You’re possibly right. Honestly the “fedora” thing strikes me as a Very Online thing, so odds are it doesn’t matter that much. However wouldn’t really want to draw in people who think “fedora good” over “fedora bad” either. When the wise man points at the looming world-ending superintelligent AI, an idiot looks at his hat. Realistically, odds are most regular people don’t much care. But it might be a teeny teensy bit safer to drop possible blatant signals of that sort, to avoid triggering both groups. It risks being a distraction.
