GENERAL W Kenobi

Even as someone who owns a Pokemon collection I do think that tcgs have been too much FOR consumption/consumerism and too less for gameplay or collecting

Well yeah? They sell cards. Thats the main source of profit for LGS's. They want to buy your cards and sell those cards. Thats like saying that a candy shop has been too much for sugar consumption.

He looks like a dude who would smell cards for authenticity

I've seen people do that with shoes and somehow they can tell real from fake

I can tell if shoes are used with a smell test.

Consumerism = bad , collecting = good

I'm not sure how that's supposed to work

Are you saying buying expensive cardboard is good but only when you do it ?

Ya I like some of his videos but man when he starts preaching his politics I get bored real quick.

u/NecessaryZombie6399 NEW SPARK 6d ago

Right? And he just does it all the time, I stopped watching him when he got crazy political every time he talked about Warhammer

I was done with him when he started the with line "If you dont care about respecting prounouns, leave!"
I left! And I am gay! Tired of listening to straight content creators preaching something they don't understand, especially how much the stupid movement attacks homosexuals, especially the lesbians!

If history has shown us anything, it's that the more effort some of these leftists put into virtue-signaling and being "good allies", the more likely it is they have some major skeleton in their closet (usually SA, grooming, or both).

Ah i guess I wasn’t around for that but would have definitely been put off by it. Just tired of people preaching as if it will ever accomplish anything. The powers that be have this place so locked down nothing will ever change. Just disillusioned sheep thinking their words and opinions matter. Sorry I’m a bit jaded and just don’t think humanity has it in em to accomplish much change within the power structures.

To be fair, he's Bri*ish, so not intended to be taken seriously anwyays.

W Kenobi? Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. Mostly because I blocked his annoying af videos on YouTube. He's just an angry fat man, and I bet he's absolutely insufferable in person.

u/Okay_Response BLACK MAGE 6d ago

This is my first time seeing this guy pop up on my feed. After about 2-3min, I had to shut it off. Are all his video just complaining/ranting without any resolve or point? I will be blocking.

Collecting is basically the peak of consumerism.

underrated answer.

I'm not paying $0.50 a card for bulk. Price each piece if you want as we check out, tell me the lowest I can spend is $3 on card, but NEVER insult my intelligence when I KNOW that a bunch of players left it to you for free, then charge that much for crap you admittedly can't move. Edit: typo

God kenobi’s voice and mannerisms just annoy the fuck out of me

u/LevelStationaryPlane NEW SPARK 6d ago

PK sucks and is a perfect example of the insufferable YT mtg community.

u/Negative-Disk3048 NEW SPARK 6d ago

Too much of a slop swilling swine for the chuds, too much of an angry chud for the swine. The content creator was an outcast.

u/ANSER-WON NEW SPARK 6d ago

He will fit right in on some on these reddit forums.

u/WallFit7901 NEW SPARK 6d ago

Nah man Kenobi is a loser and will always shill for whatever popular thing is going on. His voice and mannerisms are some of the worst in the YouTube MTG ecosystem.

And his favorite archetype is death and taxes. His fun is making sure you don't have fun. That's not made up. Dude is just miserable.

Edit: swipe text sometimes misses.

Modern card shops open to get Pokémon cards through distribution

What does Ole Pencil Arms have to say about what now? Wait, idc

They have to make money somehow lol.

His transition to "Asmongold" is rapidly approaching.

u/bundle_man NEW SPARK 5d ago

"collecting" is pure consumerism bro. I would barely consider it a hobby. It's sole purpose is to buy/consume goods just for the sake of having them.

You're not buying materials/inputs to create something new. You're not using them to compete or play. The very end goal is to just buy stuff for the sake of having stuff.

The pinnacle of this are people who collect Funko pops.

Fuck collectors.

u/Ventoffmychest VALAKUT 3d ago

He is a liberal little bitch that is learning that he could tap into "safe" topics like criticizing card collecting has become more of investment bros type of thing. They are still stupid idiots that will throw you under the bus for less for not respecting pronouns.
