If any of these points are angering or upsetting then I think it might be a sign of someone simply grasping this hobby too tightly.
Like it or not there's a bit of a dark side to this hobby, the potential subject matter and the temptation to go into debt to support the hobby regardless of subject matter. Both can be elephants in the room on devoted fan sites like this but should probably be scrutinized by each and every collector to prevent messing things up for yourself.
I agree and would only add "collect what you like but be aware that depending on what you like you may be preventing yourself from getting *better* things you like.
Whether or not any of this is true, it has nothing whatsoever to do with my point. Your original objection to this line was because it wasn't based on anything respectable. My point has always been:
A: Women don't care what the things on a guy's shelves are based on. They either care about the guy or not. They either find the artwork offensive or not. Hiding behind source material won't save you if you are a weeny and you have tasteless stuff in your house.
B: GG says they are working on a format to present the backstories. You can wait to see it, or you can make up your mind that you do or don't like it just from seeing what they have shown so far. You can always change your mind later.
C: Just because a statue on a guy's shelf is from a source that Khev has declared "respectable", doesn't make it any more or less likely to be of questionable taste. There are plenty of examples of Marvel and DC characters that make these look like choir girls.
I've said several times: let people have fun and collect what they want. It may have honorable intentions, but why do you care so much about the love lives of other collectors? Just because you say you are not "holier than thou" doesn't mean you don't come off that way. That's like saying, "No offense, but..." then saying something that is very likely to offend. That doesn't get you off the hook no matter how many winking emoticons you stick in there. Like I said to start. You sound like you have an agenda, and that is what prompted my joining the site to respond after many years of just dropping in to see what goodies other collectors had found. I've never even claimed to like these particular statues. I just get very suspicious when someone offers free advice to strangers about what women want.
Other than not having familiar source material, I'm not really sure why you have a beef with these pieces. I just don't get it. And I'm not sure why you would feel the need to tell others their love lives will suffer if they choose to buy them. Just seems really weird to me to split hairs so finely.
Maybe GG should offer a warranty: guaranteed to do no more harm to you in the bedroom than the Vampirella statue next to it.
In the end I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. I'm going back to having fun.
these videos always are the best!
