Japanese American here. I'm gonna say this rn, a bag is a bag. I'm usually not the type of person to say this bc I'm a Westerner in a way being born in America, but this type of 'Tourism' in a way is insane. Again, A BAG IS A BAG. IF IT DOES ITS JOB, IT DOES ITS JOB!!
Ita bag means painful bag, it's painful because of the time and cost of merch to fill the bag. Any bag with a pin window can be an ita bag, putting pins on the bag itself without the window does not make it an itabag (it's also a way to easily lose merchandise so don't do this) All an ita bag needs is a see through window, that's it. Even a cheaply made temu bag can be an itabag, it will be a lot less durable but still an itabag as it has the window.
I thought the og video was so mean and spiteful to small businesses. An itabag literally just means any bag with otaku/nerdy merch in it. Nobody is doing it "wrong." I am an otaku yumejoshi (my oshi is Gintoki) and I have been decorating itabags for 4+ years. I am 100% sure actually Japanese otaku could care less about the whole thing. Do what you live
Also the person in the first video reads 🍇 and pdf file bl manga and is an asian baiter along with a ton of other stuff. Overall just a general weirdo.
As someone who has a "ita" bag and carry it around everywhere, this sorta take that person gave is so DOGWATER and especially elitist. My Ita bag not only celebrates my multiple interests, as I have pins for several of my interests in it, but the take itself is just classis. Not everyone can afford to make a super duper organized Itabag that follows the "standards" of rules, or even sadder, even have interests that have merchandise that someone can fill a ita bag with in the first place. One of my biggest interests is Project Moon, and it's hell on earth finding merchandise for it, so atm I only just have a SINGULAR pin for it. Would it be nice to have the sorta ita bag she's referring to? Yes. It would. But it does not mean that everyone can be able to do so and that everyone HAS to do it.
Imagine gatekeeping a BAG because people are using it for what it’s meant for 💀 that’s like looking at someone writing on a piece of paper and then going “erm actually that’s a piece of criggleflaggle 2x paper you can only use that to make hyper realistic drawings of your mothers left pinkie toe ☝️🤓” like be so for real
Tiktok is literally the worst app out there, it's worse than 2020-2021 twitter and 2015-2016 COMBINED, it genuinely makes me have less hope with this generation
Personally I’m not really into the over and over design of the same button, I like some of them but it’s not really my thing I do like stuff like if it’s different buttons or like if you mix pins in it. The Mami one is a prefect example of ones that catch my eye, but I never knew of all my years that there were people who gatekeep ita bags I learned something new.
we’re fighting over ita bags now? 😭 i have an ita bag i made after my fav enstars unit, and it just has assorted pins and keychains i’ve collected of the characters, some bracelets i made with their names, and some handmade character stands i made out of cardboard in it (the bag was 15 bucks off amazon) and I love it so much! I also have another one with a mix of all of my interests and I carry it around all the time. Ita bags don’t gotta be boring, repetitive, and expensive. They’re supposed to be bags that show off your interests, and anyone can make them.
Not only is it gatekeeping but I'd much rather have a pin bag full of unique and cool pins than the exact same pin of a random anime character over and over it's very boring imo. Ive also seen people being elitist about getting official pins when not all of us are making bags for very popular characters some of us are making bags of more obscure charactere and franchises that have no or very little official merch
I didn’t even know this was a whole different type of bag. I got one because I’m sick of losing my pins and having them get damaged. People are insane!
I can imagine sunny would have an aneurysm if she ever saw me with my ita bags. I've made 3 ita bags with small windows and I change my pins for the event I'm attending or what cosplay I'm wearing. I have a small heart one for magical girl pins, currently it has creamy mami pins and keyrings, some of them I made myself.
im getting an ita bag and making it themed after the end of evangelion. not themed after a certain character. im kinda afraid people would judge me saying its not an ita bag if its not based on a singular character lmao 😭😭
Oh! So that's what those bags are called! I have seen people with those bags in public and thought they were pretty cool. One problem I have with the ita bag is the window turning yellow and dirty overtime. It can be useful for keeping pins and merch dry from the weather but transparent materials can become dirty and cloudy. How do people keep the ita bag's window clean and prevent it from turning yellow? In other words, how do I maintain an ita bag?
Imagine being so bitter that you'll crap on people just having fun and speaking for an entire culture that you're not even a member of for superiority points. I went through 2016-2018 tumblr discourse but TikTok is so much worse
as a multiple ita bag owner… I agree with everything here! at the end of the day… it’s just a bag to display cool stuff LOL :,D *+side note but your sona is SOO cool?!*
I'm kinda infuriated abt how theres a mami itabag on the thumbnail as a madoka magica fan and I don't want to be lumped with the toxic ones. As a person with an itabag w many different characters / fandoms, an itabag is just a bag with a window so you can decorate it w whatever u want so not all itabags have to be Japanese stuff.
that dumb to the point that one of the people who started it is asianfishing and the second one makes fun of poor people while saying that "their parents supply them with their money"

It is called being toxic. The optimal route is to keep it in your head and move on instead of posting a weird take hating on people for being happy.
"Westerners wanna force themselves into Asian shit..." said the westerner gatekeeping an asian trend...
And also was outted for asian fishing...
Yeah she'd squint her eyes to "look asian" 💀
Ijbol as an asian(not a Japanese) I always find it funny whenever a westener say hit like that
Even if they were Asian it’s not excuse to be rude. Ita bag or whatever it is pretty populer in SEA but even they’re not pressed about it that much 💀
