I'M DONE WITH LABUBU HATE

 

how people shit on labubus is honestly such a weird hill to die on. like it’s a little creature with sharp teeth and big eyes. why are we acting like it personally wronged you. every time someone posts one there’s always a reply that’s like “that thing is ugly” or “why would you spend money on that” as if adults haven’t been collecting ugly little objects forever. trains. funkos. sports cards. literal rocks. but suddenly a labubu is where we draw the line. it’s giving selective judgment. and also like… missing the point. people don’t like labubus because they’re traditionally cute. they like them because they’re weird. slightly creepy. expressive. they have personality. not everything has to be beige and smooth and algorithm-approved to be valid. some people just like odd little guys. also the way people get mad about the price is funny. like yes. it’s unnecessary. that’s the point. joy is unnecessary. no one needs scented candles or stanley cups or vinyls either but somehow those get a pass. it’s just another example of how anything girly or niche or a little unserious gets dunked on immediately while other “hobbies” get called interests. if you don’t like labubus that’s fine. scroll. but acting morally superior because you don’t understand why someone likes a weird little monster says more about you than the toy. let people enjoy their strange little joys. life is already boring enough.
