All the people on here calling guys who like military/tacticool aesthetic insecure are no different than people calling guys fags for wearing skinny jeans.
No. Thinking that girly bags make you girly is the same as saying skinny jeans makes you gay.
Being insecure when you see a guy in tight pants and feeling things your pastor told you that you shouldn't
Noticing insecurity in others, as they scramble to camouflage something they've internalized as an "other gender" coded activity.
Turning your diaper bag into a tacti-cool military gear is more akin to the sorority sports team that needs to color everything pink and add a tutu as an accessory, so nobody will mistake them as being too butch. It's the fashion equivalent of shouting "No Homo!"
It's the association with what they believe, not what they wear and not their insecurity.
You are making an assumption about ~~someone's~~ everyone's character, worldview, lifestyle and political association based on a single piece of information - how they like to dress. You're one step away from crossing the street when you see a black guy or asking an asian for help with a math problem.
If Nazis said "I like ice cream" rather than "Heil Hitler" then when someone went to an ice cream store and innocently ordered, I would correctly assume they are a Nazi. Not my fault the Nazis ruined ice cream.
So don't dress like this, it's the new Nazi uniform. If you do, wear a swastika because there's no difference. Or wear a tiny rainbow anywhere and nobody will assume that. The way we dress absolutely tells our story, you wouldn't be upset if it didn't.
This isn't a race thing so much, same story for Black, Asian, or White people that dress this way (in my area there's a pretty equal split tbh).
Oh man, a MOLLE bag where all the straps are Pride rainbow stripes? That would be awesome.
Found the guy who is afraid to wear skinny jeans or use a normal diaper bag.
