Ask Lemmy

Negatively: Almost any clothing with more than a couple words of text.

Clothing with a prominent brand.

Clothing with right-wing political connotations.

Dyed blonde hair or hair dyed brown/black that should, obviously, be gray.

Tramp stamps. Japanese writing tattoos on non-Japanese. Face tattoos. Neck tattoos. Tattoos of pop culture themes.

Expensive cars. Dodge pickup-trucks. Harley Davidson motorcycles. Dodge Chargers. Teslas.

Police officers.

Positively: Normal clothing. Well-dressed but obviously not expensive clothing. ‘Funky’ style clothing. Clothing that would just look stupid on me.

Wildly dyed hair. Subtlety dyed hair that isn’t covering something up.

Tattoos that are, at least, fairly unique.

Glasses. (I don’t know, I’m prejudiced for people with glasses.)

Old women.

I could probably come up with a lot more. We’re all prejudiced in some way. It’s the things that we’re prejudiced about and how attached we are to those prejudices that define us.

Pop Figures

I judge them for shitty spending choices.

Why buy a piece of plastic that sits in the box, and that box sits on a shelf. Theres literally no point to them. You can walk into the mall, look at all the pop figures in each store, and you just had the same experience as you would have if they sat in your house.

I'm Brazilian and live in a hot coastal city, so I usually pay attention to people wearing hoodies at weird times of the day. Bonus points if they're wearing a hoodie and shorts (it usually mean that guy is concealing something in it, if the guy was actually cold they wouldn't be wearing shorts).

I also tend to be kinda annoyed at people with christian stickers on their cars.

If someone carries a gun and they have a normal low-threat job and live in a normal low-threat suburb: wow, that person lives in a fantasy world, and is just looking for an excuse to hurt someone. What an absolute loser.

Crucifix.

If someone has a good quality bicycle that they actually use: you got your shit together!

Someone normal looking wearing clothing that references a nerdy hobby/interest: this person is self-confident enough to not be afraid to admit to having a nerdy side.

If someone seems extremely socially awkward and is wearing that kind of clothing it's different. But if it's someone who looks like a soccer mom but she's wearing a Critical Role tee shirt, she's cool. Or if it's a guy who looks like a construction worker with an Anime character: nice one, dude.

Harley Davidson clothing: they're very insecure.

Cigarette smokers. Mostly because I hate the smell and smokers have their sense of smell damaged so much they don't notice. And sometimes when it sticks to their clothing I just can't be around them at all.

One of those giant stickers meant to make it look like there’s a tied up woman in the back of their pickup.

At best, it’s advertising that they think abusing women is funny.

A cross necklace

One who wants others to think they believe

A vest over a button up

One who aspires and has not yet achieved

An oversized suit and padded heel shoes

One who is orange

There's a LOT of things. Those are mostly shallow and me being a bad person though. I really judge people when they have super Christian clothing with tiny pieces of random supposedly important Bible verses. Those "don't tread on me" stickers. Really tacky shit in general. I wear a really obnoxious Goku/Vegeta hoodie sometimes, to make sure that the shallowest people will avoid me. I'm a hypocrite lol

A portable speaker. What public space are you going to pollute with your noise?

MAGA gear. A Tesla, esp a Cyberdump. A Calvin Pissing sticker. A Jesus shirt; crosses display faith but a shirt or hat says "this is my whole entire identity". Any Suburban, F150, Super Duty, or similarly oversized American SUV or pickup. I know you never haul anything and your groceries are all in the cab.

If I see a bumper sticker that mentions jesus, I definitely assume that car is driven by the least christ-like person imaginable, and give them space.

Cybertruck drivers.

ETA: Regular Tesla drivers I give the benefit of the doubt to, because they might have bought their car before they realized Musk is a Nazi dickhead man-child. But cybertruck drivers basically knew and didn't care (or still fanboi'd over him).

A lifted truck or SUV

MAGA shit, thin blue line, black US flag, etc...

In case a civil war actually happens, it's good to know the enemy.

For me, it’s a “thin blue line” sticker. I immediately think the person is racist.
