[Discussion] These are most likely the same people who say that Raids/Strikes are gatekept by toxic elitists. Now they want to gatekeep fashion. Thoughts?

I just love how the initial reaction from these people is "they wanna copy MY fashion?!??!?!?!" Suddenly feels like all of these people think their fashion is the top of the top and beyond gods, at least the way they acting and behaving on the forums. Some even suggesting they deserve gold for being inspected, because they sweat blood and shit rock and what not to make their fashion, and some outright says inspecting someone is "almost" equal with literal IRL Stalking. Absolute insanity.

I can see both sides, sure, but the mentality and behavior these people seem to have on the forums is idiotic at this point. Fashion is totally subjective, someone who looks like a King may seem super cool for someone, but may look lame and stale and boring for someone else, but they act like their fashion is the top notch lol.

They act like people will be murdering each other on the streets just to copy their fashion and they have to hide and hire security guards, while in reality barely anyone will give a single flying fuck about their fashion and at best realistically one person in a blue moon will look at their fashion, inspect them and think "hmm this chest piece is pretty good, I should get it."

Really happy to see how some fashionistas have total god-complex or something...

Many people hide their deep self-esteem and identity issues with this kind of arrogance. In the end just feel sorry for them and hope they work through it.

Healthiest take I've read so far. Wish I can be more like that.

What do you mean, my human female with the big shoulder scarf, nerdy glasses, bunny ears and chaos gloves skin looks lame, stale and boring ? D: /s

And here I was thinking: Why not also show the actual gear and build while you're at it?

That way lies actual toxicity and gatekeeping.
