Apparently all the rage for "men" this summer.

Remember when men were men? Now they're wearing onesies in public.

I think they are trying to make it happen but it isn't going to happen.

I can envision a small percentage of men in urban areas wearing one, but then a small percentage of them get their asses kicked and/or mocked mercilessly. Cities are full of anger and violence.

Men everywhere outside of cities will be mocked mercilessly.

So no. Not happening.

They know there will be push back and rejection of this product. Notice how from different angles it looks like a shirt tucked into shorts with a belt?

If you have to disguise your product because people will be embarrassed to wear it, then you probably shouldn't be making that product.

There will be Romper parties in colleges. It'll just replace togas or whatever other themed costume people wear. You can probably even get laid wearing a Romper at those parties. But not like that was going to be a problem anyway.

Outside of that, not seeing heavy usage.

People with diaper fetishes also get laid sometimes.

Wtf-ever. I dare someone to walk around today wearing a tunic or toga like the Romans. Need I remind you of how retardedly Asian nobility dressed for most of their history?

Hmm, on the other hand...
"We were sitting around over drinks one evening and got to talking about the men’s clothing options out there," reads the origin story on the company's Kickstarter page. "Everything was either too corporate … too fratty … too “runway” … or too basic. Something was missing."
1) Maybe it was missing for a reason.
2) "Something" appears to be "a visible way of telling society you've been castrated."
3) Nothing in that statement is anything that should be the subject of conversation over drinks.

"Agree with us or you're the bigot."

Can't argue with that logic.

I've been called far worse than intolerant. It's not inherently bad.
