In contrast, wearing a stetson and talking like a pirate does pair appropriately with a katana.

Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Fun fact: the British and dutch east India companies really did have katana wielding mercenaries¹ doing a shit ton of their dirty work.
¹former samurai who didnt go home after Tokugawa threw them at Korea, knowing Japan was no longer a place they could live their absolute-24-7-war-fucker lifestyle
Is a Stetson a fedora though? Idts
But they don’t even wear fedoras. They’re a tribly. They should be in jazz clubs.
But they might see a black person there!
Stop looking like a jazz nerd then!
They're straight cis white men! H9w dare you tell them there's a place not for them! You're worse than Hitler! The fact people like you exists means Hitler is necessary! shaves head, tattoos swastika on own face
If you were rude you would say see here dame. If you were a “nice guy” you would probably say ma’am or miss.
My attempt at an actual answer is that they just generally cannot consolidate details, elements, into a broadly coherent, consistent, larger concept.
They're all bottom up (deductive), but no top down (inferential) thinking, its why they are so often astounding hypocrites, why they are generally dysfunctional at anything other than very specific niches of well-defined tasks, why they are so obsessed with minutiae.
They can't consolidate, harmonize, synergize, prioritize.
And the ability to do those things is essential to the construction of a definable, coherent style.
To them, the sum is simply equal to the sum of its parts, the idea that that sum could actually be more or less, due to complimentary or detrimental relations between ingredients to a recipe... that idea is almost nonsensical to them.
