She can get x2-3 value reselling lmao.
The type of gals who are in and out of the psych ward a couple times a year. If you can't figure out who is buying something retarded, it's always either children or women with BPD.
Ah, trolls. Those were funny. It cracks me up that their most prominent use today is as good luck charms by those crazy fucking old bats who haunt bingo halls and will fucking kill you if you so much as talk to them during a game, even by accident.
My wife was offered one of these that someone pulled and was unhappy with. She gave it to our dog because she thought it was disgusting looking. I didn’t know what they were until I saw a video about people scalping them like pokemon cards. Just like those, it seems there’s some kind of susceptibility to fomo that these people have. They’re expensive as shit for plastic crap, but you’re willing to pay 2, 3 or even 5 times what they’re worth to some fat Mexican in flipflops that cleared out the store and is selling them from the back of his car in a Lane Bryant parking lot? I have zero sympathy for these retarded consoomers, and just like the retards camping out outside of GameStop, Walmart, Target or Best Buy, I hope they get stuck with bulk they can’t pawn off on someone.
Dear god that fucking voice. Its like shes trying to sound like a stereotypical vtuber but in person.
it seems like having a samey design with only a mild alterations is the key to artificial collectibility
I'll freely admit that I don't mind the odd bit of reasonably priced plastic crap, but every time I see a hoard of Funko Pops or Sonny Angels or some other creatively bankrupt line I start wondering if Uncle Kaczynski was onto something. Franklin Mint used to catch so much crap when I was a kid, but at least they made a token effort to make things that were visually interesting and didn't assault the world with hundreds of thousands of reproductions of the same penis.
you sure are
Because every time I hop on Aliexpress it's there on the front page, or go on manga or pop culture groups there's at least one random displaying theirs. It's like having my own personal, underage flasher following me around. I'm seriously considering dropping a ton of sites I'm following. At least Funko Pops have the decency to keep their pants on.
It reminds me how Crumbl (another consumerist thing), got popular overnight because of social media when no one cared, and now almost everyone where I lived lost their shit over Crumbl cookie. I'm always so confused when these new things pop out of nowhere
It just makes me think of NFTs, how they were essentially dollmaker icons scrambled up and sold as collectible.
They're not even that good of a cookie, I wish the Big Thing people got excited about would be actually good once in a while.
DANCING BACONS!! I'm so glad to see the girl in the video again! My family watches their channel, we call the girl Hami-chan 'cause she always has her cheeks full like a hamster. The videos just aren't as fun when it's only the camera guy buying convenience store snacks and trying them off-screen.
Are you talking about the Japanesestuffchannel bloke? God, he's aggravating. If he doesn't want to talk on video that's fine, but could at least give us a few lines of descriptive text instead of the same silent thumbs up every fucking time?
Here's a wild, think-outside-the-box idea I just had. Maybe, just maybe.... don't go on Aliexpress? Like at all? Don't buy anything from there anymore? Nor Temu, alibaba, nor Amazon, and so on? Stop buying crap you don't need? "but the occasional piece of plastic tat is ok because-" NO. Just stop it.
I'd agree with you completely, if the things weren't infesting every single cheap shop in the country anyway. And while yes, laying off the tat can only improve my life, I still have to go to cheap stores and websites like Aliexpress to buy pet supplies and random household crap that has a five or ten times mark up in "legit" stores. So avoiding tat would mean me having to do shit like pay $45 for a rope perch that would only cost me $15 from a cheap shop or $10 from Aliexpress. I can then take that $30 and use it for my vet's mortgage.
