I honestly don't get the problem. If they had read the book, it should be obvious that throwing away "useless"(as in utility) stuff isn't the point of it. Sure, Marie presses hard, but she doesn't compel you to throw away things you like, just the stuff you think you like or you liked or may like in the future. In general, things that have no purpose being in the house.

Calling her store a site full of junk shows just how much some people got out of the book. I mean, she is just selling some novelties and if something on there sparks joy for someone, that's their business.

This utility only, multitool, male fantasy kind of minimalism that people want to believe Marie is all about is honestly very annoying.

It's the same simplistic interpretation of financial frugality, or just plain old sound money management. People like to present is as hair-shirts and gruel, and depriving yourself for no reason other than the accumulation of wealth for its own sake. But the whole point of good money management is so that you have the money to spend on the stuff you really care about, rather than wasting it on that which you don't.
