Stopped watching him when he unfriended JonTron over Jon being conservative. It's amusing it's been years since I did watch him, and he got the same style. Just looking a bit older. Like Onision.
Time to grow up from being teen

I don't remember him making videos like this years ago. It was just him being a standard funny videogame review channel guy, not a "WOW GUYS I SPENT 100 DOLLARS ON RARE BURGER KING TOYS FROM 2002!!! THEY'RE LAME THOUGH SO I KINDA REGRET IT..." kinda guy.Stopped watching him when he unfriended JonTron over Jon being conservative.

The OreoxPokemon ad is really cool actually, pretty well done, too bad the product is still fucking gay and full of aids.

The witchy one were this way too, but especially cottagecore looks like they were too poor to buy anything nice and wanted to fill up their rooms anyway. Dumpster diving, flea market and that stuff.
And it's so cluttered, it's perfectly okay to have a lot of stuff. But there's a big but, and the reason for why minimalism is so popular now.
It's that when you want to go for maximalism, you have to be an expert in interior design. Because the smallest mistake will make it looks weird/overwhelming/cluttered, whereas minimalism is a lot more forgiving.
And describing yourself as "witchy", cannot not get second-hand embarrassment from that...

One of the weirdest groups of consoomers I've had the (dis)pleasure of interacting with is the Youtooz "community". They have the same consoomer mentality of the Funko collectors, but instead of the target audience being greasy balding redditors, it's autistic Discord children who stan Clayton.
The community is a cesspit of retarded consoomer children and manchildren who spend all their hard earned parentbux on sub-par Chinese garbage.
Another infested part of the community are the artists (Yes, there are people who call themselves "Youtooz artists"). Since Youtooz frequently picks fan-made designs to be made into official figures, the artists start having a crabs-in-a-bucket mentality of accusing each other of tracing in hopes of putting some other artist down to increase their chances. This results in a highly competitive art environment. However, Youtooz has numerous times been caught stealing fan design without compensating the artist and only doing so when called out.
However as with any community flooded with children, it's also flooded with pedos. As of now, there were 2 confirmed groomers in the community and a handful of lolicon coomers.
Where Youtooz differs from Funko however, is that not only is the community full of weirdos, so is the company itself. The founder of the company - Austin Long previously worked at Omnia Media and owned CS:GO scam sites (CS:GO Wild and Skinhub), one time he doxxed someone due to drama of said websites. He also spends his days being Mad at the Internet and frivolously defending his company from any and all criticism on Twitter, Reddit and Discord.
Here are archived exposés on the CS:GO scams
Exposé 1: Archive
Hi,
I'm known as "Monarch", I'm one of the founders of CS:GO Empire.
Most of you probably know me as the person who exposed csgowild.com and skinhub.com and the people behind it for running a chain of scams.
These websites are operated by the chain fraudster that most of you probably already know: Vladimir Novosselov, as known as "Vlad Nov".
First of all I have to say that I deeply regret ever getting involved into this. I never intended to become the public figure or the face behind this. At first I wanted to do this completely anonymously, but one thing led to another and here I am:
I'm now the person that publicly exposed a Russian mega-millionaire criminal. You can probably understand how scary this is for me.
It all began in December 2017. After I found undeniable evidence about one of the largest CSGO gambling sites rigging bets, I did what was the right thing to do. I contacted several large Youtubers, journalists and other people who could spread the story. In the end, one of my good friends ended up posting a Twitlonger link written by me, which contained all the evidence of Vladimir Novosselov being the owner of csgowild.com/Skinhub.com and undeniable evidence of them using a fake "provably fair" system in order to rig games in their favour.
It turns out that one of the Youtubers that I spoke with, ended up telling Vladimir that I was the one who wrote the tweet. At that point I thought that the situation couldn't get any worse, so I started posting piles of evidence about him on my personal Twitter account and I got several journalists to write news posts about the story.
It didn't take long for Vladimir to retaliate. Only a couple days later, I noticed various personal attacks directed at me. The first and the most obvious one was the chain of massive DDoS attacks directed at the servers of my business, CSGO Empire. We have been used to receiving DDoS attacks on a weekly basis, but this chain of attacks was completely different. The raw capacity of the attacks, the length of it and just overall how well it was organized was something that we've never seen before. The people behind this clearly knew what they were doing. There is also no doubt that the attacks were directly linked to the evidence we had posted about Vlad, as they started straight away after we exposed both CSGO Wild and then later on Skinhub.
Soon after I noticed that someone is trying to breach into various personal accounts of mine. Social medias, forums, iCloud storage and pretty much any online accounts that I ever owned. I received multiple password reset emails/suspicious activity alerts on my emails and other 2FA tools, but in the end the hackers managed to breach some of the accounts.
Interestingly during this time, the manager of Anomaly and the founder of OmniaMedia, Austin Long, who is a close associate of Vladimir
and who is also highly involved with Skinhub/CSGOWild, started systematically liking different pictures of me in my social medias, especially those that included family members of mine. Were they doing this just to send me a message? Perhaps. Anyways shortly after, Austin Long ended up posting my name and a picture of me on his Twitter account, but he quickly took it down and made his account private due to the community backlash.
