Object oriented is a programming paradigm, not a computer
language. Just because C lacks the syntactic sugar to do OO
in a more compact way says *nothing* about the possibility
to use it for OO programming. It is after all turing complete.

There is nothing "fake" here.

The fact that a gas oven has a much nicer user interface
doesn't make an old wood-fired stone oven a "fake" oven.
