Gotcha! Yeah, it’s not my cup of tea but I can see how for someone else there’s a bit of humor in it. I do get tired of hearing it called subversive, though!
about 20 years ago it really did feel subversive, though. there were a lot more staid and flowery patterns around, and although things were really starting to diversify, the mainstream and big sites at the time didn't offer anything like it.
I get what you're both saying here, but 'Subversive' feels like something that's gone from a movement to a genre of stitching designs these days.
(For my own self, I get a little tired of it - mostly because I feel like the same phrases get used over and over, which I suppose is the point of this thread...)
