I added the Starcraft tag, as "Kikkuk222" videos (which this is a reference of) usually references. I never played the game but from his videos the scream at the end seens to be a unit death or something.

And I already said that I think they look bad. And I think I'm right about that, because I sure don't see a lot of people wearing such tiny hats, neither for daily use or special occasions. Of course nobody wears them, they look silly.

I never said I HATE tiny hats, I just dislike them. Don't put words in my mouth. How can an opinion about aesthetics be "irrational"? And how is this overreaction against me simply disliking the small hats not a lot more irrational? What's so wrong with disliking tiny hats?

Man, just take the L and go away already. Nobody was responding because everyone is tired of you. In case it's not clear to you, you're getting downvoted because of the negativity and bad manners. It's generally considered bad form to bad mouth other people or cultures.

You are right that these mini hat and mini caps are not worn daily. But people do wear them as a decorative piece of clothing in certain kind of fashions. A common usage is when they are used in performances, like in Takarazuka.
Point is, your opinion is not the only opinion and thus even if it's right to you, it's not objectively correct because there are actual people thinking the other way. Opinion about aesthetics being "irrational" is something keep happening again and again through time, and Marie Antoinette is the embodiment of said "irrationality" in her time, but she did make a lot of change to perception to aesthetics and beauty. So you not being fond of mini hats is normal, but other people being fond of it should not be "irrational" either. It might be a whole culture/sub-culture you did not know or understand there.
Lastly, you seems to be dismissal of mini hats, but you did not even prove how right you are and only claim to be right. That's not how you do arguments. Just saying. That's the thing made me write this over an hour finding the relevant example and mincing my words so they are not affected by the annoyance I got from your comments.
At least try to be a proper person man. That should get you more sympathizers than not.

... Mmmno, I don't feel like it. Might be the way you talk to me inspires spite.

Really didn't take much, especially considering how much you seem to care.

Are you serious? If I say the giant, furry hats the English royal guards wear look silly, now I'm suddenly badmouthing the entire English culture? Can we not be a little more nuanced than that? And people? When did I say someone is a bad person for liking stupid-looking hats? Again, nuance. It is in fact YOU guys who are saying that I'm a bad person for disliking some hats. FFS, people. I'm "bad-mouthing" some hats, it's really should not be such a big deal.

Why do you think this needs to be explained? If someone says they don't like chili hotdogs, do you start telling them off for having an opinion that's contrary to all the chili hotdog enjoyers? Of course I know my opinion isn't objective metaphysical truth, but sometimes I just want to express my opinions without prefacing them with disclaimers like "in my opinion", "in general but not in all outlying cases", or "I know the universe is an absurd, random dance of dust and objective truth is impossible, but I FEEL like..." because honestly this should all go without saying, at least after we've all heard and said it the first hundred times.

Yes yes yes, everything is subjective. But someone claiming to enjoy eating broken glass doesn't mean broken glass is proper food - we can surely agree on this if we just put our figurative feet on the ground and our heads out of the philosophical clouds. And if you have a hat whose form does not fit any purpose but decoration, and is almost exclusively worn by niche fashion enthusiasts or those who're several centuries in the past, a hat which if worn by the average child would see them mercilessly mocked and bullied, then it's probably because most people find that they look silly. I'm not saying that popular opinion defines truth, but if most people can agree - as I think they do out of the internet - that tiny hats look silly, then I think it's reasonable to say, in a not-so-strictly philosophical manner, but for all practical intents, that they look silly.
Lastly, you seems to be dismissal of mini hats, but you did not even prove how right you are and only claim to be right.
Well yeah, as we've agreed, this is not something that can be proven as such. I won't claim to have ever proven my case, only argued for it, just like you've not proven that these hats don't look silly, you've simply argued your case. And arguing is absolutely how you "do arguments", lots of things can be argued for and against forever without anything ever being proven. Like philosophy.
At least try to be a proper person man.
Aaaaand here we are again. How in the actual fuck does me saying I think tiny hats look silly make me an "improper person"? I think it says much more about you that you would make such drastic judgements about someone for saying something so innocuous.
It's just a silly hat, people. I'd prefer it wasn't in the picture, but I'd even more prefer that you guys get some perspective.
