It's not about accepting the terrible thing that it represents. It's about accepting the person who wears it. That's a person under there. And yeah, you might be rightly mad for them that they have to wear it, but a lot of people take that emotion and use it to attack people who look different than them (it's a very human thing).

So, we show people who wear them because they want to so that people stop taking the anger at the thing and directing it at those wearing them. Or, at least, that's the theory.
