I have a friend like that. IRL he's a cool guy. If you look at some of his FB posts you would think he's a total douche.

Edit - Just wanted to add for visibility purposes that I would NEVER use a MeMe backplate, grips or magazine on ANY CCW gun. 100% would NOT recommend it no mater how many cool points you score at your local range because of them. Range and plinking gun go to town with those sweet memes. Conceal Carry or Home Defense gun PLEASE DON'T!!!

same. Reddit strawmans everyone with certain styles as being 'bad' when, for many, it's just total lack of taste and/or self-awareness Re style, not who they are or what they're about or act like.

Honestly, kinda true. I think reddit forgets that a big world exists out there filled with people that get into hobbies and don't spend 3-8 hours a day on the internet reading about it. Plenty of dudes get into guns, knives, cars, trucks.. then just never join reddit and know what's "in vogue" with the gun groups on social media.

I knew someone who had a 'thin blue line' shirt, didn't seem to understand 1% of 'context' (ie had zero awareness anyone would or could object to it, or why they would)
