Logan Paul Makes Retro Gamers Rage With Epoxy Table Made From Gameboy Colors
Logan Paul once again did something that he knows how to do best: incite online rage. This most recent example came as a result of his continued foray into millennial hobby spaces. While previously he was the force behind a resurged interest in Poke'Mon trading cards, this time he used the Gameboy Color as his childhood connection. By coating several Gameboy Colors in epoxy, he was able to create a table, a not uncommon practice in hobby spaces. Unfortunately, the practice of using the out of production Gameboy Color has led to a lot of outcry online, as people were personally offended that he would deface and permanently ruin several consoles at one time for a vanity project.
While there were plenty of people going after Logan Paul for this project, there were also a lot of defenders of Paul, who began to counterattack those who were upset at his project. This often took the form of making generalizations about those who were made at Paul, or otherwise telling people to go touch grass in different terms.

He bought them (I suppose), so he can do whatever the fuck he wants with them.

Ok I hate the Paul brothers as much as the next guy, but you know the only reason this is getting so much hate is because it is a Paul brother. If it was some other guy who does this kind of stuff as like a content creation channel, people would think it was awesome

Probably were non-functional anyway. In a way, he's preserving them for future generations to look at. But anyway, if you buy something, it's yours to do whatever you want with it, no reason to get mad about it.

Paul should go back to searching dead people in forests, that was less cringe

As much as I loathe Logan Paul, they're his Game Boys and he can do whatever he wants with them.
It's not like Game Boys are particularly rare as far as retro consoles go, either. Do we know if the ones he used were even working? Because if he used ones that had dead screens that's even less reason to care.

Well a few decades down the line when precious metal shortages start to destroy society, those "toys" will be very valuable. But it doesn't really matter what state they're in, the government will eminent domain them all

The thing is that they don't seem broken, and even if they were parts could replaced or reused elsewhere.
Not only that but encasing in epoxy is bad for the environment, because first of all once this inevitably goes in the trash it will be too hard to separate. Also epoxy is really toxic once it starts to break down, as an example we currently have real world issue with old wind turbine parts poisoning the earth and water in dumps due to being made by composite resin structures.

No, please loathe both parties.
Logan Paul, who bought them specifically knowing that he's going to anger people for money.
