Giving bad gifts is an important part of being a man

[–] Mokey@hexbear.net 39 points 2 years ago

Its not a bad gift, its a funny hat that rules

weaponised incompetence moment

sometimes it's not weaponised and I'm just an idiot

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"

[–] Cherufe@hexbear.net 57 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] GeorgeZBush@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago

This is true, many are saying it these days

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 46 points 2 years ago

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

[–] impiri@lemm.ee 44 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

ok but that hat fucking rocks

[–] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Jakeuphigh@lemm.ee 36 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 34 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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.

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

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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 (1 children)

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 28 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 24 points 2 years ago

Dudes ROCK

HELL YEAH BROTHER

[–] 1000mH@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago

I would actually cry. From happiness though!

[–] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 years ago

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

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

dudes rock exhibit #237

[–] tripartitegraph@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

That hat is both ironically and unironically fire

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

Man deserves an order-of-lenin

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

The sheer clumsy earnestness and sincerity gets my critical support. And I hate product placement clothing and NASCAR shit. sicko-wholesome
