The hats are fine; it's what they've come to represent that's the problem. Fedoras are associated with misogynists, Reddit users, Incels, and people who believe in the "friend zone." I like to believe I'm neither of those things. And while I ultimately would rather hats not be used as judgement of character, I can't see that word without cringing inside anymore.
