Tbh i like the look just not the political views of.the people who wear stuff like that. I think ironically it would work really well.

I live in a red boating area and this is almost exclusively what they wear.
Sounds about right.
If we made a list of all the things American chicks wear, these would be on that list.
An actual ally character from Shiren the Wanderer 4, which never made it to the US: https://archive.rpgamer.com/games/mystdungeon/shiren4/art/shiren41.jpg
(Why did it never make it to the US? It has some, uh, unfortunate NPC designs.)
Japan has kinda had a thing for texas for a long time
I mean, I did see this last weekend
As an alabamian, they aren't totally wrong
Lies
Dear Japan: not all white women look or dress like Tina Armstrong from Dead or Alive.
See, I look nothing like this:
🤔
And also for your information, that is clearly a picture of uh, "American actress Jaime Pressly" who is totally a completely different person.
Shut up dummy!
Hey guys! I think I found Jaime Pressly's account!
It's clearly Samantha Weaving
This picture is from a trip to Miami. If it's sold in America, then it's what Americans wear. I agree with Japan.
That bikini top is absolutely the wrong size for that mannequin. It should be wearing a much larger cup size. If that were on a woman with the same proportions it would be as uncomfy as hell. Of course, I highly doubt the shop even stocks the mannequin's size at all because very few people have that big a cup size. So really the problem is that's a shitty mannequin.
She'd slosh impressively though, if she wasn't made of fiberglass anyway.
Honestly. The only thing they got wrong is the cowboy hat, and that's just because it's uncommon in most areas of the states. We'll slap the flag on anything - even things that it's "illegal" to put the flag on according to the same rules that say that you have to burn the flag if it touches the ground, like paper napkins.
As a Dallas resident, I'd assert that the cowboy hat is a fairly common accessory for women. Not so much for men until you get way out into the rural areas. (Fort Worth Stockyards notwithstanding)
Sure, but Dallas ain't the east or west coasts, and even in the Midwest, it's probably pretty spotty from one locale to the next on whether or not you'll see them being worn. I think big straw/woven sun hats are probably more uniformly worn across the country than cowboy hats.
Now, if we were talking about baseball caps with a sports logo on it, then I'd say it's as endemic to every corner of the country as oxygen is.
It's actually against the flag code, which is not law. So it's at worst deeply disrespectful, depending on how seriously you take that kind of thing. But we also have this freedom of expression thing going on, which includes being obnoxious or disrespectful, so one might have a hard time getting the flag code into law in the first place.
We should incorporate a titty exception into our flag code.
That's why I put illegal in quotation marks. It's not actually illegal, and few people even know what a flag code is, let alone care about what's considered disrespectful (except when it comes to protesters burning the flag, then it's horrible and offensive).
Besides, consumerism trumps everything, so companies will happily slap a flag on anything and everything because American jingoism will eat it up.
It's not illegal, it's just 'against flag code' which is not and can not be law.
Funny enough, burning the flag is the proper way to dispose of damaged flags, according to flag code. Those damned anarchists and their proper flag disposal
As I said in another comment, that's why I put illegal in quotation marks. I honestly couldn't come up with the right term, so I just went for the sarcastic air quotes instead.
As for the flag burning, you and I are on the exact same wavelength there. I commented on that in my other comment, too!
