It's not the particular colors or the act of dying they hate. It's just cultural signifiers that put some people in one group or another. They hate men in high heels except cowboy boots that often have a high heel. It's what just happens to be associated culturally with groups.

The reason why NFT artwork is worth millions isn't just for a speculative market so another chump will buy it from you at a higher price, but it also has another value. Like all artwork it is used for tax avoidance. The high price of NFTs allows a wealthy elite to squirrel away millions to accrue value without being taxed. They are more handy than a real piece of artwork or some expensive property in London because a digital image isn't vulnerable to physical damage or maintenance costs. It's obvious why this shit is exploding.
