>>5962409Sorta, there are "branded" ko's which I appreciate, they warn you of their product and are always cheaper on average, these can be considered 3p, but sometimes its good to discuss, some of these are retooled or sold off as the real deal.
Then you get the fakes, the ones that only diehard collectors will know and leave you reeling, ko talk for the purpose of education is good.
>>5962411Instead of posting multiple images just a link, one image, and then people can ignore as they please.
The fact you responded shows you have an interest, an interest in hating.
The post going on right now are different, on one side we got someone who got dudded with a fake and only knew when researched, might be looking for options on what to do, since said fixes sometimes apply to the real things, so its helpful, sometimes some anons want cheap plastic and we're giving them an option, for outdated molds I see little harm other than keeping the manufacture alive.
Then we get simple educational post, comparing the 2, this isn't as bad as some people who glorify ko's to be utter perfection (although frighteningly enough, with mpp10 and its massive size, ko tracks and his rubber tires, and some ko mp10's having more paint than the actual takara releases its kinda scary).
Therefore, I perfectly understand your hatred for ko's, but we can't pretend they don't exist, people will drift towards ko's one way (by accident) or another (on purpose for army building/poorfag), least we can give them some warning before hand.
