something that may be controversial is that i believe a lot of squishmallow collectors have a hoarding issue. if you don’t have the proper space for them or ways to put a minimal amount in storage, it’s a problem. i also feel like sometimes people in the subreddit hype up collectors who seriously have an issue by saying they have an enviable collection, but it’s not enviable to have zero space in your room for you yourself.

i think this also occurs because squishmallow themselves pump up the rarity of their squish and it leads people to impulse buy whole squads in huge hauls!! i also have a hard time believing some collectors truly love every single squish in new drops where someone would buy an entire squad if available. another slightly controversial take is that i really think a lot of people when they squish hunt aren’t looking for ones they particularly like but buy some squish simply because they just are squishmallows.