It is important to note that Anomaly and Austin Long are closely involved in this. Anomaly and Austin have been very well aware of both Skinhub and CSGOWild being rigged, but despite that they were willing to turn a blind eye to all the facts. They even got caught for illegally taking down another large Youtuber's channel (Bean) just because he was criticizing Anomaly for his ties to Skinhub in one of his videos. They managed to take down the entire Youtube channel due to Austin Long being the founder and vice president of Omnia Media, which is a very large Youtube partnership network. All they had to do was send a single email to their agency and the entire Youtube channel was taken down.
It's not a big surprise that Anomaly and Austin Long are willing to do things like this, considering that they're being paid well over $100,000+ per each Skinhub video on Anomaly's channel.
Yesterday on the 18th of October, Vladimir made a truly bold move. He launched a live stream on Twitter in front of their 1,26 million followers. Shortly after the stream started, I started getting spam phone calls from my friends in order to get my attention. I started watching the stream and I was shocked to see that the entire purpose of the stream was not to defend Vladimir's actions, but instead he made the stream into a huge personal attack against me.
In the stream Vladimir showed my face, my name, the address of my family, my company name and all possible confidential information that his team could find about me. His team dug EVERYTHING, and I mean literally EVERYTHING that you could find about me. They even went as far as showing messages, online posts and videos about me that I have made 8 years ago when I was only 13 years old.
The way that Vladimir presented this material was completely taken out of context. He tried to put me in a bad light based on snippets of conversations and forum posts that I made when I was a child. The worst thing that they found about me was that back when I was 14 years old, I paid some dollars to rent an online booter to DDoS a "friend" of mine which led to the police raiding my house (back then) for this. I admit that this happened and I take full responsibility for it, it was an incredibly stupid decision and I faced the consequences.
Now here I am, writing this tweet in a hotel room somewhere around the world behind a proxy. At this point Vladimir knows all and everything about me, except my current location (luckily). He knows who I am and he has done enough research to identify all of my closest family members and he has made that very clear to me. I've had to give extensive lessons to my family members about how to secure their online accounts, not to mention the cameras and alarm systems that we've had to set up in our home.
It is scary to know that Vladimir makes way more money in a day than what it costs to put a hitman on someone. He has been proven to be a person with absolutely no morals and I'm very concerned about my personal safety. I've discussed this with my lawyers and the closest circle of people around me and I'm making my best effort to keep me and my family secured at this point.
All that aside, later on I will make another post where I comment on some of the allegations that Vladimir directed at both me and my business. I would just like to mention that the things that Vladimir showed about me have been completely taken out of context and most of the material shown about me were around time when I was 13-15 years old. I admit that I have been involved in activities when I was 13-15 that I wouldn’t dream of doing now. I was caught by the police for DDoSing and I stole Runescape gold from other kids when I was a child. The difference is that those activities don’t apply in any way to my business that I run these days, in ANY way. I run a successful company with tons of happy customers and we have not been involved in any fraudulent activites. The reason that we brought up Vlad’s criminal past was because he continues to make fraudulent businesses, continues to scam his customers and continues to lie, cheat and attack anyone that attempts to stand up to him and his team of cronies.
As of right now I'm doing my best effort to spread this story as widely as possible. I'm in talks with many different journalists and large Youtubers that are interested in spreading this. We are also working on taking legal action against Vladimir and his associates.
I've also been thinking about hosting a Reddit AMA or a live stream where I could respond to all questions in real time if enough people are interested. Currently I'm responding to all tweets that are sent to me at @CSGOEmpireV2
For those of you who are interested in reading the full story about Vladimir Novosselov, Skinhub, CSGOWild and Anomaly's and Austin's involvement in this, here's a link to a post that I wrote earlier: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sqmbm3. This post includes a brief version of the entire story with evidence about everything.
Also as a final note - currently Vladimir is trying to defend himself against the claims using an "attestation letter" as a shield linked here: (https://www.scribd.com/document/383938001/Skinhub-Attestation-Letter) this unfortunately is nothing but a publicity stunt thought of by him in attempt to deceive the public into thinking that he hasn't rigged anything previously, when it is for everyone to see that there is undeniable evidence of his prior rigging.
I looked deeply into the attestation letter with several developers and they all agree that this entire letter is worthless. Vladimir basically hired an online security/penetration testing firm to check their website for potential vulnerabilities and they simply requested the company to post a public attestation letter stating that "they did not see any fraudulent activity happening in the site - as far as they know."
It is important to note that ALL of the data and logs conserning rigging bets can easily be manipulated. Skinhub already got caught in the past for using a blatantly faked "provably fair" system that was completely non-functional, but by editing their database logs they can easily make the site look legitimate to a random third party.
In simple terms, there are just an absolutely overwhelming amount of evidence proving that Vladimir rigged both, Skinhub and CSGOWild and he has done a huge effort in attempt to remove and hide all the evidence about this. Vladimir is currently hiding behind this one simple document which is ultimately worthless.

