As a redhead who survived middle school I do get it on some level…I’ll always be a little triggered by someone saying that just because of how intense it was back then.

But also…we’re adults, Lindsey. It’s a stupid joke that’s not going anywhere and not worth anything more than a eyeroll.

Sure, scientifically we’re a dying breed but not like an actually persecuted one lmao

Redheads (and blonds) are not a dying breed. That's some replacement theory bollocks.

[hiimtish]

I looked into it and that rumor started from a badly worded Nat Geo article. Red hair is not exclusive to white people and I definitely never suggested it was.

[elevatorshaker]

The idea has been around for much longer than that and you don't have to be a white nationalist to get hooked by one of their talking points.

[hiimtish]

I did not get hooked by anyone’s talking points. I’ve been a subscriber to that magazine for a very long time and read an article that mentioned something pertinent to me personally and remembered it.

I’m all for fighting white supremacy and will always continue to do that. But this is not what happened and it’s pretty weird that you’re so insistent that it can’t be anything but replacement theory, especially when the redhead gene is not exclusive to white folks

Edit: also worth noting I immediately googled, saw you were right that’s it’s a myth, and will not be saying it again. You’d be correct if I had at all defended it as fact.

[deerlike]

Yeah, um I'm surprised that your comment is getting such heat and accusation? Because I just took it as a tongue in cheek ref to the fact that red hair is a recessive gene and less likely to be passed down through successive generations compared to brown hair. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I mean the main thrust of your comment was how silly it was for Lindsay to get so worked up over a tasteless fire crotch joke.

[hiimtish]

I appreciate that so much💗

I do wish I’d worded it differently…this specific context is stupid and eyeroll worthy but anyone saying that to someone specific is sexual harassment.

But definitely meant no harm with the gene thing, it’s not even something I even care about at all😭

Idg why you're getting so downvoted either. People here read too much into the dumbest stuff and have been online for so long and especially Twitter that they assume the worst. I've never had a twitter and it's so sad they think everyone is the worst when they refuse to read.

It makes me so glad I've cut down on being on here to a rarity bc the cruelty is off the charts. Like the people assuming I made up the Stephen Hawking comments when I cited the exact page in the Epstein docs.

But yeah the person annoying you I just fully ignore and don't read anything by them bc they never mean any good will or make good assumptions.

Lol your comment wasn’t even bad. Lol redheads are def the least common hair color compared to the other colors. Funny enough I remember hearing people say that blondes were a dying breed when I was a kid but lol it’s a super common hair seen everywhere!!

Redheads on the other hand don’t see as much as blonde, brunette, and black. My uncle was a redhead as a kid but faded to black as he got older haha

[elevatorshaker]

I buy that you read it in Nat Geo, but it's still a goddam far right talking point. I don't think you're racist, I think you got taken in by a racist con. You're defending yourself because you inferred I was making an accusation about you, personally, that I wasn't. That's all.

[the_nerrieds]

You are factually correct and they should not be taking it personally. There are some things like that which people repeat without thinking that are false white supremacist talking points. They should be glad to know so they don't continue perpetuating them.

[pattycakers]

As a redhead who was constantly teased about this, I feel you. I always thought something was wrong with me because of it. That and being 5'10" when I was 14. Way too much verbal sexual assault.

[iamkeroberos]

I mean Brandon Davis publicly called her a fire crotch and made fun of her for being both new money and poor all while Paris Hilton walked beside him giggling and it was all over TMZ, the internet, pop culture, etc. Brandon Davis even wore a shirt on a pap walk that said it after the original rant. This was all when she was pretty young, like early 20s.

So I could see her being extra sensitive to that

[lone_concertina]

Yeah it's not a reference to redheads in general, anyone paying attention to pop culture in the 2000s knows exactly what "firecrotch" refers to and it's SPECIFICALLY Lindsay. I don't blame her one bit for being pissed about it. (Spoken as a redhead!)

[hiimtish]

Thank you for taking the time to explain that when no one else did

[slinkydinks]

I had no idea who this Brandon Davis guy was... I googled him, and... Does he have the right to be making fun of anyone's appearances with THAT face?
