What about that placement makes it cool without socks exactly? It's just a shitty ankle tat, nothing special about the placement other than the fact that you can tell they only got it there because it would be easy to cover up

[–] Xmaximus10@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Maybe it symbolises them changing their ways after being racist in the past, hence throwing it away? I can’t say it looks particularly great but it could mean more to the person themselves. Just speculation

edit: coming back I realise you are focusing on the placement, so apologies if my reply is out of place. Though I’m going to leave the comment anyway

Reminds me of when I used to go to punk shows and seeing everyone with anti-nazi badges that had a swastika crossed out but in the dark it just looked like a normal swastika

IT WAS EARTH ALL ALONG!!

It bothers me that the representation of the trash is larger than the opening of the waste bin.

[–] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

We’re gonna need a bigger bin

[–] KIM_JONG_JUICEBOX@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

It would be easily covered up by a semi truck.

Imagine disliking F1 races so much that you tattoo your feelings about it

[–] onlinely@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean have you been watching this season? Outside of today it’s been absolute shite.

[–] Omgarm@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

No it hasn't. You just need to watch anything besides Max. P2-P20 is where the battles are.

[–] Deiv@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't get it, how does it relate to F1?

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Surely racism must be something about racing cars /s

[–] Deiv@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Any examples/sources? Haven't seen anything about it

[–] Takumidesh@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Every driver is a racist, that's their job, car racists.

[–] ultrasquid@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Its a play on words. They race cars, so they're racists.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wear socks on the days you're feeling racist and no socks when you're not feeling racist.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do that anyway but without the tattoo

[–] jscummy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Socks = racist? Lot more racists out there than I thought

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

"I swear I'm not racist, look under my socks!"

[–] BruceLee@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't get it. Why not simply wear pants the normal length ?

[–] ArcticLynx@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

because if they did this, no one would know how much of a heckin good person they are having a tattoo against racism. the tattoo would be essentially useless.

[–] ech0@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I mean it doesn't matter. The issue would still be there if they were wearing shorts and socks.

[–] NaoPb@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

I don't see an issue here. /s

"I think I shall wear my racist socks this evening."

"It's your prerogative, sir."

"Yes... It is."

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

arm needs to be tilted up a little bit more

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ah my favorite saying, "throw racism in the trash." Wicked bru.
