The thing is I've found that in real life your average person has absolutely no problems with fedoras, at least in my experience. It seems be something that people who spend a lot of time on the Internet hate ironically. I mean I never had a problem with them until I started spending a lot of time on reddit.

I also have never seen someone wear a fedora in real life. Is it more prevalent in the US?

Because in the end not many of us live near college towns or wherever people wear t-shirts and cargo shorts and fedoras.

Literally my only exposure to fedoras IRL were old people like this:

I doubt average people have "no problem" with this:

Real-life people haven't had enough experience with the subcategory of people "guys who wear fedoras and/or other hats which they think are fedoras in the years 2008-2014" to have developed a stereotype about them yet.
