Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I was at SDCC this year and I was amazed at how many booths had Funko pops, which was about 20-30% of the booths and there was a line for the Funko area, jam packed with people. I over heard people saying they found some rare ones or newly released that were hard to find.

A few years ago someone bought me a Squirtle Funko Pop, since Squirtle is the best, and I opened it and took it out of the box. They proceeded to freak out that I ruined is value by taking it out of the box...

Vinyl dolls with big, boxy heads and small bodies. Kinda cute, but mostly they end up barely looking like what they're supposed to be. There's exceptions though, and they're very good about releasing obscure characters eventually.

Because I'm into comics and similar "geeky" things, I used to get them as gifts fairly often. Had to put a stop to it because they take up room fast, and there's stuff I'd much rather display than hyper-cartoonish dolls. That being said, I very much enjoy my Godzilla, Cthulhu, and Squirrel Girl "pops"

Ahhh, I've seen them when browsing games at my local bricks and mortar. Indeed, they are incredibly generic. Not a lot of effort goes into them. Thanks for the information.

A fading search engine that shoves ads down your throat before giving not mediocre results.

It is also, apparently, a way for people to be rude without good reason on forums based around human interaction by telling people to gtfo and not interact.

Google is also the fucking problem.

I think the reddit crew have arrived. I can feel the change here, unfortunately.
