I dont mind Transformers going mainstream. All the closet TF fans can now come out of hiding and openly admit that they like TFs which is to my benefit as i now have more avenues to acquire TF toys.
The only downside that i can see is that TF toys (and other merchandise) will be hiked up in price as it becomes an ever more popular brand name. Look at some of the other toys and see how cheap they are compared to TFs of similar size/quality/features. We are getting jipped big time just for buying "branded" goods.
But dont be shocked if there are some people that just put on TF gear and have no real interest in what they mean.
Take the Playboy brand for instance. Its really popular nowadays and yet if you see a chick in the street wearing playboy gear, you are not going to go up to them and assume they are promiscuous or willing to strip for money. Thats just not on.
Some things are just popular and hip at the moment and people buy into it. So some people are just like that.
Anyways, sounds a bit like dating Gok. You got balls for making the move and taking the first step. Its just too bad that you got shot down cos you read the signals wrong, that's all. hahahahahaha....
But seriously, if they want to reach out and talk to you about TFs then good, but otherwise respect their privacy. I'm sure that if they are true fans, they WILL find a way to communicate appropriately (eg. OTCA).
