Well! My wife is Dutch and she bought me a pair of Dutch HappySocks™ with stripes a few birthdays ago.

I suppose I’m not that much of a pariah after all!

I used to play ice hockey as a preteen/teen, so I’ve worn 'em in that context.

As far as the fem-boy/“girly” ones, I’m just not into it. Any socks above mid-achilles tendon make me itch. I have hairy legs.

I’ve reached the acceptance stage of possibly being a pariah in the community for not wanting to wear the socks.

I’m also a cis-gendered heterosexual married male, so I guess that tracks.

They get dopamine hits when their no_u.exe or no_u.dmg start-up applications run.
