Or at least go through the highlights, we've had at least two dozen different posts that wax philosophical on the nature of consoomption.

I'd just like people to show what is fine and what isn't.
Like images of good examples.
I know I'm acting ridiculous and I apologise.
I'm just bothered and conflicted by all this.
I don't see anything wrong with being a regular guy keeping some of his old toys and displaying them.
People like chris chan seem to be the very worst of it.
Most people don't act like that, they don't keep their old stuff from childhood and instantly turn into manchildren

Dozens of examples in this thread.
Then why do you continue?
Not our problem.
Great, you do you then. Let’s hope your collection doesn't show up in this thread. Hint: Don't post it anywhere, if you truly enjoy it. You don't need the approval of others.
People remember him for fucking his mom nowadays, but okay.
No, but it's pretty common for people to keep stuff from their childhood.

most people don't get featured in this thread. This entire site is about laughing at exceptional people displaying exceptional behaviour.
People who have a problem with others enjoying stuff or enjoying childish stuff are usually children themselves. Those who sperg on about how you have to throw away everything because its not grown up is exactly what C.S Lewis, a man who went to war talked about.
“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
Of course have a conscience of your self image and don't go too far into being a literal child. But its fine to keep childhood stuff, if someone goes after others for what they like or enjoying some kiddie stuff they most likely are children desperate to be adults.
See Paul Joseph Watson blabbering on about stuff that's "for children".

There's a difference between keeping something that has sentimental value to you & collecting a shitload of [product] and posting about it on Reddit. The second part is what we laugh at, the first part is something literally everybody does.
How do you not understand this? Why are you here?

You're reading to much into it. It's not you buy 5 items of X you're fine, but 6 is cooomsumer soiboi.
Its a state of mind. A mentality to buy just to buy.

@Arnold7834
You said you are autistic in your first post on here right? I am saying this right now, but while there are certainly many Kiwis here that are autistic themselves, after all, you have to be kinda at least a little autistic to follow losers on the internet, the thing is, most of these users don't bring up their autism and their personal issues or use this site for serious life advice and the ones that do get laughed at. I mean, if you lurked more than a few days, you would know that people really love to shitpost and if you ask a question, especially a really dumb one, you can expect at least one or two dumb answers often times more. Kiwifarms is probably the worst place to ask for life advice.
You really need to get off the internet and see an actual professional that specializes in teaching social skills before you become the lolcow you are desperately trying not to be. Seriously... you should be talking with a therapist about this, we are not therapy.
Of course, I doubt you will listen to us so what I just said is probably useless to you.

This.
Funnily enough I loved Ben 10 and Cars as a kid so I can relate.
I'm not gonna buy Cars toys now and brag about it.
I keep the stuff because its sentimental.
I'll watch the Lion King and Bambi and maybe check on the latest instalments if I find them interesting or I'm invested.
Thats not a consoomer.
That's someone who is a fan of something from their childhood.
A consoomer lives his entire life consooming everything disney.
A disney fan is someone who'll occasionally watch and enjoy the movies he loved and still does.
He doesn't watch every new disney movie, only the ones that interest them.
As long as you remain a functioning adult and don't revolve your identity on one thing its ok.

Then do so. But when you are deciding what to keep and what to give away, think to yourself "Why am I keeping this?"
I'd suggest you wander down to your local moving/storage company and buy a medium size box - about 2 by 2 by 3 foot in Burgerlandian measure. Only keep what you can fit into that.
Edit to add, because me dumb and didn't notice another page:
Stop worrying what other people think. Who cares what some random sped online thinks?

Are they the OG die cast ones from when the movie first came out? Those things were decent quality IIRC.
What you need to do is harness the raw chaos energy of lightning mcqueen and use them as ammo in a custom firearm.
Actually don't do that if you value them but having weird stuff or odd hobbies doesn't immediately make you a lolcow or consoomer.
That reminds me, a friend of mine has a fucking lightning mcqueen portable DVD player From when he was a kid. He uses it for playing the original Xbox whenever there's some long ass unskippable thing he has to grind through in another game. I don't have any weird shit like that but if I did it'd be a conversation piece. God, if only I had gotten something like the fucking portable shrek TV when I was a kid then we'd be in business lmao.
EDIT: what the fuck where did all these posts come from after I typed this shit out AUGH

Consoomers are people who never grew out of being a child.
People like Paul Joseph Watson saying your a child for liking childish things every now and then never grew out of adolescence.
I wish we had a name for those types of people.

I do want to touch on this example. Is the problem that its all star wars stuff or that its entirely in one room.
I do want to help @Arnold7834 even if he doesn't listen. I think its important to give him a chance and to help him out.
Personally this isn't that bad, its clean and so long as the rest of the house isn't filled to the brim like this, I'd say its harmless.

Anti-consoomers who rail too hard could be lolcow material. I mean the ones who miss any nuance and blow a casket over the most innofensive purchases other people make. For every bugman in debt because of funkos theres some basement dweeling nazbol calling people soyboy consoomers for washing their teeth every day and owning more than one pair of socks, like, excuse me for sleeping in a bed with pillows instead of the floor Chairman Mao

There is nowhere to sit, nowhere to relax. A chair or two would make a big difference here. It's neatly organized but lacking in a certain SOUL with it's layout.

And here I spent $45 on my technics stereo from a thrift shop that came with a turn table, table, tape deck, radio receiver and a cd player.
