So yeah, the next colorways are too dope haha. ---

NathanC, grow some skin man… Why do you insist on coming into every general-yo thread and acting like this? If you don’t like it, go back to the TP, YYR, CLYW thread… or one of the YYR threads… we don’t come around threads with your preferred brand and start trashing your brand or it’s customers. Grow up dude, seriously. Are you in high school? Who are you trying to get over on? If this is how you get your ego boost, that’s cool… I guess… but it’s not really helping your reputation ---

I personally, enjoy the enthusiasm people have towards brands, players, materials, shapes, and sizes. I’m elated that we are all different in our likes and dislikes. I just wish we could all share our enthusiasm respectfully, without squelching the enthusiasm of others. I’ve always wanted to try a gen yo. I have been interested since the very first time I saw one. It has always been a pleasure to read what people like and dislike about the brand and each model. People with differing opinions is a good thing but why can’t we differ and still be excited for others? It gets tiresome, however I will indeed own a general yo someday and many others that many of you may disapprove or approve of. Does it really matter? I think not. ---

> [@NathanC](#): > > And this is why people can’t stand the General Yo groupies ^^^^^^ There might be you and one… maybe two others out there who “can’t stand” it… another one or two that could do without _any_ sort of brand-based fandom… So if by “people” you really mean yourself, then fair enough. Apparently you as a particular individual can’t stand them. But don’t make a statement as if you’re speaking for some sort of large group of people. Whether it’s Gen Yo, CLYW, YYR, or any other brand that seems to attract dedicated fans, most of us are completely ambivalent toward that culture of fandom. I couldn’t care less what brands people prefer, or if they like to talk about those brands. It affects my life less than almost anything else in the world. Don’t know why you would want it to rile you up like that! Take a breath, man! Get some perspective! It’s yoyos! Smile! Throw one around! ---

Whatchu guys talking about? General-Yo is great! Granted I’ve only owned a Torrent II, Majesty, and Model10, but they were all top-notch players. Not my cup of tea, but great yoyos nonetheless. I’ve been searching for a CLYW x illest Campfire since forever. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/e/a/beaf63c8a1f981c887faf304ad4e5f4748a52a00.jpeg) If anyone knows the whereabouts of one, please let me know 😢 ---

Well I’m actually on the team so I get updates on all the stuff haha. I don’t know how the others saw the pics though. I just thought I’d post about it because I’ve been giving Ernie advice for new colorways and I like the outcome of these new ones. I’ll let Ernie release the pics publicly, unless he asks me to post them. You’re pretty funny. But do you have a life?
