Would you say that tattoos on one's face is not the norm? If that answer is yes, then do you go about hassling young black males in the mall or gas station or wherever? If that answer is yes, then you're a liar. If the answer is no, then you seem a little hypocritical.
Actually, tattoos make my point perfectly. There has been a very recent change in the acceptability of tattoos.
They were once considered decidedly not “the norm”. People with tattoos were either sailors or bikers. Anyone who got a tattoo had to be sure they could be hidden if they wanted to fit in in certain “respectable” roles in society.
Over the last 25 years or so, tattoos have become much more normal. Business places have had to change policies so that people with tattoos are more and more considered acceptable.
You could say that tattoos are “more normal” now that they used to be. And yet, they aren’t “the norm”. How would you quantify that? No two people would agree. It’s not quantifiable. And yet, we can say with confidence that it’s not yet the norm (probably getting close).

Kid wears a dress to his homecoming and people think the dad is the crazy one in this situation. We are completely screwed as a society. Heaven forbid we have to fight a war against another superpower because I don’t think BDU’s come in rainbow camouflage.

Don’t say we were the most free society in history while literally advocating for forced conformity.
Funny. Who’s being forced to conform here? The boy in a dress or a man getting death threats for reacting to a boy in a dress?
Let’s not forget. The boy wanted to stand out. He is making a statement. It’s not just happenstance that he accidentally crossed the soft lines of cultural norms. He’s flying the double bird at the concept of norms.
Well, a society without norms is a train wreck.

No ones making the man wear a dress.
He could have minded his own business and kept on wearing his golf polos.
“They’re making him accept it”
Not even that.
He can keep his fricking opinion to himself and still have that opinion.

Could you be more specific? I don’t even know what you’re referring to in my post?
I agree that we are experiencing clown world; aka upside down world, where the margins have gained legitimacy in attacking the middle.

Except in the current zeitgeist of cancel culture, that dad is possibly facing a huge penalty for his actions, while the dress wearing boy will be celebrated. That’s different. That’s a sign that we are in upside down world.
I'll agree the reaction surrounding the event are extreme but cancel culture shifts directions every generation right?

Just to be clear, I agree that it would have been best if the dad dude had kept his opinion to himself.
But I really don’t find his reaction that unexpected, and in fact, due to the craziness of our current clown world, some resistance to the cultural attack being waged by post-modernist ideologues is expected. This wasn’t the best time to push back, however.

This push to normalize abnormal shite then threaten violence is pathetic.

And doesn’t the kid say “I told you what I was wearing” at the beginning?
