Edit: What do you judge them for?
MAGA shit, thin blue line, black US flag, etc…
In case a civil war actually happens, it’s good to know the enemy.
All of that plus any “Punisher” logo on clothing or vehicles.
Especially that punisher skull motif with the Trump hair. That takes the cringe to a new level.
The punisher would shoot them for that and not look back
So far, I’ve only seen one of those. They’re so stupid looking that if it had been by itself, I wouldn’t have been able to tell if it was meant as a joke. They also had one of those “thin blue line” American flag stickers, though, so that cleared it right up.
I thought you were making this up, but no, we’re really exploring new frontiers of cringe
It’s also a fundamental misunderstanding of the character. It’s like all they know about him is the name and the logo.
I had to do a search. I’m sorry I did.
I’m about to get a LGBT punisher logo for my car. 🤣
100%. I’ve recently added the “Grunt Style” tshirts to my red flag catalog.
Add “Gulf of America” shirts to the list
What’s wrong with a black US flag? It’s a discrete way to display the flag no?
It’s not really a us flag once you change it.
It supposedly means that “no quarter will be given”.
Well, shit. Didn’t know that thanks
Because I’m surely not the only one going ‘why would I want change, I paid with plastic’: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_quarter
Start asking for bills then. No point in asking for dimes or nickels.
Ugh. I hate it when people downvote others for asking legitimate questions. I didn’t know it had a special meaning either, so thanks for taking one for the team. 🤷♂️
It’s against flag code and is considered not a proper flag.
I’m Canadian, they use a black flag up here too. I don’t know or care about proper flag usage, I just know if I see a black Canadian flag on someone’s car or clothing that they:
- hate the left
- own a gun
- want “freedom”
- don’t care about the environment
- possibly racist?
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).
I saw a cybertruck the other day with a “Bought it before we knew Elon was crazy” bumper sticker on it. I wanna give them the benefit of the doubt, since I myself was pro-Elon once upon a time, but c’mon. I know not everyone stays plugged into the news cycle, but you didn’t know until after you bought the cybertruck?
A certain little mustache was generally popular and harmless before Hitler came along, but once the war happened it forever became the Hitler moustache and shaving one’s face that way nowadays invites the comparison whether or not one means it that way.
I think it was actually fairly common after WWI, since it’s about the only facial hair you can really have with a gas mask.
Because if the way I shave, I’m concerned that I’ll have a heart attack just before I finish and I’ll be buried looking like Hitler.
In the UK you can see what year most cars were bought based on the license plate. I absolutely give Tesla owners the benefit of the doubt if it was bought before this year - although Musk showed something of his true personality in 2018.
But the other day I saw a dude driving a Tesla Y with a '25 plate and I absolutely judged him for buying a car fronted by an actual nazi.
He showed his personality when he accused a rescue worker of being a pedophile while trying to rescue children trapped in a cave.
They told Musk to fuck off when he was insisting that his “submarine” can save the day.
All the money in the world and no brains.
Yup, that’s exactly what I was thinking of from 2018.
Musk: “I’ll build a submarine to save them, then everyone will love me even more!”
Cave Rescue Expert: “That’s not an especially practical solution given the situational needs of this resuce operation.”
Musk: “… er… well… pedo!”
For me, it’s a “thin blue line” sticker. I immediately think the person is racist.
On two occasions I made a louder-than-necessary comment to my kids to stay away from those people (MAGA hats too) while they were within earshot and then listed reasons why. Got some dirty looks, but no one ever approached me. Because they’re a bunch of feckless cowards.
Same if they wear a MAGA hat, have a MAGA bumper sticker, or fly a Trump flag.
Or a Punisher sticker.
I can let that one slide if it’s on their car. They could be just trying to get out of tickets.
I see that sticker and I think is this an actual human capable of empathy?
What, just because they’re making it clear it’s not “protect & serve”, but instead “us vs. them”?
It’s The Coward’s Swastika ". Pretty much anyone who flies it is racist and a bootlicker. They’re just afraid to fly the Nazi or Confederate flag…
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.
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 you have a religion, shouldn’t it be your entire identity?
Woah now, Calvin can piss on anything… Surely there is room for comedy there.
The cartoonist never agreed to mechanizing so at best it’s still stealing from the family of a beloved icon.
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.
Worked with a guy that was a heavy smoker. When the first winter came around I didn’t have a good spot to put my jacket. He had a 2 hook cubicle-wall-hang style coat hook. He moved it between our cubicles so I could use it too. I used it once. My jacket reeked at the end of the day.
I also dislike the smell, but I’m a lot more sympathetic to tobacco use than I used to be because stimulants help to correct low executive function and these people are probably managing their disability the only way they know how.
dude holy shit. that actually explains so much about the smokers in my life. they never got the kind of help they needed because when they needed help people just thought they were lazy/stupid. i bet thats where a lot of their negative self talk stems from too. thanks for the new perspective.
A lifted truck or SUV
Bonus hate for intentionally loud mufflers. These people really don’t care how their decisions affect others.
The only exception to this would be for motorcycles. I get that they want to be heard so that some driver doesn’t pull out right in front and cut them off, or attempt to change lanes right into them.
It’s a potentially life saving tactic.
A portable speaker. What public space are you going to pollute with your noise?
Me, connecting to the speaker and opening up pornhub: “it’s showtime”
I use to feel that way before I moved to the city. Now it’s just part of the ambiance
they work in private spaces too
Too late, ya been judged!
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.
Oh man, you’d hate the Midwest. Aside from the obvious reasons, there’s a baffling culture of white dudes who only wear shorts and hoodies no matter the temp outside.
I’m one of those strange folks, but I’m not wearing a hoodie in the summer lol. For me, it’s a compromise between sensory issues and running warm. I hate wearing long pants, and I don’t really mind the cold on my legs, so I wear a hoodie to stay warm and shorts to be comfortable. I’m not putting on a show for anyone, but lots of kids in the midwest absolutely do it for attention.
someone doesn’t appreciate comfort
Eh, I wouldn’t be concerned about something like that if I lived in the US, here tho having a hoodie and no pants is the telltale sign of some dude up to no good. Hell, the last time some dude tried stealing bikes from our apartment building and we caught him in the act he was actually wearing an orange hoodie and shorts lmao
Canadians do this too, and then like flip flops or slip ons with socks. It’s a choice…
I work in a bakery. Bakeries are hot as fuck, so I wear shorts. They also open early as fuck, so I’m frequently walking to work sometime between 3:45 and 5:15, when it’s almost always very chilly.
Sweatshirt and shorts is basically my uniform, plus I look annoyed and I’m out in the middle of the night and fully sober. I imagine I’d put off a vibe I’m not intending to for you, lol.
Socks and slides because blisters aren’t fun.
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.
Eww, thats a thing???
Cybertrucks
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.
Granted, I also can’t stand their art style, but you just described every piece of decorative art. The only requirement of art is for someone to say it is.
Blue line American Flag sticker/apparel, especially if it’s set inside the Punisher logo.
Cops most of all, tells me they’re not only an asshole but an asshole who doesn’t even know what Frank Castle is all about despite rocking the logo
For real. I’m willing to bet most don’t even know it’s from the Punisher, they just like it because it’s a skull, or because they saw the word “Punisher” on the sales tag and thought that was cool.
MAGA hat
Crucifix.
