Hello tumblr! Today we’re going to test something… FEDORAS! Let’s see if they turn me into a misogynist neckbeard MRA who lives in his mother’s basement! SCIENCE!

Shh! What’s that sound?

Ahhh! A Fedora! It’s going to sit on my head!

…uhhh. Maybe this one’s not flashy enough.

Well, I picked this one up at Claire’s a few years ago. That’s a girl’s accessories retailer, but maybe it still counts.

…hmmm. Still nothing. It must have too much femininity to make me a misogynist neck beard!

PERFECT! I even got this one from a friend who actually DOES have a neck beard! This has to work!

Well, I look pretty good in it… but still nothing.

Wait! I KNOW!

Wearing my Brony shirt plus the hat HAS to work!

…hmmmmmmm… looks like I still don’t have a neckbeard, I don’t live in my mom’s basement, I’m still not a misogynist, and I’m still an egalitarian.

Well everybody, I guess fedoras don’t turn you into all of those things. But I have realized an amazing concept. Maybe assholes are just assholes regardless of what they wear!

Let’s put it this way: if you wouldn’t call a woman a slut based on her clothes, why label somebody for wearing a fedora or Brony shirt?

Mind you, there are plenty of people out there who wear fedoras or are Bronies and are jerks. However, there are plenty of people (like me, my fiance, at least four of my friends, and even my neck bearded friend) who wear fedoras and are nice. The first thing I noticed about my fiance back in high school was he had this really cool design on the band of his fedora; he actually helped me get out of an abusive relationship and we’ve been inseparable ever since. My neck-beard friend always gives his whole heart to the women he knows regardless of his relationship to them because he respects them. My guy friends who wear fedoras are nicer than many of the women I’ve known or met in my life.

The bottom line is, nobody should be judged based on their outfit choice, but instead should be judged on their actions, personality, and attitude. Stereotypes are dumb, and tumblr should be the first place to understand that!

tl,dr:When you meet someone who’s a total jerk and wearing a fedora, don’t blame the fedora, blame the jerk! Stereotypes and labels are stupid. Don’t be a hypocrite about it either! How hard is that?

YES THANK YOU. FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT.

Think of it this way: Chris-Chan dresses like the biggest goddamn retard on the planet, but that’s not the reason he’s retarded.

no, his actions are what make him the biggest goddamn retard on the planet, the outfits are just icing on the cake!
