Not really. Most of my friends know the joke, and not all of them are particularly internet savvy.

What's wrong with cargo pants
People have been making fun of cargo pants for like, a decade. I don't know why, though.
I dont actually own any so it doesnt even apply to me, but I don't see how you can go wrong with pants that have extra spacious pockets. As a dude who is jealous of ladies purses for the amount of stuff they are able to carry, I think it seems like a great compromise.
And yet I only own jeans and dress pants.

I've seen fedora bros and bronies all in one package.
There's nothing wrong with cargo pants! All those pockets and leg room that you'd never get on a modern pair of jeans are to die for

Where I worked, the only guys I ever saw with fedoras were either wearing My Little Pony shirts or trenchcoats.

I live in a beach town in CA and I have never understood the Internet's hate for the fedora. I mean, around here, people in fedoras look like this:
Just awful... what?

LOL at people attempting to make hating cargo pants a thing.
Props to you for noticing that she's wearing a hat. I didn't catch that.

There are always exceptions that prove the rule.
Attractive people can generally pull off any look given the smallest modicum of effort.

Fedora? No.
Trillby? Yes, I have 3 Borsalino.
Yeah, I don't get it either.
I use cargo pants a lot, and exactly for the reasons you wrote about: wallet on one side, smartphone on the other, and I can drive with no frets. Wallet in the back pocket? Annoying and uncomfortable, plus cards get curved or may break. Smartphone in the front pocket? While sitting/driving? A 5" phone is unbearable.
Sorry for the OT.

I remember seeing a dude at school show up during hot weather in a long black trenchcoat and sunglasses. He was indoors but he never took the sunglasses off. He was one of the more powerful nerd-wizards of the department. A group of nerds formed around him as he swayed it to and fro in front of them. He went on and on about how high quality it was, opening it up in the "flasher" pose to show off the loud-colored lining while nodding his head, feeling confident in how cool he looked.
I just walked away from that area as quickly as possible so I didnt have to listen to it a second longer. I then remembered that this was the same dude who had previously started a conversation with me about Back to the Future. I love the movie so I was into it, but then he started telling me how the flux capacitor was feasible and his theories about how it worked. It was then that I went dead-fish in the conversation so that it would naturally die.

This is a pretty normal look in my town though...
This is who OP is looking for, right?

Everything. You don't need that many pockets and they look like shit on everyone.
Hence them being in the same burnable category as fedoras.

Because they look awful on like 90% of men who weren't born in the early 1900s.
Apples and oranges.

Black guys can rock it just fine tho.
These are cargo pants, whats the issue here?
Hating any pants with more than 2 front and 2 back pockets is literally a "i know nothing about clothing" calling card.

Oh come on, don't hate on pockets. Something we carry a lot of things. I appreciate having a few extra pockets for stuff.

Black guys can rock a lot of styles that I cannot and I am so very jealous. Like, once a week I'm jealous.
I think what I'm most jealous if is their superhuman ability to make absurd amounts of purple look amazing. If I wear too much purple I end up just looking like an awkward 90s dad and I might as well break out the teal fanny pack.

Can one cringe into oblivion?Yeah, problem?
The pose, the ill-fitted suit, the awkward grip...
The answer might be yes.

it doesnt matter if its a trilby or a fedora. they all suk
I used to wear a fedora and a bowler hat for awhile in highschool because of Ska/Punk fashions. I was looking for a pork-pie hat but it was impossible to find hats like that at the time. I actually gained a lot of friends from wearing a fedora and people frequently approached me in public to complement or talk to me despite looking like an utter skid.

Are cargo shorts on that same list or they get a pass?

If you genuinely need to carry as much cargo as cargo shorts and pants are designed to be encumbered with, then you're much better off with a satchel or backpack. And if you don't need that many pockets, then you're wasting a perfectly good opportunity to wear something more flattering or comfortable.
Fedoras and trilbies look good on the right person wearing the right outfit, but they aren't a cure all of bandaid for an otherwise atrocious outifit.

Ok, here's a look on men that is also very common where I live (stock photo but still representative of the look):
