Som of these look good but $14,000 for a statue? You could buy a car with that money lol.
Simps will literally buy a Dimitrescu statue? She only appears in Resident Evil Village for about 30 minutes
Yet he is still burning his wallet on “valuable” vinyl. The average Redditor.
Note: Nothing wrong with buying a few nendroids or anime statues of your favorite character (that doesnt cost too much) but having a collection of plastic or buying life sized statues is straight up consooming.

She is virtually the only thing being discussed in REVIII, it seems.
Once chinese get the whiff of her popularity, we will probably get 200$ giant blowup dolls of her. Unless these already exist.

What makes it really stupid is that they had a $14K statue that break easily in a bad location. Yes, it fits the consoomer archtype, but a life-sized statue would be kinda cool and seems more like a rich person thing than an inherently consoomer thing. Although, if you're going to throw stupid money at something like that, go bigger and get a bronze statue or something like that as it'd be more durable and harder to knock over.

An actual good looking figure is on average starting on 200 usd, not talking about nendoroids. They start on 60 usd, I think. Probably less if you're pre-ordering, but that's a bit fanatical to me. But real coonsomers do buy every pre-order, if they can. Which is only for a month, the pre-order period.

To be fair if you don't know about RLM at all (which admittedly I only know the name but not knowing who they are), it's natural for you to look at the image macro, surrounded by tons of action figures, and naturally be like "Yeah, he's ironically a consoomer himself", and not taking it seriously.
This one is even worse imo:

They have built a studio filled with figurines and nerd shit but they are only "pretending to be retard".
"But it's just a comedic sketch! It's for laughs!". But these morons watch everything on day one and say the movies are good anyway. What's the point in mocking fake geek culture and be addicted to this shit at the same time? daily reminder they absolutely adored The Force Awakens, they probably even clapped unironically when Solo returned to the Falcon.

I had them as a small child and played with them like they were dolls. I also remember crying all night bc my favorite dog got lost only to be found two days later when my mom did my laundry. I was like 5 or 6
My mom is a mild case of consoomer/hoarder. She buys way too much shit she doesn't need or use because she read some facebook post with pretty mason jars and had a whim to try making her own pickles or some shit. She then never bothers actually doing the thing, because she would rather sit around reading more facebook posts instead. So she just has piles of unused useless crap laying around her house and doesn't pay any attention to it or get rid of anything because her actual surroundings don't give her the same dopamine hit as internet points. I honestly ended up having an anti consoomer/minimalist type of outlook because of her.

I can't understand why in hell you would go to Japan just to peruse the fucking sugar drink franchise from the US or their flavor of Americanized theme parks. I would have to guess it's related to these people being unable to ever step outside of the comfort zones, but there's a billion shops of Japan exclusive items that they could consoom at instead. The Pokemon cafe is probably the only thing here that makes any sense to waste trip time on. And even then it's just generic food dyed wacky colors.

To be fair, finding something that seems so familiar (like a Starbucks) and then seeing how it presents itself to another culture is always interesting. Like I've heard a lot of people--and I don't mean weebs, I mean people--say Japanese McDonalds is way better than American McDonalds.

In most countries you have street markets where the cheap food there is both tastier and cheaper than fast food, so fast food joints need to put themselves into a sort of middle ground between the cheap pig swill they sell in the States and an actual restaraunt.

Another part of it is local food law. It's not the same "McDonalds burger" everywhere you go because different regions have different laws for what you're allowed to feed people.

Yeah.
Speaking as a Britbong I can confirm that UK fast food is healthier than American fast food (which admittedly doesn't mean much) because the UK has laws about putting corn syrup into everything.

Not just the UK, or just fast food, junk food, in general, is just normally better for you and higher quality in most counties outside America.
The reason why the big American chocolate makes is seen as a joke elsewhere. Or why you hear Americans jizz over Mexican Coke.

American chocolate tastes like vomit, I don't know how they manage to get so fat when that's what they have to eat.

They don't really, they only think they do. There have been a number of blind taste tests that have shown either no preference or even a preference for the American formulation. People think they'd like it better because it's different and not something that's typically available where they are, but it's not because it actually tastes better.
Also, people who think that HFCS is inherently unhealthier than sugar need to take a remedial chemistry class.
