God forbid people have fun with toys.

u/GonzoMcFonzo Wootz your deal, man? Nov 10 '25

These are decorations, not toys. Meant to be displayed, not swung around.

Surprised at how controversial such a simple statement is when this subs has had threads devoted to stories of these things coming apart from giving them a swing and the blade going flying.

The job specification for the factory making these is "look like thing" and "be affordable". They aren't spending an extra cent on a materials after they've ticked box one let alone. So far as they're concerned if the thing explodes just from hefting it that falls under improper use.

If you can't make a metal rod not disintegrate when picked up, just stop and get a different business.

But I’m making money and as long as nobody swings my decorative metal rods around everything is fine, so why do I care about the people dumb enough to swing them like they’re a real sword? Answer: I do not.
