All glasses are pervert glasses if they're tinted and reflective enough.

Man I live in Fuerteventura. Here we use sunglasses to protect our eyes, not just while driving, but also walking. The sun is quite strong on them.

I wouldn't call all sunglasses "pervert glasses".

The main usage is still to reduce light. And if polarized, to reduce reflections (which also helps in some car windshields).

They are tools to protect our eyes and improve our vision under harsh circumstances. Before anything else.

No the joke is that no one can see your eyes so you can look wherever you want.

I have very blue, very sensitive eyes so I can relate. I live in sunglasses when I'm outdoors.

Just imagine face tracking with a Camera on every face. Such a great Tech Bro idea.

I feel weird even about wearing my sunglasses indoors. I do it only because I like bringing one pair out the door, it's very sunny out, and they're long-range prescriptions that help me read menus and signs.

Aside from the cameras, the obvious issue, as is with cops, is just constantly hiding your eyes for little reason.

The amusing thing is put a gopro on your bike helmet, dashcam in your car? No problem. Camera on your face? Oh hells no.
