If someone put Rorschach’s inkblot cards on the table in front of me, I could only think of gender blurring tendencies that wave with a flag of neutrality. (the flag would be white with Rorschach alike mask from Watchman in the middle)
Gender fluidity has appeared in a form of rebellion but has been widely spread in last couple of years establishing an army of Dr. Thompson’s dancers led by Burberry heads.
The card test with blots of ink was called off 10 years ago since it had quit being an ambiguous stimulus which would provide insight into patients’ thought processes. Burberry refused to reveal the main cause on the issue. And no one even knew that Burberry itself was involved in the case.
However, Rorschach’s work includes three determinants – form, color and movement – that contribute to establish the similarity between the inkblot and the subject’s content response on it.
“A good piece of clothing is a good piece of clothing no matter who was meant to wear it in the first place” – therefore, the form doesn’t matter. What does gender appropriate wearing mean anyway. Who made up the criteria. No such thing. Just like no love lost.
Speaking of the second determinant – color, white flag on the middle of a bridge is celebrating the victory of interchangeability. Perhaps unconsciously, but hipsters did a great job in bridging the gap between the sexes burring my Pretty Ballerinas with their Oxfords. Fair enough.
The third determinant – movement – used to be considered more ambiguously, both in definition and interpretation. Urban Outfitters generation came up with a melting pot which use has slightly been shifting from counterculture to the mainstream course. The next card game might be Some Like It Hot.
