Actually kind of looks cool if you are into military gear… what’s the big deal.
Dad’s are awesome
Yeah, it looks like it’s got a lot od straps to make it easy to adjust and ir looks better then the stupid fucking colors of other baby carriers. The wide shoulder straps look comfortable too
When baby starts crying you say, “toughen up soldier!” In a soft military drill sergeant voice.
“No free rides!” You whisper as you wipe the drool from baby’s lips, “you got to earn your keep around here,” you whisper.
Is it okay to say I like the color and it looks more comfortable then the other carriers I have seen?
Kevlar for your baby seems like a good idea in the US
That’s cool as hell lol, I wish I had these when I needed them.
The meme potential alone would have me rocking them all day.
Gender affirming care.
I support this, but most of these assholes would be mad at me calling it this
That’s exactly what it is.
I don’t remember the exact stat but it’s like 90% of gender affirming care is for a person’s birth sex. Ie. Hair growth, penial enhancement be it chemical or surgical( I think that quack got shut down though), estrogen for women test for men, gave muscles, fake asses/tits.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in my local birthing center’s new parent training, and I’ve been involved in numerous home diaper changes, and I have over 300 confirmed formula bottles. I am trained in gorilla binkies and I’m the top “got your nose” player in the entire US playground system. You are nothing to me but just another babysitter. I will put your baby the fuck to naptime with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of nannies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your diaper genie. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can change your diaper in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in one-armed baby wipe retrieval, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the American Association of Pediatrics and I will use it to its full extent to wipe the miserable shit off your baby’s butthole, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
Props.
NGL as a dad myself, I would be far more likely to make fun of this guy and his tacticool diaper bag than any dad carrying around the girliest bag their wife obviously picked out. It’s way cooler to not give a shit what other people think of your child raising accessories.
Also, it looks like he is wearing his child as a tiny human shield. Squishy plate carrier.

And people are calling the guy in the OP image fragile…
The baby carrier and bag my wife got do not fit on me. The “mens” ones all look like this, so I had no choice.
On a related note, I find most of the bags marketed towards women focus more on aesthetics than usefulness and have poor functional design all over the place. These “tactical” bags tend to focus on functionality, which is a big plus IMO.
Diaper bag on Amazon literally listed as “for women” has more functionality that that side bag. They don’t make Molle pouches for wipe dispensers like that side pouch this one has. Most of the 1st 20 results are the same level of ‘functionality’ - I don’t doubt that some women’s bags are more about aesthetics but this is literally advertising the aesthetic of the bag to men over function. Is there a diaper changing mat included with that tactical bag?
It looks cool, I’d use it! When you start making fun of me I’d just shrug and carry on, because I don’t care what judgements some weirdo makes about my accessories.
Right? If you like it, you do you. It’s shitty to criticize someone for liking a certain style.
Shocked we didn’t see Elon wearing one of these with his
human shieldchildMy wife is also not completely selfish and realises I’m also gonna be using these items so we pick something neutral.
No, men are not ok.
I’m a woman, but I feel like if I were a man I’d be offended by the fact that large swathes of America seem to think that manhood and the military and its aesthetics are the same thing.
Like, men can have other jobs. I’ve known men who are accountants and scientists and even healthcare workers and educators. I’ve known men who are pacifists and anti war activists. Hell men can even have other interests that are culturally associated with their gender. You could do sports themed baby bags, or “fun things culturally associated with kids doing with dad” ones, or even barely change the aesthetic but make it astronaut themed.
Like, I worry that this increasing association between masculinity and the military is being done on purpose in an attempt to prime young men to go lose parts of their bodies and minds in foreign countries, and I’m reminded of the cultural buildup to the first world war
Sometimes I’ll get an ad for something like a “tactical windbreaker” or “tactical cargo pants” and I panic and think “what have I done that the surveillance state thinks I want this?!”
Until I saw some of these ads I never considered a windbreaker could even be tactical or whatever the alternative is, strategic? Am I wearing strategic pants because they aren’t tactical?
The widespread presence of your very cool tactical pants among the broader population is a strategic advantage. Or something.
If they’re camo they’re tactical, if they’re black they’re strategic, and if it doesn’t have a place to holster a gun then it’s just women’s clothing. If you don’t have a quick pull holster in your baby carrier with five extra magazines and a flash bang then the terrorists have already won. Freedom isn’t free, or something like that.
got a lot of this guy, he’s never heard of the tactleneck in slightly darker black
I say this literally wearing a pair of Underarmor Cargo pants - things marketed as tactical are cringe. I keep an Arktis pack jacket in my car in case of rain alongside an e-tool.
Anyone who can’t stand to carry the Minnie Mouse shoulder bag full of diapers is a total loser. If you buy anything ‘tactical’ to assert your ‘manhood’ you only further prove it only took you 20 seconds to do your part of the work for making the baby.
the kid doesn’t even get their own holster? WTF is the kid supposed to do with it’s gun?
Kid is riding shotgun he better have that pistol at the low ready, watching my six. Holster? You trying to get me shot?
It’s good advertising is what it is.
They know there are millions of underdeveloped, insecure men out there that need to feel like they aren’t the little bitches they actually are.
Here’s the sad thing dawg. I love the tacticool aesthetic. I love the feel of the material and I love patches. But the entire industry is propped up and advertised for these “I am a manly man man who man’s harder than women and other men” and that’s so sad. It’s an aesthetic ruined by the culture it belongs to.
Call of doody
So much marketing is directed towards men set on convincing others they’re not gay
Which in itself is kinda gay lol
Not that there’s anything wrong with that
Wow a recent Seinfeld reference - nice!
That reference is old enough that Seinfeld himself wouldn’t date it.
I think all Seinfeld references are right about there now.
Laugh it up, funny boy. I know that even my six month old gets called up and sent to Afghanistan I’ll be ready and you won’t.
Good idea let’s push men out of the parental roles we said they had to take up while simultaneously still expecting them to pull the trad bread winner roles.
Jesus Christ these men are so insecure
