View submission: Disagreement in /r/xkcd after Randall fires shots through the friendzone
For sure but it'd more like "Those guys look really creepy and weird" in general rather than "Oh god are they wearing fedoras? What neck beards!"

It's not so much "Oh god are they wearing fedoras? What neck beards!" it's more like "Those guys look really creepy and weird, and they happen to wear fedoras." It's not the hat, it's the types of people that wear the hat.

I think the phrase "wears a fedora" has become an internet shorthand for "that guy is socially maladjusted and creepy." It's not so much that people care about the hat as it is that people who wear fedoras are overwhelmingly socially maladjusted and creepy.
