This is a genuine worry of mine...

Edit: to clarify (apparently...), that I look like one, not that everyone who looks like that is a Fascist...

We love our scary looking friends o7

Thank you! Sincerely! I love you, too! And I hope that I'm at least twice as scary to the actual Fascists...

Friggin' hate that this particular style has been co-opted by assholes, I just like dressing in all black and wearing a buzz cut. Makes me feel comfortable in my own skin.

me too brother, ive just accepted at this point that I look like a fascist. ive heard it can be mitigated if you do some little accessorizing like black nail polish or piercings, but I'm not sure those are styles I'm ready to embrace yet (I am extremely self conscious)

I hear you on the self-consciousness bit, it's why I started wearing the buzz cut... Used to have a glorious ginger/auburn mane, then my 30s started moving everything downstairs. Can only take solace in that I have a Picard head, so I wear it proudly.

As far as accessorising, already have three loops in my left ear and do occasionally paint my left hand's fingertips black for the hell of it. Unfortunately, my face looks like it could plow through concrete for a living, so... yeah...
