"If you don't wear Special Clothes around me I'm going to lose it."
When are we going to move past costuming for work?
Dress codes serve as class signifiers. Like most rules of decorum, they're cultural artifacts used to delineate the haves from the have-nots. They don't dislike the fact that Fetterman refuses to wear a suit. They dislike the fact that he dresses like the common people he actually represents. Whereas they dress like the people they represent - capitalist oligarchs. They're wanting to close ranks and keep people from realizing that not everyone in the senate serves the same masters.
Probably never. People will always judge others based on how they are dressed. We subconsciously attach a certain image of what people should look like. And these dress codes are often enforced by society indirectly. 99% of people would not want to have a lawyer dressed casually to court and will pick someone else even if the alternative is by all accounts not as good as the casually dressed lawyer.
My knee jerk reaction to seeing anyone in a suit is "Asshole".
People with their little collars and jackets and ties to make them feel important
The only costume I wanna wear for work is a mascot costume for a sports team that named themselves after an animal.
Best I can do is racist caricature
I still think instead of changing their name, the Red Skins should have changed their mascot to a potato.
It's ok to admit you're a furry on the Internet. We run the damn thing, after all
