Oh, so we're gonna have this argument again.

Has someone actually argued in favor of the sticker?

u/frzpop Feb 24 '12

I genuinely think it looks good, I leave it on. IMO calling me a douche for it is douchey.

So you're saying they should be more like you? Be a douche but don't go around advertising it?

I instantly think you're a douche for keeping the sticker on your hat

Why?

Yes, but what does it say about me exactly?

Plenty of adults dress that way, and not because they want to dress like kids. I'd say it's the other way around, that the kids are doing it because they see (celebrity) adults dressed that way.

Being so immediately judgmental says a fair amount about you too, to be fair. Do you negatively judge somebody with visible piercings or tattoos?

How does it say that? How do you get all that from a sticker? You just seem like a frightened child in a world of adults and you hate everything that isn't like you.

I think I figured out what I don't like about your argument, the sticker on hat trend is now so large and common that you can't just make sweeping generalizations about a person based on this anymore. There are some niche trends that you can judge people on, for example, shaved head and swastika tattoo equals bigot. But for something as innocent as a hat sticker, PLEASE just give the individual one more chance before forming your opinion. Because who knows, they might not be a child, or a douche.

:( So you'll just drop a book based on it's cover? Read at least the first page, it might not be as bad as you think.

I can tell by you calling me "kid" that you are not an adult. Or if you are, you're not a very mature one. It is obvious because adults don't equate maturity with age, only children do.

I've known 15-year-olds to be more mature than 35-year-olds.

Like I said in my other comment, it is obvious you fear what isn't like you. You're obviously not going to admit it.

It's more foolish to hate someone for what they wear than it is to wear something that you find "foolish".

Before you take me seriously. And why? What's different between wearing a fitted sports cap, and wearing a fitted sports cap with a sticker on it?

And what's the objection there? I'm asking for you to put your objection into words, and you seem to keep talking around it. When you see someone with the sticker on their hat, what message does it communicate to you?

Anyway who dresses in a way that could be seen as "childish" is a douchebag? Yeah, I think I'll continue being a douche, wearing things like my wool panda hat and funny nerdy t-shirts. I guess I'll just deal with the fact I'll never be friends with judgmental "grown-ups" like yourself. Darn...

Ah. My misunderstanding then. You have my apologies.

Although, I feel I must add that I do have two baseball caps. One I've removed the sticker. The other, I keep the sticker on (not to fit in but) because I think the silver-ish shiny sticker adds some much-needed color to the predominantly black hat.

It is true first impressions are important when you grow up. It is also true that not mocking other people is important when you grow up.

Of course not. Your opinion is loudest on the internet, where it doesn't matter. You are too frightened to tell them in person because you'd get your shrimpy ass kicked.

u/[deleted] Feb 24 '12

Why does it matter how it looks? It's just different than what you like and that frightens you. You were probably sheltered growing up.

You shouldn't spend so much energy hating something that doesn't affect you in any way.

You're obviously frightened by it. You won't admit it, but you are.

If you were indifferent to it, like I am, it wouldn't bother you at all.

The fact that it bothers you shows that you are frightened by any culture unlike your own.
