Document Summary
The luxury items we counterfeit/replica reflect high-class brands. Fashion comes in and out of style, and then back in. High/middle/low class can be based on (for example) production value (television shows, clothing brands) Things that we deem as real are real in their consequences (ex, your reaction/comment after thinking someone"s purse is fake). Not all people who watch the show are fans. What determines ones perspective (x) is their passion. Similar to my little pony where bronys have a community with conventions and talent and chat-rooms and sharing (photo/music) with a deeper understanding of something which those looking in don"t understand. Its something you have to experience to understand. Bronys constantly raise a lot of money for various charities. They don"t follow socially imposed gender roles, and were dealt a bad hand by mainstream media and people are quick to make harsh judgments. Confirmed celebrities have admitted to enjoying the show.
