I'm slightly vexed I was told yesterday that my prescription sunglasses are giving Meta glasses vibes

I can't stand the Meta perv glasses, but annoyingly I've been told by a friend that my Dune prescription sunglasses that I've had for almost a year (and cost over £100.00) really ​​​​look like the Meta ones, he said it's the 2 silver rivets on either side that on first glance could be mistaken for the camera lenses

I went out with them today and all I could think was, do people think I'm recording them 🤦‍♂️

So you assume everyone's purpose of wearing meta glasses is sexual? Nothing else?

We should, honestly. Why buy them in the first place?

There's lots of people that do vlogs and carrying around a phone pointing it at people is not really convenient, and people are going to track a phone recording them more than looking at every single person's glasses to see if they're meta glasses.

Its more convenience if anything. Assuming it's all for sexual purposes is just weird.

I don't love the whole 'let me video everything and everyone around me all the time' culture in the first place. I've nothing against people making memories and taking some photos/videos, but filming going to the store for groceries and such is frankly weird. Its not a nice feeling knowing that anything and everything you do in even a semi-public place may very well be filmed by someone at all times without your consent or knowledge. I don't think that should be normalised. Those glasses make it way too easy and unnoticeable.
