Why do people hold toys in their hands for pictures so much now? I swear I've never seen if until this year and ots so stupid.

scrub a dub dub caps in the tub

>ots so stupid
you ever wish /toy/ were better?

much like in porn when a dude has his dick out, his hands are there. much like a live stream when Hasan piker talks his hands are there. much like a video game when you're looking down the barrel of a gun, the player characters hands are there. it's all about perception and connection to the aidience, so idiots have this idea in their head they cannot relate to something without a human presence and thus hands need to be present to feel more relatable. it's why power rangers have head flipping gimmicks to show a human benift the suit. it's why superman doesn't wear a mask and batman shows his mouth. it's wrestling is so popular, there's emotion there and a face to put next to it.

>>11515717 (OP)
I think its just to piss you off.

>haven't seen it until this year
You've been living under a rock then, shit's been going for at least 3-4 years now.
>>11515730
Definitely an "unga-bunga just like me" aspect to it, same way simple desk shots with lots of shit in the background are popular. The only way genuine photography gets attention these days is if it involves meme/crossover shit that appeals to normies instead of just the toy community.

>>11515717 (OP)
I genuinely don't see why /toy/ shits it's britches about this so much. Who fucking cares? I say this as someone who takes pics with dioramas and lightning and all that jazz. But I'll never understand why some of you get so butthurt about it.

>I swear I've never seen if until this year and ots so stupid.
I think you're the retard. I can tell you're so mad about this you posted without spellchecking, like it actually made you so mad you submitted it in rage.
This anon >>11515845 is kinda right but it's something that has been going on forever. People used to send in customs to Toyfair magazine being held up by their hands. You're just autistic so you obsess over it

We would make bathtub posing the next trend

>>11515866
As far as i can tell, it's just third worlders who need to invent some brand new shit to bitch about, because they can't afford to buy toys and need something to do.

For whatever reason, they feel beholden to always post on /toy/, because they either have no other hobbies or are just autistic like that. So we're stuck with their inane musings.

Someone who actually enjoys their hobby is instead going to be posting about their hobby, their latest new thing, trying to share it with someone else, instead of doing what OP does.
I get it, sometimes you find some weird thing someone else does and want to point it out, but to create a thread about some innocuous or bring it up again after it was posted 10 months ago? crazy.

>>11515936
Not op, but I also despise it irrationally. I just hate the lousy trend aspect of it I guess. You have fat people with gross hands doing it like the op, or you have people spreading their fingers out like they're a hand model or something, it just kinda pisses me off.

>>11515866
There's a variety of factors for why people might not want to see it.
>unkempt nails, often with dirt or chipped skin
>fat, sausage finger hands
>brown and black hands
>bony skeleton hands
No one wants to see your disgusting monster claw when they're trying to look at a specific toy. Your beast paw isn't what they're there to look at.

Because not everyone holds their toys up their ass like you.

>>11515936
I will forever regret not buying those nids.

>>11515725
No I wish it was worse.

>>11515749
Its working.

>>11515936
>>11515901

Holy projection.

>there's emotion there and a face to put next to it.

Thank you I finally understand. There is so much emotion in this giant hand and definitively a face.

>>11515717 (OP)
Why do you want to ruin people's fun? What kind of pathetic miserable existence do you have that makes seeing this full you with rage and contempt?

>>11515979

>>11516068
Exactly. The hand is occupying more space in the photo than the toy is.

>>11515717 (OP)
>>11515717 (OP)
That image set was specifically from a guy playing with his toys in the bathtub, so due to whimsy the handposting is excused.

>>11516057
Someone photoshop it yellow

>>11516135

>>11516234
kek

>>11515717 (OP)
As >>11515749 said, I just do it cause it's fun when an anon gets angry towards this harmless thing. Plus, I like to feel the toy in my hands.

>>11515717 (OP)
It's not as bad as the people who spend more time showing themselves than the toys they're talking about.

>>11515717 (OP)
Why does Retrospammer post the same threads over and over?
Is it some sort of autistic *lock and they can't generate new thoughts?

Every fucking time. Every damned Indiana Jones thread and all the other crap this idiot won't let develop organically as they shit up the board with another damned thread.

>>11516234
perfectly encapsulates this thread and the one who created it.
