David Pendragon shared a peculiar incident with internet users several months ago. His nephew Riker was delighted to receive a snack bag adorned with cat illustrations, as he had a fondness for these animals.
However, the seemingly “girly” lunch box became the subject of ridicule from his classmates, who teased Riker whenever lunchtime approached.
David confronted the bullies by showing up to work with the exact same lunch bag, effectively putting them in their place and highlighting that anyone can enjoy what they like without judgment.
Inspired by his actions, members of the social network rallied behind David by buying identical bags to show solidarity. Such was the demand that the bags featuring the “cat” print sold out rapidly.
Owners of the purchased lunch boxes took to social media to share photos online, showcasing their support for David’s stance. These bags were not only purchased by women but also by men, demonstrating a collective rejection of gender stereotypes.
Even a firefighter couldn’t resist the appeal of such a bag, showing that diverse individuals were drawn to the message of acceptance and freedom to enjoy what one likes without judgment.
The cat motifs experienced a surge in popularity, leading to the emergence of similar themes on various items. Photos of cats began to be printed on sweaters, bags, backpacks, and even shoes, reflecting the widespread appeal and trendiness of feline-inspired designs.
Now, the boy confidently carries his favorite bag without hesitation, and thanks to the support of his uncle and internet users, the “cat” pattern has gained widespread popularity!
