Are you dense? Your own poll, if saying no, says "No, but I also have very bad taste" if they don't agree with you

Its a rib. Dear lord. Its not like I have some passionate disdain for those who like Funko Pops. My own roommate and close friends have them.

Cool. But you saying people should agree that they are fucking stupid, and ribbing people saying if they dont agree then they have bad taste, can be very discouraging to people with low self esteem or self confidence.

You may not have meant it in a harmful way, and thats fine, and my initial post was geared more toward not making people feel like something they enjoy is stupid or not worthy. Even if you didnt have intentions for people to actually feel that way.

Im not a Pop collector, I do have some but a lot of them were gifted to me, and I havent bought one in years. But some people like them and thats fine for them.

You dont have to get defensive about this, either take the feedback or dont, and lets move on

Im not being defensive. Theres no need for me to be. I know what my intentions were and I stand by them. Im not making fun of anyone that collects them. But did I say that Funko Pop collectors have bad taste within the poll? Yes. Was it a joke? Yes. I think most people understood it was a joke. Lighten up chap :)

Funko Pops are pumpkin spice lattes for basic nerds.

They're stupid and there's way better alternatives, but people don't care, they just want it based on recognition alone.

They're soulless trash! Michael said it best, "they're pure marketing trash."

If you collect your favorite characters or series then no.

If you are spending thousands or paying scalper's prices then yes.

They're ugly

And so are nendoroids. Goddamn hideous, both of them. Just use the actual proportions.

Funko Pops are dumb.

owns every Zelda Amiibo and about 90% of the Smash Amiibos

The thing about Funko is that I prefer anime stuff. So they don't have things like this Jeanne Alter Nendoroid that I have.



Although even if they did, it would probably just be a big head with black circles for eyes, no flag, and her sword wouldn't be on fire or even be able to go into its sheathe <_<

People get way too emotional about them. Mostly anger.
