This is primitive.
He showed the economy of how cultural standards change as well as how people view new trends and novelties that go against or obstruct established customs, traditions and the like, leading to one final conclusion that it's all the same schematic replayed everytime - a natural law that human society governs itself with.
What he used as an example, the blue stripe, is pure nonsense. It's aesthetics, its harmless, its worthless, its nothing tbh. It doesn't hurt others as well as the user. Even if drawing said stripe was painful, the 1 minute of making it is but a particle compared to the content you have by wearing it for future time.
The indirect thesis of this video is that: Having a blue stripe, or as he wants to tell us, role, function, privilege, disadvantage, reason to be praised/favoured or shamed, imposed set of behaviour etc. in society shouldn't be dependent on the characteristics (whatever they are) of the person and be forced upon them. That's because he emphasized us with the people in the video who started something different, and the simplistic format doesn't allow for a deeper analysis, so for me that reason is enough to think that.
He promoted simple instinctive reasoning with this video, for the reason of not showing an alternative to the blue stripe that has vital consequences. Let's switch that blue stripe for, idk, drinking alcohol and tattoos on eyes, fashion over practice (like foids wearing no socks in winter with revealed ankles, remember that?)
Wouldn't it be better if people who drink alcohol recreationally, be shamed, ridiculed and laughed at? That the idea of getting really drunk be stigmatized? Shouldn't society use reason, persuasion, empathy and other means to stop its consumption? (This of course is a different deal for alcoholics who are sick, and as any sick person, deserve help and full support in fighting the disease)
Shouldn't the idea of tattoo on eyes be squished, until a far safer procedure be invented that will minimalize the cases where people turn out blind? (Calling people who did the procedure freaks and what not is dehumanizing, and we should refrain from doing that.)
