          Well, I most probably certainly not not undisentertained, with the caveat that I might probably am certainly not not certainly probably unentertained not not from a lack of certain probable undisentertainment so much as a probable certain possible lack of not nondisunentertainment. I hope that clears up my probable certain not not undisposition of your probable certain unquestion.

            A lot of anime passes the test and if the cast has 3 or more main female characters, it will almost certainly pass the test with flying colours.

            Since pink is a red/blue hybrid that only exist in our brains.

            Violet is a blue heading towards the red hue.

            Burgundy is a red heading towards the blue hue.

              If you want to get REALLY philosophical about it color is just a cnstruct of our minds in and of itself, so pink just is extra nonexistent.

                Pink exists. It might not be a spectral color, but it is a color. Colors aren’t (just) a construct of our minds. They’re distributions of frequencies. Some colors look the same to us, although they aren’t, and we use the same names for those. That’s why RGB monitors and CMYK prints work, to some extent.

              Pink is a red-WHITE hybrid. Blue had nothing to do with it.

              Seriously. He had witnesses.
