don't get me started: .....origami
Origami is straight up BS, and I’ve got three solid bullet points here for you:
1. Paper cuts. Let’s be real, paper cuts are one of the worst things in existence, and now you’re opening yourself up for a literal world of hurt. Getting fussy with the edges of paper? Don’t mind if I do! This is even worse when you buy origami paper, because that shit is even thinner than your normal printer paper, which means it can wiggle right in between your cells and just SLICE AWAY. This is a craft for CHILDREN. Don’t we CARE about our CHILDREN?
2. BUYING origami paper??? It’s PAPER. It’s coloured, thin paper. Sure it creases real nice, but as mentioned above, it CAN and WILL cut Timmy’s arm straight off his body. And it’s thin enough that if you even so much as sweat near it, the structural stability will abandon ship and now you’re handling a wad of mush and trying to fold it and you’re crying which is only making the mush mushierAnd it’s expensive, seriously, just use printer paper
3. SQUARES? SQUARES. I cannot count how much of my childhood was WASTED by making paper into squares just so that I could do this nonsense. Come on. Then you’ve got shit like the peacock pattern that uses a rectangle, and you’re sitting there in utter bewilderment because you just spent an hour and a half going through every sheet of paper in the house to make them square and now they want a rectangle, but not just any rectangle, one that is precisely the right dimensions to be impossible to cut without ten rulers and a laser cutter. And then some patterns have the ABSOLUTE GALL to use more than one sheet of paper? Greedy. Greedy origami artists getting their grubby fingers into your wallet, knowing you’ll be a chump and shell out the bucks to get the origami paper so that you don’t have to spend your life making squares that you may or may not even need for the dang pattern, just so they don’t have to use their brains to make the pattern work with one sheet like all the REAL origami greats do.
And some of them want you to use scissors? TOO LATE, we already removed EVERY SINGLE ONE of Timmy’s fingers via papercuts, he can’t even use scissors anymore. He just wanted to make a seal, and you rub it in his face. You monster.
