When God was handing out brains, you heard “games” and said “no thanks, I prefer touching grass.”

AnarchoSnowPlow ,

Based on your looks I expected you to be smarter.

I dunno, I think my favorite insults are the ones that don’t require any creativity or effort. There is something to be said of just using the old standbys because the person you are insulting is worth so little to you that you really can’t even be assed to come up with anything specific for them, or because the subject you are insulting is so inherently devoid of originality that they’re like a negative creativity vacuum. How many different ways can you really insult the same copy-pasted balding thumb headed shrimp dick moron? It gets tough after the one thousand three hundred and twelfth time. They make writers and dominatrices to insult people, there are careers. Me, I’m not gonna waste good material if I’m not paid for it.

Thrifting used to be fun Now everyone thinks they’re a flipper and goodwill and other places have jacked up their prices to unreasonable levels.

Not to mention the fact that it’s (sort-of) taking materials that were attempted to be destined for the less fortunate

In ny area it’s in reverse: there’s no supply shortage but it’s much more socially acceptable to buy second hand clothes. The stigma on thrifting is way less.

Its nice that you tried

Your mom never loved you

I will be happy if that happens; the only way to make any hobby go mainstream is to make it cheaper, which benefits all those who indulge in it.

The rapid growth will destroy your hobby by warping the culture beyond recognition and forcing you to act the their norms. I’ve seen it happen more than once.

MTG/Yugioh would like a word. In fact, of all physical collection card games, I think Pokémon is the only affordable one.

MalachaiConstant ,

For me it depends entirely on 1) which hobby and 2) how the mainstream audience shapes it; if investors believe they can make more money by promoting certain aspects of the hobby, they can change it’s entire landscape. And that’s not even getting into what can happen when IP law gets involved.

It’s a shitty tradeoff to have to make, because sometimes I just want to everyone to enjoy what I enjoy. I’ve also seen hobbies die from too much exposure.

blanketswithsmallpox ,

… What’s the insult?

hOrni ,

You may be right. It’s a curse, but not an insult.

The thing is that the mainstream aspect will burn out, like most fads do, but the people who really love it will keep loving it, and some (usually small) amount of the new influx will also stick around permanently and enrich the community. It’s just about surviving through the fad part that is hard.
