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

[White Room]

I'm surprised fumo plushies haven't (as far as I know) been mentioned so far. They're plush toys Touhou manchildren pay upwards of 300 dollars for.

I'm unsure if it has been discussed on here or not - I don't really want to look through 400 pages of funko to find out, but the YouTuber MaxMoeFoe is like the perfect embodiment of mentally stunted consoomer and he seems to be safe from this stigma due to his previous content with FF & Idubbbz

this one video in particular sums up pretty much everything I have to say about it. While being a bit old at this point, he has not ceased his consooming, spending tens of thousands on cardboard for his MaxMoeFoe Pokemon channel.

Currently he's on a streak of being flagged as "for kids" by YouTube which is pretty funny - if he stopped saying bad words it would literally be indistinguishable from the type of content aimed at preteens. The guy is harmless and all, I just think it's interesting that he has avoided being soyjakified while being one of the biggest forces in consoomer content.

Holy fuck, that's really sad. I remember watching Max a decade ago when all he made was prank call videos.

You can get reuseable pods that you fill with regular coffee like you would a traditional coffee maker. Obviously single serving only, but honestly I prefer that more since it helps me moderate my consumption.

You can also buy from brands that use compostable pods. Those typically taste better than the normal pods.

They have. but yea Fumofags were a very niche thing till somewhat recently when they became meme popular on twitter.

They used to be sold in drops of first come first serve base which is the reason for the high price but since about a year ago the company that makes them just dose made to order preorders so there is no reason at all for the high price anymore when you can just buy them new for 6000 anime dollars.

That price would be justified if those were something like 5 feet tall. They're not 5 feet tall, are they?

Coffee-wise, I never found drip all that inconvenient. It takes 10 minute tops to prep a pot of coffee and that's if you have to clean it up from a previous brewing. The leftover coffee can be stored in a mason jar and either enjoyed cold or reheated in a microwave. Hell, blend some cold leftover coffee with a bit of ice, a pinch of cinnamon, and a table spoon or two of creamer and you've got the perfect iced coffee for hot days.

I cannot stand those pod machines. I don’t understand why people fall for it - ok, maybe there’s a valid use case in a hotel room or garage waiting room or something, but buying one for your own kitchen is just ridiculous. And then subscribing to monthly pod deliveries, FFS.

I don’t like drip coffee particularly, but years ago I bought a cheap espresso machine - the kind where you scoop a tablespoon of ground coffee into the little metal cup, and then clamp it on to the boiler thing and it chugs hot water through it. Just like a real barista!

Is it more work than the pod thing? Fractionally. Filling it with water is the same. Pouring the coffee in and emptying the used grounds into the compost bin maybe takes a few seconds extra and has the potential for mess, compared to a pod.

But it’s just much better coffee, of your choosing - grind it yourself if you want to get nerdy about it. At a fraction of the price. Without the embarrassing waste.

More like tranchildren. These are like the funkos of trannies

There will come a day when you'll start finding them by the boatload at Goodwill all priced at $1.99 and no one will want them.

Its kinda happening as we speak. Recently Funko had to burn millions worth of merchandise they coulndn't sell.

They have but it was a very brief discussion.

Nah, they're like one foot tall, but 6000 anime dollars is 40 actual dollars.

Nope, about 9-12 inches.

My childhood friend at 35 still watches shit anime, and even has funko pops. He hid them all from me when I joked that I was going to steal and burn them.

I never understood why people like these so much. They're just more expensive Funko Pops for weebs. However I will say I have enjoyed some of the meme videos I've seen of them.

I love Dragon Quest, but I'm completely fine with just owning the games...

Jesus Christ. I've bought a couple of slimes in Japan for fun. That woman is retarded.

I googled them out of curiosity because I don't know if Fumo was a brand or something but those prices are gouged for some reason while the official site lists them at $40ish. Anyway, I think they're under the radar because they aren't as mainstream in comparison.

i dont know much about Fumos but from my limited familiarity with people who like them, it seems there's a very large, popular and even accepted bootleg scene that even "official" collectors respect
that's pretty uncommon in collector circles

 

[The Great Citracett]

The Dragon Quest Ambassador has left his house.



At first I thought he was a consoomer, with his crown and such, but he seems to have made his own entire outfit so he's more like a cosplay sperg who seems to have actually put some effort in.

I think that's mostly because gift (the ones who manufacture the fumos) haven't made a plushie of all the characters from the games yet, so a lot of fans end up commissioning others to make bootleg fumo's of their favorite characters.

Pretty sure this was the mindset behind the Beanie Babies craze of the late 90's and when the bottom fell out of that it crashed HARD. To this day I still see beanies pop up in thrift stores for literally a dollar or two apiece, some of them are even in those protective plastic cubes that were sold at a premium to collectors back in the day. The local video game store where I live has a shelf dedicated just to Funkos and a lot of them are in the $3-5 range because they just don't sell.

Beanie Babies are pretty much worthless now. I was given a whole bunch of mint ones a few years back with "rare" tags, pellets, stitching errors, etc and tried ebaying them. Couldn't even get $5 each out of them.

There are plenty of thrift stores out there who -- to this day -- still won't touch Beanie Babies. They refuse to buy them, accept them on consignment or sell them, new or used. They learned fast how worthless the fucking things were in the second-hand market and refused to get burned a second time.

I still can't believe game shops still bother stocking Funkos at all. Why waste the shelf space? They never move at full price and as mentioned above it's common to find them on sale at clearance prices. They can't possibly be making any money on the ugly things.

>It was a decent investment
I've never really seen anything that was specifically designed to be collectable not turn out to be basically worthless at some point because the market collapsed on them.

And that what it comes down to, dependence. They don't want you to drive to the store, just use Amazon for everything peasant. You'll have to depend on the underpaid delivery driver for groceries. Anything faster and you'll need Grubhub, like a fucking bug, instead of, you know, just picking it up. You must Consoom EVERYTHING. Not even for a hobby, no, for every aspect of your life. It's spooky man.

Glad I'm not the only one who hates these delivery grocieries and shit. Of all the modern consoomer/service economy shit, this trend is the worst thing to come out of WuFlu simply because too many people are lazy niggers.

Also because around my area it is always third worlders who barely speak English who do these gigs and inevitably pester me and anyone around them with questions on where mayo, icing, or literally anything is.

The local video game store where I live has a shelf dedicated just to Funkos and a lot of them are in the $3-5 range because they just don't sell.

Funkos are getting so worthless that they're getting stored in warehouses now in hopes the demand grows again. Literal tons of toxic plastic garbage that can't be recycled or turned into anything useful for human society. In 10,000 years when humanity has wiped itself out, aliens will unearth these fucking things and think they were out gods or some shit.
