Seeing how quickly libs all latched onto calling people weird has been really disheartening (not surprising). I really can't stop thinking about how harris would have bullied me at high school.

Anyway, this shit is embarrassing for sure

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I will say it’s a bit different at a political rally than just in a Kroger. Still embarrassing, but definitely less so.

One man political rally in the Kroger, you mean lol

Its not really that different from a shirt, hat or pin, its more embarrassing who and what theyre representing

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not wild about the "weird = bad" association myself.

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

President Harris to outlaw Freak Flags, and persecute those who fly them. More to come.

[–] hypercracker@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

the social mores of this place were built on the concept of bullying fascists for how they're objectively little fucking freaks lol this is just the libs stealing our methods

I guarantee someone who posts here has gone out in public wearing a hammer and sickle cape. Dunno who. But I'm certain of it.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I wear a trans colored ☭☭☭ on my vest if that counts but it's also got a ton of other shit on it, including the words "commie scum" in white out.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh dear god, white out? You can mix like 1/6th fabric paint with cheap acrylic paint and have it still work as fabric paint, but I highly suggest you learn to screenprint. It's easy as hell, I dunno if there's a DIY spot in your town or a punk venue or at least a punk with one themselves, but there almost always is. It ups the cool factor so much and it holds well.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'm lazy and it holds fine with a few coats. emilie-shrug

It means you can make your own shirts and stuff with more complicated graphics too

[–] pumpchilienthusiast@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

i don't want to look like a weirdo, I just go with the muumuu

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

As someone who wears less comfortable clothes in order to look cool as hell at all times, I respect the Mumu'd. My Phillipines co-workers were hyped I used a garbage bag as a raincoat cause that's the style back home and I examined it's because no one was made waterproof clothing that looks cooler than a trash bag

Pride is there in the name, if there's any flag that isn't weird to wear as a cape it's that one.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's weird to wear a flag if you're already winning. We have weird leeway cause we're trying to destroy the status quo, by definition qere gonna be a lot of people that don't fit into the status quo. People that want to maintain it don't have that excuse. If you support Trump follow.what I'm.sure would.be his fashion advice and ditch the cape.and find a nice suite.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Yeah I'm just being coy I'm decked out in trans bracelets and stuff because I've gotten rad conversations out of it in public before

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Ok, in my defense it was at pride.

Yes it's weird, but is it a Walmart? Granted, I haven't been in quite a while, but the signage looks off?

Again, fucking weird to wear a Trump flag as a cape to go grocery shopping.

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

It’s a Kroger, my partner and I just spent 5 minutes trying to figure it out based on the deli sign and that sale sign in the bottom right

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

yeah that's a krogers

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Oops, the town's name in the original post title was close enough to Walmart that it scrambled my brain.

[–] SweetLava@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

i recognized instantly because of sushi

[–] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah the "weird = bad" thing is just another Hitlerian dogwhistle from the "progressive" Democrats.

Might as well start outright calling minorities freaks. We know they are thinking it.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

Might as well start outright calling minorities freaks.

What they want to say is that d-gen word, but the fascists in the media have already re-latched onto it, so they had to go with "weird"

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

I am hearing the "Feeling Strong Now" Rocky music just looking at this guy.

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

Because weird is not a strong enough descriptor?

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago
