This was the first struggle session I remember.

It was absolutely bonkers watching the raddle king make false equivalencies between the terms “blacklist” and “brown-nose”.
Love seeing a tagline that spawned from a thread I was part of lol.
Isn't this also about the literal color of wool? Black wool is caused be recessive genes and shepherds didn't really like them because it can't be dyed and isn't very marketable. At least that's been my understanding of the term.
im still suspicious of that one. it’s a continuation of the black=bad paradigm. there is a traditional view of black sheep being undesirable bc u can’t dye black wool (at least before bleaching agents were discovered). but the modern connotation of “black sheep” comes from early chattel slavery
Even with modern techniques black wool is hard to use. And if it gets into a normal batch while processing it can essentially contaminate the whole thing.
just wear the black wool, damn. goths stay winning
