Which is why there is an entirely separate rule that declares 'no hotglue' If hotgluing was the issue, then they would have removed the statue rule when hotglue was made a rule.
no the real reason is closer to
>>7809979>>7806910This board got spammed with statue shit, people who just wanted to enjoy transformers and busou shinki didn't like having to see tons and tons of threads about some random waifu of the season statue. So the rule was made for the people who enjoyed playing with toys.
HOWEVER times changed, and Generals is now a thing. everyone needs to realize that back then, no one thought to do 'generals'. you just made a thread. whenever you wanted. So you often had threads dedicated to one specific figure that just came out, and since statues were being shat out constantly, you had constant statue threads. If you have no concept of how this could work, just pop over to 2chan to get a basic understanding of what toy use to be like thread wise.
We could make things work with a statueshit general as long as they STAY there. Personally i am under the feeling statues really don't belong on /toy/. They are decor, peices of art, you open the door up to them then what? it's fine to post lawn gnomes? Thinker? The Statue of Liberty? Where does the line get drawn?
I don't think people should keep having a conniption everytime they see a statue posted for acceptable contextes, but I don't feel right about them being 100% accepted either, its an odd confliction of feelings.
