Is it that difficult to let people enjoy funding clothes they like to wear? The subreddit had 5.4 million subscribers. That’s 5.4 million people who disagreed with your opinion. Hopefully that gives you some perspective.
People like this love when their elitist or exclusionary opinions are countered by the masses. Just makes them feel even better. Source, I was one of them in my younger days.
I find it depressing that young men feel forced to conform to societal and corporate expectations, rather than developing their own sense of style and buying the clothes they actually want to wear because they’re old enough to have run out of fucks to give and lack the confidence to take risks.
I get that in your twenties and thirties, you’re at the bottom of the corporate ladder, but live a little.
I mean, imagine if the only ice cream flavour was vanilla. That’s what that sub was often like. I mean, it’s fashion. Wear something fun or exciting, rather than dressing like an NPC all the time. You also need to live outside the office and you’re not losing a promotion because your chinos were the wrong colour.
Just because an opinion is popular, does not mean it is correct. That is literally the argumentum ad populum logical fallacy.
And having lurked there, many of the people didn’t visit to find clothes they liked wearing. The went there to find clothes that would conform to corporate/societal expectations and look ‘smart’.
