I guess I'm the asshole if I'm still surprised season after season at what kind of crowd the mrporter sale brings. But really, shouldn't you be on reddit by now? I heard the nordstromrack in Alaska has one pair of common projects on sale, you better go call them

Meh. I think that it's silly to be surprised or dismayed. There are always more people new to a hobby than people who are deep into into it, like the active posters here. I don't begrudge anyone their desire for a pair of Common Projects, or standard Margiela GATs, or whatever ir is.

I don't think that it shows anything other than newness to a hobby/interest/whatever.

I do think that it's better if both people deep into a hobby, whether it's clothing, or coin collecting, or whatever else, to be more tolerant, and for newbies to be more humble. Then everyone is just. happier.

Yea, I wouldn't go as far as calling you an asshole, but doesn't read very welcoming. What exactly are you referring to by 'kind of crowd'? Are you implying this sales thread is somehow on a different level to Reddit? Lmao

you're damn right I am. I just went to FMF and I couldn't even decide on which first page thread to post to prove my point. There's not one worthwhile post there. But I really didn't post to get into an argument; if you want to shop at mrporter, be my guest

I'm still confused; MFM is pretty different from here, but what's wrong with Mr. Porter? I like 5% of what they curate, but that 5% is a good offering to me IMO. I just ignore the hype brands (Common Projects etc.) and move on to what I enjoy, and if it is on sale then that's all the better.

I mean given you started your post with 'i guess I'm the asshole' you knew you were writing some unnecessary ****. Anything that starts with that phrase is not worth posting

There's nothing wrong with it, I just found it annoying that I likewise find about 5% interesting is bringing out a bunch of people who usually don't post here to post a bunch of garbage about what % off is in the private sale that you either have or don't have. I acknowledge I'm being pedantic

So go back to reddit and don't respond
