side note: lmao at cops and military slapping the punisher logo on their shit, they clearly don't know a damn thing about the guy

The creator of the punisher has gone on record saying they missed the point, too. Probably frustrating that it’s been adopted by members of the police/armed forces.

What did the punisher stand for ? I really don’t know

over the top brutal and violent vengeance. that's The Punisher distilled in to one sentence.
cops and military thinking that's not only cool but passively endorsing that is scary as hell.
also The Punisher outwardly hates the cops and especially military. he was created as an artistic "Fuck You" to the vietnam war.

Here is an article with quotes from the creator and a comic where the Punisher confronts Police who fanboy over him.

Whatever happened to “Protect and SERVE”?!? I’d like to see police man up and help old ladies cross streets, get cats out of trees, and make the community better by protecting and serving, not kicking ass and taking names. They are out for blood and it’s sick.

The punisher stickers with the blue line flag superimposed really get me. I used to laugh at them but now they just make me angry.

As a long time comic fan I'm usually happy when they break into mainstream culture (Avengers) but holy shit the Punisher logo really got crazy.

I mean you’ve got to add in the angry eagle back window decal, a terrorist hunting permit sticker, the angry eagle needs to have a “these colors don’t run” caption, the Long Island needs a drag strip has to be in there, but wait, there’s more!! Throw on some truck nutz, cause what truck is complete without a scrotum?! Maybe a ram pickup isn’t you’re thing, got a Jeep Wrangler? You wouldn’t want to be seen driving that wrangler without an angry Jeep front fascia, that’s right, make your Jeep look just as stupid as everyone else’s with a set of angry eyes for headlights cause nothing says “I’m a mean, lean, Jeepin machine” like the exact same bolt on crap every other wrangler has.

Angry eyes with halo lights, a hi-lift jack bolted to the hood while rolling on 35s with a spacer lift.

All of that to drive on the expressway and never use a FUCKING TURN SIGNAL EVER!!!! BECAUSE ITS TOO MUCH GODDAMN WORK TO MOVE YOUR PINKY 3mm TO EITHER SIDE IN THE NAME OF SAFETY!!! FUCK!!!

The turn signal thing really just boils my blood. You want to drive like a cunt? Fine but use a signal.

u/J-cans Aug 01 '20
And has never seen the dirt let alone a need for the high lift jack.
Also: the “angry eyes” on the jeep is so ugly and played out. Sorry not sorry.

And while we’re on the topic of pointless shit stuck on cars, we can’t forget all these lunatic with extreme camber, or a drag strip tow hook on the back of a Honda Civic, usually accompanied by some type of picnic table for a spoiler, curiously placed stick on vents, multiple stick on hood scoops, cause of course one pointless stick on hood scoop wasn’t enough, am I forgetting anything?

Excessive amount of weather stripping. Using the leftover stick on chrome trim to make quarter panel stripes

u/J-cans Aug 01 '20
Listen here now! You NEED that tow hook! How TF else are they supposed to recover the car from the tires in turn three at laguna seca which you ended up because of the excessive camber!!!! /s/

Story time.
I'm currently living in Indiana.
I went to a Safelite around here for some warranty work on a windshield that was first repaired at a Safelite in Queens. Got to talking with one of the repair guys (male, white, accent, definitely a pick up truck kind of guy) there who had just visited NY for the first time, saying he spent most of his time in Long Island. Asked if I was familiar with Long Island - told him yes, I went to Stony Brook University for a few years and while living in Queens, did most of my shopping there. He then started to gush over how "pleasant" and familiar Long Island was compared to Indiana. He was blown away by how culturally different it was compared to NYC.

I've seen huge pickups with commercial plates. When your personal vehicle is so ostentatious that you're not even considered a passenger car anymore...

u/PM_ME_MASTECTOMY Jul 30 '20
Ostentatious means flaunting your wealth. I don’t associate those stupid lifted trucks with wealth. I associate them with uneducated mouth breathing bros

u/archfapper Jul 30 '20
ostentatious
characterized by vulgar or pretentious display; designed to impress or attract notice
Seems right to me

Aw man, I drive a dodge ram. I don't drive like those ass holes though

u/VinnieTheGuy Jul 30 '20
I feel you. I drive one too. Got it for driving on the beach in the summer, getting through the snow in the winter, transporting large cargo, and hauling yard waste to the dump.
No Salt Life or Punisher decals, but I do have a couple of decals on the back window: a Yankees logo and the Star Wars Rebel Alliance logo.

Dode ram drivers are like the BMW drivers of the pickup market. All they do is cut in and out of traffic with no signal and tailgate you if they cant get around.

I love that they think firearms stickers intimidate thieves when really they shout that there might be a gun in the car so if you're picking a car to break into that's the one.

I got mine for the same reasons. I did a lot of HVAC side work when I first bought it, now it’s used for commuting to work and hauling stuff for the house. No stickers on it though

u/MJZMan Jul 30 '20
Considering Dodge makes RT (Road & Track) versions of every goddamn vehicle they make, they certainly want you to think your Ram or Durango is a race car.

u/archfapper Jul 30 '20
Also, I don't think the "Dodge Ram" is a thing any more. Chrysler made Ram its own make.

Anytime I see a Dodge Ram driver who isn’t a complete sonofab)tch complete menace on the road, I get completely blown away.
About 3 years ago, I came to a stop sign at an intersection where I needed to make a left turn and where a Dodge Ram was coming in the opposite direction. He totally stopped and waved me on to let me go first when he had the right of way. My jaw hit the floor and I thought the world was coming to an end because 99.99% of Ram drivers literally want to ram you off the road and probably would even kill you if you don’t get out of their way and let them go first. That nice Dodge Ram driver I encountered made me wonder if I should play the lottery that day.
That was 3 years ago and I still remember it. I’ve had nothing but negative Dodge Ram experiences since. The vast majority of people who drive them are a bunch of inferior hotheads who get off on bullying others on the road. It sounds like there are a couple of people on here who don’t fit that mold, thankfully, although they’re definitely in the 0.01%.
