All battle jackets are dorky and should be made fun of, and i own 2.

That is unironically half the fun of wearing one

It’s so fucking funny that people are surprised that subcultures gatekeep. The only thing that makes a subculture a subculture is gatekeeping. You don’t belong to a subculture just because you want to. You have to be acceptable to be accepted. If you want to change things, you don’t believe in the thing, and you are not a part of the thing. You have your own thing. Stop trying to make it my thing, it’s your thing.

It's like Archcast says: Gatekeep or be Gatekept.

the irony and problem w this sub is more that most of the people hating and calling everyone “posers” or whatever are actually posers themselves

I agree and I don‘t own one.

But I have a backpack filled with patches (baddlepack?) and it also sports… a pride flag. Living on the edge.

Absolutely. The idea there's some kind of officially approved way to wear a jacket with all your favourite things stuck onto it is ludicrous. Battle jackets are sad whatever form they take, that's part of the fun
