Edit: What do you judge them for?
Anyone who pays the ridiculous up charge so they can provide free advertising for any big brand. If you paid $50 bucks for a regular ass shirt with nothing but a Nike logo on it then you’re a fucking rube.
This is a german thing, but “Camp David” shirts are the first thing that come to mind. There is a good possibility the person wearing it is the most dense and arrogant person you’ll ever meet.
Könnt ihr doch sicher bestätigen Germanbros, oder?
Oh dear Lord I’m literally wearing one of them! Just bought a couple a few years back, coz they looked durable and comfy! Is this a very general stereotype? I’m gonna have to leave them home when I’m visiting
Camp David = the weird but friendly Boomer neighbour that turns full racist after three beers.
White shoes or white pants.
What about white undies?
Giggity.
Back the Blue
For me, it’s a “thin blue line” sticker. I immediately think the person is racist.
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…
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?
Same if they wear a MAGA hat, have a MAGA bumper sticker, or fly a Trump flag.
Or a Punisher sticker.
i seen so many of them on suvs in a blue area, even on the uniforms of tradespeople who does maitenance for grocery stories, dont want to see it , we already know/.
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.
“Oh awesome, nice Tool shirt. What’s your favorite track?”
Oh, I’ve never listened to them

Harley Davidson clothing: they’re very insecure.
Harley Davidson: „Pay tomorrows prices for yesterday’s technology!“
Wanna know the difference between a Harley and a lawn mower?
The lawn mower has a reason to sound like that.
The lawnmower also serves a useful function.
I mean, a motorcycle is transportation. It can transport maybe you and one passenger (and some light cargo, I know), but it’s more practical in a car-centric service economy than walking everywhere. They’re also pretty fuel efficient for being so light, and fairly dangerous if people don’t notice your tiny ass (which is an advantage of all the noise)
I have literally zero negative or positive opinions about Harleys as motorcycles, I don’t own one or know anyone who does, I don’t even have a motorcycle license so feel free to correct me if you have a differing opinion – to me, they just are what some people enjoy. It’s the… quality of the people who tend to enjoy them that gives me the ick. Like a bar that didn’t quite fully kick the Nazis out. I know they aren’t all Nazis, but there are still a disturbing number of Nazis. Or at the very least, American neo-nazis are not frequently depicted riding crotch rockets from overseas.
That’s true, a motorcycle is transportation. And, I suppose if you just go for a ride around the city taking pleasure at annoying people with the sound of your loud pipes, it serves a “useful” function for you, in that it brings you pleasure.

Ok, well that’s where I differ. Harleys are terrible motorcycles. They use engine technology from the 1960s while bikes from every other manufacturer use tech that’s decades more advanced. The power to weight ratios of their bikes are absolutely terrible, and not just because they’re cruisers, every other cruiser out there has a better power to weight ratio. Then, even worse is the price. The performance you get per dollar from a Harley is just awful.
With Harley you’re paying for the brand name. You get a bike that in every measurable way is worse than a bike by virtually any other manufacturer, but because Harley has done such a good job of establishing a certain image, people will overpay for an underperforming bike as long as it has that brand name attached, and as long as it has the Harley sound and feel. (And that “sound and feel” is basically an engine that is going to shake the fillings out of your teeth because it’s using ancient technology that every other manufacturer has ditched.)
The Nazi-adjacency is part of the mystique. They’re the “outlaw motorcycle gang” brand, and a lot of the outlaw motorcycle gangs are not just violent, they’re also racist, sexist, homophobic, and so-on. It’s really the brand for dentists and lawyers who have boring office jobs but want to spend money to feel like they’re badasses. They’re not going to commit heinous crimes, but they can dress up like the people who do, and feel a bit of a thrill that maybe the people that see them on their bikes are going to be a bit afraid.
I’ve heard part of the reason some people choose a Harley is because the sound makes them more noticeable in traffic, as a safety thing.
The merch is fucking stupid, but at least the noise does have a safety benefit, plenty of motorcycle riders get killed because other drivers didn’t notice them – good luck not noticing a Harley in close proximity.
I would go so far as to say anything Harley Davidson related, even their motorcycles. They are over priced and under performing compared to literally every thing else.
Pretty much ‘anything’ clothing. I guess if it’s a clothing brand of good quality and there is no choice except to wear it with the logo they stick on it might be an exception, but anything outside of that is basically paying to belong to some club with basically no membership requirements except spending money.
Really good quality clothing doesn’t have prominent logos.
Right, if it’s good enough it can quit advertising itself.
Really the only reason for a logo like that is to advertise to other people that you are wearing good quality. Upper income people who can afford actual high quality can’t effectively ‘show off’ that way, so they usually content themselves with flying under the radar while still comfortably fitting in wherever they feel like, or showing of in other ways like cars and vacations, but mid or lower income didn’t have as much leeway and have to take advantage of what they have available if they want to feel either part of a group or better than others.
A classic Casio wristwatch.
Gentlemen, terrorist, or the best engineer you’ve ever met.
Well, I’m not the first, not third, but don’t really intend to become second
Not with that attitude! Come on, believe in yourself, you can do it!
Harry Potter merch
toeshoes. oof.
Arc’teryx (hardshell) jackets.
If you’re walking around downtown you don’t need it. If you actually needed it you wouldn’t be wearing your expensive gear downtown.
Crocs
They’re so stupid looking, but so unfortunately comfortable. I wear a pair indoors all the time, but not to leave the house.
Forgiven
I don’t understand how they are not sweaty as fuck? They are made of plastic, yes?
One of my closest friends is a nurse (now general practice but did years in hospital A&E) and she wore crocs all the time. Changed my response to them completely.
I love my crocs, people who hate on me for them can fuck off hahaha
I fucking hated crocs when they came out.
And then I went on a canoe vacation in Sweden and now I swear by them 😂
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.
A ute with no mud on it. Either it’s brand new, or they have no idea what the point of a ute is, so they bought an overpriced car which is worse for them than an average station wagon
Had to look up what a ute was, for any Americans it’s a pickup truck. And I was going to say the exact same thing, judging people for having a spotless pickup.
“utility truck”
Hm. Cop uniforms. I
accurately appraisejudge them to likely be problematic in all kinds of ways that might threaten my safety and certainly that of others
