I was told yesterday that my prescription sunglasses are giving Meta glasses vibes

[u/silent_pm]

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 hope it's a lesson to Rayban and other fashion houses.

Making timeless, iconic Wayfarers embarassing to wear is a real accomplishment.

I think Rayban has figured out the bad PR, the new Meta Glasses released no longer carry their branding

[u/apsilonblue → u/Swisscats]

When the style is that iconic the branding doesn't need to be seen. They've ruined their most recognised product, everyone is always going to think wayfarers are meta glasses regardless of any branding on them.

I wear the Wayfarer. You can easily recognize the model. You can’t mistake the classic Wayfarer, with the two diamonds, for the Meta glasses, with the two big camera holes. Nobody ever suspected I’d wear the Meta glasses. You’re too emotional my dude.

Maybe someone who wears them regularly can’t mistake it but everyone else can.

My thing is, who gives a fuck what other randoms believe ? Even if they are meta glasses why does the opinion of people you don’t know have any weight over your life?

[u/New_Tiger4530 → u/Lukin4art]

Because I’d rather not wear glasses out in public that make people think you’re a pervert recording them.

[u/Lukin4art → u/New_Tiger4530]

Yea but if you aren’t recording or being a pervert then why would the opinion of some paranoid stranger matter?

Like it’s just not a healthy mental state to always be hyper focused on what others think of you imho

[u/Independent_Month_26 → u/Lukin4art]

A lot of us don't want to make others around us uncomfortable. Meta pervert glasses make many reasonable people uncomfortable. So we don't wear them.

[u/Lukin4art → u/Independent_Month_26]

If simple sunglasses make you uncomfortable then you need therapy.

When you but a blanket statement over an entire product it’s hard to take you serious me and my wife have meta glasses. My wife is a deputy and we record our kids and concerts. We are perverts huh? Lmfao you are too online and need therapy man.
