If it was socially acceptable, would you wear a cape or cloak?

Finally, a worthwhile discussion topic in the GDF

You couldn't ****ing stop me from wearing either a cape or cloak

But Batman looks like a d-bag.

Shots fired

Everybody used to wear capes and cloaks at the old Pirate Days in Seattle. Ah the good old days of drunken pillaging.

A cape would be an incredible inconvenience. It would make it difficult to sit down, if it's caught in the wind it might blow into someone's ice cream and that's not bringing up the dangerous stuff like elevator doors or escalators.

Who knows?

You can't really "imagine" social proof issues. Depends on who's wearing them, and why. And where "I" am in my life at that point relative to the mainstream (As in, do I even care about following the trend?)

But right now, no way.

They need to bring back hats like they used to wear in the 40's.

And pipe smoking.

Or even just smoking. I smoke cigars, and it s basically the most socially unacceptable thing in my side of the US (Seriously, I think racists get less flack then smokers these days..)

Could put weights at the ends up the cape, keep it from blowing into someone's ice-cream and doubles as a striking weapon. I think Batman has done this.

That's why we need Batman cloaks that can switch from flexible to rigid.

"The material was made using a silver-gold alloy that underwent a corrosion process to remove the silver and form a gold structure containing a network of nanopores 10-20nm in size."

And you thought carbon-fiber bikes were expensive.

But that would make it really hard to Strike a Pose when the wind picks up.

Sacrifices have to be made

Couldn't we just count all those killed in the Cape/Escalator Accidents as the "sacrifices"?

I sure know I count all the babies I "accidentally" pushed down a flight of escalators as sacrifices.

Yes
