It's so much of a trope, even the internet has embraced it.

It seems the outliers, the goons, the nerds, the outcasts are you heroes.

As long as they don't trip on them, that is. Then, who gives a gently caress?

Enfield, person of whom I hold some respect to...

Yes.

I have.

Of course I have.

I say this without any sort of restraint. Never let another human hold you back. Regardless of past circumstances.

Every dorky American boy must go through a phase where he tries to pull off a duster or a trenchcoat. If he succeeds and realizes it will never loving work, he has become a man.

I love my dumbass coat. Then again I also paired it with a cowboy hat and did field work with it, so duster was a fitting name.

The oilskin versions are great raincoats. Wish they had a hood though.

I remember finding a dumb highlander forum back around 1997, the owner of the site said he wore his trench coat with lead weights sewn in the bottom hem so he could spin around in a circle and harm potential attackers. Seems legit.

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

Oh those poor nerds they dont understand, the duster, trench coat, fedora, lizard hair cut, accordion, katana sword, magic powers, Bicep Tattoo. didnt make their favorite hero cool he was all cool because he was a work of fiction.

Being a fat neck beard is a real negative, and just slapping on the trappings of your hero wont fix it.

Man if they weren't bullied I really feel like they shouldn't have murdered a bunch of children. All this time I thought they were somewhat justified in shooting down children and killing them, but if it turns out that they just had ADHD and were not in fact victims of teasing, I definitely no longer support their murder rampage.

Never forget the time Drew Carey had an entire episode dedicated to him wearing one of those, but also had a ribbon on his dick and went on a date with some lady dressed like that. I'm not sure if he was a satire about molesters or what. But I'm pretty sure the episode ended with him getting laid. So it seems like the math works out here.

Me, thinking that the columbine murderes were called nasty names by jocks in gym: Well I guess it's understandable that they gunned down dozens of little boys and girls and murdered them and took them from their parents

Me, having learned that the columbine murderers just had ADHD: man those guys were fucksticks..

Forget about the motivations of the Columbine shooters for a sec. What about the perpetrators of the anti-trench coat agenda that have falsely linked the wearing of trench coats to that heinous crime? Will they stop at nothing to take our trench coats away from us?
