Hololive LOVE Ripping Packs, Old Man Doesn't Get It

Opening Pokémon cards on stream is supposed to be about the thrill of the pull, appreciating the art, and celebrating the hobby. The Contrast: The VTubers (Raora, Calli, Biboo): They actually care about Pokémon. They scream, they cry tears of joy, and they get incredibly hyped over cute cards regardless of their market value. When asked about selling a rare pull, Raora's immediate response is pure passion: "I would never sell this card ever." The Old Man: Turns his stream into a terrible episode of QVC. He immediately ruins the mood by declaring he is "destroying the value" just by opening the box. He proves he has never played the game by asking, "It's an energy card... Does that exist?" Instead of enjoying the art, he treats the stream like a pawn shop, literally holding the cards up to his camera and begging his chat to appraise them for him in real-time. The absolute peak of this grift? He starts chasing the "gacha dopamine rush" of ripping packs, but instead of just enjoying the hobby, he weaponizes it against his audience. Using the excuse that opening cards is "disruptive to the content," he sets up a massive paywall. He literally negotiates with his chat, holding the cardboard hostage for a $50 contribution per pack because "this box cost a lot of money." Three gamers enjoyed the hobby. One old man turned his stream into a QVC hustle to fund his cardboard gambling. Watch The Girls Open Cards:    • 【HANDCAM COLLAB】POKEMON TCG OPENING! WHO W...
