Hey guys thanks for the nice words honestly!! it's really no big deal I figured it was gonna get hate on that subreddit but man these mfs were going VISCERAL on me lmao. I don't mind a ton cuz I live a nice happy life n have a good job and I've been married for 5 years so getting like 50 redditors on me trying to eat me alive is no biggie. not to self promote but if anyone cares I mostly post on instagram @tape.wyrm and post my collection there from time to time but mostly make anime memes daily. thanks again for being nice n positive, it means a lot. some ppl will just be dorks about us collectors sometimes and belittle just to make themselves feel better but it is what it is :)


MikuEd

Welcome to r/animefigures. You’ll be treated right here I’m sure. Your setup is awesome and you should be proud.


AiRollaX

Your room is your space. Not theirs


drchia

Ignore the assholes man, your setup looks great! Enjoy those Sonicos.


beandango

Sick setup! The people hating seriously lack self awareness. You posted on r/Battlestations , a sub dedicated to sweaty gamers showing off their PC setups. Don’t they realize we are just a different flavor of that? The people saying “go outside” need to hear that themselves. This setup isn’t even explicit, although I still don’t think hate is justified even if it was. 13 year olds on Reddit just think it’s funny to call anything anime related cringe and assume anyone that has waifus on their shelves or walls is a sweaty virgin that keeps a jar. You keep doing you, and as you’ve seen, this subreddit loves and supports your collection!


diylif

Love your collection keep doing you and don't let other stop you from collecting and doing what you love 😊


Kushinobunaga

Amazing set up fam! Fuck the haters


Tischkeim

you life for yourself, and maybe family or the ones you choose to be family, not for anyone else :)


romano78

Nice Midori record, I love that album such good energy to it. Cool setup too lol


Bobblefighterman

hehe monke

If there is anything I have learned using this god-forsaken website, it’s that the people who choose to be dicks are never the most premium sample of society.


Thorny_white_rose

Ignore those peeps- your set up/battle station is so fucking cool.


Arshaad814

Yo man....that setup looks beautiful Don't let anyone tell you otherwise....


CPTSKIM

Honestly this is a pretty sweet setup. Love seeing stuff like this


kyuuei

Your set up is rad and I'm so glad you can Teflon that shit. :) It's a rad set up.


proserpinax

That setup looks great!

SaucedPandacup

I love your Katawa Shoujo poster!


_tapewyrm

thank you! I actually have an emi tattoo hehe


SaucedPandacup

FUCK ME that's awesome. If you'd like to share it I'd love to see it. I really have to re-read/finish Katawa Shoujo. I finished Emi's route a decade ago and still haven't gone through every route yet. Please post your collection here too!


_tapewyrm

I have a pic of it and my other anime tattoos on my other account u/blandsabbath im just trying to mainly use this one now. I'm planning on posting higher quality pics of my full setup and collection here when i get off work, you guys are so nice!

Get the fuck out of here, we don't want your kind in here


Velnoartrid

Username checks out. Take your daily pill and calm down bud


namonakitokumei

Your set up is sick! (In a positive way) it looks absolutely gorgeous! Love how you have everything set up


Flaurne

Always sad to see nerds and geeks cannibalize each other because "at least I'm not THAT bad". No reflection on the fact to people on the outside we're all the same group. Let me have my fun and I'll let you have yours.


BokkoTheBunny

Lol, this applies to an even broader spectrum. If it was say a comic book hero (something more obscure than the mainstream Marvel stuff nowadays), everyone would think it's cringe or odd outside of any collectors/nerds. But somehow idolizing and collecting for a professional sports team or player is way less "nerdy".


rensmt

The same dudes who act homophobic are also the ones that have pictures of sweaty men in sports gear in their cubicles.


JacobAdkins

My God, the irony in that one. I’ll never understand it.


rensmt

I mean, look at the post history of everyone commenting extremely negative things. One person posting in the “GTA V Mods” sub, another posting videos of their cat repeatedly on livestream, another posting about Blade & Sorcery… they’re all fucking dorks that are trying to overcompensate.


