Being marked out as terminally unsophisticated is fine by me, I think it feels very specific and personal to be wearing your heart on your sleeve (or chest) for things you actually like, irrespective of whether people make fun of it or not - you're bang on about lack of conviction being behind why people take any roasting of these things so personally or are so quick to dump them (says she with the Baby Yoda t shirt).

love this so much. we shouldn't be embarrassed to be like things and share that with other people!!! i still wear my dev hynes/blood orange t-shirt that i got 8 years ago, even though it has a bleach stain (i should probably retire it). last week, i told a guy that i liked his 'kinds of kindness' t-shirt last week and it turned out he was yorgos lanthimos' cinematographer. merch tells people about who you are and helps you build some wonderful connections and memories <3
