The person wearing will have penis privileges

Very. But if you care about being "cringe", you clearly don't understand the work.

>>15863668
Most people won’t get it.
The people who know of Hegel may get a kick out of the display of cultural information about you, the type of person who also knows of Hegel.
The people who’ve read Hegel will pretend they haven’t around you.

>>15863668
This is fucking hilarious

I can already hear the panties dropping, OP. Go for it.

>>15863668
Funny, though if I saw someone wearing this in real life I'd certainly ignore them.

>>15863668
super turbo cringe

Idk if you would be an autist or some overly post ironic dork. Either way I will be avoiding you

>>15863668
The only people who would think it was cringe are the 4chan fags you’d be trying to impress. Except maybe the odd Phil student, so you might want to be prepared to act like you have read it and didn’t just hear about it on 4chan

>>15863668
it would be kinda funny

>>15863668
extremely cringe

>>15863668
aesthetically it is a nice shirt though

Hmmm

The last book you read is now your tshirt. Would you go out in public? How many would be wearing the same shirt from middle school?

Where can I buy this lol

I just finished the Hobbit. I guess I have to accept my status as cringe nerd boy for the rest of my life.

>>15863822
it would be much more based if he barely knew who Hegel was and thought he was an Ancient Greek or something

>>15864005
>Demons
Yeah, I'd wear it

>>15863716
no, the people who know what it is will think you are a cringy tryhard pseud, and those that dont will think its some hipster German bands album cover.

>>15863668
Naturally not, all educated people nowadays should wear a shirt like that.

>>15864005
>Motorman
yes

I used to have a Moby Dick sweater. I wore that thing everywhere.
Then some drunk asshole tried to start shit and ripped it.

>>15863757
Why?
t. never read it

>>15863668
Yes. However, that cover design is great.

>>15864197
>some hipster German bands album cover
They wouldn't be too far off

>>15864005
>Ovid's Metamorphoses
I think people would just assume I'm a metalhead or something.

I like Hegel and would love to talk about him but I'd assume anyone wearing that is a hipster fag college student rather than a nice autistic man who wants to chat about Hegel. Like the kind of person who uses left-wing Facebook meme groups.

If I could know for sure you're a nice autist though I would try to talk to you. I wish we all wore shirts with things we love on them. I like to wear shirts with different animals I like on them so people will talk to me about them.

>>15865228
>t. friendly neighborhood penguin shirt autist :)

It's an ugly cover with (what I've heard, but my copy's not in English) a bad translation.

>>15865228
>I wish we all wore shirts with things we love on them. I like to wear shirts with different animals I like on them so people will talk to me about them.
That's fucking adorable.

>>15865220
Funeral Mist has a great song called Metamorphosis.

>>15864162
Wait, isn't Hegel that boss from NieR: Automata?

>>15864005
Would actually be a very cool shirt

Persecution? Not what I want to project, though maybe a few esoteric rightists would start a convo.

fedora optional

>>15864000
Shit tier hobgoblin feet

I haven't read Hegel in a long time. Putting aside the historical theories, what was it all about? I seem to remember that the key (to having a nice life) was wrapping up you being with an ethos and acknowledging or embracing a particular set of Sitten. Am I wrong?

>>15865228
>like to wear shirts with different animals I like on them so people will talk to me about them.
This is nice anon! I might start to do the same to bring some joy!

>>15863668
cringen't

>>15866415
so Hegel wants you to sit?

>>15863668
It’s like a signal for your virginity, a symbol of your purity and autism.

>>15866590
No. As indicated by the capital 'S', I was referring to the plural noun Sitten, German for customs or societal mores. Though I am sure he wants me to sit while reading that tome of his. I am not an autist, but I play one on the internet.

>>15864000
Checked. Ugly feet tho.
>>15864005
>Stoner
Yeah I would.
>>15866101
Cool, it would fit on an art hoe shirt.

>>15863668
It’s cringe to wear any printed t, very cringe and very modern personality-less consumer in appearance. The level of pretentious it is to wear a print that references an important philosophical work that you probably haven’t read makes it extra cringe. Wearing a printed t shirt of a pop culture reference is the easiest indicator that someone is unoriginal, uncool, and uninteresting

>>15864000
To all you people that like to say "have sex" or "incel" when any negative aspect of women is discussed, let me refer you to this image.
Instead of contemplating what she has just read, comparing it with other philosophy, writing about it, applying it to anything (of course, this is based on the false-assumption that she has read it at all), she decides to take a picture of her feet, on top of the book, painting her feet to demonstrate how she "loves" the author.
This is perfect kind of display of the shallow attachment to practically every facet of traditionally-male interests that we are forced to silently endure; for fear that any response other than "girl power" will be shouted down with "have sex incel".

>>15863668
If a store randomly sold that, on an ironic whim, I might be tempted to buy it, if it was cheap, and I could at least amuse myself with the absurdity.
But to actively order that, likely custom and expensive shirt off the internet and wait for it to wear it because you love hegel or philosophy in general is probably the most pathetic thing I could imagine.

>>15863668
>wearing the PoS rather than just dressing like this

>>15867383
Absolutely based

>>15863668
only cringe if you are anorexic/look like a snoyak, that's a high test tee

>>15867320
Is it cringe to wear band shirts

>>15867641
Only if the band sucks.

>>15867641
Not if it's all Burzum tops.

>>15864005
peloponnesian war. plain cover

>>15864005
I imagine I would get a lot of "Whoa! You like history too?!" if I wore this in public. I imagine that any poor pop history nerd that attempts to open this book will be meet with an extremely uncomfortable confrontation that history books are an intellectual shovel to the face.

I think I can go out in public just fine

>>15864005
great expectations, i would go out in public only if i could pick a less shitty cover than the version i have.
desu i wouldn't be embarrassed to wear it, there are probably less than 1000 people who have read the whole thing in my generation.

where can i buy

That's fucking awesome and I'd wear it even though I haven't read Hegel.

>>15870705
Yeah me 2

>>15870443
>Fuck off Chad, attractive people are almost always brainlet reductionists

Because the truth is evident, it's just that spiritually and physically repulsive people like to try and explain it away in overly convoluted and intricate ways while knowing all along that what they're saying is nonsense. This is why they get so angry.

>>15868732
I unironically wear this shirt all the time. I've only had one person know what it was a reference to and say anything to me though.

I made this for fun and posted it on redbubble. two randos actually bought a hoodie and a shirt with this print. lmao

>>15864005
I'd be wearing two "Count of Monte Cristo" shirts because i picked it up and finished it again a few months after finishing the first time

>>15870780
what would you say to someone in that shirt

"KEK, up high"

?

>>15870780
