    It’s disrespectful to the people who set it up and to everyone else who is there to have a nice evening. Im not big on wrestling formal attire but I got invited to see the nutcracker at the symphony so I put on a nice sweater. Imagine you invite someone to a wedding and they show up like that, you’re gonna say that’s not disrespect I mean if you don’t find dressing like that to a black tie event disrespectful that’s just a reflection on you

      It’s disrespectful to the people who set it up and to everyone else who is there to have a nice evening.

      How

      I mean if you don’t find dressing like that to a black tie event disrespectful that’s just a reflection on you

      How

      I’m begging you, explain how it’s disrespectful. I don’t think you can, because I think you agree with me that it isn’t actually disrespectful.

        I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s offensive, but I can agree it’s disrespectful. Respect is shown by the lengths someone goes through to demonstrate someone/ something is important and held in high regard.

        Examples:

        When you are talking to someone you respect, you demonstrate it by making a point to convey that you are listening to them and thinking about what they are saying.

        When a tragedy happens, we often show respect by holding a moment of silence where we interrupt whatever we are doing to hold a moment to think about the victims.

        Similarly, a traditional way of demonstrating respect for people’s contributions in a given field is through an awards ceremony where attendees both given their attention and dress in formal attire to mark the significance and importance of the event.

        It’s not my job to educate you or teach you manners or how to live in a society. How can I explain all that in a chat reply when you’re clearly ignorant and weren’t raised right. I can’t fix you dude

          If you understood how it’s disrespectful, it wouldn’t be hard to explain. Here’s an example:

          Sexual assault is disrespectful because it violates a person’s bodily autonomy, which is a fundamental human right.

          See? Easy. Now, try that for “people who dress wrong”.

          The community is selectively bred Redditors, fam. We’re just lucky they ban the obvious racism here.

          Just pop your head into the threads about how showers are a scam or whatever and keep it in mind whenever you’re talking to them
