Kind of recently, a close friend of mine took a picture of him and his wife explaining something to their dog: http://i.imgur.com/bfpOGYK.jpg

They're the sweetest, coolest, most open-minded people and I adore them. They're not trying to act like they're better or more stylish than anyone else, but the level of "hipster hate" they got in the thread was just intense.

That picture is adorable!

How could anybody have something bad to say about that? Haters gonna hate, I guess.

Hmmm. I can almost... ALMOST see how it's possible a few denizens would interpret these two as counter cultural attention seekers, but they're clearly not. That photo's a good joke.

I'm actually having some trouble imaginging to big a fallout on this, if any. I suspect you're being dramatic, where did this happen? tineye doesn't return results. https://www.tineye.com/search/dad74b36792f392b44d2df523fe17a...

edit: Never mind it was easier to find than I thought

This seems good natured enough. I don't feel these two are being mocked in this thread.

I'm trying hard not to descend to the level of the hipster haters, but while I don't see anything pretentious or stylish or cool, it does come across as a tad absurd. Dogs are smart, but not that smart.

I'm going to unilaterally say that this thread is a one-time exception to the "HN is not Reddit" rule and post this: http://i.imgur.com/3Gpey.jpg
