Funko Pops, to me.

I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn't work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there's so much representation and variety that it's good to have a few.

If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.

I... I don't think of these at all, I just ignore their existence.

Personally, hating on people who post things on social media that are slightly offensive to others get more hate than they should. We should reach out and try to explain the issue in a civil matter instead of just loosing it because that doesn't make us any better. And if the person doesn't want to understand or care, just ignore them and move on.

Hating on products because either are bad, or underwhelming is ok as these companies know this and clearly don't care because they are already making money off it. However this is only recent due to all the Enshittrification we are getting force fed by these same companies.

Pokemon go. There were always people eager to tell you how it's not very good. Like, ok. Do you want me to stop having fun now, or is there a grace period, or?

Though ironically I do have a bit of a "fun police" impulse around dungeons and dragons via "oh my gosh why are you doing a social intrigue game with this rules set" I've been working on keeping that to myself.

Mass Effect 3's (ultimate) ending:

I get it. I get that after a series of EXCELLENT games that touted meaningful choices, "select an ending video" was lame.

Were there better ways it could have been done without planting an infinite "tree of death" taking into account every player's individual choices from the entire trilogy? Sure!

I'm sad that this resulted in things like death threats and crap, from people who obviously have no idea what game developers do for a living. They obviously didn't deserve that.

The added "green ending" still gets hate even. It was fine. The game was fine. It told a story and was a blast to play through. (Even despite EA's constant executive meddling!)

I wish it wasn't profitable to whip people into riotous frenzy over such things.
