[Euphoric] Fedora wearing Thief targeting churches

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

The people saying all Trilbies are Fedoras are being silly pedants, that's like saying "all shorts are pants, so stop talking about them like they're different!" technically, yes you're right, but you're just being an arse.

Spoiler: *tips fedora*

OT: this is hilarious, I'm probably going to be laughing about this for the rest of the day, I love making fun of the fedora euphoric stereotype.

 

[Ryotknife]

Im not going to lie, I knew nothing about the connection between atheists, fedoras, and "euphoric." When I first came in here it seemed like, from an outside perspective, that the churches were being made fun of. Now that I understand the connection I get the joke and find this thread quite entertaining.

 

[Ambitiousmould]

Bah! These 'Euphoric Atheists' giving a bad name to atheists, fedoras and um... euphoria?

I think we are all to blame for not stamping such colossal arseholes when they first emerged from their hatred-filled, malevolent, narcissistic cesspits of narrow minded mysogeny and social and cultural retardation.

Maybe that was too harsh, but this person certainly is a complete and utter Wankersaurus Rex. I'm an atheist, and so what, does that mean I think the Church shouldn't be able to collect charity money? Does it bollocks. Of course they should, charity is charity. Besides, for the most part, religion creates ways of life based around compassion and kindness, with life teachings that can and really should be followed by everyone, regardless of belief.

 

[SadisticFire]

Damn it people, I was wearing fedoras with clothes that don't match at all way before these assshole posers. Hmph. But I do hope he says "Gotta go fast" several times as he runs from the cops. It would make my life complete for the next few days.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

I have no idea what's going on in here and have no knowledge of this inside joke.

But it's still really fucking funny.

Spoiler: I can almost feel the Euphoria radiating from my computer screen.

It feels... so.... good.

 

[Dalisclock]

Needs more fanny pack, metal band shirts, and trench coats.

Funny, I was thinking it needed an official endorsement from Euphoria Magazine

Spoiler: Prepare for Le Enlightenment, sheeple

And I was surprised it wasn't an MLP shirt...

This reminds me of a conversation I had with my sister one night, where somehow the topic of fedoras came up and she said "It means you're a brony". I asked her how they go together at all but she couldn't give me an answer. She just repeated her intial statement that "Brony = Fedora."

So I'm still at a loss as to how the two are connected. I suspect somehow hipsters are related but I've yet to be given an actual definition of what a hipster is by pretty much anyone. All I know is that "hipters = bad"(apparently) but not why or even what they are. The internet has not helped either, because there doesn't seem to be one definition but a slew of them that seem only tangentially related.

Damn it, people, terms mean things.

Goes for you other post too

Spoiler: Ahem

There hasn't been a single person in this thread who has been "happy" over what the thief is doing, everybody has been mocking the thief.

Well took the 5 minutes to look up the meaning behind the joke. Still don't get it.

Also, whats with the fedora hate?

I know other people explained it, but here's another image/reason why there's Fedora Hate

It's not the fedora itself, it's the wearer... It's a stereotype that an overweight, unhygienic atheist wears it to make themselves seem more classy than they actually are

Here are some samples

Spoiler: Le Neckbeards

Well I'm basically two out of the three. Suppose I can't wear a nice hat now.

*sigh* this is why we can have nice things, internet.

There is nothing wrong with the fedora if you can make it match the rest of your outfit. Exhibit A, Yahtzee.

Also, most "fedoras" worn by europhic anti-thiest heroes are actually trilbies.

As far as I'm aware, Yahtzee is where it started: an attitude of smug self-satisfaction, witty intellect and general smartassery, traits that the 'euphoric' have taken as aspiration and adopted the image of. He almost never wears the hat anymore.

The fedora hate is basicly so you can learn who is safe to ignore.

If they hate fedoras because some people who wear them happen to be tosspots, their opinion is pretty damn safe to ignore.

They don't hate fedoras as independent objects.

They are mocking the whole Euphoric package. I don't see many people making fun of Indiana Jones. They hate the tosspots, not their hat, but it seems like a lot of those tosspots are inseparable from their fedoras.

 

[Mr.Mattress]

When did Fedoras go from Hipsters to Euphoric Atheists? I always equated Fedoras with Hipsters... I guess I'm getting behind on my Tropes :/

Those GIFS and images of the Euphoric Atheist Meme are hilarious though XD

Also, that guy that stole from the Churches is a jerk and needs to be arrested.

I didnt really look through the whole thread, but I guarantee you from threads past, there are a few who hate people who wear fedoras in general.

"I didn't actually see anybody doing it. But I'm going to be mad about what I assume people must have done."

Didnt even bother to try to read did you? I Pointed out, very clearly I thought, but allow me to try it again.

The sentiment. I mentioned. Has been. Displayed in threads. In the past.

They are not as prevalent as sexism threads but fedora threads do pop up with some regularity.

That's my bad, I misread. Although I will say I have never actually seen anyone actually hate someone just for wearing a hat. Unless it was an SS Officer's cap, or some sort of hat with a speaker that played Ice Ice Baby on a constant loop or something.

Eh, you've got a point, it is pretty silly to blame an article of clothing just because some people act like assholes and try to make said piece of clothing their calling card.

Hell, even some of these pictures posted so far of euphoric atheists could probably pull the look off if they just put a modicum of effort and awareness into their look and pictures. Even just a few changes would make some of these pictures less cringe-worthy.

