Is it socially acceptable for adults to collect Pokemon cards?
>>57189656Considering how expensive the damn things are most collectors probably are adults.
>>57189656Actual children have not touched proper trading cards in decades. It's all young adults recapturing the nostalgia of the 2000s now.
>>57189656Only if you have kids and it's for them. I don't have a problem with childless guys that buy a card here or there for nostalgia but binging ripping packs and doing master sets is just fucking gay. Plus it takes the enjoyment away from the kids when they can't buy any cards because some fat sweaty asshole camps out at Costco and buys them all. Ruins it for them and it ruins my nostalgia as well.
>>57189656any adult man who buys shit like this is a manchild to mei will look down on pathetic toddlers like you
>>57189781You're on /vp/.
>>57189656Is it socially acceptable for grown men to collect baseball cards or sneakers they won't wear outside?
>>57189806yeah, to verbally abuse you freaks, not to partake in your lame hobby, pokeloser
>>57189841Which pokemon would you fuck?
All these replies assume that the buyer is a man. How do we feel about adult women buying cards for themselves?
>>57189841No one feels abused by some autist on 4chan hurling played out insults.
>>57189656Pokemon TCG is just a business taking advantage of Charizard nostalgia fans and eBay scammers. anyone sane shouldn't waste money on it unless it's for collecting favorite pokemon cards
>>57189855My sister buys packs, keeps the cute ones, then gives me the rest, even if they're more valuable. I don't know if that's shallow or wholesome.
>>57189656No, but then again plenty of people over the age of 25 partake in childish activities to pass the time.It'd only be cause for concern if that person is being harmful to themselves or others by doing it. Then it's cringe, otherwise it's just another mundane hobby and it really isn't that serious.
>>57189656As long as it makes you happy, yes
>>57189656No, being a Weiss GOD? Now that is respectable.
>>57189656>Is it socially acceptable for adults to collect Pokemon cards?Yes.>Is it socially acceptable to scalp Pokemon cards?No.>Is it socially acceptable to post soifaces gawking at Pokemon cards on social media?No.
>>57189656Being a pokémon fan is already pushing it. Then collecting cards?
>>57189841Even more sad, if true. But we know you're one of us, anon.
>>57189656
>>57189656>wanting to be accepted by societySounds lame
>>57189841What do you think is happening here? Are you sitting around with your cool bros irl and high fiving when you call somebody online a fag, or are you sitting alone being an asshole for no reason?
Card collecting is an ancient hobby.
>/tcc/
>>57189656No but I do it anyways
>friend picks in me for buying a couple packs of Pokemon for the dopamine hit>same guy spends most of his paychecks on Magic cardsCardboard is cardboard faggot.
>>57190161MarnieSchizo? I see you placed your cards on the Crown Zenith mat.
>>57190550I come on here with my college frat bros to laugh at you guys, and then make out with my beautiful hot girlfriend afterwards. She blushes at my masculine alpha chad status, and told me she would happily aid me and my frat bros in making fun of you guys. I also played football in high school by the way.
>>57189841kek this triggered the manchildren
>>57189855Acceptable because men shouldn't be consuming any media or buying toys/merch at all. That's for women. As men, we should either be working or joining the military preparing for the war.
>>57190927Women shouldn't be doing that either. If they aren't in the kitchen cooking their man a meal, then they'd either better be taking care of the kids or washing their feet.
>>57189841>>57190914samefag
>>57190927>>57190935Between the thirdies and the influx of literal children I can't tell if posts like this are bad trolling attempts or not.
being a collecting anything is barely socially acceptable
>>57189859okay so why are we supposed to hate this guy again
>>57189656Yes.
>>57190513The speculative bubble is bursting since it's so expensive nobody is buying anymore and the one that do half the time it's to resell. I was forced out of the hobby because of this.
>>57189656If you collect pokemon cards as an adult you probably don't give two shits about what is socially acceptable or not.
>>57189656no, bullying would have solved this. but alas here we are.
>>57190988I really wish this was true, but people are successfully scalping PREORDER items at triple MSRP right now.
>>57189656I specifically look down on adult Pokemon card collectors. There's already a shortage of them, leave them for the kids you fucking scalpers and manchildren.
>>57189656Why do I want the acceptance of judgy little people who micromanage other people's hobbies? For "maturity"? Those people act like middle school kids, matching them isn't mature.
i think collecting is less pathetic than gambling and "investing" in them personally, btw im correct
>>57189656>>57189656>not collecting charizards to sell to retarded mexipoor ESLs because they think owning a charizard is worth a year's rent in their failing dollar
>>57191036Who would want that? It's just Eevee with a stupid hat.
>>57189656The real question is why would anyone buy cards after gen 1?The low quality and uncanny art work of the original Pokémon cards were more soulful than the slop we get these days.
>>57189656No, but honestly who gives a flying fuck.
>>57193040>The low quality and uncanny art workTypical poketroon fagMaking excuses for Pokemon >Looks bad so it's good
