Hey guys, what's up? I'm still on hiatus from posting daily, as I am still working on Outstanding Kinztubers, however today I have a bit of a rant, because I just want to get something out that has been bothering me a little.
Some of you may have seen the new Webkinz Signature revealed on Webkinz Newz yesterday. For those who do not know, it is the Webkinz Signature English Bulldog, the "fan favourite" dog that Ganz has been planning for a while now. Personally my opinions of this pet is that it is extremely cute, and a good choice on the part of Ganz. It is really nice to see some diversity. The new webkinz pets are great, and I really commend ganz on some of their beautiful new Signatures they have been bringing out for their fans.
Some fans have not been seeing it this way however, and it annoys me how hostile people act when talking about this subject. I have some genuine reasons why I am surprised by the way some people are acting.
Let me just point this out Ganz is not forcing you to buy their products, so if you don't like it... guess what? DON'T BUY IT! (Ok... shouty rant over hehe)
But seriously guys, do you really want to live up to the stereotype of being rowdy teenagers? Because some of the behaviour i've seen has been absolutely shocking, and I never expected it from some people. I am not hating on those who do not like the pet, this is not what this rant is at all, but to list the reasons why you hate something and then continue to bully people into hating it too, is not in the true spirit of kinztube, and down right rude!
Yes I understand that some of you guys wanted the black wolf... but seriously? Another wolf? I know that wolves are very popular in America, and that many people are completely obsessed with wolves, but coming from another culture, I just don't understand it. Wolves, from what I have researched, are from North America, so I guess some of you guys see them a lot, and love them, but us English folk really don't know much about them, and honestly don't care. It's just been really nice to see a couple of different pets out there, the moose being one of them. This to me sort of symbolises Canada and what type of animals live there, same with the English Bulldog, were you aware at all that the English bulldog practically represents an entire nation? I just love how ganz is including other cultures and geographical areas, it makes us international fans feel noticed, even though their demographic may be mainly North America. To me this is kind of special, and so I feel very strongly about it.
Another thing that gets on my nerves is how many people will become aggravated if they don't always get what they WANT, this word especially annoys me. Guess what guys? Life isn't fair, and you don't always get what you want, you can't live your whole lives in a bubble. For goodness sake! Step into the real world, I cannot believe how spoilt and down right snobby people can be about this stuff. Instead of buying a million webkinz, donate the money to charity, spend it on something more useful, start a new hobby, I don't know. It's ok to buy them of course, but don't feel like you are entitled to everything and ganz has to follow what you say! I highly doubt ganz is going to listen to a bunch of whining 11 years old, when they have a more mature fan base too.
Rant over.
But seriously...
