Now bear in mind that I have nothing against professional sports, but you can always point out to people that they watch grown adults play games with eachother if they look down at you for yoyoing. ---

This is the type of response I expect to get every time I take my yoyo out in public. Tbh I usually just ignore these type of people and let them think whatever they want, but id probably throw them a dig or two cause im low class that way 😛 ---

I’m homeschooled I have a flip phone I kendama and yoyo. so whenever I bring out one of these things out in public people give me weird looks but if that’s what if it takes to become a pro then I guess I’m going to have to live with it and that’s no problem just never stop throwing becuse of the haters that have no idea of what yoyoing can bring to your life!!! ---

There’s a seriously loud nerd alert going off in this room. Seriously though I’ve never been called a nerd since I only have insanely dope hobbies such as d&d, vhs tapes and return tops. Never touched a yoyo but I can see why you’d get called out for being a nerd for playing with one. ---

Also, since I am one, Imma talk trash. Consider my profession. I make a living working in a cold, bloody room spending my time cutting up dead animals. Now, I enjoy this work, mostly because I get to stay to myself and not be bothered by the unwashed masses. However, alot of meat cutters are _relegated_ to the cold bloody room because this is the only suitable place for them, because their people skills suck. Just sayin. ---
