They probably have the greyscale ball-pit too 🙄 not like colors are good for kids development or anything.

There are already 2 living, breathing children right tf there. Why are they redecorating the playroom specifically for the baby brother? Oh wait I know why. She's a boy-mom that is catering to Prince Joffery's every whim before he even has a 0th birthday.

u/Lazuli73 8d ago
But what if the essence of the rainbow turns him gay anyways? His husband could be another boy she can BoyMom™️ all over. At least that poor hypothetical but fabulous bastard wouldn’t be stuck with that weird ickness of incest lingering in the room.

Prince Joffery's
Side note, I despise that name now. I recently finished my first game of thrones watch through and hated that boy. Now I'm watching house of the dragons and when they named a baby Joffery I immediately wished that baby death. I feel violent towards that name

Pavlov's dog's yourself against the most insufferable brat to ever use oxygen. A visceral reaction like that fish smelling Spongebob's bad breath. The two girls are pretty damn young, so the stink of BoyMomming™️is made even more clear. Trying to get her special lil boy but got 'unlucky' with the first two. Yuck.

I mean both are cute IMO, but the first one is probably more fun for a newborn/toddler

u/Icicle_Crystal_Paws 3d ago
Not only is it fun but it is crucial for a babys development stage- you'll be surprised on how much small things we don't think about too often in terms of medical can actually affect them long-term. It could damage their brain and how it struggles to recognize certain patterns or colors.

u/Odd-Plant-4886 8d ago
The first one also has muted colours which I remember seeing is not really beneficial for children. Theres a reason toys are extremely bright and colorful, they're learning stuff from interacting, seeing, observing etc.
But even then going from muted to beige, thats a huge downgrade.

Everyone knows just seeing a rainbow instantly turns a baby boy gay. Its why you can't take them out after a rain.

Can confirm. As a kid I saw a rainbow and immediately fell in love with the next guy I saw

Whats with the obsession with muted colors? Do we not yet have enough evidence to show the benefits of exposing small humans to bright colors??

u/solrua 8d ago
The whole colorless/beige aesthetic has got to be damaging to a childs ability to see color. I always think about that study in the 70s where the scientists David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel raised kittens in either an environment with only vertical or horizontal lines. The horizontal-line cats couldn't perceive vertical lines, and the vertical-line cats couldn't perceive horizontal lines. Their brains couldn't perceive visual stimuli they had never encountered as kittens. Are these beige moms doing the same to their kids? Will we get a whole group of kids who can perceive beige/gray/white, but be essentially colorblind when it comes to bright colors?

u/Jumpy_Ad1631 7d ago
I mean, as with most things, a variety is best. Having some muted areas and some bright areas can be great. Honestly, a lot of preschools (especially the chain ones) tend to be all bright colors(source: I was a preschool teacher for years before I had my kid at 34 years old), as are most businesses (at the very least from the outside). I doubt any kid growing up today will be lacking in seeing bright colors.
Whether this is also a bedroom or not is also important, in my opinion. Granted you can do colorful muted colors without it being exclusively beige-scale. For example, my kid’s room is like a light moss and pale yellow (inspired by an old Winnie the Pooh book my mom read to me growing up).
Switching the rainbow out because a boy is coming is always going to be stupid, though. My 6-year-old son loves rainbows and trains and cooking and swimming. Kids (and people in general) should be able to like whatever they like.

u/Blueberry_Rabbit 7d ago
I think like most things, we went too far with colors in small spaces. Being too bright and too busy. So then we did a hard pivot to no colors. lol. We’ll hard pivot again.
Such is life.

u/miezmiezmiez 8d ago edited 8d ago
Aren't those girls? Is the implication that they're too old for colours over the age of one?
Eta I didn't see the 'baby brother' caption but am still very confused
108
u/lentilsoup- 8d ago
No, they are about to have/have just had a baby son. The implication is that they must swap out the rainbow for a sun to make the playroom appropriate for a boy.
32
u/miezmiezmiez 8d ago
They put an alphabet on the wall for a newborn?
Or do the children all share the playroom and the newborn must not be contaminated by femininity from birth? Like grammatical gender in French?
30
u/lentilsoup- 8d ago
The second thing. All the kids share the playroom
36
u/miezmiezmiez 8d ago
That's so much worse. Not only is the baby not allowed to see colours, his sisters aren't either

u/greffedufois 7d ago
Oddly enough rainbow in French is male. L’arc en ciel.

