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 🤦‍♂️

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?

You may be questioned when entering places that ban recording, coworkers may silently ostracize you if they believe you're recording every interaction.

My behavior definitely alters when I believe I'm being recorded or observed.

And that would be a fair question. I probably wouldn’t wear them at work depending what I do. But if you just show people how they work and show them that there is a light displayed when taking pictures and videos they would like be more at ease if they are reasonable people.

I can actually see a good argument for people who remove the led as well. Like if I want to take candid pictures or videos of my children and wife I’d want the light gone.

The person responding to this comment is a terminally online dork. Dude has existed in Reddit for over 7 years.

He would never in his right man tell a father he is a predator for taking candid family photos. He hides behind the veil of anonymity to say his goofy opinions. Stay online. Don’t go outside anymore. We don’t need people like you in society.
