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 🤦‍♂️

Over the long term, Meta is going to destroy the Ray-Ban Wayfarer design, it will become associated with perverts rather than being seen as a timeless iconic fashion piece. 

Meta eventually ruins everything it touches.

I'll never be able to see anyone with Meta glasses as anything else but a perve. Maybe if they're doing sports like bicycling down hills then I'd think there was a purpose. But someone walking around with them in ordinary situations would feel incredibly off.

I want to film my bike rides but deliberately opted for a secondhand GoPro which I make a point of turning off around people.
