I threw away my Adidas hat immediately because it was red. Couldn't even bare people assuming what it said, fuck that side.
Harry Potter merch
MAGA gear or by association those stupid shirts, hats, and stickers that say “F your feelings” or “we the people have had enough” etc. most people I work and live around that’s there basic fashion and culture.

Being Religious.
Truth. I'm sorry that I'm only allowed one up-vote.
Lifted trucks are sus, especially if they have balls hanging on the back.
Anyone who pays the ridiculous up charge so they can provide free advertising for any big brand. If you paid $50 bucks for a regular ass shirt with nothing but a Nike logo on it then you’re a fucking rube.

It's not judgement so much as a red flag, but those sunglasses that are like a solid cylinder wrapping around your head. They're popular with manosphere dudebros, which is unfortunate because I actually kind of like them.
Lifted pickups that I know cost more than a modest house. It's the same as buying a sports car, except you're also posing as a humble working man simultaneously.
Pit Viper glasses. Gas station boner pills to wear on your face.
Nah, they're cool. Anyone that tells the manosphere to fuck all the way off is cool by me.
I like Pit Vipers, not gonna wear them in public (not my style) but they're cool.
In a prior job I worked in quality assurance, we didn't have dedicated safety people in site so QA handled that too.
We could not get people to wear PPE on their own on the regular, especially ear pro. We'd have people bucking rivets and I'd walk up and hand then ear plugs (I always carried spare boxes of disposables in my pockets.)
Anyway, Pit Viper started making Z87 rated glasses. I bought a pair, started wearing them, people dug them. I contacted Pit Viper and they gave me a discount code for the site. Pit Viper eye pro exploded on site. At about the same time blue tooth ear pro was taking off. So people were wearing all their PPE.
My site manager didn't like the look or the Bluetooth ear muffs and told QA to tell people they couldn't wear them. I said, "Motherfucker, they're finally wearing their PPE and you want me to stop them because you think it looks unprofessional?! You wear white oakleys in public. No."
This is the same boss that wrote me up for bullying him twice. Anyways, the Pit Vipers reminded me of that.
That's extra dope. Shit, I should look for safety-rated sunglasses that don't make people think I'm too homophobic to touch my own ass. They must exist, right?
Big lifted truck with spacers, no tow hitch, and a perfect unlined bed. Why the fuck do you have a big shiny truck and flake on your promise to help your friend move because you don't want to scratch your precious unlined bed. I've had more luck asking a rando with a squarebody Chevy and made an even better better friend.
Had a guy profess his love for crypto on the last flight sitting behind me. He kept rambling about staying connected on discord and getting a heads up before bagholders. If you talk about investment strategies in public spaces and think crypto is hot and you still fly coach then fuck you and curse your family line back to the stone ages.
Really really long fake nails. Less judgement and more confusion I suppose. How do you do normal everyday activities?? I'm baffled
it takes getting used to for sure. it affects how you type, prepare meals, rummage around in bags, put in contact lenses and/or remove eyelashes/etc. from your eyes, and yes, how you hold the TP when you wipe.
it's a hobby and/or fashion statement, and like many of those it has tradeoffs lol. for me long nails was a job requirement (adult entertainment) that turned into a hobby (i learned to do my own because it eliminated salon costs, then found I enjoyed it artistically)
my sister wears these and i guess all i can say to your question is “very carefully.” she gets ones with cool designs on them so i guess i understand the hype, would never personally wear em tho. cant even stand normal nail polish on my nails cuz i get the urge to peel them off immediately :(
Back the Blue
Cybertrucks
Ugh, yes. Seriously, Elon aside, what kinda GIGA-DOUCHE does a person have to be, to see that thing and think "Wow! I must have one!"
Basically the only thing that really bothers me is a lack of epistemological humility, people pretending their views are objectively true.
Blue line American Flag sticker/apparel, especially if it's set inside the Punisher logo.

This is a german thing, but "Camp David" shirts are the first thing that come to mind. There is a good possibility the person wearing it is the most dense and arrogant person you'll ever meet.
Könnt ihr doch sicher bestätigen Germanbros, oder?

MAGA hat
Arc'teryx (hardshell) jackets.
If you're walking around downtown you don't need it. If you actually needed it you wouldn't be wearing your expensive gear downtown.
Agree to some extent, but a counterpoint; some of us who do need them spend a lot of time doing the adventure things and less time making money, so not enough means or care to have nice normal or urban clothes on top of the expensive adventure kit.
So for sure, a bunch of Arcteryx clad status symbol signaling happening down at the local brewery, but don't judge too harshly. Some of us just came down from the mountains long enough to have a pint.

I really love how there's one conservative going through the comments and ascribing a solitary downvote to any mention of conservative values, like trucks, crosses, Cybertrucks (cause it's super specific) and the like.
Hey asshole. How does it feel to be part of a community that hates your fucking guts?

Grunt style shirt
Always on a short or fat dude
I dunno why but short and fat (and consequentially insecure ) men love those shirts
What is a "grunt style shirt"?
The less they did the more they wear it. After getting out I've noticed an inverse correlation between how much somebody did during their military career and how much they want to talk about the fact that they were in.

I’m amazed nobody has mentioned a confederate flag (or confederate anything) yet. My first assumption would be that they’re racist and proud of it.

MAGA shit, thin blue line, black US flag, etc...
In case a civil war actually happens, it's good to know the enemy.

I try not to judge people for what they're wearing or carrying, but sometimes it's difficult.
Just today, I saw a guy in all black, sunglasses, black cap, etc, standing waving a Don't Tread on Me flag.
Beside a Pride parade.
In Edinburgh, Scotland.
WTAF?
