If two grown men can't make a pervert happy for a few minutes in order to watch a film about zombies, then maybe we should all just move to Iran!

Ask him who won the Grand Final last year, he wouldn't know. Hand him a cricket bat and he wouldn't know which end is the handle. Tell him you've started experimenting using Coriander in your home made spaghetti sauce, he will look at you blankly. Or start describing the problems you had changing the flat tire on your new car, or the exhausting joys of caring for your newborn and you are confronted with a glassy eyed faraway stare
Everyone stares glassy eyed at me when I talk to them about cricket or coriander, it must be their He-Man collections' fault.

Yeah, grand final, cricket, and coriander, plenty of people who aren't toy shut in's might give you a bit of blank stare with those topics.

Now if you want to start a conversation anyone should be able to relate to, 17th century surgeries is where it's at.

Not gonna lie, kid me would've killed for all the MOTU and Star Wars stuff in this room.

At least the guy has a dog, which means he has some semblance of a life, so I really can't be too hard on him.

What frightens me more is that in 40 years' time people will post videos of their basements filled with wall to wall Funko Pops and people will go "Not gonna lie, kid me would've killed for all the Funko stuff in this room".

Funko Pops should really have a safety mechanism built in that if there are to many collected in one spot they gain sentience and killer their owner.

By too many I of course mean like anything over three or four.

Very easy to do by adding a minute amount of radioisotopes.

That will require a significantly higher amount of radioisotopes, but it can be done.

People spend money on all kinds of poo poo, and capitalism is delighted to facilitate any of it for the right price. I guess my feeling - and what makes me pull a sour face in thinking about it - is that it’s so inert. These aren’t toys to play with; they simply sit, so a guy who’s (hopefully) got mountains of positive memories about these things can have their most passive possible representation stare back at him. It’s showing off membership in a club of nostalgia, and at this point in my life I’m pretty intent not to wallow in that, so yeah, to put it diplomatically, it’s a choice I would not make.

To clarify, I don’t care that the guy collects and displays things. It’s the regressive, stunted nature of it that’s cursed. Grown rear end adults who go insane lengths fetishizing their childhood creepy me out. To me, that’s a person totally uninvested in the present and, by extension, the future of the world. Nostalgia is the drug of the cowardly.

Be sure to read the comments as well

White supremacists and many drug dealers in the inmate population view sex offenders as the new "n******" of the prison system and they treat them as such. Sex offenders are beneath everyone else. Black inmates no longer have the dubious honor of being the group at the bottom of the rung of prison life. They have been replaced by sex offenders,

So… that’s progress right? Now you are getting denigrated due to your actions instead of your skin color?
