Tu quoque is a logical fallacy. It's when A makes criticism P; A is guilty of P; Therefor, P is dismissed. Liam calls fits comical; Liam dresses comically; Therefor, Liam can't call any fit comical. This is fallacious and he's right, most of the goofy fits posted in SW&D are comical.
There is an argument to be made regarding the judgment of people like Liam or you who don't know any of the codes of the styles of SW&D and do not have a trained eye to appreciate what is good or bad about them.
That's a bit elitist. I would be willing to bet that if you put together a lookbook of highly praised SW&D fits and had focus groups comment on them the reactions would be mostly negative or confused.

A focus group of what, winged donkeys? Your statement is meaningless. I bet if I showed it to a focus group they'd burn your house and go jet skying.

Fuuma rings true here - it's a different mentality than that found in MC. Rules are just different, and there's not real way to compare those rules to the other's paradigm without things blatantly not computing. They're just different beasts.
Odds are that many a MCer would be scoffed outside of SF for wearing pocketsquares, trying to incorporate and blend too many patterns, etc. Every subfora is keyed in on different details, fits, silhouettes, and generally the WAYWT photos are tailored to those sensitivities. Both can verge on wacky outside of their contexts.
I've personally never understood nor really admired the much-hyped "goth/ninja" look, but hey - it's there. People can do it well, and people can do it poorly according to the look's "rules." I don't totally care for it, nor understand it's "rules," and I therefore can't make a true call on it beyond that of a bystander.
