Military worshippers. Tacticool cosplay. Currently employed in large numbers by ICE.
Yeah I think this wins.
Saw a guy in the airport with a freaking tactical baby carrier. Ultimate poser move.
What even is that?
Oh, it’s simply something for men who are super worried about other men thinking they’re manly enough. They think having a child makes them weak, and so they have to macho it up to super prove to other men that just because they’re… tough? Super manly tough. Like really macho awesome bicep manly.
I mean what makes a baby carrier “tactical”? Being black, tan, or camouflage fabric? A lot of loops?
Tan military style coloring, padding simulating “armor”, tactical bulky pockets mimicking pockets on military gear, it was pretty obvious if you saw it.
I looked up
tactical baby carrier
and they really do not look all that different than when I look up
baby carrier
Granted, I’m not into fashion or anything. I would have no problem using either of these.
Your first one is this one: https://tacticalbabygear.com/products/tactical-baby-carrier, which looks maybe like it, but in the “Coyote Brown”, but I swear the one I saw had big tacticool pockets on it

Telling your child almost immediately after birth that you’re embarrassed to be seen carrying/being around them. Not a great look for a new dad.
Okay, was there a baby in it (or at least nearby)? Style, even if bad taste is one thing, but if they were using that as gear, that’s a whole different story
Meal team 6 reporting for duty sir!
Is the valor thief not a bigger fan of the military than the Kyle & the Jodie, ultimately, the better lover to the Jodie?
Music. Most music fans can barely even play an instrument themselves
Eh, as a player myself, i differentiate between listening mode and playing mode, but both are totally valid ways to be a fan of music.
Deep listening, dancing, ect is almost more fulfilling as a music fan personally than playing but to each their own.
Dating myself a bit, but fans of Rent back in the day. When it was super popular, everyone was pretending to be into theatre. These people only knew Rent and Phantom and phantom is objectively terrible.
The finals of major sports. Zero fucks given for the entire season, but that last game/series has everyone invested in the outcome.

Many have pointed out that the point of fandom is to be a fan of the fandom & to have conversations on rails. In that sense I don’t think the distinction is meaningful. You’re supposed to rant at your loved ones & friends about shit they hardly understand & vice versa. Not just endlessly recite confirnation you have the same interests to other “fans”.
