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

I'm not sure a teenager's blobby hp fanart demonstrates a concentrated marketing push for vaccines as a lifestyle choice. Got any other examples?

oh, thats not the only example, just looking up "vaccine hogwarts houses" online gives you plenty of results, it was a big meme early on in the vaxx days
the general consensus is that non-vaxxed are either muh evil house slytherin, or muggles

 

[Alouatta Simia Belzebul]

Okay, but do you have any examples that aren't vaxxed people making an in-group club out of something they've already done? I don't think that's consumerism, because it's not like it would send anyone out to complete the collection and get all the different pharma brands, and you can't buy pfizer or moderna merch to show off your 'house'.

id argue that turning your participation in the worldwide covid PVP event into a display of one's corporate loyalty is pretty fucking gay and fitting for the thread
using your choice of jab to define yourself is just another level of corporate dicksucking

but if you want merch after all....

I don't think it was a worldwide thing, in that wasn't a left vs right issue in the UK (our current/covid government was right wing), and I think other places, but if people were wearing t-shirts etc then I guess it was a cosumerist trend in the US.

>this doesnt happen
>ok fine it happens, but its not cringe
>ok its cringe but it doesnt happen everywhere

bro its ok you dont have to go to these lengths, were just here to laugh at idiots
this isnt a personal attack against you

 

[Alouatta Simia Belzebul]

I wasn't taking it personally, I was asking 'how is this consumerist' and you answered.

 

[The Real Slim Shady]

I think Simulation and Simulacra touched on this subject a lot, if that sort of thing would be of any interest to you.

I was visiting the downtown recently and I saw a gay guy walk his dog. Nothing unusual about it except the fact that the dog had a toy stick. It was just like a wooden stick, but it was made of plastic. The guy was also your caricaturally gay man, complete with silver dyed short hair, diamond earrings and fake fur coat. I thought I was hallucinating for a brief moment. I thought then that I should come back to reading that book.

Picture this. A dog toy stick, made of obnoxiously dull brown plastic. I would say it would be stage two:

The second stage is perversion of reality, where we come to believe the sign to be an unfaithful copy, which "masks and denatures" reality as an "evil appearance—it is of the order of maleficence".

You'll notice they're all women's cut tees too.

You're right, but that don't stop men dressing in them. I would say that troons are the biggest consoomer of vaccine merch.

i dont think womens are the biggest 'rona-panickers, surprisingly that has been quite a unisex hobby
i think women are just more prone to consumerism

Not quite. Men and women are equal offenders, the difference is in what they consoom. Women are usually more interested in clothes, to the point where we don't dress for men, we dress for other women. Blokes can generally get away with something neat and clean, so long as he has good shoes and a decent pair of jeans on. Women will eviscerate and outcast friends who don't dress 'properly' or whose makeup style is out of date. Men absolutely consoom much of what women consoom as well, but women generally cop a shitton of social pressure on how they do and don't dress. At one end of fashion there's consoomerism, at the other end is having to keep up with Joan if you want any form of social standing.

Rare moment of self awareness, from the same person.

Men consume items related to their hobbies. Consoomers take it too far and turn collecting things into the hobby itself. I see it all the time in music production, some end up collecting instruments without making any music whatsoever. They covet the items used in the hobby, that’s a consoomer.

Speaking of school trends, anyone remember silly bandz? Those things were trades around for an entire school year when they were popular. By the time summer ended and it was time for school again, literally no one but a few kids had them on in school, and they mysteriously dropped them when they saw no one else was earing them.

I was actually surprised to find out those are still being made when the market peaked and crashed within a school year. I think a lot of this shit that trends in schools follows the same pattern.

I remember Crazy Bonez. Even the day care I went to banned them. That's how disruptive they ended up being.

Honestly find all the people being addicted to buying perfumes hilarious, I just can't find my sympathy bone for them.
BTW 15k is not even 15 perfumes from decent designers like Dior and Chanel. And if you like all of them and they're all regular sized 100ml/3.4 oz, as that's lasting you about a year if you wear a normal amount ever day. Well, you got perfume for 15 years. And it does not go bad after several years. Even if the brands like you to think so. People buy vintage perfume for a reason.

That's not even a bad investment, if you regularly wear some. Because it will eventually be used up.
But yea, the troglodytes do buy fragrances that are being shilled to them on jewtube. And well, I learned fast to never buy anything recommended by them, because they all smell shit. The classics are usually about 100 usd, but you never see them getting shilled

 

[Raging Capybara]

Just take a shower.

 

[Vingle]

Just take a shower.

"Blue" fragrances aka Blue de Chanel and Dior Sauvage Eau de Gunt smells like glorified shower gels. They are the most popular, even tho they're boring af.
To no ones surprise, some people like fragrances that make them smell unwashed. Some do actually like the smell of manure. Well, some do like to play with the poopoo too

Those are t-shirt bots, they scrape the internet looking for trending phrases and hashtags then put them on stock photos of tshirts. They have become the scourge of online advertising. Not great evidence that anyone is into vaccine merch.
