What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in my local birthing center’s new parent training, and I’ve been involved in numerous home diaper changes, and I have over 300 confirmed formula bottles. I am trained in gorilla binkies and I’m the top “got your nose” player in the entire US playground system. You are nothing to me but just another babysitter. I will put your baby the fuck to naptime with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of nannies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your diaper genie. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can change your diaper in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in one-armed baby wipe retrieval, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the American Association of Pediatrics and I will use it to its full extent to wipe the miserable shit off your baby’s butthole, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
Props.
Don’t forget to complete your style with your tactical baby.
NGL as a dad myself, I would be far more likely to make fun of this guy and his tacticool diaper bag than any dad carrying around the girliest bag their wife obviously picked out. It’s way cooler to not give a shit what other people think of your child raising accessories.
Also, it looks like he is wearing his child as a tiny human shield. Squishy plate carrier.

And people are calling the guy in the OP image fragile…
It looks cool, I’d use it! When you start making fun of me I’d just shrug and carry on, because I don’t care what judgements some weirdo makes about my accessories.
Right? If you like it, you do you. It’s shitty to criticize someone for liking a certain style.
The baby carrier and bag my wife got do not fit on me. The “mens” ones all look like this, so I had no choice.
On a related note, I find most of the bags marketed towards women focus more on aesthetics than usefulness and have poor functional design all over the place. These “tactical” bags tend to focus on functionality, which is a big plus IMO.
Diaper bag on Amazon literally listed as “for women” has more functionality that that side bag. They don’t make Molle pouches for wipe dispensers like that side pouch this one has. Most of the 1st 20 results are the same level of ‘functionality’ - I don’t doubt that some women’s bags are more about aesthetics but this is literally advertising the aesthetic of the bag to men over function. Is there a diaper changing mat included with that tactical bag?
Shocked we didn’t see Elon wearing one of these with his
human shieldchildMy wife is also not completely selfish and realises I’m also gonna be using these items so we pick something neutral.
If this motivates them into being good dads then great
Pretty much.
The tactical dads I know are a bit cringy with their military swag, but they’re around for their kids.
Yeah, around enough to indoctrinate them too I’m sure.
Actually kind of looks cool if you are into military gear… what’s the big deal.
Dad’s are awesome
Yeah, it looks like it’s got a lot od straps to make it easy to adjust and ir looks better then the stupid fucking colors of other baby carriers. The wide shoulder straps look comfortable too
When baby starts crying you say, “toughen up soldier!” In a soft military drill sergeant voice.
“No free rides!” You whisper as you wipe the drool from baby’s lips, “you got to earn your keep around here,” you whisper.
Yo, guys. Is it gay to take care of your kids?
Better butch this up.
Call of doody
Kevlar for your baby seems like a good idea in the US
I do like the idea the baby gear can be designed aesthetically for the parents using it. Not just soft pinks and blues, and preschool prints.
Ya, I’m not into the aesthetic but it does represent the societal progress in parental roles.
The molle panel could hold so many binky leashes too.
I don’t have an issue with the product. It could be funny in the right context.
I have a problem with the manner it’s marketed. The ad doesn’t say good things about its own product, but instead tries to attack competing products as girly.
I think we have the same problem with whats being shown.
designed aesthetically
“Military” as an aesthetic is very 90s-minded. Like, 30 years ago, when I was a dumb teenager who was excited to see the live-action GI Joe movie, cosplaying as an Elite Operator Guy felt no different than playing around as a cowboy or a knight or a jedi.
Now? Idk. I can only expose myself to so many “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” gore videos, with guys dressed like that opening fire on a crowd of starving Arab children, before I’ve lost my taste for this kind of aesthetic choice. Its beginning to feel like I’m seeing a guy who wraps his kid in a swastika themed blanky.
I meant I could get behind them using other aesthetics, not military, but were chosen with adults/parents in mind.
I also wondered about this, so I googled “diaper bag”. Literally all the results just look like normal bags. They aren’t covered in rainbows and butterflies. Just a random color + bag.
Fair enough. I was just thinking of the diaper bags a few of my friends have.
Plenty of diaper bags with sportsball branding and Comic Books for Adults aesthetics.
Of course, there’s a lot of military advertising in both of these media circuits, so… shrug Any time you need to make your diaper bag look like something other than a diaper bag in order to feel secure, you’ve been cowed by The Patriarchy.
What if you want it to look like a diaper bag without being in baby pastels? Is that ok or just the patriarchy again?
I’ve seen a few in shades of matte gray and camel tan that work great. Very boring and gender neutral. No need to proclaim your sexuality when you’re using them.
So much marketing is directed towards men set on convincing others they’re not gay
Which in itself is kinda gay lol
Not that there’s anything wrong with that
Wow a recent Seinfeld reference - nice!
That reference is old enough that Seinfeld himself wouldn’t date it.
I think all Seinfeld references are right about there now.
It’s good advertising is what it is.
They know there are millions of underdeveloped, insecure men out there that need to feel like they aren’t the little bitches they actually are.
Here’s the sad thing dawg. I love the tacticool aesthetic. I love the feel of the material and I love patches. But the entire industry is propped up and advertised for these “I am a manly man man who man’s harder than women and other men” and that’s so sad. It’s an aesthetic ruined by the culture it belongs to.
Is it okay to say I like the color and it looks more comfortable then the other carriers I have seen?
My daughters diaper bag was vintage Gucci , get with it tacticool dad
I’m not a regular dad. I’m a cool dad
Smells more like Call of Doody.
It’s MY doody, and it’s a BIG one!
What’d you get a medal for? Wiping?
Lol I was going to say, you don’t actually have to change the name, you just have to say it the right way for it still lto apply to parenting.
What the hell kind of name is Soap? How’d a muppet like you get to be a daddy?
Such a waste. Men get so few opportunities to wear peppa pig branded gear and still get respect and recognition from passers by.
Peppa Pig is a shit head. Her dad is one of the worst personification of a father that I have ever seen in a children’s show.
Why would I want to represent that?
Now a Bluey Diaper Bag …
Bluey gang rise up
I want the crowds to part for me like Moses. That’s why mine is Caillou themed
Don’t worry, I’m sure they make peppa pig tactical patches
I kind of want to see black and white Peppa Pig skull patches that poke fun at Punisher patches, but I think the irony would be beyond the thin blue line crowd.
sorry, but the closest thing to that I could find was a hello kitty punisher skullThat works too I suppose.
The thin hot pink line?
The biggest perk of obvious-looking diaper bags is that you can sneak weed brownies into pretty much any event or theme park.
Just say you get hypoglycemic and they let snacks through.
