What actually happens
The joke is short. The answer deserves context.
You could wear red socks, red regrets, and a full tomato cosplay, and the bull would still care about the flappy cape doing jazz hands. Bulls react mostly to motion, proximity, and being provoked. The red cape is theater with excellent branding.
How the myth got legs
Every sticky belief has an origin story.
Bullfighting made the red cape famous because it looks dramatic and hides blood well. Cartoons then boiled the whole thing down into one very confident lie.
