Thank you @yyfben2.deactivated, sinophobia is becoming an increasingly large problem in America. This obviously goes far beyond yoyos, but in general it leads to people making uninformed statements about China. Saying Chinese yoyos are bad can only come from sinophobia, as if someone has any experience with yoyos they will know Chinese yoyos play the same and are just cheaper to manufacture. Every thrower has Chinese manufactured yoyos they enjoy. There is no way to justify this opinion besides blind hatred towards Chinese things. This issue also definitely turns into hate for Asian people very easily when people go around making assumptions that Chinese things are automatically bad.

Does anyone truly know Yoyos though? I have dedicated my life to studying the ancient language of the yoyo. Yoyos are devices of communication and each has a story produced by their own wavelength proton protrusions via particle acceleration with the bearing zone that transmits it’s radiation to the outer bevel of density pragma.

Idk I’m trying to be big brain like some of you

These “unpopular” or “worst” threads just bring out the negativity. I come here for a positive escape, where are the Positive Opinions Threads, from the folks who think the glass is half full, the encourageable optimist. All Yo-Yos are fun, they are designed for “Play”

I agree and I do not like “worst” threads but unpopular I like because to me it just means an opinion that goes against the grain and that CAN be done in a civil way without making anyone feel bad or name calling. If anyone is in their 50s like me and remembers Andy Rooney’s segment at the end of 60 Minutes (TV show) where he ticked off a list of his pet peaves every week. It was funny. I love reading people’s random opinions that don’t fit into other threads. This is the only thread I get excited about when I see it’s got updates. A lot of other threads are extremely predictable. The recent heated back and forth here troubled me a lot though because I don’t like reading arguements and knowing people are getting really upset and angry. This CAN be a fun thread!

Agreed. I was stirring the pot a bit also. It is opinion only. As Captain Kirk noted: There is no accounting for taste. If you had a Draupnir and did not like it; you are a rare beast.

Yeah; I do not know where to start here. This kind of reasoning shows that dis-information is hardly confined to politics.

Please refrain from insulting people; especially when you are completely wrong on so many levels.

I totally agree with you. I will support made in America products but if something is made in china I don’t mind. Hell it becomes cheaper to buy. Also if you buy from an American company that gets the yoyo machined in china but finalized here, that’s basically like American quality control. Like 90% of the stuff you use in your daily life is made in china. I’m fine with the things I use. They get the job done. So I don’t think yoyos would be any different

Yes, that is true. But I wouldn’t agree that psychology is basically pseudoscience. There has been plenty of empirical evidence that supports the theories in psychology and scientist have been able to reproduce the various studies supporting those theories. Reproducibility of a result is a big part of the scientific method. However, Emoto’s experiment cannot be reproduced to obtain the same results, which means that the experiment is flawed and the results cannot be proven. As such, it is deemed as pseudoscience.
