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

I actually do something similar by watching scary movies for Halloween too nowadays. I agree with you there, I admit, after college, it is kind of hard to celebrate Halloween, especially you live in a place that doesn't do trick-or-treating so you can't wear a costume and hand out candy whether it is a shitty apartment or a house in the middle of nowhere or off the beaten path or a shitty neighborhood because what I found in recent years is a lot of kids have their parents drive them to the rich people neighborhoods because they give more candy.

When you are in high school and college even though you are too old for trick or treating, there are usually still a lot of parties to go to, but when you are an adult with not a lot of friends or don't have kids of your own to take trick or treating with and dress up, it is hard to find some way to celebrate Halloween. I'd imagine it would be the same way for Christmas if you don't have any family or friends to celebrate it with so you are stuck consooming to try to get some sort of semblance of celebrating.

One of the reasons I think there's been a sort of taking off of things like 31 Days of Horror challenges is that it creates something for adults to do while also creating a community of people to discuss it with. There's also been a recent string of actual mainstream interest in the horror genre after it kind of died for a while and, of course, nostalgia bait comes along with that as can be seen will the knew Halloween films, Candyman Sequel, and the upcoming Scream 5 (which I know I'll see since I love the Scream films even if it ends up sucking).

The consooming of horror movies comes into play with all the special physical releases that collectors 'must have' or the massive horror movie collections of films they don't actually like because a new release gets hyped up and they just need to grab the limited edition slipcover. That's not even touching on the ones that collect the funko/action figures/props/random tat that has their favorite slashers slapped on them.

Spoiler: Example from the new Vans horror collection

and why not post some random horror collections off google for some thread content:

The "Live, Laugh, Love" mat really ties it together.

All that shit in front of the films would make it a nightmare to watch anything.

Screengrab from a 45 minute man cave tour that doesn't even show all the clutter, big parts of the collection look like knocking over one thing would cause an entire wall of things to come down from the chain reaction. Link to full video:

I really like Halloween actually, as a non-american is one of the things i don't mind that gets imported from Burguerkistan, is a fun holiday and really cool to experience as a kid, but how true to its spirit it still is nowadays? I am legitimately curious on how is holding up against corporate whitewashing, i haven't been in america since forever. I remember some really edgy halloween house parties from when i was a kid, dangerous pranks and vandalism were still a thing, the horror theme was cranked up, even the music was gothy stuff, but i feel if i went into one of those holidy stores nowadays is just gonna be more capeshit, more soywars, more "sexy elsa from Frozen" costumes, the same internet meme shit from hot topic and a bunch of cutesy decorations rather than severed heads and stuff like that. The average halloweeen party that i have been to here in the last 10 years feels more like "comic con, the holiday". Halloween without the spooky just becomes like our version of Carnival, just random costumes, loud nigger music and booze so is fucking pathetic and dissapointing, i´d rather stay home playing Castlevania and watching Vampire Hunter D.

americans have ALWAYS gone for random non scary costumes equally as much as those who go for scary ones. watch the film Hoscu Pocus, came out in like 95 and half the people are just dressed as whatever.
it always annoyed me and it’s starting to intrude into the UK now- you’re right it has become faggotcon-the holiday. the whole fkn month.

also, the idea of buying your costume from a shop used to be unheard of.
the whole point is the fun/challenge of making it.
anyone can buy one, and come on you’re gonna waste money on that?

And here's me with a small, 11-year old TV for consoles and a 2nd hand IKEA desk covered in work stuff for my PC.
And it's really embarrassing to call your gaming hole a "battle station". Your gaming sessions amounts to nothing in life.
Nothing can beat a set-up like this:

Camping was what poorfags did because you couldn't afford to travel far or go to a hotel. It wasn't great. We didn't have a lot, but at the end of the day, it didn't matter. I still was with my family eating shitty burnt food and going on hikes.

Man, I went on a few camping trips as a kid and one as an adult in 2017. The 2017 one was in November and it was a proper camping trip.
Outdoors, no glam, muddy and cold. It was awesome and would definitely do it again.

OT, but why do some people capitalise random words? I would understand if they were German since all nouns are capitalised in their language, but I see Americans do it on the Internet all the time. The "Lesbian, Asian, and Black" capitalisations are obvious political signalling, why capitalise the verb "creep"? Likewise, why "Insecurities"? Is this an iPhone/auto-correct thing?