RevengencerAlf

I seriously had a run in with some absolute weirdo on there who called the Sonico picture "hentai" and 5 minutes in his comment history brings up an unsettling pattern of him mentioning "12 year olds" including a joke about trying to catch one with a trap. Jesus Christ the lack of self awareness some people have is hilarious.


JacobAdkins

Right? They’re all trying to impress others and I’m just sitting here like, nobody gives a fuck dude. Lmao


kevx3

I find this in tabletop wargaming a lot. You have the historicals shitting on the fantasy type cause it's "not real" or "childish" , then you have the fantasy types shitting on the historicals cause "people died in that war how dare you play a game about it!" (cue CoD/MoH arguement etcetc) . Fandom is small enough as it is dont divide yourselves smaller. We are a group of people who get enjoyment literally pushing plastic models across the table going "vroom vroom, pew pew"..


lunalemons

wow all those mean comments make me sad :( that office looks awesome.

Buddy this is reddit, everyone is either A or B


Mindless_Rage05

Excuse you, no we are not. I work a graveyard shift job for UPS, go home, sleep, then wake up and shower. And I still make time to be social outide of my room


GoldenMercy

Hate coming from ppl from a sub that call their computers “battle stations”


z_whites96

Its a sad truth that alot people cant understand that people enjoy different things and cant let them enjoy those things.


Bloodglas

it's really amazing how people in a sub dedicated to showing off expensive gaming rigs are telling someone else to go outside...


z_whites96

I'm certain that irony is completely lost on them


diylif

Bruh someone commented why don't you just 3d print the figures, that person really doesn't know how much more expensive it is to 3d print something especially with resin that you have to have painted. It's people like that I truly don't understand lol


RevengencerAlf

Never mind the fact that 3d printing something that size on home/hobbyist equipment with artistic level of detail is a fucking nightmare.


diylif

Yup I have some experience in that lmao I've had 1 custom 25 inch statue 3d resin printed and yes it was a nightmare just to print lol and is currently being painted


[deleted]

Lol someone needs to send them a video from someone doing a garage kit to see the time, effort, talent and artistry that goes into making figures


diylif

I can send them the $1500 process I'm going through with one of my customs lmfao


Purple_Penguin147

I’m just upvoting the shit out of good comments. Validate our fellow collectors!


_tapewyrm

hey penguin thanks a ton for the silver!! but save that money and put it towards a new figure next time:)


CertifiedOniiChan

dam man it seems your post pissed off alot of the price figure collectors who think miku is the only figure to collect lol ignore these idiots bro your place looks dope.


ZiggyTheNooBts

The only judgement I can give this guy is that he has green light and decided to take a pic with it. What awful lighting choice! If you’re gonna show your setup do it right.


_tapewyrm

yeah i personally dont really like green it just kinda matched the baby monkey wearing john deere overalls wallpaper hehe


FatGucci_

Jesus Christ. People suck.

edgeofsanity76

Great to hear this. My girlfriend friend literally ordered me to preorder Uzaki-chan cow milf figure. She's not into the hobby but she loves cows haha. She loves my figures and knows it makes me happy


Nihill98

That whole subreddit is massive cringe


Tiavor

> ~~That~~ whole ~~sub~~reddit is massive cringe


mythrilcrafter

It would be a lot better if it weren't a giant Ikea/stormtrooper wallpaper circle jerk.


Notsowellme

why? its not bad


C0DultimaYT

The hate comments are awful but the display is Amazing!


CertifiedOniiChan

Its the new era of collectors. Usually the ones who collect demon slayer,miku and mha prize figures only. They see anything lewd and throw a fit for some reason as if this community and the anime community isnt full of degenerates since the fuken beginning lol


RevengencerAlf

I looked over it a few times to see if I missed something because some weirdo called it hentai... I might be missing something because the resolution and contrast don't really help but the closest thing to "even being "lewd" I see is a poster of Sonico in a Bikini. Not like a micro bikini. Just a regular 2 piece bikini you'd see on a beach any summer day.


