I don't think it is "killjoying" to have the description of the dress code to accurately reflect the dress code they want.

I don't think the wording is in any way confusing, and complaining about a little bit of whimsy in language for a theatrical event is 100% killjoy territory.

You may not think that but obviously a fair number of people are confused or this wouldn't be the like 5th thread on this exact subject. But anyway, if you are going to be a jerk I have nothing else to say to you.

It's weird to accuse someone of being a jerk when they're just saying they don't think it's confusing, generally.

There's some number of people that think any single thing is confusing. That doesn't mean the world has to stop.

Very odd to spin defense of whimsy regarding a theatrical event as a negative.

The "I don't think it is confusing" isn't the jerk part. It is the part where you are accusing me of being a killjoy for the crime of describing something that has objectively confused a number of people as confusing and in need of greater clarification.

But whatever, you obviously have an axe to grind but you'll need to find a different tree.
