it’s because colorism/general racism/white supremacy shit says that brown eyes are dirty and unclean while blue eyes are pure and beautiful. we have brown eyes and we’ve always felt insecure about them because of this. on a simular note, people always say blue eyes are scary while brown eyes are sweet and doelike. no our eyes are scary too because we just stare directly at people -tf2heritageposts

oh no absolutely I get that there's a racist societal aspect to it, but for a procedure that is really dangerous and doesn't even seem to give reliably good results it just doesn't seem worth it. especially when all of the risks are like you will just straight up loose your vision

but it was ultimately a two second shitpost lol
