    The trend is dying out but, I never understood the labubu hate. It seems like the people who hate them dont even hate the worst aspect of labubus; blind box gambling. I just couldnt seem to find the rational of visceral reaction to a doll.

      Meh, yet another influencerslop fad advertising to children, with gambling in it? Can sort of see their point, personally.

      I had no idea what they were until someone explained it to me. They are fucking ugly as fuck.

      I remember many toys had a mystery aspect to them, but i guess they were a bit cheaper too

        Yeah they’re not my style either for sure, but taste is unfortunately entirely subjective. Lol

        I found out through South Park. I thought it was a knock off pokemon satire they made.

        Not using tiktok and similar socials has me missing out on lot of stuff like that. And being less in the know about what influencers are pushing.

        I was so amazed how something so big didn’t reach me when it’s not like I dont use the internet and was using social media like reddit.

      I never cared enough to inform myself about but I thought they were just overpriced. Good to know that it’s worse than I thought.
