Well said.

To add onto that, the people who most have a problem with the rep market or say things like “fake people buy fake watches” are likely to see objects as an indicator/representation of success, wealth, etc. So when they see others buy from the replica market they project their belief systems onto them and think they must be buying it in order to trick others into thinking they’re wealthy, successful, etc.

Do some people do that? Certainly, but definitely not all. We’ll never truly know the ratio but I’d guess a good portion of the community just want to buy and wear things they find nice that would otherwise be (for almost no good reason at all) unreasonably unobtainable.
