The parent comment didn't say anything about fashion being entirely about manipulation; they said luxury fashion is based off manipulating human psychology". "Luxury" and "based off" are key words and cannot be omitted.
You also propose a false dilemma: either luxury fashion or standardized, homogeneous garments. Surely there are other myriad options, not just between extravagant luxury or dull conformity.
- version_five 4y agoThis doesn't make any sense, it reads like taking issue with random words. The op's point was pretty clear even if he omitted "luxury" somewhere.
- GeoAtreides 4y agoI disagree. "based off" means a completely different thing than "entirely": the former is not exhaustive, the latter is. "Luxury fashion" is a firmly delimited subset of fashion. The reason OP omitted "luxury" was to set up their false dilemma, which wouldn't have worked between "luxury fashion" and standardized garments (wouldn't have worked in the sense it would've been even more obvious it was a fallacy).
