     @mntmn Well as a cis, straight, male I ordered the purple one even knowing black was $50 cheaper. Good things come in purple i.e. GameCubes.

     @mntmn That's wild, I was legitimately considering getting the purple because I loved that color choice.

     Purple to officially be called: Gayish Purple

     Though is gayish purple more pink or blue?

     @mntmn Have they read the license even?

     Trippy sounds accurate. Which means lots of colors.

     @mntmn That person is wrong in multiple ways. Not just being homophobic. I think he is also being sexist, assuming only men buy your device. Although, I am surprised with how the world is lately, that this is your first letter.

     I don't support this gay bashing just to be clear. Its utterly pointless/useless in addition to being judgmental and moronic.

     Don't let it bother you, nuts are everywhere.

     @Anachron did you even check? the default color of all our stuff is black

     @mntmn while I wouldn't phrase it like that I would prefer a more decent color, something like space gray, navy blue or alike as well.

     I try to buy everything in these colors, if possible, and belongings that stick out of this are not really favorites.

     I don't know if you already know, but there are people who for example only buy black. All clothes in black and backpacks, electronics etc.

     Reason for this is to stop worrying about matching things together

     @mntmn
     Wasn't the purple SKU optional anyway?

     Is it a per-key RGB keyboard or is it using zones? setting the rainbow flag as a default option would be hilarious for semi-customers like them. ^^

     @hansfbaier yes but what the author of this bigoted mail did not get is that there _are_ choices, the base model is black! purple is just another option! but they didn't even bother to check

     @mntmn @hansfbaier Ah, so the author is sexist, homophobic and lazy.

     Fascinating...

     @mntmn For some, gayish purple may be perceived as a bug, but for many us, it's definitely a FEATURE.