Tl;DR:
-Vlad Nov is the owner of Skinhub, CSGOWild, and Kickback
-Kickback exit scammed their users, didn't let them withdraw and completely changed the site to something else
-CSGOWild was proven to be rigged and Skinhub was caught using fake provably fair systems
-"Skinhub Chris" is fake and is not the true owner of Skinhub, Vlad Nov is
-Austin Long (Anomaly's manager and VP of Omnia) continued to work with Vlad Nov and promote his site through Anomaly despite knowing he's a scammer and Skinhub wasn't legit
-Anomaly publicly lied and said he had nothing to do with the illegal takedown of Bean's Skinhub exposing video, his network has said he actually specifically asked the video to be globally blocked
-Bean's channel has been unjustly removed from YouTube shortly after exposing Vlad Nov, Skinhub, Austin, and Anamoly.

Only a few days later CSGOWild was exposed for using a fake provably fair system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provably_fair) and got caught for using bot accounts to play against their users, essentially rigging the site to win against the customers

27.12.2017
A long conversation began between Austin Long and "Monarch", the person who initially exposed CSGOWild.
At first, Austin and Vlad blatantly lied about the rigging happening at CSGOWild but when their story didn't add up with the evidence, they completely changed their story and claimed that the entire website was hacked and that everything was done by the hackers. They posted a tweet about this on the @Wild twitter, but took it down soon as the story was proven to be wrong.
During this time, Skinhub also got exposed for using a fake provably fair system.

