My initial thought is video games, everything has pros and cons, sure. However, it feels like anyone not into video games views them extrodinarly negatively. Any other hobbies parallel to that in your opinion?

    Collecting funko pops or figures in general. It’s kind of like watching cartoons as an adult, where people buy figures of their interests for display. There’s some art there to the figures themselves and even the funko pops. Why do you have to immediately make it your business to shame others for collecting them? They say it’s contributing to the landfill and all that shit. Well, that is if they’re buying the figures to destroy them or burning the vinyl plastic itself for no reason.

    But that’s not what they’re doing, so get over it.

        Yeah, depends on whether OP means problematic in a relative or absolute sense. It’s not different from buying other overpriced brandname things, but I’m not really sure any of it is something to be proud of.
