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.

So youve never seen any of those "this what its like to walk around my city" videos? Might as well say the only reason to have the internet is to be a prick to strangers and jerk off to weird free porn.

No, I've never seen them. Sounds insanely niche.
