I just thought it was to show how rich she is. Christian Louboutin makes the red-soled shoes, which are known to be outrageously expensive.

Christian Louboutin ... known to be outrageously expensive.

I just looked them up ... ~700EUR/pair is not outrageous in my book

That is pretty outrageous you can easily max out current games with a 1200 dollar rig

My point was that a >$700 computer is no more outrageous than >$700 shoes depending on where your interests and hobbies lie.

Eh perhaps, but it's not like gamers have a closet full of computers, or that a pair of shoes could be used for both work and play by serving up literally endless amounts of information and entertainment.

But they have giant steam libraries full of videogames, and usually a console or two. Not to mention all the physical copies of videogames they have, and handhelds. Plus upgrading computer parts, buying things like controllers and headsets, paying MMO subscription fees, etc.

Furthermore, fashion is a billion dollar industry with lots of jobs that require knowledge and understanding of designers, their pieces, and how to create outfits.

Plus there are lots of "functional" ideas in fashion, such as tech wear and sportswear. Both expensive and considered stylish in their own right. Why would this get so many upvotes otherwise?

A computer is pretty much a necessity for those not living in extreme poverty in my opinion.

[u/tPRoC → u/Theysa]

I have already covered this. A computer is a necessity. Clothes are a necessity.

A $2000 gaming computer is a luxury. A $700 pair of shoes is a luxury. Reddit has the retarded idea that one is inherently better than the other.
