Sometimes I entertain myself by doing little social experiments to do with this sort of thing
- I take along a well-designed character to the MC(thoughtfully chosen markings and colours, something I spent time on to make him look interesting and original, and preferably no black in sight), and nobody bats an eyelid.
- I spend a minute whacking together an awful abomination with a black pelt, white underfur, red scars and red eyes, and suddenly I'm a regular Casanova.
