Omega Emote is Tasteless

[Awha]

My financial decisions are not poor, and they are none of your business. The only right you have to comment on my financial decisions, is based on the information I give you.

You okay man?

Showing everyone you paid $200 USD for a statue with no worth in-game and an emote that you can idle with? That's a status symbol? You've got weird priorities, mate. If I saw someone with it I'd just say "oof" and keep walking. I spent that much on a custom controller, and someone spent that same amount for an emote? I'm not jealous of that at all, lmao.

This is the quote can be viewed as you mocking people for their purchase. May not have been your intent but it can be viewed as such.

....A luxury item with subjective value? I have arthritis. It's literally because I have a chronic illness, and the stock PS4 controller hurts my hands because of the placement of the left analog stick, among other things. Why are you getting so angry at someone for explaining that they spent the same amount on a controller for disability reasons that someone is whining about having to spend to get an emote. I don't care if people spend that much on the statue as a collector's item, that's their choice, and I'm not "mocking" it. I'm mocking people that whine that other people have an expensive emote that they want.

Boy, people on the forums here really like to twist things. You're really good at it. Imagine saying accessibility is a waste of money and a "luxury".

Also for many accessibility products can be seen as a luxury since depending on the quality and impact on the person's life they sre sold at a premium. I do get where you are coming from but many accessibility products that could change the lives of many in need cannot be afforded by many. So in the modern sense they could be seen as a luxury item. Even though I disagree but I will not say the indoor elevator lift I installed for my father in their house is not a luxury.

For many luxury does not equate nessesaity.

You're right, it doesn't. "Luxury" is usually equated with something that's enjoyable, but not required. You contradict yourself with that statement. I do need a different controller to be able to play comfortably. It's expensive, but not a luxury. I also can't help but notice you didn't agree or disagree with them saying it's a waste of money or "subjective". Convenient. Just fixate on what I said and not them saying accessibility is a waste of money.

Either way, if you actually read the part of my post you quoted, you'd see that I mocked people that bought it solely for the emote. I also said that I don't believe buying the statue as a collector's item is a waste, just that buying it solely for the emote because it's a "status item" is. You know, the OP's entire point. Don't bother quoting me about what I said on a specific subject if you're not going to include everything I said.

You know what is a luxury? Spending $200 USD on an emote. Not required, but potentially desirable by some. Not needed to play, gives no gameplay advantage, etc. Actual luxury. Different from a tool for accessibility, no matter the cost.

I was in agreement with ya I do not think it is fair or should be seen that way. Just the reality of how people view it though. I said for many luxury does not equate necessity. Even if it is necessary for you some may not see it that way. Like with the lift I got for my father. For many that may seem like overkill but for him it was life changing. Though I will not say the lift is not a luxury item cause it is not many could afford to put an an multi tier lift in their home. Your other quote is kinda irrelevant cause the part that was quoted could be seen as mocking others.

Just because you changed your tune does not change how one could view what you first said as mocking. In the end necessity can be seen as subjective, for some a car is a luxury item but for others it is a way of life. For many people in the US healthcare is a luxury even though it is a necessity.

I didn't "change my tune", I elaborated. I did not change my stance. And yes, it was mocking, and still is. Paying $200 for the emote alone because you think it will make others think you're cool is stupid. People spend huge amounts of money on items to collect them, and that's a separate thing that I'm not referring to. I spent $40 on a single Pokemon card once, because I like to collect certain ones. Paying $200 USD for a statue because you like to collect them is not what I'm referring to. How many times do I have to rephrase it for you, despite saying the same thing every time?

That is the thing you are mocking someone for how they spend their money yet you have admitted to spending money on items that others may need unnecessary or stupid. Don't you see the comparision that can be drawn from that? Sure it your eyes it may seem reasonable but to someone else it may not.

The reason why someone buys something is kinda moot cause we truly cannot know for certain why someone bought something so mocking them for something we cannot confirm or deny is kinda silly don't you think?

This is a simple case of one should watch what they say if they do not want it to be taken out of context cause your first post was straight up mocking people for a purchase that you personally view as dumb. Then you get defensive when someone mocks a purchase that you have made they think is odd cause your reasons hold merit while others may not. I get your purchase for your controller is a necessity but still does not mean for some else it may seem silly, or a waste of money etc . . . And it seemed like you did not like when someone called your purchase odd because of your own personal reasons so if that is the case maybe you should not mock or call other people's purchases odd stupid or whatever cause you believe to know the reason why.

Even people that buy items just to flex they may also do it as a means to make themselves feel good. One can disagree and mock others spending habits but let us not get defensive when others disagree or mock our purchases.

All this coming from a gunpla nerd. I pay a exsporentant amount of money to a company for the right to put together and paint my own figures.