Proof that Skinhub faked their provably fair: https://imgur.com/a/OYjQjmj
January 2018
When CSGOWild was proven to be rigged and as Anomaly received overwhelming pressure from the community, he deleted all the CSGOWild videos and stated that he has cut all ties with Wild and Vlad Nov
Proof: https://gyazo.com/99ae64198c05b8652015f809b08b20cf
Despite his previous announcements, Anomaly decided to renew his contract with Skinhub regardless of the site having the same owner as CSGOWild and his manager claiming they cut ties with them.
"Skinhub Chris":
After Vlad Nov was exposed as the owner of Skinhub and the site having a fake provably fair surfaced, they started promoting a fake owner, "Skinhub Chris".
This person was never talked about in Anomaly's Skinhub videos before, but suddenly Anomaly started to mention "Chris, the owner of Skinhub" in his videos. Just look at this:
First video after the Vlad Nov scandal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkizBzNJfk0&t=19s "Chris, the owner of Skinhub" mentioned at 0:19.
Second video after the Vlad Nov scandal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL1_B7yBvlk&t=7s "Chris from Skinhub" mentioned in the first 7 seconds
Fourth video after the scandal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJePZmQmsbk&, Chris mentioned in the title, thumbnail, description and all over the video.
It seems that Chris was simply hired to pretend to be the owner of the site to take all attention away from Vlad Nov being the real owner.
Here is his twitter: https://twitter.com/skinhub_chris The description is "Owner of @skinhub. Guy with the best items in the world." - But, it's already been proven that Vlad Nov is the real owner of Skinhub. Funny enough, the recovery email of the @Skinhub_Chris twitter account is "skinhubchris@kickback.com". You can draw many conclusions from that email address.
Mid 2018:
Skinhub hired a 3rd party penetration testing firm to post an attestation letter for them, in attempt to prove that their site is not rigged. They were immediately called out for this by other developers, stating that the attestation letter is meaningless considering that the Skinhub developers could have easily edited the files and logs that the 3rd party firm was given.
Proof: https://twitter.com/CSGOEmpire/status/1048691972351901696, https://twitter.com/GamdomOfficial/status/1048700141987872769
Skinhub changed their website from a CS:GO case opening site into a real item case opening site. Skinhub started large advertising campaigns, involving big Youtubers such as Anomaly, Memeulous, and many others.
October 2018:
Bean made a video exposing Vlad Nov and Skinhub. The video got 650k views in less than a week, until OmniaMedia illegally copyright striked it, based on the video having a 3 second clip from an Anomaly video.
Proof that the video got taken down by OmniaMedia: https://gyazo.com/8ca12215c46dca465ba3c96706a65d24
Proof that Austin Long is the Founder and Vice President of OmniaMedia: https://gyazo.com/68c5c060808cf6f621f846c867cdbea1
Here is the original exposing video re-uploaded as unlisted on a second channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGLs_247LEk

Bean's Skinhub exposing video gets viewbotted by a 3rd party, most likely intentionally to violate YouTubes TOS and get his video/channel removed:

05.09.2018 - 10.09.2018:
Anomaly claims he had nothing to do with the illegal takedown of Bean's Skinhub video. This was later proved to be a lie. Omnia (Anomaly's network) says Anomaly specifically asked the video to be globally blocked.

After Monarch continuously exposed Austin and Vlad on Twitter, Austin doxed him and posted his name and irl picture on Twitter. He took this tweet down shortly after.

Youtooz also employs a furfag artist that goes by the name Kastro. Kastro spends their time drawing the furry mascot of the company as a """handsome""" goat and putting the companies furry partners in maid outfits. The nail in the coffin is the fact they consider themselves a witch.
What I covered here is just the tip of the iceberg really. The Youtooz "community" as a whole could have a Community Watch thread on it's own due to the infestation of this community being way past just endless consumerism.
TL;DR: Youtooz is a company ran by scammers and furfags with a community full of autistic Discord stans, pedos and children.
The community is a cesspit of retarded consoomer children and manchildren who spend all their hard earned parentbux on sub-par Chinese garbage.
Another infested part of the community are the artists (Yes, there are people who call themselves "Youtooz artists").

