To me, it looks more like social camoflauge. "I'm just a normal guy, i have normal opinions, trust me bro" is the vibe I get. I get putting it on for things like work, but if you decide to blend in as your preferred look, ehh, i dunno, maybe I'd rather hang out with the bear, you know?

It's a fucking haircut. You sure are reading a lot into a person based on their haircut.

i'm probably in the minority w this, but blending in is comfortable as hell, as someone who doesn't really enjoy being social.

Long after the pandemic was under control I was still using a mask, partly due to health concerns back home, but mostly because with a mask, cap, and glasses, I could walk by people I know but would rather not strike up conversation.
