What does "blue haired people" mean?


Well it used to mean old ladies. In this context, he's referring to left leaning people who disproportionately dye their hair wild colors vs. conservative people.

GP meant Sonic the Hedgehog, of course. Gotta go fast!


It's a stereotype of feminist/leftist/"woke" activists who dye their hair, likely deriving from the baleful image of Zoe Quinn that lives rent free in the heads of all modern red-pilled douchenozzles.
