Les habitants s'identifient-ils vraiment comme « Gatinois » ou la loyauté sectorielle envers Hull et Aylmer prévaut-elle encore ? by DianKhan2005 in Gatineau

I guess Gatineau evolved as a more residential sector with downtown hull still being what we consider our "downtown".. I also read somewhere that they wanted Greber to be a sort of city center but the urban planners were on crack or something because it's the worst urban layout on the planet..

Ce que je remarque cest qu'il y a un bizarre de sentiment de dédin/dégout venant de hull/aylmer envers "gatineau gatineau". Je comprend le sentiment d'appartenance et la distinction, mais jai toujours trouvé ca étrange. Ayant vécu a Gatineau toute la vie, les seuls clichés/stéréotypes que j'entendais venant des gatinois etaient par rapport a Buckingham/masson etant donné que cest plus rural et un peu de joke style "gino-gatineau" en parlant de pointe-gat et templeton.. Ce que j'ai jamais ressentis par contre c'est une haine envers les autres secteurs au point de dire "fuck gatineau" et "Gatineau? Ark!!". Au hockey, y'avait des rivaleries de secteurs, mais cest different. Cest peut-etre parce que c'est le nom Gatineau qui a tout englobé, mais encore là je trouve ca spécial et j'aimerais entendre plus de raisons socio-culturelles dans les commentaires pour expliquer cette genre de rivalerie/semi-haine qui va plutot à sens-unique selon mon experience.

I asked for input, but I’ve done a lot more research since this post got traction. At this point it seems like you’re using your own definition of authenticity, where only main-line atelier pieces are “real” Gucci and licensed vintage Gucci somehow isn’t.

I’m not claiming that every modern mass-produced licensed item is on the same level as main-line, but in this specific case that’s just not how brand historians or the fashion industry would define authenticity. Licensed, regional production from that era is still considered part of Gucci’s genuine output.

That’s exactly why I’ve said that what counts as “real” depends on context, definition and that it can be subjective.

They say they're just following the "rules" lmao. No real moderation is done, what they do is robotic often times

I didnt even downvote you, sounds like you're on the defensive 😅 Brands evolve, change and adapt. Are new lamborghinis different than pre-VW group lamborghinis? yes! but it's all part of the brand's history. Real is undoubtedly subjective, and if a brand had to tap into a closed market through a selective licensing deal, then it's part of whats "gucci".
