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

[LinkinParkxNaruto[AMV]]

Has anyone in this thread mentioned Character.ai/c.ai? It's the go-to site for younger Gen Z girls to have a parasocial relationship with fictional characters from consoomer culture. If a character exists, someone has taken the effort and dedication to make a language model out of it. Some are addicted to that website.

In market logic issues are not meant to be fixed but serviced. Instead of finding what is the root cause of so many people being isolated and alienated you make it into an industry for chatbot gfs/bfs to profit from it and forget about it.

another thing is witchtok and the massive boom in new age Mcspirituality crap. I guess the retardation of tumblr witches has been covered on the farms but there's a consoomer aspect that is absolutely insane and is an industry that keeps growing. Wherever you look now you have people (mostly women) spending thousands on crystals, custom spells on etsy and wellness seminars. It is consoom as a religion in the most literal sense.

Sometimes these things overlap with stuff like kinnies who used to be extremely niche but now you have a whole lot of these kids posting online about astral traveling to hogwarts or My hero academia or something

That's not kinnies, that's the "Subliminal" community which was a clickbait genre on youtube for years people occasionally found and made jokes about till tiktok got it, made a "reality shifting" bootleg ofit that was tied to imagining shit instead of actually being teleported by a video, and it went nightmarishly mainstream for a while a few years ago. Otherkin are the people that want others to think they're like wolves or dogs or the reincarnation of hitler or some fictional guy for some reason. There's some overlap though because there's "subliminals" to become fictional characters or other people too.

Mildly unrelated and it's been brought up before, but the attack helicopter copypasta was about otherkin, not trannies. That's how bad otherkin were for a while back in the early 2010s era. I'm never going to forgive "trans and trans ally influencers" for gaslight subverting it to being about troons.

Chris Chan once again becomes the canary in the coalmine of what lunacy will become trends in the near future. He was into believing cartoons are real before it was cool.

Chris actually got sucked into the YT clickbait subliminal rabbit hole post trooning.
Also I grossly underestimated how much overlap there has been the last few years since the subliminal shit crossed over into tiktok. Looked up some kewords out of morbid curiosity on YT and there was a result that said "kinnie"
Triple crossover because it's fucking homestuck shit too. TRIPLE CANCER!

It's literally just some fucking tiktok format zoomer editing slideshow video of fan art from further back in the day lmao. Probably has some rapid fire illegible quiet text to speech but I'm not hearing it like most of these vids.
Oh yeah, this is the consoomer thread. I guess idiots consoom these kinda? Specifically the mcspirituality kind.

nanoplastics are the new thing to consoom, honestly.

Regarding B&J since I'm a sucker for ice cream: I only buy their overpriced frozen milk when it's on sale, and I only buy the really gluttonous flavors like Americone Dream (fuck Colbert) and Peanut Butter Half-Baked. It would be a huge pain in the ass to buy all the ingredients separately and make it at home so I'll pay the $2.50 for a pint of ice cream. If the generic brands stepped up their game and made really deluxe flavors I'd have no reason to stick to B&J

Moving on, for some reason the absolute shittiest games and products have the most fervent consooomers behind them. Maybe these people were bullied in the past and felt left out, so now they think they can be a cool-kid early adopter of something that nobody understands yet?

For context, EA announced Anthem is officially aborted after they pledged to fix it earlier last year. This was posted hours before the announcement

"Being a fan of a mediocre Google product is stressful. I could never have known Google would shutter a service immediately after launch because it's not like they haven't done this 100 times already. We also wish you'd just leave us alone and stop laughing at our horrible financial decisions and taste in entertainment."

But by far some of the worst consoomers have to be "fashion" enthusiasts. They don't have closets full of Rick Owens or Yohji Yamamoto pieces, they have garages full of cheap Chinese slave-labor basic-bitch fast-fashion label garbage. Never question any hypebeast, sneakerhead, or streetwear kid about the absurdity of paying a 10,000% markup on mass-produced "luxuries" or they might call you poor and have sex with your mother.

That reality shifting stuff is strange I had a friend who had a mental
Break down over it because she thought she shiftedto another reality

Like every anime now is an isekai. Seems no one wants to live in this world anymore.

I guess Ghost in the Shell gave them their fill of cyberpunk over the years and now they don't want a less spectacular version of that in real life.

That sounds more mandela-ish timeline fuckery than subliminal clickbait-ish. I think at least one in every 6 people these days has that kind of feel minus the mental breakdown bit. Shit doesn't feel real half the time lately in more ways than one.

Yeah, that genre of story always kind of existed but it's gotten extremely saturated now the last 8 years.

The nu isekai feels very different than classic stories with that trope. Usually in the old isekais the protagonist is trying to get back to the real world or their presence in the second world is played as a necessary sacrifice. Even not too old stuff like labyrinth. Escaflowne, inuyasha or spirited away take it very different than the new "i am an otaku looser neet irl but in fantasyland i am a genius warrior king scientist and every girl wants my penis" that you flooding the homepage of any anime site today.

The oldest example i can think of is the neverending story and in the book (unlike the movie) the story gets darker after Bastian has his 15 minutes of power fantasy. Him refusing to leave the the fantasy world makes him loose his identity, he turns into a paranoid megalomaniac and starts shitting the same world he just saved. Even back then the author had the forethought to explore the side b of that scenario and the dangers of escapism


Since then the trope has completely reverted to making the real world be shit and loosing yourself completely in thy isekai realm a good thing, iseaki mcs don't even spare two seconds to even remember their own mother once they transport to the dicksucking land. (Like troons)

Also I'm pretty sure that everything Star Wars is rapidly becoming unsellable and worthless, so anyone that wasted their life on 1970s Luke Skywalker shit and so on will soon realize it went from gold to shit. Just a though

It's not even just Star Wars. I understand that the whole market for hermetically sealed "investment" comic books has recently gone bust. I'm sure that's just the start. Star Trek merchandise has already been in free fall at least 20 years. American pop culture has been so completely raped, and the economy is in such a shitty state, I think the secondary market for most old pop culture shit will be prematurely eviscerated.

Some of these look kind of neat with the color schemes, but the way it's phrased and the protectors tells me it's going to end up being RNG funko wall eventually.

American grown ass women/TikTok users are currently going insane over some halloween-themed Hello Kitty merchandise released by Marshalls. More specifically blankets. They're cutting each other, yelling and swearing, and there's people fighting over who can get a specific product, all for a kids character and a holiday that's not happening until the end of the next month. Plus they were lining up to get that merch since 9:00. Some people are already reselling these blankets for over 70 dollars, and much like funko pops, some people don't even want to open them because it would "devalue" the product.

Apparently, the cops were called over that last month.

Hello kitty is not a cat drawing, is a demonic sigil

Hello kitty is not a cat drawing, is a demonic sigil

on her own she's a cute mascot, i have to admit, i'm fond of her

but explain to me why on god's good green earth is it such a BPD bitch magnet
i know they love their cute shit, but what is it about sanrio in particular? is their shit somehow scientifically designed to be the ideal "type" of cute to attract these loonies? is it just one of the more popular pop culture cute things so the girls who are attached to it don't really like it, they just pick it and pretend they do? i'm sure the latter is true for some, but if there's one thing i learned of these kinda whores is that they genuinely do, honest to god, love cute things, maybe even love them a bit too much to the point where they have the urge to purge anything that isn't adorable
maybe a bit of both?
maybe it's their well documented nature of desperately trying to control the way they're perceived leading them to neurotically trying to design and maintain their perception and thus gravitating towards the brands that do the job best?
