Why pay $20 or whatever it is for LootCrate when you can just dumpster dive for free? It's the exact same thing: you sift through a bunch of garbage and every so often you might find something somewhat cool or useful, but at the end of the day you're still surrounded by trash and smelling like shit. Only difference is that with LootCrate, the trash and smell come from being a gross manchild who doesn't clean or shower.
I was going to say something similar. Basically, I think widespread Internet availability was what changed the game. Before the Internet, to get your fandom fix, you had to go to comic book stores or conventions. Otherwise, fans were pretty much invisible. Then the Internet came along, and suddenly it became clear that these groups were far more widespread than before. I'd argue that it was the Blair Witch Project, a film that became huge because of its viral marketing campaign, that drew Hollywood's attention to the possibilities of the Internet.
You got 10 years in you then?
I used to think, a long, long time ago, that it would be nice if my nerd hobbies were commodities and easily available and not so stigmatized. I realize, now, that the rest of the world was right and bullying kept the idiocy under control.
This but unironically.
I remember that pink haired bitch saying that she's 70% gay or something like that. She's a hot preppy girl with glasses and pink hair. Someone should shove her headfirst into a horse's anus. Maybe her hair would come out a normal color.
Most people recognize Danielle from the first season of the show, the UK version was somehow even more terrible and funny.
