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

[Heather Mason]

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.

Listen, you can post whatever you want in this thread, but I sincerely doubt that there'll be anything worse than the parents that named their kid Dovahkiin for free Bethesda shit.

Kids like this would be better off if their parents put them up for adoption. About the closest thing I can think of to this was the story of people getting tattoos for free burritos. That's not nearly as bad though since at least those tards consented to make themselves into local lolcows.

A lot of consoomers are white, black peoples aren’t dropping thousands on Funkos.

What about the hundreds of people that named their kids Kahleesi in exchange for no free shit? I bet season 8 was a trip for them.

Like @Save the Loli said earlier, blacks are just as susceptible to consoomerism as whites, just replace Star Wars and Funko, with Nike and Air Jordans.

I didn't even get this trend, 'Khaleesei' is the title of Daenerys Targaryen not her name itself. It's like seeing 'Richard III' and instead of naming your son Richard you name him King or seeing 'Star Wars Episode II' and naming your daughter Ambassador instead of Padme.

Supreme is peak consoomerism, people will shell hundreds of dollars for just a red paint scheme and a label. I respect the company in a way though, they clearly know how to exploit FOMO and clout culture to rake in the millions.

It's terrifying this kid is turning 10 years old this year. Wonder what the odds are he just goes by "Tom" and always has?

A lot of consoomers are white, black peoples aren’t dropping thousands on Funkos.

As I said, blacks consoom different things like Air Jordans and other expensive ass shoes. If it's a product named in a rap song, the black consoomer wants it. Whenever the newest Jordans come out, there will be fights and riots over the limited number of products at any shoe store. People will be stabbed in the street over it and robbed for their shoes. The shoe store will be robbed when they get the next shipment in. And that's just the people who do criminal shit over it, not the even greater amount of people running up insane credit card debt and other blatant stupidity that keeps them stuck living a shitty lifestyle.

This is admittedly a little different than your Reddit-tier consoomer and is closest to the white trash dumbasses who buy brand new Ford or Chevy pickup trucks every year or so because that shit gets namedropped in country songs. Typically these people will jack up the tires on them and put an exhaust so it makes lots of noise and think that going "muddin'" once or twice a year (even though their truck is almost always spotless and usually just drives on the highway) makes them real badass rednecks (and it isn't a Southern thing, they're all over the Midwest and anywhere else there's lots of whites). Most other brands favored by "white trash consoomerism" is cheaper on the wallet since it's all about shitty beer and whiskey like Jack Daniels, although these guys still run up huge credit card debt anyway.

Lou Gagliardi is a MASSIVE (in more ways than one) consoomer. He begs for money and spends it on electronics.

An ex girlfriend asked me to tattoo the brew dog logo on her cause you can get a free drink in participating stores...

I wouldn't have done it for a paying customer (unless they were already covered in enough shit art that it would make no difference) but we were close enough to our breakup that I was in 'fuckit, just don't start kicking off' mode that I did. Last one of those I ever do.

We see a LOT of heavy consoomers in our line of work and most are looking to recapture a special part of their youth (Pokémon sleeves, animoo and tattoos etc) and I get that, stories are a key to unlocking the human brain and REALLY transfering understanding and emotion, they can lead us to growth and direct our path of development if the story is good enough. It's the same 'energy' as tattoos depicting religious themes and getting custom artwork to celebrate that and experiencing pain, psychologically locking it in, is a very human experience. I can dig it.

What I can't understand is defacing your body with a bog-standard logo you aren't all that attached to for free shit.

In my humble, professional opinion, these companies should be fucking done for encouraging mentally ill, coomer faggits to mutilate themselves.

TL;DR -- custom artwork/Etsy shit celebrating your favourite stories = fair, human shit. Stamping logorinos on your flesh for free shit= mentally deranged.

 

[Cryonic Haunted Bullets]

I don't understand why people play newer videogames in some genres. So few of em are worth the price of admission.

FPS Genre: CS, TF2, COD/BF. Every new thing is either a clone of those or Battle Royale.

Loot'n Shoot: Past Borderlands 1, everything else is just far too samey.