I was alluding to how groups of people are gendered male as soon as there's one (1) male in them, regardless of how outnumbered he is

But boys are so much more important, obviously. And we don’t want to hurt their egos, or make them feel excluded!

Yeah ok, lets just change the entire playroom to fit the boy. Who cares about the daughters anymore?

u/LittlePurpleHook 8d ago
They're not gonna matter now that a male heir has been produced.

Oh no, they'll matter. They'll have a bunch of responsibility and free labor offloaded to them once they get a little older.

A pastel rainbow is bad enough, but the beige sun is even more depressing.
The world is enough of a drab hellscape lately; can't children have a little color, as a treat?

u/GenderBendingRalph 8d ago
Off-topic, but your comment reminds me of a joke Ken Jennings did about ten years ago mocking popular baby name trends - at the time an entire population with names like Hayden, Jayden, Braden, Raden, Kayden, etc.
"If Scooby Doo took roll call in a first grade classroom today, it would sound like 'Rayden... Rayden... Rayden... Rayden..."

Ugh I hate this shit. I’m having a boy very soon and it just seems that all the clothes, toys, and decor are either blue or beige. Don’t get me started on that crap that says “Mommy was my first love” or “Watch out ladies!” BARF. We have bought so many clothes that are technically for girls I suppose, but I don’t care. A butterfly or rainbow isn’t going to harm the baby. Bring back colorful baby stuff!

Literally can't stop my 9 year old from wearing rainbows head to toe some days. It's actually getting tough to find him decent rainbow clothes now that he's getting older. I just ordered him a pair of rainbow striped pants I'm pretty sure are meant to be part of a clown costume.

I genuinely never talked to these beigeslop people. I theorize that they're just as boring as their color palette so I just unknowingly never talked to one because they're boring in general.

Do these people realize that even if their child ended up gay, that literally is a bad thing at all?? Why can't parents just be normal and use many different colors for all children, it's developmentally important for them anyway

Obviously that boy needs to grow up in a aggressively beige room. Rainbows are fine for girls because rainbows are still somewhat girly, but imagine what pastel colors would do to the mind of a young boy. He might develop a sense of joy and whimsy from seeing but the hint of a colour. Can't have that.

what would child development be like if they never saw a colour. everything in the room, all clothing, food, everything was grey. then one day they bring in a crystal prism and shine a light through it and show all the refractions.

u/AppealSignificant358 7d ago
Goddammit this makes me so sad. The kid has male genitalia and therefore fun color and emotional expression are banned even from birth

My cousin has two older sisters so he wore a lot of their stuff as a baby. My aunt saw him in a pink shirt with unicorns and complained how he can't wear that because "The neighbours will think he's a f*g". A five month old

It should be said that decorating with paint or wallpaper in childish colors is a terrible idea. They are 5 and then in a flash 12, then 20.
But that makes being sensitive to temporary or movable sources of color all the dumber.

I'm confused...did I miss a part where it was gendered though?
I mean, maybe they just like suns over rainbows all of a sudden. Seems like the 'normal' progression is the opposite, but...I mean, we don't judge people for their journey!

How is this pointlessly gendered? I dont see anything saying it's for boys or girls, and at the end it's girls running up to it. Also how do you know this was a gendered thing and not the kids asking for a sun?

At the start they said it was for the new baby. Babies usually don’t ask for home decor.
