Just fucking stop. He's trying. If he likes it, it works, okay? Goddam everyone gotta be so fucking mean and judgemental. And yes, I'm going through some shit rn
She isn't baggin' on the dude, only saying it sucks to see the hat wearer so uncomfortable. I'd call that a score for empathy.
I fail to see how going behind someone's back to publicly tweet about their insecurity is a positive thing
Plus, it’s jumping to conclusions. Maybe the dude had an upset stomach and went into the cafe for a chamomile tea. So he was making a funny face. Who fucking knows. Anyway, the claim that the person going “hmm he’s not pulling off that look” then posting it online is being empathetic is wild.
nah fuck that. you don't need to justify it.
wear your fucking hat. its better than 100% of the idiots making fun of it.
I think he meant "stop being judgemental" not "stop wearing the hat"
Or so I hope.
thats what i got from it too
What colour cowboy hat did you buy?
You're living in real life. This is the internet. Everyone is fearless behind a screen.
Wait, you guys are fearless behind a screen? D:
Nope - chronically fearful babyyy B)
for real, no matter what you do, someone will hate on you for it….
not too long ago, i was walking through a large wooded dog park with my guitar, dicking around on it quietly as i walked over to a nice private spot to play away some feelings (going through some shit myself).
the next day, some frumpy middle aged lady came up to me and said, “what, no guitar today?” in a clearly taunting manner… i responded with distain but i should’ve yelled at her….
can i really not play an acoustic guitar in the woods without someone giving me shit for it? i wasn’t strumming and singing all loud or anything, wasn’t seeking attention… just entertaining myself quietly….
everyone listens to music, it’s one of the most universal human traits… but nowadays if you play music people act like there’s something wrong with you…. unless it’s in a prescribed setting….
I try to not get mad at people who say stuff like this, it's just not worth it.
Instead I try to really confuse them by giving them some strange answer, it's usually funny.
good tactic
Yea but it's valid. I wanna try a cowboy hat.
Imagine seeing the guy with the hat and not only judging him but thinking “this is an opportunity to get likes and shares on the internet.”
Cowboy hat is worse than a Fedora
Where does a fez fall on this scale?
But it’s funny if it’s mysandry!
—The Internet
A cowboy hat is mysandry?
I think he’s referring to the internet and maybe society at large being more okay with shaming, humiliating, etc men publicly when this would be scrutinized greatly if it was a post about a woman in a cowboy hat but... His reply is totally out of place lol. It’s not like the comment he’s replying to even alluded to anything along the lines.
