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

This one is pretty funny since this is literally just the release date and title logo of almost all the marvel movies. I'm sure sooner or later it's gonna end up as a muu muu.

It's literally an ad. In a just world they'd have to pay people to wear this shit.

They're hideous and bland compared to, say, the Star Wars action figures I had as a kid 20 years ago. Those were toys and pretty damn cool at that. I would've hated getting Funkopop shit as a kid, would've thought it was like some cheap Dollar Tree knockoff.
A very strange breed of adult. Even if it's still pretty odd to have shelves full of the aforementioned Star Wars action figures, at least you can actually give it an aesthetic beyond that stale, processed, and homogenous Funkopop crap.
To be fair, that's kinda true about most all branded clothing be it with a band logo or the logo of the clothing company.

My brother called me the other day to inform me that he just paid $128.00 for a pair of flip-flops that are made in Hawaii. I nearly dropped the phone. I have a ton of respect for him as a man and a father, but as a consoomer, he's gold metal winning retarded. I have given him a ton of shit over his purchase, as has my other brother. We informed him that our max-out limit for flip flops is $6 to $9.

it just emanates the "sad attempt to feel better than anyone else" that youd expect from a consoomer

I was almost going to agree with this. However, Funko Pops don't have any play or imaginative value to them. I don't know how else to describe it, but Pops don't look like toys a kid can play with in the traditional sense. They don't exude that "you can make-believe with me" feeling. Granted, everyone's imagination is different. Maybe, at best, some kid might pretend a Funko Pop is a trophy or statue if you wanted to be generous, but I really can't see kids WANTING to play with these things. Also, like others were saying, these things are clearly marketed to adults who are addicted to collecting merchandise and/or can't overcome their nostalgia.

How could I forget, the unltimate consoomers:
Consoom brand of apparel with brands on them. I always saw it as the least dignified thing a human being can do, willingly plaster brand names all over himself, his physical appearance predominantly displaying brand loyalty.

This reminds me... how the fuck haven’t hypebeasts been brought up in the last couple pages of discussion? They pretty much exemplify the slavish devotion to a brand, with clothes whose only defining feature is the ugly logo they have plastered over the front.

So whats the consensus on people who buy second hand/vintage stuff. I know one guy who just has a shitload of disco/house records. Its all out of print so he's hardly supporting any industry but the collection is cool imo but categorically im assuming he's as bad as these funkopop homos

We're not here to be a council to decide whether your friend's shitty hobby is consooming or not. Go back to Reddit with that shit.

It's just more filling your house with shit that only has value to other people who also want to fill their houses with shit.

infected by consoomers, guess some people really have to defend their shitty plastic funkos to make it feel like a worthwhile purchase huh?

This is by far my most hated types of content in all of internet. "I bought *insert overpriced bullshit!!!".
This faggot's channel has a bajillion views and this is basically all he does, netting millions of views. His entire channel and many similar channels can be resumed "i bought..." . I bought is definitely up there as one of most cringe inducing search term on youtube.

pose it better then.
If you really want to be a reductionist then anything beyond bare essentials is CONSOOMING, anything bought for your own pleasure and not out of practicality is CONSOOMING. If he listens to records daily, or at least a couple times a week I think it would be a stretch to call him a CONSOOMER even if he doesn't listen to every record he's ever bought.
For relevant thread content I present the ultimate Video Game CONSOOMER, I believe this man holds the record for the largest game collection(or at least did at one point). Honestly conflicted about his collection, on one hand its obviously consooming as he can't have played even 1/3 of these games. On the other its almost like a historical archive of video games, which I think is very unique due to the variety of obscure consoles released. Sure you could argue that emulators solve any archival issues, but its just not quite the same.

BroVets could almost be a thread in their own right.Black Rifle Coffee, the Official Covfefe Of MAGAts, is definitely some high-tier consoomer shit. Their marketing is pretty much virtue signalling in reverse, complete with cloutchasing and pandering to veterans instead of trannies- purely performative anti-wokeness instead of performative wokeness.
3edgy5u, our products are all SCARY BLACK GUN NAMEZ!!
The founder is a dudebro with soyface:
and it makes you wonder- if you're that devoted to OWNING THE LIBS, why not just buy an actual MAGA hat, Kekistan flag or Pepe tat?
ETA: Why? Because they have tons and tons of non-coffee merch for the faithful! This exists so security guards can tell their employers "nuh uh, it's not a political statement, I'm just supporting my favorite coffee company!"
