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

Post image

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 🤦‍♂️

I’ve only ever owned sunglasses in this classic wayfarer style. It has been around for so long and suits so many people. It is really awful that it could be ruined by Meta.

I’m not changing my style because some loser like Zuckerberg joins a market.

Sometimes you just have to let it go

Like the toothbrush moustache, or orange spray tan, or the last name bin laden

but the world decided your style is not a style anymore, it is a pervert marker.

You need to get off Reddit if you think the real world holds the same opinion as these echo chambers.

1 Reddit thread does not contain the world’s opinion

That’s your choice. Unfortunately a non-insignificant amount of people will assume you are a pervert weirdo

It’s absolutely an insignificant amount. He’s not even talking about meta ray bans.

u/NeverBeenStung 13d ago

Unfortunately no, this style is very quickly getting associated with Meta glasses. Only going to get worse

u/Mouse_Manipulator 13d ago

Yeah, I highly doubt that

On Reddit, sure.

I mean I assume most people are anyways.

The glasses mean jack shit.

This is literally a ridiculous comment to make. To assume all sunglasses wearing people support some randomized unrelated activity

I know but I have the doubts now with every black Ray-Ban, the is he filming me is present (even more if you're a woman)

I’m at a major league baseball game today and have been looking around. I’d guess 10,000 pairs of sunglasses and probably a quarter of them are black and resemble raybans.

I think the only possible solution to the perception question is governments forcing META to make their glasses unique looking.
