
You weren’t the target audience, that’s fine.
I actually watched it with my younger brother enough to get it.
The target audience of that line is people with bad taste in wordplay.
I always hear about smart, dumb people and dumb, smart people, but I think you’re a dumb dumb person.
Pretty weird how defensive y’all are over an awkward joke about a children’s show.
Project much?
Bro, you’re like 6 levels down in the chain still arguing this shit… Who’s weird?
You’re on the seventh tho
Wait a minute
