Nothing to do with you, I can assure you.

Oh no, they wouldn't. It's just the fact that a lot of these people decide to wear a fedora on top of their terrible opinions, you can't deny it creates associations.

Warning - ...

Thanks Gareth!

Oh no, Metope my comment wasn't directed at you at all- I just think the whole thing has been taken a little too far. Way to go, Internet.

I know that not all head gear is appropriate, but some of it is a little more obvious (see pointy white hats and certain colored bandanas). I've personally never come across the Fedora Debacle before and I went to a Fashion School. I'm kind on the same side of this as Method- sometimes a hat is just a hat.

Judging people based on one particular fashion choice seems petty, imo. I mean....is everyone who wears a button down shirt a corporate whore? Is everyone who owns a pair of Uggs a brain dead idiot? They are if you listen to the Internet.

also from the first page of google results for 'fedoras'
(That's generally my knowledge of them as well)

lepetitfromage:
Also, is it possible that these guys are just "trying to be cool" and they think fedoras are cool hats?

Metope:
Oh yeah, some of them are definitely trying to be cool, and this thread has also proved a lot of people aren't aware of the connotations at all, so it's not like everyone who wears a fedora is awful. However I do make assumptions about people based on what they wear and how they present themselves* every day though, and I am sure people do the same with me. If I see a person who is all dressed in black with crazy coloured dyed hair and lots of tattoos, I am going to assume their favourite musician is not Justin Bieber. Everyone signals a little bit about themselves by how they appear, consciously or not.

(*I don't overly judge people though, just wanted to make that clear.)
