    It's ironic that the posterboy of the neckbeard meme is actually pretty chill unlike most neckbeards. A real neckbeard would probably respond to having a pic of him being a meme in "righteous anger" or as proof about "how awesome he is" and how "every girl should want to date him". It's also nice to see people being respectful instead of bullying him.

    • @blengdiabloed7335
      @blengdiabloed7335 5 років тому +165

      the fact is, he isnt a real neckbeard. he is a professional person who worked as an actor so he have some integrity not to pry in memes or give himself some justice. he's just a fat guy who acknowledges his own meme and is happy to be widely known.

He ended up having his health really decline with covid to the point he couldn't get out of bed and seems to have lasting effects still. And then just recently he lost his mom. Dude seems to be an all around chill guy.

    This is a fascinating story. I got into hats almost by accident, and had no idea what a fedora was until I ordered a Panama hat. When I wanted a felt version, a hatter recommended a "fedora," and it really fit my face well. The editorials and blog posts (many by intelligent authors) seemed earnest in their concern regarding the types of men whom they felt were the living embodiment of this meme, and had clearly identified and felt uncomfortable around them, either in person or online. And it even captured the attention of mainstream gentleman outlets who provide content on traditional male fashion and behaviours. These men quickly jumped to the fedora's defense, outlining the does and don'ts in regards to hats, face shaping, and wearing and pairing.
    What made me laugh was that Jerry Messing explained that the hat was a tribute to the Blues Brothers, as I have had bandmates tell me that I look like the Blues Brothers when I wear my own fedora. That's a pretty big compliment, and jokingly my response is that my blindness likely leans me more towards Ray from Ray's Music Exchange, the music store where the band rents all their gear. The role was, fittingly enough, played by Ray Charles. Much like Matthew McConaughey and Lincoln, I was wearing fedoras before fedoras were uncool.
    I'm glad that Jerry was un-phased by the meme upon becoming aware of its existence, especially with the 1-2 punch of having grown up as a child star; lord knows we've seen enough tragic stories.

Alex though the layout and design/ premise of the comic was cool so he decided to cosplay one of the sketches in particular where the main character wore a Fedora and big glasses (due to the lack of glasses, he wore sunglasses instead in the picture).

      I used to like wearing fedoras as well. I've always liked hats, but fedoras were the easiest to wear, could be found in a variety of prints, colors, and trims, and they didn't give me hat head quite as bad as other styles. The backlash against women wearing fedoras wasn't as bad as it was against men wearing them, but I got tired of hearing endless shit about wearing them. Now I stick with newsboy style hats or smaller Stetson styles.

      I don’t wear them, but there’s a certain class to a well-dressed man in a flat cap, since the neckbeards haven’t ruined those yet. But there’s gotta be the right style to pull them off. Fedoras too, I guess.
