Dumb Florida Moron won... for now

Toys R Us has sadly, caved in to the demands of a SMALL group of  Citizens United Negating Toys For Adults @ Retail Toy Stores. (Yes I took a page out of Rockstar games and made a ridiculously long term for people criticizing stuff.) I mean REALLY Small since they collected 9,299 signatures in around 10 days. (going from the updates on their petition until they stopped on October 22nd) and claimed victory.

Meanwhile, the KEEP Breaking Bad toys at Toys R Us got 1,000 Signatures on the 19th was at 17,328 around 6:20 AM EST Yesterday. As of 2:54 PM EST Yesterday, the signatures reached 35,642 and growing!! That's 3.86 more times the amount that Angry Mom got in roughly HALF THE TIME she did get her measly 9,299 signatures.

Why is Toys R Us caving in to a small group of people who AREN'T CUSTOMERS of their stores?

OK, I'm not a fan of Breaking Bad or the toys and this worries me. This is an attack on Adult Collectors. I mentioned on a previous rant that this is NOT the first time this has happened and it's likely to NOT be the last time.

We have seen craptacular pieces of media going on. Like the turdguzzler that made fun of adult collectors, yet has a hard-on for LEGO bricks and defends adults playing with LEGO bricks. On the videogames side we have the whole Gamergate issue, where Social Justice Warriors and game "journalists" have decided to attack gamers and call all gamers "misogynists" thanks to the actions of a few a-holes. Now we have mainstream Media, once again making fun of Adult Collectors... I mean, didn't they had enough after mocking the Adult Male fans of a certain show whose Core Audience was meant to be Little Girls?

It's a systemic attack on "non-traditional" hobbies for adult males. The idea that Adults are spending money on videogames and toys seem to bother these people to no end. I LOATHE Football, but you don't see me trying to take the NFL down. Just because I don't enjoy it, doesn't mean that NO ONE can enjoy it. Same thing with the Breaking Bad toys issue. Today is Breaking Bad, Tomorrow it can be Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, GI Joe, or even He-Man.

Hopefully the petition to keep the toys will convince Toys R Us to bring them back... Seriously, 44,444 signatures (as of Friday Oct. 24th 11:53PM EST) and still growing in 5 days. Seems that every time I revisit this post before actually posting it, the signatures keep piling on. This goes to show the number of Adult Collectors that Toys R Us may not be getting business from that overshadows the number of people who ARE NOT Toys R Us customers and are "outraged" by Adult Collectibles being sold at a toystore with an ADULT COLLECTIBLES section.
