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
I think he meant "stop being judgemental" not "stop wearing the hat"
Or so I hope.
What colour cowboy hat did you buy?
Yea but it's valid. I wanna try a cowboy hat.
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)
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.
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.”
But it’s funny if it’s 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.
Cowboy hat is worse than a Fedora
Where does a fez fall on this scale?
