    The wider debate, dawg. When everyone knew the truth, the debate over what color the dress was died or at least started dying. There may have been people who continued debating without that knowledge, and there are certainly people who continued discussing afterwards. The debate can only be one of two things: either it’s the color of the dress or the color of the picture of the dress. The question has TWO objective answers. Most people, again, not knowing the wider context when they entered the conversation, took a position based on what they thought the color of the ACTUAL DRESS was. And when that objective question was answered, everyone stopped caring. You know, the royal everyone. Society at large.

    Also… reading comprehension, dawg. NO ONE knew what the color of the dress was when the quiz went viral except for the originators of the image and their real life social circle/community which had been discussing it. The tumblr bit is almost completely irrelevant to what you’re trying to argue.

              It was though, the origin got withheld for a day when it went viral but it’s been going viral for years now and the discussion continues so it’s a strange hill to die on. 99% of discussions about this image have occured when the physical dresses colours were known.

                Debate vs discussion semantics.

                Debate regards the color.

                Discussion regards the overall cultural effect, studies in neuroscience, etc

                  If you’re going to move the goal posts you usally need a segue to be coherent- what?

                  But yes your arguments lack understanding in those areas too.
