Say what you will about Soviet Russia, they (at least) pretended to have a nobler cause for killing people than wanting to make profit.
 
Funko pops are the Beanie Baby of the modern day. There are people who think they'll be an investment, and I 100% guarantee they'll loose value by about the time Gen Z is in their 30s at most. And even if they don't: Their ugly and I hate them.

Like, of all things I don't understand why people collect them. I get why people buy Legos as an adult. Model building is fun, and some people want a simpler version than the full on glue and paint build. Figurines can look cool. But funko pops look cheap, ugly, and you can't do anything with them. Why do people collect these
You have a point. The only differences is that I can see are Funko pops are plastic and based on popular brands. However, the majority of pops will lose their value because unlike other action figures/toys don't resemble the characters they're based on and fans would prefer the original over a novelty any day.

One thing I will say in defense of Beanie Babies is that they're good for kids who like to sleep with a stuffed animal since they're nice soft plush toys and the stitching is pretty solid.

At the end of the day Beanie Babies were plush toys for small children, and nothing about their collectability really got in the way of that, so they were still a decent product when you take the gimmicky collector aspect out of it. Funkos have no purpose beyond being an ugly desk ornament for manchildren.

Agreed. I think most of the people who bought them did it because they had kids who thought they were cute.

and how many soyfaces can you spot in this screengrab of just SOME of whats on offer on this channel?
So an update on this Bugman I found back in March. I decided to finally steel myself to go back to his channel and see if it was still the same. Yup. It is. Another Wall of Soy incoming.

According to his own videos, his collection, which was around 600 when last I paid attention to him, is now over 1500.

Now I am going to go back to not looking at this abomination for several more months to recharge my batteries. I would wonder how a person could even know what all of this stuff is supposed to be, but I realized somehow its all the most basic mass market shit imaginable.
 
Stumbled upon these two men who consoom mostly girl toys.

They have a YouTube channel where they pump out daily videos of them unboxing toys.

Here's a vid where they're moaning while smelling scented Squishmallows. They bought all 10 of the mystery bags that were available at the store, They only got 4 of the 6 from the series, and at the end says they're going to continue buying more mystery bags to get the remaining two.

Mandatory soy face:

And only a single video that breaks the 1.5k mark. I'm glad nobody wants to watch that shit.

Man, that guy has such a creepy face, but I guess that's what you get from the kind of people who feel the need to buy an identity.

Are they even? They're fucking tiny, unless you're talking about a baby it's not really something they can hug,
 
Cleaners see all. I've seen a very similar scenario. Allow me to present a case study, anonymized of course, so as not to PL.
This family had more than one kid, but the eldest kid got the biggest room, which led to some tension with the younger ones who felt it wasn't fair. Except it turns out the eldest didn't get to use all of "her room" because it's actually where the mom was storing her hoard. It was only when the hoard started spilling into the other rooms of the home that the younger children realized what was going on.
This was years ago, mind you, and of the children all ended up with some form of minimalist tendencies and weird behavior towards their belongings.
Cats know the true value of pussy isn't measured in simpbux.
Also, Alinty is weak, WEAK!

Fucks sake, bald guy just steals all the attention. For being such a bizarre case of personality. Here you are thinking bald guys with tattoos are supposed to be somewhat manly, but nah. Here you got a fag so unmanly it would make normal women seem like a man in comparison.
 
There's a growing movement of corporate shills who are trying to get corporations recognized as living things. I think the endgame is for them to be granted protected status complete with pronouns and shit, so that things like complaining about a corporate decision or an annoying advertising campaign will now be legally considered discrimination/hate speech and people can be fined/censored over it.

A few of these people do genuinely see corporations as living things though. Which I probably don't need to tell you is horrendously dangerous.
They literally made an entire documentary about this concept


It's about what you said, corporations slowly turning into "individuals" with the same rights as humans

And that documentary is from fucking 2003, it's insane how long this has been going on
