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

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?
Minor point, but Asian doesn't really fall into the same category as lesbian or black. Since Asia is an actual location, Asian would be capitalized because it's derived from a place name and places are always capitalized in English.

It's an ethnicity.

Granted some Asian hate other Asians.

I wouldn't say some. A lot of Asian countries hate each other for political and historical reasons. Some have not outright apologized and continuously harass some of the countries beside them. I'd argue there is more racism on Asians versus other Asians than say the west.
 
I don't think it's political signalling. They're just flat out exceptional and think everything needs to have a capital, in a similar vein to those slushbrains Who Type Like This For Some Fucking Reason
Seconded, I think these people are just retarded. Usually when non-proper nouns are capitalized, it's because someone is trying to make some kind of point (This thing is Very Important) or trying to shoehorn a non-proper noun into a proper context (It's important because I put Capital Letters in the sentence where they aren't supposed to go!). I can't think of any context where the words "creep" or “insecurities" would be capitalized in this way, even applying the most liberal standards possible.
 
Not sure which thread this sits best in, partly because this gamer is straddling several genres of retardation.

Gamers sincere critique of games they play often seems to cover the same ground.

They often begin by setting out their bonafides such as "ive been playing games since the age of the abacus and have thousands of hours logged in every one of this games predecessors, especially the unpopular ones because i was able to see through the mainsteam critisism".

Then exorbitant efforts to be diplomatic and balanced as they tentatively try to head off any possible criticism they might get.

Frequently, especially in reviews, they will lay out their mental health problems and how this game managed to solve them and many other social and relationship issues.

When a game is facing heavy critisism suddenly everyone is a developer graciously imparting upon the plebs their wisdom about why the issues with the game arent as simple as they may seem.

Then the unpopular opinion. Some pointless criticism or issue that boils down to demanding their needs be centered during development.

Its serious business as gamers arent mere consumers, they are a core part of the development process akin to subject matter experts and consultants.

Anyway here is one example i found in a reddit sub for a tiny early access game.

Also, what game is he talking about?

And "when i was kid i..." mentioned at least 20 times for cheap pathos, , even when they just played the game recently for a review they have to make a big build up of everything in their lives leading up to picking up the game to play . Youtuber breadsword comes to mind, some parts of his videos could be on point then suddenly go for a 20 minute pretentious powerlevel tangent. There's too many content creators who are just failed artists vicariously trying to live their frustated creative dreams sperging about someone else's intelectual property, also lots of shills who know they lack credibility without the adendun of how much of a dedicated gamer they are.

Travellers Rest. Its actually brilliant little game about running a tavern.

However for those in a state of terminal introspection i have no doubt it reflects back at them their inability to exist comfortably.

All the sperging in this thread is ridiculous as hell, people online capitalize words as a form of emphasis. it's just slang.

I dont know whats been happening this week but many threads have devolved into pointless twitter-like exchabges between two people who dont matter about a subject no one cares about.

We should bully them more before its normalised.
 
Halloween is almost here, You know what that means!

Nothing says Halloween like Disney! After all, you only have to pay hundreds of dollars to get into the park, for the flight, for the hotels, etc. But you can consoom and see the Pumpkin Mickey's up close! Think of the Instagram likes!
Don't forget to get your Funko Pop too! For... according to some website, $55!

Or really treat yourself with a honkin' big hunk of plastic with POSED figures!

Nothing quite says Halloween like souless, dead-eyed vinyl figures!
 
Welcome to the world of organized hoarding. This is the process that occurs when consoomers and hoarders start to notice that they have way too much shit and it's interfering with their life - they can't find things, the house is a mess. The solution? Organize all the useless shit in pretty containers! Give no regard to how you use things or if the storage system is sustainable and user friendly, just make sure it's pretty. The Home Edit is a master class in organized hoarding. They will organize all your consoomer crap in a pretty rainbow, just don't try to actually use the storage systems (which they sell) in a practical way, or question if they make sense.

Unsustainable kids rooms:

Not a Lego sperg myself, but as many commenters point out, storing Legos by color doesn't make sense. Also aren't those books and many other things out of reach of the kids, putting the burden of removing and reorganizing on the parent?

Why wouldn't you want to store your thirteen pairs of sunglasses in a drawer with five earrings? Makes perfect sense!

Or just put every earring in it's own cubby.

Just put every scrunchie in it's own cubby. What if you buy another big scrunchie, but you don't have a cubby??! Can you buy only one cubby? Do you have to put it at the bottom with the other less loved scrunchies? You can't even buy a new scrunchie without your system going straight to hell.

They particularly love to do these pantries where the premise is after you go grocery shopping, you take everything out of the package it came in and put in clear containers that they sell. It looks nice, but who wants to do all that work? Also, eat less garbage:

I don't disagree that most of these types of people tend to be consumers, but only a few of the examples here (Specifically the shoe people and one or two of the jewelery obsessed) apply to consoomer let alone hoarder. By definition I don't think you can call someone who can make this clean of an organization of their favorite things a hoarder, as they have some sort of order to their life. I will definitely agree that organizing food like the 10th image is a pure ocd autist thing and was probably also purely made for an instagram post as a lot of these were.

I can see how it treads the line, but I think they're fair game because they are actually a professional service and they are posting real pictures from client jobs and posting a lot of this as advice. It's not really the same as photos displays just for Instagram or stuff like aesthetic fridges. Though some of them might be setups, a lot of it is real and the pantries are real client pantries that they organize. I did get a little carried away because I just think their advice is so bad, and consooming storage solutions is a whole thing. They have many wealthy clients with huge hoards of stuff.

This stuff looks all nice and shit long enough for you to take a picture, but it falls apart quickly if any of this is actually being used on a regular basis.
Take the bookshelves, for example. Aesthetic arrangement works for "storage" shelves, but for reference shelves it's not a good solution.

It's not that hard if you don't live off of mass-produced garbage. I "repackage" the things I keep on countertops into recycled containers because I think it looks nicer and I dislike visual clutter, but that's the counter. That's "out". It's not my pantry or cupboards.
