oh the irony

@CrashGordon94  
That’s like saying it’s okay to wear Sonic or pony t-shirts in public.
 
oh wait

The worst part about this picture: In her story, she briefly wears a fedora.

@CrashGordon94  
Meh, I just like the designs; couldn’t care less about the “Dark Is Not Evil” cause or any other baggage that some in the fandom attach to them. I especially like them when they’re portrayed as cute, as in Heroine Addict’s examples or in Egophiliac’s works.
 
But yeah, this image is a decent pic marred by some stupid text.

I must admit, Bat Ponies really get on my nerves, I think it must be the obnoxious fetishisation of nocturnal things and “Dark Is Not Evil” stuff that’s so common on the web and even in this fandom (see how people generally treat that dumb bitch Luna).  
The fedora hate also really pisses me off… I generally see hating someone for wearing a certain kind of hat used a hypothetical example of really dumb judgmental hatred in parodies… Then there you go with people who are supposed to be the open-minded ones doing it for real! ¬_¬

@DurgaHurga

>being presented with proof that bat ponies are adorable  
>calling it an opinion  
What the fuck?

@Background Pony  
@Heroine Addict  
These are opinions.  
Spiders are also cute to some people.

^It also works for college professors who are at least in their 40s, or detectives.

You’re not a 1940’s gangster or a shady Government official. You don’t get a fedora.

@Background Pony  
Bat ponies aren’t necessarily “edgy”. They can also be downright adorable. Take, for instance…  
 
 

She’s cute :3

@alexrockclimber  
Just as some people don’t suit some other hats.Tbh I don’t care what people wear really, especially random people on the internet.

@Background Pony  
I didn’t say they were douchebags just that they didn’t suit one.

And i though nobody will catch on that obvious trap

@DurgaHurga  
I have to agree with this. Bat ponies are even more dark and edgy than Luna, and Luna is already annoying enough.

@Background Pony  
Unfashionable = douchebag?

I don’t hate bat ponies.  
More that they are too edgy for me.

@Background Pony  
It’s because lots of people seem to be wearing them who don’t suit them at all but think it’s the coolest thing in the world. Some people do suit them who wear them but on the internet, no.

@Peng  
I still find the association between fedoras and douchebags to be absurd. What hat you wear has practically no bearing on whether you’re a nice person or not. For any common style of dress I guarantee you I could find both monsters and saints wearing it. Hell, there’s probably even a Buddhist monk somewhere out there with a Hitler moustache.
 
I’m not sure where that association started, but it certainly seems to be very popular among tumblr feminists and judgemental morons on 4chan.

What the hell is the thing against fedoras now?

Fedoras were cool until douche bags.
