For the past several derbies you males have voted in these dorky dinosuar/ video game/ looser-y masculine themed shirts, and then they never sellout! Dont vote if you arent going to really buy it! Why dont you let the people whos shirts would actually be perchased win one every once in a while? And if they happen to be adorable, so be it!
There are just as many women who object to the "cute" shirts as men, and also women voting for the awesome dinosaur/video game/awesome-y tshirts (example: me). There are also many men who adore and vote for the "cute" shirts.
Let's not start making grossly inaccurate gendered assumptions and caterwauling about teh evil menz, mmmkay? The patriarchy needs to be fought elsewhere, my dear. That is not the issue here. Here, the battle rages between the forces of kawaii and the besieged remnants of humanity. Please step over to your side and pay attention.

While I've greatly appreciated all the love this design has gotten (as unexpected as it has been), this design stands little to no chance at a print against it's competitors. It's going up against a video game parody, a star wars parody, with a rockin' robot close on it's tails. As sad as I will be to see it slip away, I in no way could expect a win against those big guys. Thanks for all the support so far though, and keep it up! You never know...maybe a miracle?
You might be surprised by how you end up doing (I really hope you are). While I am staunchly against the cute epidemic that has hit woot, this shirt does not fall into the same cute-hole that the other currently fogged designs do. I would not wear this shirt myself, but it has my vote because my cousin is obsessed with elephants. She would squeal my eardrums bloody over this shirt. It is a very charming design.
