That's oddly endearing, and SOOOOOOO much better than what a lot of people are subjected to.

Dare I call it, wholesome, even. Not ideal, but homie is trying there.

Yea I was like "that's adorable"

[-] Selkie210@lemmygrad.ml 62 points 2 years ago

Don't even think he's confused, that's a quintessential man gift there

[-] Mokey@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago

I am legitimately confused on how thats not a great gift.

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

Because being a guy doesn't necessarily mean you want something this horrendously tacky

[-] h3doublehockeysticks@hexbear.net 46 points 2 years ago

If you're a man and you don't want this as an ironic gift we can't be friends

[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

There's 2 types of dudes: Dudes who will put this hat on and then mimmick the sound and motion of accelerating a dirt bike, and dudes who will do that same thing but ironically to mock the kids they knew in highschool who did that unironically

Inside of you there are two wolves

[-] Mokey@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago

Perhaps Mountain Dew race car hat is the moms boyfriends way that he sees masculinity and hes trying to share that with her trans kid. Thats really sweet to me.

Its a funny hat too maybe its okay to wear the funny hat

[-] krei@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Wellll, I'm not sure about that. I would say that's actually one of the core tenants.

[-] Cherufe@hexbear.net 61 points 2 years ago

Dudes, and this wont be reported on most mainstream media outlets, rock

[-] GeorgeZBush@hexbear.net 35 points 2 years ago

This is true, many are saying it these days

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 54 points 2 years ago

Catch me in that hat with my I paused my game to be here shirt and cargo shorts at the anime convention to get a heroic dose of gender euphoria

[-] Mokey@hexbear.net 50 points 2 years ago

If i was transitioning to male this gift would crush so hard

[-] impiri@lemm.ee 47 points 2 years ago

Who among us has not been in the checkout line of a Kwik-Stop and felt a sudden sense of pride and appreciation for our girlfriend's trans son

[-] amtoodumbtousethinkbox@hexbear.net 47 points 2 years ago

ok but that hat fucking rocks

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 45 points 2 years ago

This is really fucking cute. I like this, it's comical in a nice kind of way.

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 39 points 2 years ago

I'd wear it, dudes have to rock after all

[-] Jakeuphigh@lemm.ee 37 points 2 years ago

I gotta say, I don't have much insight into the trans experience at all but this tacky gift really does seem sweet. The intention of the gift is more important than the gift itself

[-] Rashav3rak@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I can absolutely see myself buying a gift like that for a trans guy, not because I think it's a good gift, but because it's such a comically stereotypical Man Hat, and it kinda rocks with how over-the-top tacky it is. It works as both a genuine affirmation and a funny gag gift.

[-] Mokey@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

Even if it isnt the dude is trying to relate which is based

[-] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's the thought that counts. Trans people barely even understand gender, mum's boyfriend is trying and that's what matters.

[-] GreenTeaRedFlag@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Trans people barely even understand gender

I'm curious if you meant to say non-trans. I'm not saying I disagree, this just isn't a take I see a lot as it currently is written.

[-] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

I meant it more like "Trans people barely even understand gender (even though they think about it more than most people), how is mum's boyfriend supposed to understand it"

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Honestly that's awesome. I don't even drink mountain dew or watch NASCAR, but I'd still wear it in that situation.

[-] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago

Dudes ROCK

HELL YEAH BROTHER

[-] 1000mH@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

I would actually cry. From happiness though!

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

dudes rock exhibit #237

[-] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 years ago

Doing the best he can with the tools he's got

[-] tripartitegraph@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

That hat is both ironically and unironically fire

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

Man deserves an order-of-lenin
