what exactly is the point of having a discussion about being "dressed by the internet" on a thread about internet fashion

once you are posting on sufu waywt you are participating in "internet fashion". it's nerdy niche interest, own up to it. a lotta people who post on these (and other) forums were introduced to fashion via some shitty infographic on dappered or GQ or reddit. i really doubt many of you would have ever known about ~cool jap brands~ if it wasn't for the internet. how the fuck can you go to Rakuten or y!jp or w/e and order something from some obscure japanese designer while living in the USA, and not attribute that whole series of events to the internet?

real fashion victims, tbh, aren't random kids wearing rick owens geobaskets poorly- they're people who own thousands of dollars worth of random shitty versace/prada/gucci/etc. you wanna see real fashion victims? go to lookbook.nu, or go talk to some "fashion majors", or go walk around during fashion week. there are dudes who dress up in thousands of dollars worth of clothes and stand outside fashion shows in hope that some blogger will photograph them. those are fashion victims- not people like sundance or ver or whoever, those sorts of people have bad fits because they just don't know enough about clothes yet.

these sorts of discussions are about on par with discussions on reddit and gamefaqs about people "appropriating nerd culture."

and honestly the only reason anyone does this shit is because its fun. who cares if someones only experience with designer clothes is from the internet?
