Which mustache style should I have to take a picture in front of the Eifel tower? 🧐🧐🧐 /S
Being anonymous on the Internet is also favored by predators, but that ain’t gonna stop me from doing that, either.
All staches do. And yes we’re all aware. (Is 2001 gen z)
And yes I still have a stache.
Well, not all staches are child predator adjacent. The Charlie Chaplain, the Fu Manchu, the Hulk Hogan, and the Inspector Poirot have other connotations.
And the classic 1970s-80s Tom Selleck is definitely the pornstache. Boom-chicka-wow-wow.
Oh. I’m certainly not talking about well kept and styled mustaches.
Oh, I see. You mean the Pedro Pascal moustache. Fair enough. Well, we aren’t all blessed with the ability to grow a thick, svelte lip ferret.
I’m Gen X and that is not what I associate it with. It makes me think they do porn.
Copstaches in polite company. Maybe cop-chic is coming back (if it was ever a thing).
Xennial (or gen-x, if you use the old one that goes to '82 instead of '80) here and same.
Some might know, some might not know. I don’t think it’s relevant to them and would never confront anyone about it. This connection will die out with time (sooner than the older people, they’ll just get used to seeing it).
You seem to be the only person that truly understands the question. I never said it was all mustache styles. I wouldn’t say anything to them either. I also agree any past associations will die out.
I simply was asking whether or not gen-z is aware there was a time when young folks were shown videos and pictures of “predators” that for some reason always had an unsettling mustache style.
This doesn’t belong here - it’s definitely a stupid question. Why should anyone care what you think about their facial hair, or any other body choice?
This isn’t OP’s personal association that’s unique to them. The Hitler 'stache is another style of facial hair with unfortunate associations…
Elder Millennial here. I think I just have that “eww pedostache” reaction because, when I was young, such mustache styles were common among middle-aged men who hadn’t updated their styles since the '80s. Some of those men were creepy, so the mustache style became associated with creepy old men. And of course, teenaged giggling among ourselves about “eww pedostache!” really cemented the association.
I’m pretty sure our parents had the same initial reaction when we brought aviator glasses back into fashion. We’ll get over it, the cycle continues.
Is Generation X aware that the popularity of tattoos today reminds Baby Boomers and The Silent Generation of criminals?
That’s kinda what this question sounds like. The generations that come after don’t care about the sensibilities of things that mildly challenged the more conservative norms of the generations before them, and why would they?
Yes. We don’t care. That association is stupid.
Or telling. Someone might have hurt OP.
It’s the pornstache and it’s back, man.
I associate them with 70’s porn, personally.
Which style? No need to be coy about it. Just say it.
I’ve always found jokes like that to be distasteful and weird.
This style?
I’m a Xennial and besides Kip Dynamite it reminds me of dudes that make really detailed model airplanes but idk about the child predator thing.
Maybe you are projecting if you see a moustache and think of a child predator
Just a midwesterner who was show tons of videos and photos in the 80s and 90s of a version of someone to stay aware from. There was a clear theme. It wasn’t a well kept, full style mustache. It was often referred to as dirty or unkept or unsettling patchy.
But sure, attack me. That’s one approach to the discussion on a silly topic.
So you’re saying you were purposefully shown a set of images that featured mustaches and were told these are what predators look like?
That sounds similar to being taught to fear ethnicities or other ways people present themselves.
Seems like an oversimplification of the world done by narrow minded people who were very misguided.
I would rather attack you and make you cry because I have nothing else going on in my life and this is the one place I feel like I matter.
Cry for me please. Please?
