Funko Pops, to me.
I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn’t work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there’s so much representation and variety that it’s good to have a few.
If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.
Trans people

Edit: it’s… sadly very easy to forget that you don’t deserve the hate, which is why I didn’t put this in my post. It’s something I’ve been trying to work through lately.
My first thought was this, and when I opened the thread your reply was the first response listed as well.
Yeah. I feel like they get so much hate because they are the closest symbol for “maybe things aren’t as clear cut as you thought”, and it freaks people out.
I think also some people who feel like they can’t be as openly homophobic as they used to be in the 80s/90s/2000s have just transferred their bigotry onto trans people instead because they think they can get away with it.

That’s not being a devils advocate, it’s just plain transphobia. As if trans people somehow have the power social power to choose the worlds attention.
You say hate is for religious reasons, and then blame the victims of that hate for the attention they’re getting from their oppressors, the very people you yourself just said are responsible for it.
And honest opinion or not, you chose to spend your energy undermining a trans person talking about our oppression, when you could simply have chosen to not do that. And that shit is creating the very problem you just blamed trans people for
