And I thought I was weird for buying Pokemon cards.
Interest shaming almost always sucks ass tbh. A lot of adults who are still into Pokemon are autistic. UlyssesT has been (correctly, it turns out) worried about the weird shit being turned on people for just acting in ways that aren’t considered “normal” socially which is like, inherently abliest?
So like, maybe come off it.
Most of that user’s post history is obnoxious like that, with a vague pretense of irony when called out.
Also it seems like Pokémon is a very mainstream card game these days. I see a lot of families with kids where the kiddos get cheap cards while mom or dad goes for the higher end stuff. It’s becoming an intergenerational hobby kind of like sports cards.