Skinhub scam situation, Vlad Nov and personal threats against me and my family
Hi,

Vladimir basically hired an online security/penetration testing firm to check their website for potential vulnerabilities and they simply requested the company to post a public attestation letter stating that "they did not see any fraudulent activity happening in the site - as far as they know."
It is important to note that ALL of the data and logs conserning rigging bets can easily be manipulated. Skinhub already got caught in the past for using a blatantly faked "provably fair" system that was completely non-functional, but by editing their database logs they can easily make the site look legitimate to a random third party.
In simple terms, there are just an absolutely overwhelming amount of evidence proving that Vladimir rigged both, Skinhub and CSGOWild and he has done a huge effort in attempt to remove and hide all the evidence about this. Vladimir is currently hiding behind this one simple document which is ultimately worthless.
The Biggest Scam In The History of CSGO: Vlad Nov, Skinhub, CSGOWild, And More.
Tl;DR:
-Vlad Nov is the owner of Skinhub, CSGOWild, and Kickback
-Kickback exit scammed their users, didn't let them withdraw and completely changed the site to something else
-CSGOWild was proven to be rigged and Skinhub was caught using fake provably fair systems
-"Skinhub Chris" is fake and is not the true owner of Skinhub, Vlad Nov is
-Austin Long (Anomaly's manager and VP of Omnia) continued to work with Vlad Nov and promote his site through Anomaly despite knowing he's a scammer and Skinhub wasn't legit
-Anomaly publicly lied and said he had nothing to do with the illegal takedown of Bean's Skinhub exposing video, his network has said he actually specifically asked the video to be globally blocked
-Bean's channel has been unjustly removed from YouTube shortly after exposing Vlad Nov, Skinhub, Austin, and Anamoly.

December 2017
Vlad Nov relaunched CSGOWild and Anomaly started promoting the site. Only a few days later CSGOWild was exposed for using a fake provably fair system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provably_fair) and got caught for using bot accounts to play against their users, essentially rigging the site to win against the customers

A long conversation began between Austin Long and "Monarch", the person who initially exposed CSGOWild.
At first, Austin and Vlad blatantly lied about the rigging happening at CSGOWild but when their story didn't add up with the evidence, they completely changed their story and claimed that the entire website was hacked and that everything was done by the hackers. They posted a tweet about this on the @Wild twitter, but took it down soon as the story was proven to be wrong.
During this time, Skinhub also got exposed for using a fake provably fair system.

January 2018
When CSGOWild was proven to be rigged and as Anomaly received overwhelming pressure from the community, he deleted all the CSGOWild videos and stated that he has cut all ties with Wild and Vlad Nov
Proof: https://gyazo.com/99ae64198c05b8652015f809b08b20cf
Despite his previous announcements, Anomaly decided to renew his contract with Skinhub regardless of the site having the same owner as CSGOWild and his manager claiming they cut ties with them.
"Skinhub Chris":
After Vlad Nov was exposed as the owner of Skinhub and the site having a fake provably fair surfaced, they started promoting a fake owner, "Skinhub Chris".
This person was never talked about in Anomaly's Skinhub videos before, but suddenly Anomaly started to mention "Chris, the owner of Skinhub" in his videos. Just look at this:
First video after the Vlad Nov scandal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkizBzNJfk0&t=19s "Chris, the owner of Skinhub" mentioned at 0:19.
Second video after the Vlad Nov scandal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL1_B7yBvlk&t=7s "Chris from Skinhub" mentioned in the first 7 seconds
Fourth video after the scandal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJePZmQmsbk&, Chris mentioned in the title, thumbnail, description and all over the video.
It seems that Chris was simply hired to pretend to be the owner of the site to take all attention away from Vlad Nov being the real owner.
Here is his twitter: https://twitter.com/skinhub_chris The description is "Owner of @skinhub. Guy with the best items in the world." - But, it's already been proven that Vlad Nov is the real owner of Skinhub. Funny enough, the recovery email of the @Skinhub_Chris twitter account is "skinhubchris@kickback.com". You can draw many conclusions from that email address.
Mid 2018:
Skinhub hired a 3rd party penetration testing firm to post an attestation letter for them, in attempt to prove that their site is not rigged. They were immediately called out for this by other developers, stating that the attestation letter is meaningless considering that the Skinhub developers could have easily edited the files and logs that the 3rd party firm was given.
Proof: https://twitter.com/CSGOEmpire/status/1048691972351901696, https://twitter.com/GamdomOfficial/status/1048700141987872769
Skinhub changed their website from a CS:GO case opening site into a real item case opening site. Skinhub started large advertising campaigns, involving big Youtubers such as Anomaly, Memeulous, and many others.
October 2018:
Bean made a video exposing Vlad Nov and Skinhub. The video got 650k views in less than a week, until OmniaMedia illegally copyright striked it, based on the video having a 3 second clip from an Anomaly video.
Proof that the video got taken down by OmniaMedia: https://gyazo.com/8ca12215c46dca465ba3c96706a65d24
Proof that Austin Long is the Founder and Vice President of OmniaMedia: https://gyazo.com/68c5c060808cf6f621f846c867cdbea1
Here is the original exposing video re-uploaded as unlisted on a second channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGLs_247LEk
02.09.2018:
Bean's Skinhub exposing video gets viewbotted by a 3rd party, most likely intentionally to violate YouTubes TOS and get his video/channel removed:
Proof: https://imgur.com/a/RxzhQNQ
05.09.2018 - 10.09.2018:
Anomaly claims he had nothing to do with the illegal takedown of Bean's Skinhub video. This was later proved to be a lie. Omnia (Anomaly's network) says Anomaly specifically asked the video to be globally blocked.
Proof: https://imgur.com/a/TlASBjk
7.09.2018:
After Monarch continuously exposed Austin and Vlad on Twitter, Austin doxed him and posted his name and irl picture on Twitter. He took this tweet down shortly after.
Proof: https://gyazo.com/36124056ee7cff6673c6b545b9003f04

