TLDR: A well-known luxury brand doesn't fit one user's unique needs. ("inconspicuous street photography" "discreet shooting") Why try to extrapolate this to some thinkpiece-level n…

I got about as far as "indoctrinated woke shibboleths" before I started to doubt that the author is truly interested in overcoming ideological bias.