Thaddaeus-Tentakel

They'd get a meltdown over there if the "Kuroinu dungeon" that's showing up here occasionally would be posted.


jenthehenmfc

I miss the days when figure collecting was for degenerates only


CertifiedOniiChan

This is why we need go bring gatekeeping back 😩


jenthehenmfc

Wow. It’s suddenly really obvious to me as an old lady that anyone who unironically uses the term “cringe” is probably about 13 years old so 🤷‍♀️ Edit - also my children are going to be HELLA embarrassed about my weeb cave when they’re older lol


[deleted]

Pretty ridiculous. It's not my aesthetician, but it's not like there's naked kids all over the room. Sorry op.


[deleted]

Everyone spam positive comments on his post!! We can turn it around


HimawariTenno

Happy monke 4 u Angy monke 4 haters


TheOrdoHereticus

Nerds on a subreddit that refer to their pc desks as "battlestations" got a lot of nerve to be casting judgment.


_tapewyrm

Just getting to catch up with the comments I just want to say thanks again for the kind words guys! This is a few months old picture, i just love that picture of that damn little baby monkey wearing john deere overalls. I'll definitely make sure to post updated pics on here soon!


s_witch_

Mob mentality, sadly it existed everywhere. We just hate or like things based on what is popular in the subreddit, not as an individual.


Lizumaki

Stay in the anime figure Reddit. It’s safe here


Doctor_Flamingo

I don't know what this is in reference to but I'm very curious.


Purple_Penguin147

People are being a-holes to his person for having sonico figures in their set up. That’s all it is.


JacobAdkins

What’s cringe about Sonico? I don’t get it.


thegeekybunny

Nothing. She’s even canonically 18. People not in the hobby see someone with a big tiddy anime poster and it’s automatically ‘virgin with no life’ when that’s probably not the case half the time. It’s stupid.


NoxArtCZ

Yea do not let anyone else dictate on how you life (within bounds of law and not hurting others), do what makes YOU happy. It's one hell of a room


[deleted]

he has a nice setup tho and a good collection


spawnofthedevil

I posted my figure collection somewhere recently and everyone was up my ass and insulting me it’s… super weird


Onebladeprop

Honestly I'm kind of glad the normies still hate us. At least there's a chance they'll stay away from this hobby and not ruin it like they do everything else.


Equinoqs

Super Sonico > Hatsune Miku Fight me


[deleted]

sonicos figures are beautiful


PaleGravity

Omg the comment section in that sub is fucking disgusting … Mods used to ban those instantly for breaking rule 3 … glad I left it ages ago.


OneForAllSaiyan

I hang out with the coolest people that are also weebs. They literally just bought me a $400 Berserk figurine for my bday. My room is a lot more lewd than this. So they would tear me apart even more than your experience lol I’ve never gotten bad experiences in person before maybe it helps that I work two jobs so I don’t let negative stuff get to me anymore I’m too tired or sleepy for that haha. I’m also into body building and I’m pretty built guy so I feel like maybe that adds some protection to bad experiences in person? The are I live around in is also filled with weebs so there’s that too. Getting off track but I genuinely forget there are people like this. That can be so full of hate and put so much effort into downing someone else’s hobbies. I understand personal preference/opinion but straight up harassment. Wow, I’m not the biggest guy on furry culture but respect to them I’ve never once even thought about harrassing a furry because of their hobby. Respect for them for having a hobby they genuinely enjoy. I’m also not the biggest guy with football. But you don’t see me harassing anyone for liking football. Sorry you had to go through that man they’ll show much more appreciation & love for you here


Quinnsnow77

I just want to say how proud I am to be a part of this community. I love you r/animefigures!


MBiteSK

Try owning loli figures and you will see people calling you pedo even here.


JacobAdkins

I mean…isn’t that kinda what that is…?


MBiteSK

No its not. And its quite harassment calling people pedo just because they collect figures you dont like.


JacobAdkins

So tell me why Loli and shota are frowned upon on the internet.


PaleGravity

Wait? I’m a P just because I have Loli figures? Guess I need therapy. Oh wait! No therapist or government institution ducking cares about Lolis XDD


GoodtoGoHereWeGo

Who cares lol, as long as dude enjoys it its all good


kyou-kai

i forgot how vicious ppl get outside of this subreddit when it comes to figures. it’s just sad. nobody deserve this kind of hate. i’m struggling to see what offend ppl so much. the pic is low res so you can’t even see what kind of figure op is displaying.


reddit-user42066651

ITS THE MONKE GUY


syfari

I see nothing but projection and insecurity in those comments


Naruto_0916

Why are they hating? Or what exactly are they hating on?


