Selective color

The horribly outdated and tacky way newbie photographers show off their brand new editing skill. Editing a photograph so that a part of it is in color and the rest is in black and white. While this edit does work in some rare occasions, selecting parts of the photo with no relevance adds to the hatred of this dying fad.
...Then she asked the photographer to edit her kids jeans using selective color. What is so special about those jeans, and why do they need to outshine her darling children?

Sculptures by the Selective

Sculptures by the Selective

An Australian event held on beaches, including Cottesloe, WA, where disabled people are only allowed access two days out of fourteen.

Ensuring that the beach matting is only laid out on those days prevents 'visual disruption', according to the organisers, and has other tangible benefits including minimal environmental disruption because it is only open to cripples on weekdays.

Next year the organisation plans to further develop their commitment to exclusivity by targeting and discriminating against other minority groups who may be visually disruptive due to their skin colour, flamboyance or utterly unacceptable forms of clothing that may reflect a person's culture.

In 2019, Sculptures will introduce the 'Sculptures ban the Sarong' campaign so that beachgoers and artists will be less distracted by potentially visually disruptive beachwear.
'Sculptures by the Selective will maintain our commitment to exclusivity by only providing access to white cishet men with suits and post-nominals.'

'We hold our commitment to ableism close to our hearts. In a perfect world, someone would make sure marginalised populations were excluded even more, but we've only been able to manage twelve days.'

selective bitch

Much like the term ‘selective hearing’, selective bitch is when a female chooses who she is bitchy towards, or where and when she would like to be bitchy.

select-o-vision

A situation where someone reads a variety of materials on a particular subject, but that person rejects information or materials -- even if they are factually accurate -- because this information or materials do not support one's beliefs or opinions.
She's a diehard Republican, and she's got select-o-vision. If she reads any articles or books that make Democrats look good -- even if the stuff is true -- she wants to ignore it or pretend it doesn't exist.
