it's republicans' faults for choosing the damn color, not everyone else for using it

you aren't wrong, but its important to consider how/why they're using it, because it can be used to make people think a lot of different things:

these are the "effects of red"

Quote

Stimulating: to the physical senses- the loveual and physical appetite. It stimulates the deeper passions within us, such as love, love, courage, hatred or revenge. If you have a flagging love life and would like to introduce more passion into it, introduce some red into the bedroom � the more red, the more passion, but don�t overdo it or it will have the opposite effect.

Exciting and Motivating: it excites our emotions and inspires us to take action.

Attention-getting: it demands you to take notice, alerting you to danger. This is why we have red traffic lights and stop signs � it is the universal color for danger.

Assertive and Aggressive: drivers of red cars should take note! A small survey I did a few years ago showed that drivers of red cars, including females, said they felt quite aggressive behind the wheel of their red car.

and what "red represents"

Quote

Energy: it boosts our physical energy levels, increases our heart rate and blood pressure and prompts the release of adrenalin.

Action: it is fast moving and promotes a need for action and movement.

Desire: it relates to physical desire in all its forms- loveual, appetite, cravings.

Passion: it means a passionate belief in an issue or undertaking, including passionate love or passionate hate. Anger is negative passion.

it makes sense why a political party would want this color, but its too easy to turn it on them from a designers perspective lol republicans should go pink its calming

red can mean a lot of things, it depends on the social message.
red in food marketing sense is to make people hungry
and in this case, red is to make people feel concerned, more aware and more likely to take action, as a sign of 'warning'

aside all of this, though. i don't see how the techniques used in a poster would serve any kind of harm, rather spreading awareness of that this is a problem

otherwise im definitely missing out something here.

no. he said he felt like people werent looking at both sides of it an, from the tonality of his voice, it seemed like it was a little disappointing to him. he didnt really voice an opinion on how he thought people were taking it other than that

if you want to understand net neutrality - if you want to understand anything in full, then yes you should most certainly look at both sides of the coin, or at least attempt to
