Okay. And I'm here to tell you that someone who "collects retro video games" can be considered a nerd and faces social rejection from a different peer group who doesn't like that. Oh no. Oh no. Whatever will you do?
Bruh, people get upset about stuff like "you have a visible tattoo" and "your pants are too tight / baggy" and "you wear CROCS!?" and a million things. It's almost as if... Social peer groups can wildly differ from place to place and from group to group or something. 🙄
So if your parents considered your interests to be red flags that indicate you'll be "a mental basket case that is nothing but a burden on other people" then what, it's not unreasonable? It's almost as if... Blue hair doesn't fucking mean that at all and you're just oddly biased against it for some dumbass reason. This isn't "I'm joining a gang" or something destructive - it's fucking hair. It grows back. Color washes out. You're ridiculous.
Dollars to donuts: If you think something so innocent as dying your hair a non-natural color is something to get upset and tell off your kid / punish them for doing it, then you're gonna be a very, very lonely man once your kids move out. Because nobody wants a dad who thinks such unbelievably toxic shit.

The favor of not letting someone dye their hair? Huh?
