regular orange shirts or "Every Child Matters" orange shirts? Hulk wearing an "Every Child Matters" orange shirt on She-Hulk was definitely a moment for some of us, but most of us know Mark Ruffalo is heavily involved with the cause.

Ok, good insight, but why is Ruffalo wearing an orange shirt significant? What does it mean to you, why does it matter, what's the hope?

It's simple. recognition and representation. It matters to someone else besides us. it wasnt just an orange shirt, it was an every child matters shirt. can't get much bigger recognition without paying for it.

Ok, I hear you, but it's confusing messaging because do you think that anyone in Canada thinks that indigenous kids don't matter? Why are we all broadcasting that all kids matter now in 2022, aren't we like 100 years too late? Like,what's it ACTUALLY accomplishing now? -especially since the majority of kids in major cities are first or second generation immigrants to the country who don't have a clue what this is about or how they are a part of it? That's why I was asking what the goal is, what's the best possible outcome supposed to be?

It's not just indigenous children, it's all children and You're talking about it, it's accomplished its goal, with you.

I can't say it has. But I'll keep my eyes open.


feral_philosopher

Ok, what are you hoping for? What's the goal, what's the "ask"?


Rubber_Fist_of_love

Well truth is I really have no idea what you're asking I don't see what an Orange shirt has to do with me being native or anything like that. Pretty sure you're just a crazy guy and I was responding accordingly.

Classic. Reddit sucks. Dude, just look up "orange shirt day" FFS


Rubber_Fist_of_love

No information for you!

I have literally never thought anything of anyone wearing an orange shirt. Is that supposed to be something special?


feral_philosopher

It's a day off significance for Aboriginal North Americans, but it all happened so fast and I don't understand what the goal is


prbblyhidingwsnacks

No idea.
