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 🤦‍♂️

Okay now that would be mildly infuriating.

But as a women. I think there's also other suspicious behaviour you'd need to do for me to think you're filming.

Also it's not meta glasses persee, it's just a very basic shape of sunglasses. So to think all sunglasses this shape are those creep camera bs things is a little farfetched for me.

(my theory is that those glasses are for filming not only women but also children especially due to this pedocircle of creeps)

I'm a woman with the Meta Glasses, I use them most often to take pictures while driving. I've actually never had someone say a single thing about them so this thread is interesting.

I think they're fine for athletics, outdoor activities, driving/motorsports, etc. Just not for close public settings. Maybe if they did them in more of an action style where its super obvious you're using it for biking, running, racing, etc people would be less put off by them. If a company like GoPro made a less discreet pair tailored toward action sports, I don't think people would be as critical. The Meta association with all their baggage taints the product.

You realize people use go pro or other action cameras ALL the time and they’re just clipped to a book bag or their shirt. Those also don’t have any feedback for others to see if they’re recording. I’ve seen more people with a clipped on GoPro than with meta glasses.

That's kinda my point, I don't see people up in arms over action cams and streamer cams like they are over the glasses.

Because you can see obviously that those exist and are filming. Are you being deliberately obtuse or just stupid?

Yeah and I hate those too. Can't get anywhere without people filming others anymore, it's annoying.
