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.
Yeah. I feel like they get so much hate because they are the closest symbol for “maybe things aren’t as clear cut as you thought”, and it freaks people out.
I think also some people who feel like they can’t be as openly homophobic as they used to be in the 80s/90s/2000s have just transferred their bigotry onto trans people instead because they think they can get away with it.
Nah, they’re different and different people get hated. The same thing happens to people who are different but are not trans.
