Look at all that blue and pink "Bisexual Lighting" in the top picture!
Makes me want to chuck my toast and coffee.
Constant, unending drive of blue and pink is a subliminal attack to ease the destruction of traditional gender roles. Do a search on "bisexual lighting" and realize lighting has long been a science.
