I'm sure it's the same in Japan though? For every hardcore itabagger there's a lazy one who just tosses random stuff on a bag and calls it a day. It's just how things work.

Then you've got the flipside where someone spends ridiculous amounts of money to create itabags they don't care about to show off and toss in a corner in favor of making another for the next big hype anime.(Yes, I'm thinking about someone in particular we all know and despise)

What I'm saying is while I think monetary dedication is a form of showing your love, you can have that same itabag spirit even if you're not drowning in merchandise. I mean for some fandoms it's really hard to find anything at all so someone that has a bag dedicated to a character that only has six charms on it? I'm not going to judge them because they might've spent months and a small fortune just to get those six items.

Even the Japanese recognize that people with small amounts of merch or hesitant looking bags are still itabaggers. It's just us in the West making up all these rules (as we always do).

A few threads ago someone posted a link to a Japanese comic outlining the different 'subtypes' of the bag.
