ngl they do be right though, we must purge the shitty ugly ass plastic things
Even besides the plastic aspect I don't get why people like it so much. Even if you like the IP that the figurines are of they look like shit.
The "gamer" identity is purely based on mindless consumption regardless of the product's use value.
You can buy overpriced chairs labeled for gamers. Powdered sugar, called G-fuel. Gamer shades, gamer branded clothes, fucking blue dyed mac and cheese with a picture of fucking Sonic the Hedgehog.
A Gamer will drop his cash on the most random shit as long as it's marketed for gamers.
You could literally slap a gaming label on a bucket of dogshit and some hyperconsumerist gamerbrained troglodyte will squeal and fork over his lifesavings so he can validate his fake identity as a "gamer."
