Description I made this in addition to this stamp I made about Dark Colors, Light Colors, and Gender. www.deviantart.com/willm3luvtr…

Again, I know this is irrelevant and seems like a waste of artwork and a waste of time, and is really no big deal but this was something I wanted to make and remind everyone of, although I know many of you know this already.

But light doesn't always equal female/feminine and dark doesn't always mean male/masculine. Feminine creatures can be dark and masculine creatures can be light too.

May I also add that darker doesn't always mean "stronger" and lighter doesn't always mean "weaker." Yes it's true dark objects can be stronger than light objects but light objects can also be stronger than dark objects. Darker also doesn't always mean more dangerous, lighter objects can be just as dangerous or maybe more dangerous (this includes humans.)

And it would be stereotyping to make or assume all dark things masculine (and stronger) and all light things are feminine (and weaker.) And that's not how I want to think. I have thought of that and I am regretting that but thankfully my eyes have been opened.

Just something I wanted to express and remind people of and I do hope this helps some people, although I know I'm not the only one who thinks like this.

I'd say "Please respect" but go ahead, throw your sharp darts at me!

With Hippopotas and Hippowdon from Pokemon, the males are light-colored and the females are dark-colored.