1.) At least try to get the lighting and angle right, a lot of these mocked pictures are taken with half-assed lighting, at strange angles, with people trying way too hard to look cool. Look at the old pictures of people in fedoras, they weren't trying to look like deep thinkers staring out a train window or posing on their bed with a nerf gun in the background, fedoras don't automatically make you look cool no matter what, you have to put at least some effort beyond just a hat to pull a look together.

2.) A lot of these pictures are showcases in how not to mix casual and formal wear. A fedora is a dressier hat than a baseball cap or a visor, if you're going to wear one at least throw on a dress shirt and some slacks, even goofy looking people can pull off a fedora if they at least dress for it. Trying to pair a fedora with a shirt with sonic the hedgehog or Rainbow Dash on it is going to look stupid, its like trying to wear a tuxedo jacket and wearing ripped up cargo pants to go with it.

3.) Fedoras come from an age where the style and size of the hat was tailored for the individual, the type of hat you wore was often determined by the size and shape of your head. A lot of these pictures involve hats that are way too small or large for the people wearing them, not to mention that it's almost always the same type of fedora being worn, (the Trilby), there doesn't seem to be any consideration for style, much less getting a hat that fits properly. Fedoras are not baseball caps that you buy with a one size fits all mentality.
I understand that people want to wear nice hats and don't have the money to get one tailored, or at least adjusted, but for the love of god, at least learn what your proper hat size is before you buy something like a fedora.
As far as style goes, you've got freedom to wear what you want, but a person with a rounder and fatter face is going to look a lot better in something like a porkpie hat, compared to the much more angular trilby cut. Hats used to have a language all their own, like flowers, it's really sort of tragic that such a wide variety of clothing that had a lot of thought put behind them, has given way to just buying things off the rack based on guessing what your actual hat size is with no consideration for style or aesthetics.

The fedora itself is a perfectly valid choice of clothing, but there is a small segment of asshole atheists that have attempted to adopt it as a signature of their movement and "enlightenment". Unfortunately, the fedora isn't really worn very often anymore, so they've kind of succeeded in associating themselves with this style of head wear, for good and for ill.

except for the exception of anime (only ever really like Big O and FLCL) thats more or less me to a T. I really can't stand the jackasses over Xbox Live with their homobphobic/sexist comments to the point that I do say "that's not cool, man"

I would never call myself a "proud atheist", I'm Agonistic-Theist, I just cant stand to listen to people argue a point I would of made 4 years ago.

EDIT: Perhaps I would of masturbated into my fedora once, but it's fucking nice hat, eh?

 

[TheDoctor455]

Nowhere in the article is the guy's religion mentioned, only that he is wearing a fedora, and automatically we get "atheists are robbing our churches, herpity derp derp."

You could just as well say it is Linkara over at Channel Awesome - he wears a fedora after all.

Or a time-travelling Indiana Jones for all we know.

Behold, the sinister truth behind Fedoras!

Spoiler: They are not of this world...

Face it, deep down you knew this all along...

It's a textbook case of those who fight monsters, becoming monsters themselves. I would comfortably bet my left testicle (I've got a spare!) that the majority of spiteful little people in this thread would be able to give the stereotype that they're trying so hard to disparage a run for it's money in terms of general hideousness of both mind & appearance.

 

[Mau95]

Seriously, that guy is an asshat.

No fear... this is a rare thread on the Escapist where everyone's viciously attacking the church-thief.

"Euphoria" is a bizarre (and hilarious) attack on extreme atheists, born from Reddit's /r/atheism board. All you need to know is that the internet now has a hate-on for extreme atheists (somehow), that they're called "Euphoric", and the stereotypical euphoric atheist is fat, misogynistic, constantly in the friendzone and wears a leather jacket and fedora.

Spoiler: I needed to use this at one point.

Ah good, although I feel like I should have known better since I know many people on this thread.
And they would be better then what my original thoughts said.
Fear is such a bastard at times.

But I had never heard of this before, well good to know. Good to know the difference too. Now I can join in the fun!
The Fedora never deserved this hate!
That is why we must do this!

That is a very nice image.

 

[Cecilo]

This whole thread is too damn Euphoric! If this keeps up, all my hats are gonna turn into trilbies and my shirts will have sonic on them!

I wonder how they would react if we stole their bibles (The God Delusion by the prophet Richard Dawkins)

Well, considering it's theft, I'll let you guess.

Is this really where we are as a culture? We believe a belief is deluded, so we steal and cause harm because we're "right," and that somehow justifies us. Fuck. THIS is why war exists.

Well, yea, I mean, we did that from 718 (The Reconquista) to 1285, regardless of if our belief has to do with gods, or lack of belief in something, from genetic superiority, to superior concepts, war is and has always been caused by a firm belief in something someone else does not believe in.

So, I'm not disagreeing with you, but there is nothing else that matters to humanity, I am always right, you are always wrong, and until you beat me down, I will continue to believe I am right and you are wrong. Although this can be a terrible thing, it can lead our race and civilizations to do terrible things, if we didn't have it, you, me and ninety percent of the people here would either not be alive, or sitting in fields, hoping our lords don't draft us into service, plague doesn't kill us, or whatever other horrors awaited our ancestors.

We are an ambitious, tenacious race, and we do horrible things, but without that drive we would be nothing.

 

[Multi-Hobbyist]

Hahahaha... wait, so let me get this straight. We're on a fucking video game site full of, let's face it, geeks, and we're all looking down on this dude not for his actions as a thief, but for his preferred clothing style?

Someone doesn't understand humour or the stereotypes that go with said clothing.

OT: Bloody lol. If this does turn out to be some sort of neckbeard basement dweller ... I just wont be able to contain my sides.
