- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Just fucking stop. He's trying. If he likes it, it works, okay? Goddam everyone gotta be so fucking mean and judgemental. And yes, I'm going through some shit rn
I think he meant "stop being judgemental" not "stop wearing the hat"
Or so I hope.
What colour cowboy hat did you buy?
disco purple
She isn't baggin' on the dude, only saying it sucks to see the hat wearer so uncomfortable. I'd call that a score for empathy.
I fail to see how going behind someone's back to publicly tweet about their insecurity is a positive thing
Yea but it's valid. I wanna try a cowboy hat.
You're living in real life. This is the internet. Everyone is fearless behind a screen.
Wait, you guys are fearless behind a screen? D:
Nope - chronically fearful babyyy B)
I try to not get mad at people who say stuff like this, it's just not worth it.
Instead I try to really confuse them by giving them some strange answer, it's usually funny.
But it’s funny if it’s mysandry!
—The Internet
I think he’s referring to the internet and maybe society at large being more okay with shaming, humiliating, etc men publicly when this would be scrutinized greatly if it was a post about a woman in a cowboy hat but... His reply is totally out of place lol. It’s not like the comment he’s replying to even alluded to anything along the lines.
Cowboy hat is worse than a Fedora
Where does a fez fall on this scale?
