Yes, I agree.
MC has it worse, I think, because so many of them are steered entirely by Rules and Strictures of Classical Dress, and Hierarchies of Quality, and so forth. So their entire style is dictated by the forum.
I think SF can exercise a lot of sway over new members though, and feedback over a fit can be very persuasive if you don't have a strong individual sense of style. The thought "maybe if I buy APCs, they'll like me" might be quite compelling. I don't know personally because fuck APCs, I'm not going to drop 165 just to see if the sizing roulette works out in my favor this time, but I don't know how else you can justify the preponderance of two cuts of jeans on the forum.
