Idk, I’m not opposed to the convention/giant yoyo-club aspect, as much as the actual competition itself. I’m not big into competitions in general. There is too much going on for me [personally] to get into them.
Not saying they are irrelevant or unimportant, just not my cup-o-tea
fair enough. It’s competitive or fun, not enough room for both.
Best flex: win while having fun. That’s why I love Evan’s 2018 win
Flat bearings arnt bad.
-No matter how much people hate the yoyo you have, if you like it and it’s fun, then you like it and it’s fun. Their opinion shouldn’t sway yours about it.
-Any clean bearing is fine
-Having fun should come first, not competitiveness (it really shows you know)
-Using glove(s) or tape doesn’t make you less of a player
-Just do what you want really, buy the things you like, as many as you like etc. It’s a subjective hobby so have fun.
Centering bearings are only for beginners … the DV888 is a great throw (i likes the one I messed with)
There is still a lot of love for responsive and fixie play.
Whoa…what did centering bearings ever do to you 
Nothing just an opinion I heard that is obviously unpopular lol. I have about 50/50 in my throws.
Doesn’t Evan Nagao play with a Center Trac bearing? He’s the furthest from a beginner as you can get. Seems to me this opinion isn’t just unpopular, it is demonstrably incorrect.
I’m fairly confident everyone that competed at worlds finals used a centering bearing of some kind. Only one that might’ve used a flat is Ethan Cheung and that’s just cuz he’s on OD but I think even he most likely swapped to a centering bearing
true true but have you tried hot pink? 
it’s the lasting impression. End lame and you feel lame. Even lame tricks are redeemable if you blow the bind out of the water.
Finger spins are rubbish.
Why do you use the yoyo emoji at the end of every post?
not everyone knows it exists. I’m can’t waiting for it to exist everywhere else
I don’t agree with the hyphen tho
no u
Is this an unpopular opinion?? I’ve never heard anyone even suggest that gloves make you less of a player.
I’ve seen some people be like ‘‘Just get used to the burn’’ and some new players not wanting to use glove/tape because of reasons (might be because they see people playing bare in pretty much every video, not counting some pros, or they don’t actually want to, idk).
I thinks that it’s not just seen as ‘‘cool’’ y’know.
I’m fairly new to the scene, so I have a very tiny sample size, so it might not be an unpopular opinion.
I really don’t know. So I put it up there just in case just as a reminder.
Common decency. Clothe yourself.
Throwing up a peace sign with a yoyo in-between your index and middle finger…makes me feel some type of way 
That’s fair, I definitely agree that gloves aren’t the norm.
I was honestly wondering if there was a general consensus on glove hate that I didn’t know about 
I personally only use gloves if my hands get sweaty, or if I have a cut on my finger I want covered while throwing.
