From a bazinga-rich family member, the kind that likes to dangle money at the poors by making them try to jump through hoops and otherwise kiss his ass, and otherwise pretend to be a "philanthropist" while not actually giving any actual money to the poors:
"I hate how game companies pander to lazy people with shit hardware! I have a cutting edge battlestation in my man cave and almost no game comes close to using its full potential!" :wojak-nooo:
Back then they were in style so hard like every 3rd guy was wearing them. Didn't really make a good signifier, it'd be like judging a community on the basis of people wearing t-shirts
If I had to distill it I'd say his argument was any community featuring loads of young men wearing unnecessary headwear that isn't currently in style was bound to be shit and I don't think he's wrong
That is a compelling argument, and looking around, it seems to have some plausibility.
I've not found a single case where he's been wrong honestly, does hinge a lot on the "young men" part of it though
