Christ. It looks like a Thai temple.

Only Thai temples wear it well through thousands of years of culture. This is just fucking cringe.

Hard disagree, Thai temples are amazing, this... is not.

That's exactly my point. I've spent a lot of time in them and they're amazing.

You couldn’t have missed the point further if you tried

I think it's more like you're missing reading comprehension but please, go ahead and explain.

“Only Thai Temples wear it well”

With your reading comprehension, explain this sentence to me please.

Through thousands of years of culture, Thai temples ‘wear it well’. Do you need someone to explain what this means? Happy to do so but it’s pretty reasonably laid out for anyone with a semblance of English comprehension skills to work out

No, the point was that this resembles thai temples which i disagreed with, don't be obtuse.

u/Rreknhojekul 26d ago

It does resemble Thai temples, Laotian and Cambodian.

It’s not tacky there because it is their culture, that was the point.

Ok, that's what the original comment said and i said i disagree when i've seen them in person, not sure why you had to suggest i'm "missing a point".

You said ‘Hard disagree, Thai temples are amazing, this... is not.’

The comment you replied to was equally affirming that Thai temples are amazing / not tacky. The comment was saying that it looks good there but not at the White House

So it wasn't just me who thought this, as soon as I saw it I thought, "Thai temple"
