Does that vest say 'virginity is a social construct'? On the left, under the weird black-and-white face patch.

Yes.
And beneath that one is "Cops aren't supposed to kill guilty people either" and "REJECT ART/MUSIC/SEX ABOUT MEN AND THEIR DICKS."
The face patch is Jack Skellington, from a children's movie, and the bottom right is the Monsters Inc. logo, more kid stuff. Plus Bob Ross for some reason.
As far as band logos, I see Blink 182, Misfits, AC/DC, Slayer, Slipknot, and Foo Fighters.
Such a bizarre mix I'd think he was doing it just to troll, but it's clown world so who knows...

What was the first fandom that normalized modern geek culture consumerism worship? I know Trekkies have been a thing for years, but being a Trekkie was considered a joke. No way mainstream. Comic cons used to be for current comic fans. Professional hot girl cosplayer wasn't a thing until the early 2000s as a full time job. Was it the brony fandom? It feels like it normalized adults watching children's cartoons and organizing online. Bronies were like furries without baggage at the time. Not to mention Bronies had a political feminist element of defying gender roles shit.

i do think it was classically oldschool fandoms like star trek, doctor who, capeshit and vidya and such, just retroactively... they werent mainstream when they just started, but then they slowly and gently got bigger, and before you know it, people who used to bully these guys started going "hey hold on, this is catching on, i should pretend to be into this before its too late"
im not even going to comment on pic rel, not the whining about "muh spaces gemme muh SPACEAS", nor the notion of calling the male attraction to the female form a "paraphilia"
because this woman is probably fat and i imagine i wouldnt fuck her

It was a push by large companies in the early 2010s, it was never organic.
They realized they had an entire generation that had grown up mass consuming vaguely nerdy cartoon products (He-man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spiderman, Batman, all the Star Wars, X-Men, Power Rangers) as well as osmosis of more adult aimed media from their parents like Star Trek. Majority of the generation had at minimum a fondness of one of these big IPs even if they weren't mega super fans who went to cons. There was also the booming online social spaces that kept growing (the number of 100% normal housewives and men I worked with who played World of Warcraft in 2007 was insane.) So they started to market the ever loving shit out of it. I remember the social push coming out of nowhere pretty distinctly around 2010-2011, particularly in online marketing and sales. The venture capital began to flow.
Anyway thread tax. I like kitbashing occasionally for fun and naturally that leads me into really interesting consumer territories I didn't know existed via the customizers appearing in my youtube algorithm.
Behold, Littlest Pet Shop Collectors (I'm sorry this 24 year old woman is insanely annoying in advance.)
What I find the most interesting about this consoomer group is it seems to be a never ending cycle of resellers buying and selling to each other. I've been watching the community for around a week now because I find it fascinating. There are a good chunk of legitimate mouth breathing collectors don't get me wrong, but this chick makes her hustle by buying used LPS from ebay resellers (who also only sell LPS, which they have hundreds if not thousands of, likely bought from OTHER LPS resellers). Unlike most other collector circles of adults, these people are also 100% fine with paint chips and dings, as well as encouraging buying Chinese knock offs.
There is like, 2 actually talented customizers in the community I could find, but because the community is so niche most of the popular ones have the same talent as a high school student hobbiest. This cost someone at least $200:
This is considered one of the best and most popular artists.
The community will also make like full length TV series and 2 hour long movies with multiple voice actors and full sets with hundreds of these little buggers. Honestly I at least find that creative part impressive, because they're at least doing something other than buying, even if its all pretty terrible. The fun part is they're in a constant battle with Youtube whether or not their stuff is for kids and demonetization.

The Bob Ross patch next to one declaring “God is Gay”…
Pisses me right off when they use devoutly Christian men, like Bob Ross or Mr. Rodgers, to support their stupid mindless worldview. Bob would have probably just laughed at this creature and said a little prayer for its soul, because he lived according to Christ. I’m not there yet, spiritually, so I still feel the urge to punch these people in the face.

