Plagued Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

Did you read the tweets? It's just a bunch of ramblings about the patriarchy™ causing the dystopian nightmare in the anime. Feel free to try and make sense of the insane twitter rant: https://archive.md/R5yNT
No pegging in the anime, but you know that the mecha cockpits offended them:

does this nigger know that America isn't the center of the world and it's Japanese media made to be consoomed by Japs? No I have no fucking clue what was trying to be said in that rant. Was Chapman trying to say that Japan is socialist? Huh?
 
And I thought people going all out consoom mode with Valve games, i.e. DOTA 2 and TF2 cosmetics, and CSGO weapon skins, was :lunacy: enough, compared to this. Heck, I thought people trying to collect the entire car roster in racing games (namely ones that have additional cars sold as DLC) was :lunacy: too.
Those people are arguably worse if not for the fact that they supported Valve's business model and eventually became so normalized in their respective communities. It also got worse when you factor the websites actively housing scammers and such and as you would expect, the most expensive skins would have around $10,000+ costs.

In addition, F2Ps who want to get those cool skins/hats will have to fork up cash to even be a part of the economy. You'll be either stuck with just weapon drops of the Consumer-Grade level degree or have a debt of thousands because you spend it all on case drops. Shit like this should have to be earned through ranks and gameplay, not an in-game casino.

I do not give a shit if its cosmetic, the moment you support gambling mechanics, you are an automatic consoomer. Deal with-fucking-it.

UPDATE: apperently the $150 lego "queer eye" set's price got changed to $100. I still don't see the value.
Holy fuck lmao, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Lego backpedal on a price tag like that, THAT drastically. They knew it was a fucking rip-off.

Even at $100, it still doesn’t change the fact that the design and build is objectively worse than the previous “apartments from X show” sets with the sole exception of the Big Bang Theory one, which gets a pass for being (I think) the first one.

Lol, imagine giving a shit about what a soulless corporation deems to be canon. If you like something, why should you let Disney tell you how you should enjoy it? People used to be content to write fanfiction and have headcanons, but it seems like these consoomer fuckheads can’t be happy unless their beliefs are affirmed and validated by the corporate bureaucracy.

Why not just go all the way and say "I just can't enjoy The Empire Strikes Back knowing that Disney's stock price is down this month"?

That seems to be the inevitable logical conclusion of their creepy relationship with giant media conglomerates.
 
Oh yes. People on retro gaming boards are even spending thousands on crt sets so their games can look as shitty as possible. All for the *purest* retro experience.
Nah, there's purpose to that. Timing-intensive games were designed to be played on CRTs, so you really need them for rhythm games like DDR and Beatmania. Fighting game players use them for their frame-perfect inputs, and even games like Mega Man heavily benefit with how tricky some of the jumps can be. Then you've got light gun games, which flat-out don't work on HDTVs at all, and there's never been a good replacement. Even lightguns designed for modern MAME cabinets use a lame Wii remote knockoff that isn't the same at all. It doesn't feel at all like a lightgun, it feels like a mouse.

Still seems very nitpicky and specific. I think is cool if you still own your old crt or found one in a flea market, same as with the games themselves, but watching crt threads its crazy how it becomes way more autistic than that.
 
Looking at these posts with rooms chock full of worthless plastic that are "owned" by these "collectors" is that all of them seem to be in the far right end of consoomerism. I say this because a normal collector would be fine with not owning that particular item for a while, since they can always look for it later. As opposed to every example in the thread were they NEED that pikachu funko, that rare pull on the typical gatcha game, that pink Sailor Moon figurine RIGHT NOW, FUCKING YESTERDAY.

Worse than CRT'S are these abominations.

These are professional CRT'S. These seem to be the bread and butter of autistic retro videogame collectors. It's not just about getting the thing and be done with it. No. They need the CLEAREST picture to play their dying old snes. It's ridiculous.

I think there are like a couple brands in Asia still fabricating crts and they cost like 500$ minus shipping, don-t know the specifics, just seen that mention and boy, just look at that 678$ shipping rate lol. So crazy to think that barely a few years ago retro gaming was super chill, cozy and humble compared to everything else in gaming. A whole set up with console, a bunch of games and crt was stuff you could get for a few bucks and potentially for free at some goodwill.

At least those monitors will be used in some way, you can't say the same thing for all those consooomers that fill an entire room with funko pop and marvel figures to collect dust.

Dear Faggot.

Iron fist was the best of the Netflix Shows (outside of Daredevil Season 1 but Daredevil became a fucking shit show halfway through season 2) purely because it was only boring and tepid instead of boring and awful, but cutting it out of the MCU would be worth it to see The Dyke Lawyer from Jessica Jones out of the MCU because that Cunt was more Evil than Thanos.