10.09.2018:
Despite having indisputable evidence of this entire situation, Keemstar (Who is sponsored by Skinhub on his podcast Baited) declines to investigate Skinhub solely because Bean's video was viewbotted by a 3rd party, then closes DM's with him

Youtooz also employs a furfag artist that goes by the name Kastro. Kastro spends their time drawing the furry mascot of the company as a """handsome""" goat and putting the companies furry partners in maid outfits. The nail in the coffin is the fact they consider themselves a witch.
What I covered here is just the tip of the iceberg really. The Youtooz "community" as a whole could have a Community Watch thread on it's own due to the infestation of this community being way past just endless consumerism.
TL;DR: Youtooz is a company ran by scammers and furfags with a community full of autistic Discord stans, pedos and children.

I was preparing to cringe back to the stone age with that "Cottagecore" shit, but instead I found myself baffled by it. Usually Cottagecore is defined by glamorizing rural/farm/Amish living, and most of those were, well. Like @Vingle said. Just junk filled rooms. Disjointed, not at all aesthetically pleasing, and filled with stuff these girls probably picked up at Marshalls or Hot Topic or maybe some kitsch store. It actually made me feel sad for them thinking their places were so uwu and aesthetic when it really looks like just another bland, suburban girl consoomerism room.
Not that I want to encourage that "-core" shit at all. But it's extremely sad to look at these tiktoks with these girls who are addicted to buying things to fit their mental ideal of "cozy" and "comforting" and it accumulates into a mess. And not even a useful mess. It's not like they're hoarding blankets because they live in Alaska, or tools and lumber because they have buildings they need to repair themselves. Or hell, even jars for canning because they garden - and I mean actually garden, not just collect uguu succulents~
These girls get stuff that only is going to contribute to a landfill. You can give away stuffed animals to younger family members and use pens and notepads for grocery lists, but that ugly hot pink sun wall decoration? Ew. Who the fuck wants that? You can't even use the metal for repairs on something else. It's utterly useless and doesn't even have a timeless feel, so in 5 years you'll probably hate it. In 10 years, succulents and ivy plants will probably look way too dated and it'll be another exodus of girls tossing those away for the next big thing. It's like a cycle because these young girls are glamorized and praised for not growing up and realizing their tastes will change and instead living to consoom for likes/tiktok compilations.
I think it's fine to have stuff. I think it's alright to decorate your walls, own a few plants, have some stationary around. But drawers of pens? Walls so full you can't see the paint? So many decorative plants you can't even get to the window? That's hitting excessive.

