BUT what Swanky is saying is the new hipster shirts suck as we LIKE the old real shirts.
AND in TC land there is a guy who makes lots of money and he collects these shirts and wants to own every one ever made so he will pay lots, for the old stained ones.

Some in TC land don’t want to waste time with Fred’s new hipster shirts and want to focus more on the old cool shirt.

Funny thing is the old cool shirt is a copy of another shirt.
That shirt was ok but the old cool shirt had some differences that in some peoples mind made them better than the first shirt.

In reality old Polynesia must have sucked, bugs, disease, viral infections, sitting a storm out in a dam grass shack.

Hollywood made it look good and we bought into THAT fantasy, well no Don Beach bought into it and sold it to us plus made mugs we really like.

So is The Simpsons, Archie Bunker, Al Bundy and on and on, are they Cultural appropriations of the white American father?
If they are then the white American father has been openly and very negatively portrayed for years.
And that is only getting worse.