That's why medium and above sized towns are unironically kino. You get the community element of a town where it's small enough for people to know you, have most of the perks of living in a city (fast broadband, delivery services etc.) and typically you're in a decent position to drive to somewhere scenic whenever you want. It's like when people go on holiday and their place is magical and decide they want to live there, but the longer you stay in a place the more the illusion breaks as you realise conveniences don't exist.

Personally I'd love to live the rest of my life in Prague but understand that there's a LOT of things I take for granted that would be lost if ever I moved there, and that's a European capital city, imagine trying to move to some Hawaiian island or some tropical beach resort?

If you genuinely believe Prague, the capital city of Czechia with over one-and-a-half million people, has any sense of "cummunity of a town where it's small enough for people to know you", then you are absolutely delusional. Do you imagine it's some run-down village in the middle of nowhere? What "conveniences" do you imagine you'd be losing? I take it you've only ever visited the designated tourist areas where no locals live and serve only as sightseeing landmarks to scam foreigners.

Tbh I mean more in the way of moving entirely out of the country basically puts a nice red line between me and dozens of friend groups I've built up over the years because I can't just hop on a train to go meet them. Also as a britbong I'm actually kinda fond of the NHS and cheap prescriptions. Then there's the whole culture shock in the differences of wages between the pound and the krona. There's lots of first world things (sorry europoors) that I take for granted that would immediately be cut the moment I moved there and the effects wouldn't come into play for a few months.

If I won the lottery and was fully 100% autistic and didn't care about anyone but myself I'd be on a plane there before you could say Dobry den.

Fuck off Anglo, we're full.

Like, My God woman, it's a shitty child's bag. It looks TERRIBLE.

I liked when she lamented that she didn't already have a Halloween backpack, like that is a normal thing adults need, a Halloween themed backpack.

And it's really embarrassing to call your gaming hole a "battle station".

Some girls call their makeup vanities battle stations now. It's just cringe.

The "Live, Laugh, Love" mat really ties it together.

Why is it always live, laugh, love? Why do people love this phrase so much? Even eat, pray, love made more sense.

A lot of brittish people, specially boomers have increasingly been moving to Portugal and Spain and buying property there, its worrysome what the eternal anglo will do to those places if it isn't contained.

That must have been Intel's idea or some other PC autism brand's ad campaign

What the heck are these girls fighting when they put on makeup? Wrinkles? Like, I never thought make up was a battle, if it is a battle and that much of a hassle, you are obviously doing it wrong or you have to lay off the makeup.

As for Live, Laugh, Love, I don't really see it as much these days as "Blessed" or some other version of it, that has sort of become the new Live, Laugh, Love.

Here is an example:

Anybody have any good compilations of overpriced "tacticool" shit in the firearms industry? That's often overlooked in regards to Consoomerism- but look at a lever-action firearm with a picatinny rail and tell me that shit isn't just as pathetic as a Funko Pop.

Bonus points if they have something that resembles a videogame version of it, be it Call of Duty or Girls Frontline.

All that pink plastic and she couldn't be arsed to censor her address, tsk tsk.

It really doesn't matter if god exists or not religion is important because it brings people together. It gives people an identity, a sense of value and having a common belief that you can rally around is very important. People feel lost today lacking purpose and identity and I know that's because impart to the decline of religion. Churches, which are now just dumping grounds for the homeless, used to be a place where a neighborhood would gather and people would meet and mingle with each other forming friendships and relationships. Also the basic tenants of Juedo-Christian religion are basically "don't be a degenerate cunt" which is good.

People in my place still use Mosques for community gatherings(especially in the countryside). But even that's fading away...

Spain has always been the summer destination of choice for all kinds of Brits, from the young, trashy, "party animals" to the friendly boomers; I thought the richer ones buying holiday houses there was the norm for a while now.

I don't think it's political signalling. They're just flat out retarded and think everything needs to have a capital, in a similar vein to those slushbrains Who Type Like This For Some Fucking Reason

and on topic, I love the endless cycle of cheap chinese knockoff merch factories switching to whatever is popular at the time. Go follow any large instagram page i dont suggest this actually and they get paid to shill endless amounts of consoomer garbage. Before it was among us, now it's shitty squidgame costumes and figurines.
