It's more about the colour, the attitude and the unification. The wording isn't the important part. It's National Fetish Day.

The Perverts Wear Purple part is more of a tagline. It's *not* the focus of the message.

so if we all mainly agree with the day itself - and its the tag that is causing the probs - simple solution ...lets have the day, without the tag!

why do we have to wear any bloomin colour - cant we "identify" in a diferent way compleatly....

<snip>I have a child and can think of several words but pervert is not one of them.

If you were looking for recommendations for a childminder, and someone said to you "I don't know any details, but I heard he's a pervert", would you be more or less likely to leave your child with him than if you hadn't been given that information?

I'd be extremely surprised that you had managed to find a male childminder, given that the vast majority of childminders are female.

And whether the childminder was male (very unlikely) or female, I'd want clarification of my friend's gossip before making an informed decision.

will most definatly be supporting this day by wearing purple even though I work in a vanilla macho job! so please all support this even if pervert is not the term you may like to be called by, we should all admit that we are kinky or have a fetish!

IT IS ABOUT STANDING FOR WHO WE ARE!

love to all who have cared enough to post on this thread

Gary

Hmm - I take your point but some of us have pretty good reasons for not admitting we are kinky or have a fetish - or, at least, only to those we trust with this information

Good luck to all who support the day, though. I hope it goes very well indeed

It's too late to change the tagline. If people are truely passionate about the tagline, then after this one it can look to be changed.

The important part of this message is that we should be united. So, if that's wearing a colour you don't like or putting up with a word you don't like to enable a united front, then so be it.

As it is often said, you can't please all of the people all of the time, which is a shame but very true. I, for one, will be in purple on 21st Jan.

"Dyslexic Deviants do Dulux"?

Hmmmm. Did you miss the reference?

Think Peter Sellers.

also i hate purple so i wont wear that either

Whilst I know how you feel, I guess wearing purple anyway is one of the main points of the day?

not till they agree on a name

Who "they"? The government, perhaps?

This thread is bizarre in the sense of the cnut-like quality of so many of the contributions.

There isn't any "they". The idea surfaced... caught fire in true viral fashion, and is happening.

On 21 January, there is enough impetus for this idea that several thousand people at least now believe that this is the National Fetish Day. It is, whether people on here like it or not, in much the same way as any other "Day" happens.

People are cordially invited to participate. A lot of those participating will do so under the tagline "Perverts wear purple".

Some people, who disagree strenuously, will participate under a different tagline. Some won't participate at all.

Its a bit like Red Nose Day.

Personally, I don't participate in that....but it happens whether I like it or not.

Or "talk like a pirate day".

National Fetish Day will happen whether you or I or anyone else agree with it.

Its probably got sufficient legs that it will come back next year - and almost certainly without any sort of organising committee.

How do you "make it" conform more closely to what you would like it to be? Simple. As purplepenny suggests, just come up with a slogan, a tag, an idea that is catchier, more appealing, more instantly likely to be taken up than "Perverts wear Purple".

Intellectualising won't help at all.

John

You'll be lucky if you end up wearing the uniform of a bloody toilet attendant.
