Why are you people shaming people for what they wear?
Imagine if this were an image of a trans woman wearing a beautiful pride rainbow skirt with two muscled pitbulls, all of you would be considered jerks for shitting on her, yet here we are ragging on this dude and his poor taste in jackets.
Well, in your example, one is being proud of who they are and the other is making thinly veiled threats of violence.
it is the people who feel the most inadequate who need the most validation from everyone else. it's really rooted in fear. fear that maybe someone else finds them as pathetic as they find themselves
If that's how you perceived it, that's more of a you problem. I see a man that embraces peace after seeing the violence of war. Or a man capable of violence but prefers peace. If all you see is hate and violence ce that as I stated is a you problem.
We’re in the minority here but you’re not alone.
This guy is expressing a perfectly valid and mature attitude which is exactly what you said.
These people are hating on him because they’ve not left their comfortable worlds of childhood, and have never been in a situation where they had to learn anything about violence.
Sheltered, bitter, hateful people with nothing better to do than to photoshop some random stranger’s clothing so they can have their two minutes’ hate for the day.
I've never seen a trans woman in a pride skirt that was letting the world know she was ready to shoot them.
Maybe trans ladies should start doing this and it would be amazing.
If her rainbow skirt also threatened violence I can see the comparison but it likely wouldn't.
His jacket is not threatening violence.
😂 you must not understand subtlety or English is your second language.
To be fair, that font is a crime against humanity so I think ragging on his jacket is fair play. It could say:
"I love corgis
I really do"
with the cutest corgi ever and that jacket would still be a crime.