I had not considered the idea of plants going out of style until you pointed this out and now I'm upset that you've put that knowledge in my head. Curious, I looked into this and it's even more gross.

Witchtok Consoomercraft is hilarious to me. I realize they're likely Wiccans and their entire "religion" is a scam Gerald Gardner came up with in the 50's to get laid, but if you know anything about the history of folkloric witchcraft practices one thing they have in common, whether it's southern Hoodoo, Appalachian folk magic, European, etc. is that the materials used in their customs are all things which were readily available to the poor. It makes a lot of sense when you consider that people who had low wealth and social status in their culture would be more likely to seek an alternative type of power over their lives, and only the desperate would be willing to make a deal with the Devil. That's why these traditional superstitious rituals call for things like sugar, corn husks, yarn and threads, scissors and herbs, or things that could be dug up from graves like dirt and coffin nails. Many forms of authentic folk witchcraft still practiced today call for certain passages from the Bible to be recited or written, which the Witchtok types seethe over when they find out.
There's also a commonality in these folk witchcraft belief systems that you shouldn't speak about your magic, because it diffuses its power. Telling someone about your nightmares to make them less scary, or not saying what you wished for when you threw a coin in a well or blew out your birthday candles because then it won't come true are examples of this old superstition surviving into the modern day. So essentially, these girls buying massive amounts of commercial stuff with no practical use to decorate their house and display to everyone online in order to signal that they're doing super cool rituals are the antithesis of the traditional witch archetype they're trying to LARP as.

Expect that these people use “magic” as a form of political activism or social identification, which is why they don’t really care about its actual ancestral meaning. With this I’m not saying that traditional esoteric practices didn’t have some of those connotations, but not in the woke sense these girls mean.

I shouldn't be too shocked plants are literally used for trends, but that little plant he started with going for $5 when it used to go for $50 really points out how materialistic people have become. What is going to happen to all these plants people have accumulated once they aren't trendy? If you can't get rid of them for $5, are they just going to be thrown away? How many stores and homes already regret having those "living plant walls" and will soon be in videos going "What were we THINKING?" while the wall is striped and all those plants are just tossed to die?
I know a lot of people probably just roll their eyes because "it's just a plant" but as someone who went to college for forestry, it's slightly heartbreaking to me to see living things be treated as social media props. Only enjoyed when it brings in views/likes, and instantly discarded when something better comes along. I guess at least they will break down into nutrients again, unlike Funko Pops and other ugly plastic, but they shouldn't be pushed as a type of consoomable item in the first place.
Anyways, why does every Gamer Girl have neon signs on their wall now. And of course they always have to have a Cardcaptor Sakura rug, yeesh.

If anything, what we're seeing in the "Pagans on the internet" thread indicates you are extremely correct.
"Tradition = bad and possibly racist (if European), fluffy woo-woo = good."
I like to joke that plants are more evolved than we are because we only have mitochondria and they have mitochondria and chloroplasts, but I'm with you on the bad feels. They're alive. They aren't just decorations that need extra maintenance.

Just wanted to mention that if there is anything worse than being a "modern" videogame collector is being a "collector". By that I mean spending thousands on dollars on a "physical" game that is available online at a lower price. Limited Run Games is a clear example of this and they also know their fan-base (bearded manchildren) enough that they exploit the cumsoomer within them.
This is a pretty interesting video and I recommend a watch:

because those room goals illustrations from fucking Tumblr and pinterest yet again, Another case of the psy ops working.
a shit ton of those instathots and egirls with kawaii sailor moon pastel plastic and neon hoards only started covering themselves in that stuff because it became trendy on social media and would most likely have laugh at otakus and fujoshis watching weeb shit before the 010s when the aesthetic started going mainstream with "influencers".
You grow up and see these people always going after things only when they are a fad and once they get into it is like they pass a switch and from one day to the next start buying all the generic starter pack products as if it were a halloween costume and they wanted to be the most stereotypical representation of that character as possible. The last few years i got to see these late 20s, 30 yr old women suddenly start sharing memes about binging anime and talking about being kawaii and sharing ironic hentai captions after a lifetime of actually hating on everything resembling anime with vitriol, they didn't discover a new hobby or had a change of hearth, they just know it equals likes now and they have to social signal else they start to feel old and out of the loop and we can't have that.