RTS: Brood Wars, CnC, Red Alert, AOE. Nothing new any good.

MMO: Ultima Online, Eve Online, Everquest 1, Guild Wars 1, Ragnarok Online, Lineage 2, Final Fantasy 11. Nothing new any good, only old games are good.

2D Fighting games: Street Fighter 2/Z2/Z3/3s, newer ones shit. KOF98/02, all newer ones shit. GGACP+R, newer ones are shit. Mortal Kombat has always been shit and always will be.

ARPG: You've got good old Diablo 2 and Path of Exile, everything else is underwhelming.

Listen, you can post whatever you want in this thread, but I sincerely doubt that there'll be anything worse than the parents that named their kid Dovahkiin for free Bethesda shit.

Gamers are probably the most obnoxious sub-group of consoomer. They'll whinge about how every new game sucks, but then buy it anyway because they have nothing else going on in their lives.

I feel like buying something on etsy handmade related game you like or something is fine, but once you step into the territory of just buying for the sake of owning something from that specific game you like, you’ve went full consoomer

When is Kiwifarms getting a Funkopop?

 

[Kier]

A friend and I came up with this walking around a Disney park one day. (No I'm not a regular, I used to live in a state that had a park so it was cheap enough for a weekend trip and I hadn't been since I was 5).

People that own more than 3 Funko Pops shouldn't be allowed neither the right to vote nor welfare.

But I do have to say that the Disney people are almost as bad as the Nintendies. Mainly because they genuinly belive the company loves them and wishes only for global happiness, and will take personal offence to the mere suggestion that they are a company at all. Where poketards get offended at the thought their saviors have done something sub-par, these people will go ape shit and have a brain aneurism over the idea that their company is actually motivated by profit.

Our local Consoomer who we actually have an almost lolcow-esque group chat to mock is a massive Disney nut. He has been front row of Frozen on Broadway at least 7 times. He makes the over two hour long drive to the parks at least every other weekend. Not to mention he genuinely believes the only reason Disney charges for anything is to keep funding their next ventures of happiness.

*1 funko pop

If they own a Star Wars or Marvel pop then its straight to the no-suffrage zone but just to protect the poor souls who got them as a gift or just thought one of them was kinda cool or looked funny, we left it at three.

On that note, I do wonder why it is that Nintendo fans specifically account for such a large number of consoomers these days. Their products have been around for a long time now, but the hyper autistic fans of theirs seem like a more recent thing.

I think its just that a lot of autist fans grew "up" and got a job with their own disposable income. So they don't have to wait until mommy gives in and buys them pokemon for their birthdays but they just can spend and spend and spend.

Please share the fun. We're here on the farms after all...

I'd rather be a coomer than a consoomer. No respect for cucks who base themselves entirely on a brand, its basically being a simp but instead of pussy you like shiny toys made for children.

Do they make porn star FunkoPops?

A related topic to consoooming is when Millenials spend thousands of dollars a year on Funkos/Starbucks/iPhone iterations/regular trips to Disneyland/etc. and then bitch on how they have nothing in their savings and blame capitalism. Fiscal responsibility and planning is important yo, if you want to win in capitalism you need to leverage your capital not waste it on little plastic nothings that will end up in the ocean and choke a turtle in five years.

I think a few years ago some bank made a post about how cutting the $6 Starbucks coffee out of your daily routine saved you $2200 a year and a bunch of people on twatter got super triggered about how the bank wanted them to be miserable (as if they need any help). You can absolutely afford your shitty funko pops if you have even a mediocre job and budget well.

I honestly don't understand how people my age can complain about not having any money and always living paycheck to paycheck when they make just as much money as I do. I worked my ass off and live happily on a modest income without any major debt aside from a mortgage for my own home, and I can afford to buy frivolous shit for my hobbies if I wanted. But I've always been a scrooge when it comes to my money and was exceedingly frugal when I used to make pennies in fast food.

Saving money is exceptionally easy nowadays, people just aren't willing to give up their excessive creature comforts and live frugally for any period of time.

Do they make porn star FunkoPops?

Do the ones of YouTubers count?
