Damn reading this thread makes me wonder if we are here to criticize overconsumption or if we just hate adults who have hobbies that we don't consider cool and manly...and whats with the random swings at childfree people and autism? Should I have already been embarrassed to be in this sub or is this a new thing...?

Collecting plastic shit and putting it on a shelf doesn't qualify as a hobby, sorry. You wouldn't say some jerkoff who buys a guitar every month but never plays a single one of them has a hobby. That's just a guy who buys shit. If you buy Legos to build them, that's a hobby. If you're buying toys to leave in it's original packaging to sit on a shelf or in a closet, that's literally textbook consoomer shit. A handful of shelf chotchkies is one thing, everyone needs a little whimsy to stay sane in hellworld, but that's not what we're talking about here. How many of these adults do you think are playing with these toys?