I think most guitar players have probably seen this, but this tends to be one of my go to examples of how unnecessary like 90% of an electric guitar is. This is a Gittler guitar. It is totally functional and you can buy it right now (for $7495):
That's the essence of an electric guitar. You need a straight neck, level frets, pickups that aren't made of scrap metal, tuners that will at least kind of hold their pitch, and strings that aren't pure rust. You can just leave the wood out entirely.
That's why electric guitar collection is such a strong sign of blind consoomerism: because in truth aside from aesthetics and the feel of the instrument, they're almost all identical. Plus usually these same people will have some dirt cheap acoustic instruments lying around as an afterthought, even though that's where investment actually pays off.
What really gets me is that if you look at boomers in particular, they're always huge fans of blues/southern rock shit, pentatonic scales are like catnip for weird old white men who desperately want to be hip. Yet they're also the ones who will turn their noses up the second you start playing on an inexpensive instrument and it's like...my man, what the fuck do you think the broke black guys you idolize were playing on back in the day?
This was the first solid body electric guitar, created by Les Paul in 1940. It's a 2 foot piece of 4x4 with a neck stuck to it and some pickups he wound himself. The two tan colored guitar halves on each side are totally nonfunctional, they're just there to make it look pretty. Les paul played this on recordings and for live audiences to great reception, yet apparently you can't sound good without a $5k setup? Alright.
PS: sorry for all the instrument talk, other people. I know it's probably annoying for those who don't play.
To be fair, all it takes is one look at the tard baby thread to get the feeling that when actual small human beings are often treated as social media props that are discarded when they're no longer useful, that just using plants as social media props is pretty admirable by comparison.

That guitar gives me nightmares. LOL
While yes, this is the bare minimum to make a guitar, the bodies do matter for a couple of things. The first and most important thing is stability. If you play electric guitar you've probably heard of neckdive. Some players avoid models like the SG because they tend to neckdive easily. Nowadays most models go for the stability of something like the Stratocaster. But for me who have conditioned my body to the classical style position. I just can't fucking play with them, I need a V model or the ML (Which i own both, one 6 stringed and one 8 stringed). These can have neckdives too but it's just not a problem for me. And so, guitar players usually go for a body that feels good to play with and I'm not sure this thing can make it for most people. Second would be weight, when you play for a long time you get accustomed to a certain weight. Some players do need lighter guitars because heavier guitars can just start fucking up your body. But that nightmare guitar honestly looks too light, It just looks uncomfortable to play with. Specially counting the third thing, the neck. That tiny fucking neck looks impossible to play with. Your hand moves differently around the neck depending on which string+fret+finger you're playing in. I just can't imagine playing stable with such a small space to move. Also necks can vary in their shape and I'm not sure if that tiny neck could work if you add more strings.
While I agree with you with boomer takes on guitars. The new generations are also equally dumb when it comes to downtunning and playing 8 strings, or 9 strings. OR FUCK IT, Make ridiculous 20 stringed guitars where you can't play the fucking thing.
The fuck is this shit. OMG so Brvtal! Fucking faggots.
I'm sure there's like a %0.000001 of players who could use this right. But please, stop.
Also fuck amp nerds/collectors. You don't need that many amps dude. What are you doing. If you think dusting off your old consoles to play retro games is annoying, try changing amps. Unless you work in a recording studio, keep all of your bandmates equipment on your house or some shit like that, why would you need so many? They do sound different I'll give them that. But fuck off, you're not using them all.

I like how he has spent money on legos, but his bed frame appears to be a twin mattress stacked on pallet wood.
Just imagine the condition after several years of spills and splatters, and nobody having the energy to move all that shit around to clean anything. The fucking trading card binders on the bottom shelf. If he drops anything at all on top of those binders, everything in them is ruined. The owner probably just moved into his first apartment at age 30+, and has never had to clean anything all on his own.
