Wearing one of these and going to the cinema alone is an act of defiance. White-hatters are people who don't need to wear an amorphous mass of friends like a security blanket, or have a girl/boyfriend slung around their neck. You wear a white hat to the cinema and, just maybe, meet someone else who doesn't need an 'other half' because they're a whole person, exactly as they are.

Whitehatting started on postsecret, and is spreading fast.

Join the revolution.
