i am fine with non-material (just kidding) but get ready for a large roast! your /f/memer skin doesnt fulfill your ultra utilitarian needs and infact works counter to reader accessibilty, usability, and eyepleasingness and is therefore unable to display the lotsa information that you so desperately need.

reasons: the shadows make each letter harder to read (anti-eye design) and rendering this additional text takes up valuable bytes which means that everyone has to load more and pay more for data costs (anti worker design?). similar issues are to be found in the lack of contrast on text and their background, e.g. the buttons 'hot', 'new', etc buttons which feature deep green text on dark blue shadow on a cornflower blue >> thats just too much man! you also use 8 different colours that dont really work together. In this extremely mean rant/criteque, i havent done any scientific methods of analysis unfortunately because i am v. lazy, but try looking at saturation differences, colour blindness tests (the raddle banner is green on green for protanpla blindness), and color contrast tests (the raddle banner and the aformentioned 'hot' types have a contrast ratio of 1.44:1 and 2.97:1 respectively, which doesn't pass any requirements, even as i ignore the shadows that would make it even worse).

so the beautiful thing about material design (while made by trashman boogle co) is that it takes these issues out of your hands through a simple and beautiful design langauge, where you end up with a webpage that is accessible, readable, and doesnt look like ass. thankyou for listening to my speech. i think on raddle we might need to take some direct action to make ugly forums more accessible thanks as well.
