>>11904446>Also what community we talkingI meant the western Youtuber sphere, I'm not really speaking of actual people, I have no doubt loads of people are bothered, but the reviewers, podcasters etc. are being so insidious. Take Anthony Customs for example, watch his recent review of the Wukong, he starts off with his usual "muh objective, I'm gonna say how I feel, nobody can keep me down!" then proceeds to say shit like "what even is price REALLY? Something's worth is defined by your comfort in paying it!" etc. despite spending like 30% of every figure review harping on about the price/value proposition. He literally at one point, when talking about the price, reinforces how he is being objective and then instantly says price and value are subjective to each of us, it's absurd. Aspects he cries about on literally every figure he glosses over, like lack of torso articulation, can't look up, ankles and hands barely move, but it doesn't count this time, 9/10 and his insipid soft tone like he's critiquing his girlfriend's pottery, it's so pathetic. He isn't the only one I'm just using him as an example, they are all so desperate to be "in" with Inart or whomever, these same people who constantly (rightfully) bemoan McFarlane, Hasbro etc. for price changes just all communally completely ignore or downplay Inart's basically across the board 30-50% price hike (and it's all their figures, not just Black Myth).
It really reminds me of what happened in video game coverage a decade ago, remember the whole flying everyone to a God of War spa session in Sweden or some shit? Sorry I had to rant to someone about this shit, I'll shut up now. Also the figure looks gorgeous still, not a slight on it, they really went all out on that one.
