It sounds like you're in agreement with the comment above yours.
The comment seems to be saying they could do better? I sincerely believe this is one of the best novelty t-shirts I have ever seen. I guess I'm maybe looking at this from a different POV?
Idk if you've heard of Krewe du Vieux Carré? Usually just called Krewe du Vieux, or sometimes just affectionately called Krude. It's a Mardi gras Krewe that has a parade every year through the FQ. The point is supposed to be over the top adult humor, and that vibe has always been extended to the quarter in general, especially other neighborhood parades and celebrations.
I would shake my head at someone wearing something like this to the zoo or even an uptown parade, but in context this is like wearing a satirical costume.
The FQ during a parade or festival is one place where you would see a guy in a mustache rides shirt and nobody would judge/think twice bc there's a hundred other dudes in mustache rides shirts or other crude outfits. Fewer women, but it happens occasionally if they are with a bachelorette party. I've seen gay dudes wearing crude shirts, but I cannot recall ever seeing a lesbian in a shirt that somehow openly conveys sexuality and captures the same level of crude. Honestly believe this is kind of a masterpiece and would like to grab drinks with this person bc they look like they would be fun AF to hang out with.
I thought the "you can do better than this" line was directed toward the commenter above them.
That is, the user Ogmios made the original comment about "Mustache rides." Then Catoblepas said "you can do better than this" to Ogmios. You responded to Catoblepas, but it sounds like you intended to respond to Ogmios. That's why I said it sounds like you were in agreement with the comment above yours.
Ahh you're right my bad
It’s cool. We all make mistakes.
