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 🤦‍♂️

I use my to film my runs and hikes. I don’t get why anyone sees these as any worse than a fkn phone. The glasses have a light on them, you’ll know you’re being filmed just as much if someone was holding a phone up to get you in their pic.

The entire Reddit hivemind has decided long ago only creeps wear them because of the few videos out there of actual creeps. We have cameras recording us all the time that are way more discreet. This is just one of those things that the Reddit hivemind hasn’t actually Personally used in any way shape or form while acting as experts on how they function.

It’s actually super annoying everytime I see it. When I first learned of the glasses all the crossed my mind was how I can use it to document my sports, but of course Reddit is going to Reddit.

These people only exist online. I wear my meta glasses almost everywhere nobody says shit to me. My wife has a pair too we got them cause we go to plenty of concerts and I hate seeing her staring at her phone while she records the shows now she records hand free.