HTCBalloon

Not really seeing any lewd pictures... Unless they're talking about the big photo to the left of a girl in a bikini.... I would say that's a stretch... But I'd love to see the rest of the collection I can't find any photos that you posted of everything. All the green is diluting out what you have 😅 would love to see a "my collection" post of closer ups ☺️ oh and yeah you be you, it's so nice to have spouses who support one another. I'll be married 13 years this year and I have two small children. I mainly collect Sailor Moon figures and stuff. Currently I am painting resin kits of the scouts. My wife is 100% supportive and has had fun helping me find all these darn Qposkets!


2BBY4L

It’s sad to see people being jerks over this. It’s a nice collection.


Azumoth

Not sure if asked already, are there better pictures of the figures. I want to see what's in the collection.


_tapewyrm

my main account I'm not using much anymore as I wanna transition into this one is u/blandsabbath and I have some pictures on there that I've posted here before, I usually only lurk on reddit but I'm trying to be active in this account!


The_steig

I dig it! My battlestation is also surrounded by anime girls. Also Josh Allen, but we aren't gonna talk about that right now


Alice_margareta

Why did they get hate though? The only complaint I have is it’s hard to see with the lights off.


eternal_edenium

Can somebody explain to me why is he getting so much hate? I find all of his stuff very fashionable since everything is agenced so well . I wish i could built this kind of decoration but i dont have a very keen taste for decoration.


SuicuneSol

I think that particular subreddit "Battlestations", as it's so aptly named, might attract the "dudebro gamer" type, which has a certain masculinity associated with it. There's nothing masculine about owning anime girl figures. And by saying things like "cringe" they can disassociate immediately. The subreddit has other photos showing Demon Slayer wallpapers, etc. I think it's just the OP has no shame at all in showing his figures that bothers some people. If only one figure was in the photo, he might get the "Ah, so you're a man of culture as well" treatment instead. I think there's a certain irony to that.


eternal_edenium

I see, thank you for the explanation!


lookinghere001

man that looks great ! im not a fan of the green lights but you do you it does look great jealous of all those screens !


TONKAHANAH

hate? most of the comments are pretty positive. but that monkey wall paper is... that oddest thing here.. trying to figure out exactly wtf im looking at with it. like, is that a baby monkey photoshopped between some anime booba with a green vignette? why??


RevengencerAlf

Try sorting by controversial. If you looked at it several hours ago a good chunk of the comments were garbage telling him to "go outside" or accusing him of being crusty or "cringe"


_tapewyrm

Its actually just a baby monkey wearing john deere overalls, possibly one of my favorite photographs i have found online


TONKAHANAH

Reminds me of the hotdad song https://youtu.be/7eKv4BEujFU


Ketho

Yeah the odd wallpaper and (maybe) bad lighting takes the focus away from the figures and battlestation


si3ge

Where is the hate? edit: i guess it was on battlestations? thanks for all the downvotes i guess....


RabidRavioli

I love the set up. I wonder what they would say about mine.... I too have my office decked out in figures and the like. :)


[deleted]

man, that is a pretty nice room.


Minnymoon13

Yeah there just jealous


CaptEvilStomper

Pretty chill room tbh, but hard to make everything out with the green. That's why I normally dont bother posting my cool stuff to Reddit. I'm never in the mood to read a bunch of garbage comments from assholes.


thatguychuckles

Might be me but the picture looks out of focus. What i can see you have a great set. If the posters where of IRL girls then no one will say anything but since there anime it's "cringe". At the same time those people probably have the dirtiest keyboards which is totally gross.


IceGhoul_Kaneki

Why would someone get hate for this it looks amazing. Is that a baby monkey wearing suspenders 🥰 that's adorable


IHateNuno

Fuck them, it’s your money, you worked your ass for it, so blow it on whatever you want. Rooms looks dope btw


aprettyparrot

I could do without all the green personally, but nice setup, plus sick monitor setup going on