Bronies weren't normalized at all, they were just another group of neckbeards. If they ever got to "normal" then it would've been in the early SJW era of 2013-14 when journos called them stunning and brave.
Star Trek arguably always was mainstream since the 80s, it's just your average viewer wasn't some fat guy who speaks Klingon and hangs out with SFWA members at sci-fi cons but normies who would watch it when nothing else was on (or when they wanted to watch something weird) and go see the movies. Everyone was aware the former group was a thing of course, and I guess now some pastiche of the former group where it's a thin guy who smells nice and doesn't hang with pedos is considered "cool" or something.
I'm amazed Mr. Rogers hasn't been posthumously cancelled for when he went on Johnny Carson back in the day and said boys grow up to be men, girls grow up to be women (since that was in an episode of his show).

Remember Antifa and furries on Twitter tried to go after Mr Roger because they believed the old urban legend that Roger was a commie killing machine sniper during the Vietnam war a few years back. Despite being liberals. Jim Henson and his friends been cancelled thanks to Disney shills.

Overpriced for the amount and lacking in taste. The cheap energy drinks are more value for taste and money.

This statement could be made by many different types of people to mean many different things
Although, let's be honest, this one probably doesn't believe in a god, they're just saying it to try and le trigger someone epic style
Actually, I think that's what 100% of the things written on that jacket are for
Hoping that if anyone stops and reads through it all, which might not be hard to do, this punk doesn't seem like the kind that moves faster than the human eye can read.... they can hopefully catch at least one thing that makes them upsetti spaghetti
It's the equivilant of walking into a crowd and shouting these things, except you can't be bothered to, because you truly do wanna be a nuisance everywhere you go

Bob Ross showed you could make a great painting with nothing but cheap paint you got at the craft store. You didn't need to pay a ton of money to get into the hobby, just a little bit and some effort would do. That is as anti Consoomer as it gets. And you can find the broadcasts on YouTube free today to try painting for yourself

(((Early Life))) doesn’t check out. I actually couldn’t find any definitive answer on this actually, so I will admit error on my part there. That said, he did end every show with “God Bless” and expressed delight in beating the devil out of things.

I was talking with someone the other day about the strange way so many adults nowadays have been swept up in what is essentially (if not literally) toy collecting. Sure, past generations had collections of things, but they had at least a veneer of an adult bend to them (women collecting lots of china, men collecting project cars, tools, etc).
Nowadays, it seems everyone has grabbed onto their childhood after getting to their teens/young adulthood and never let go since. The proof we specifically discussed was the fact that anything "retro" has become expensive and desirable, and only really in the past decade or so.
It's gotten so pervasive at this point that it's sometimes hard to believe that less than 10 years ago, no one really cared about "retro" whatever and people were constantly throwing away games, trinkets, and collectables from the 20th century like the worthless plastic crap it usually is.
I think the reason for this consumerism is two-fold. One is that modern entertainment isn't as satisfying to older consumers as nostalgia *can* be. The other reason is that marketing has become MUCH better at coercing consumers. What I mean by this is that, at some point in time, people started to become less interested in new entertainment, either from an oversaturation of it, lack of innovation in the industry, or whatever else. Thusly, they started backtracking to see if there was more fun to be had with what they already have.
Of course, that frame of mind doesn't work for corporations. Fortunately for them, they have robust marketing departments with which to gain a comprehensive understanding of their customer base. Instead of fight this incoming wave of backtracking and nostalgia, they decided to feed into it, and struck the goldmine that is "make the same thing over and over".
It's crazy how well it works. From a corporate perspective, you're getting paid massive money to trace your own work, and people buy it again because they were just gonna play the old version if you didn't. This goes for things other than games as well, which is why I brought it up. What are Funko pops? What is Disney merch? It's the same thing in essence as a game remake: Goods made from an IP a company already owns, repackaged with minimal overhead and sold to people who like the idea of capturing a portion of their childhood.
The unfortunate consequence of this incestuous feeding of nostalgia is that it has severely stunted the growth of new developments from these companies, who see new IPs as not only the risk they always were, but even if they succeed it'll take years before people start the cycle of nostalgia-consuming that they already have going with their established properties.
Either way, bottom-feeder yardsalers like me lose. I miss my $5 Gamecubes, damn it!

youre conflating jews with israelis
they adore jews to bit, but in the battle between israel and palestine, israel is the bad guy
and ya just cant like the bad guy no matter how good their falafel is, thats what disney taught me
these are the types of people who see a world issue and immediately go "roight then, whos the oppressor, whos the oppressed? i gotta know immediately who to side with so that i dont risk having any... incorrect opinions... for any amount of time."
