Would you ever wear a Pikachu hoodie?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

As mentioned elsewhere, I saw a guy at work doing so yesterday, and considering that every female there also raved about how cute it was, I think I see why he did. And then later some other guy drew a Pokeball on some crumpled paper and threw it at him.

[Lambsbread]

no never

[Kitteh]

Absolutely.

[Paul Kemp]

No, I'm not a super ironic dickhead or a gamer.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Absolutely.

[Simfan34]

Hit them with a stick.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

If it was universally recognized as a symbol of the popular revolution, then yes.

[Sopranos Republican]

Hit them with a stick.

[Redalgo]

No - that article of clothing in question is braving a perilous no-man's land betwixt the safe realm of conventional attire and fursuit territory.

As a compromise however I would wear a modified ushanka in the likeness of a Raichu.

[dead0man]

no


well, not out in public.  I'd wear pretty much anything if I thought I could get a laugh out of it.

[Napoleon]

No (normal).

[John Dibble]

Situationally. I wouldn't do it in normal situations, but if I was at a convention or something like that where other people are in costume I wouldn't mind doing it.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

Nah, I'm not really into Pokémon.

Even if I were, that thing is a bit … obnoxious.

Isn't it unfortunate how a BRTD thread can be detected merely by the ludicrousness of its premise?

Pretty sure you'd quickly get your a$$ kicked for wearing that in Memphis. Even if you're a girl.

What if it was Halloween?

It's be ok if you are under the age of seven or so.

Well it's an adult-sized hoodie....

Memphis sounds pretty awful if this is true.

We do have several SciFi/Fantasy/whatever Cons every year where it would not be abnormal at all. I wouldn't recommend walking down the street in one though. Not that people walk down the street much anyway.

One of the two main ghettos in Minneapolis is between me and Target, so I go through there all the time. There's always people on the street and having fun. People in Memphis are either wusses or it's just awful overall.

I think it's awesome.

[Boris]

I think the concept works a lot better with "cute" (but not necessarily "hot") girls than it does with guys.

Memphis is just not very walkable. You invariably need a car to get from here to there. I do walk every now and then but it's just for recreation. I find it relaxing and often can't sit still. You do see poors, usually but not always blacks, waiting for a bus on a major street. But they're a tough crowd and I guarantee you they are not going to be wearing a Pokeman hoodie.

Memphis is seriously less walkable than Minneapolis in February?

Your winters and our summers cancel each other out. Both are intolerable. More to the point, Minneapolis has about 7k people/sq mi. Memphis has about 2k people/sq  mi. That makes a difference.
