I think the two statements are independent.

It's like saying "new Corvettes are all bought by guys going through a mid-life crisis with gold chains and bleach blonde bimbos. You should buy a corvette." While the first may sound like negative point, it doesn't change the fact that corvettes have matured into a impressive sportscar with lots of value. So may be a recommendation.

"I'm looking for a fun, cheap, sporty car. Should I get a miata or a Chevy Sonic 4 door?"
"Miatas are cars for hairdressers and gays. You should get a miata."
I think most of us would understand that. (I can say that since I've had 2 miatas and now have a boxster which has a similar reputation in some people's minds.)
