Nayrt but girls get away with alt fashion a lot more than men. Fashion is perceived as a female orientated interest because girls in general care much more about how they look.

There is a lot more stigma to a guy dressed in alt-fashion than a girl.
>He's gay
>He's a weirdo
>He's a try hard
>He's an attention seeker
>He's a wannabe
>He's compensating
>He wants to be x (eg. Japanese)

Like of course girls in alt-fashion get criticism too but they get a lot more support. Men's fashion is very narrow, just try going to a mall and go shopping for men's clothes. The range is very, very limited because men are expected to dress in a limited range of clothes.

The only reason I've been brave enough to tackle the weird looks is unironically because of Pewdiepie and him being more open with his fashion interests.
